Ground Control Station Desktop Application

This repository involves the User Interface and Database subteams for the NGCP project.

Getting Started

This project uses Tauri, Bun, and Vue 3.

Installation

Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/ngcp-project/gcs-user-interface.git

Install dependencies.

bun install

Run the application.

• NOTE: Ensure PostGreSQL and RabbitMQ images need to be running, along with ONLY the Map server container (bun run osm:run)
• Simply running docker-compose up will run all containers and cause the map server to fail.

bun tauri

Setting up FPV camera server

Install Flask and opencv-python dependencies.

pip install flask

pip install opencv-python

Install pyinstaller, this will be used to compile the .py file into a binary.

pip install pyinstaller

Add binary to Tauri config so it is bundled with the build.
In src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, add "binaries/opencv" within the [] of "externalBin": [].

Create binary from opencv.py

pyinstaller --onefile .\src-tauri\opencv.py --distpath .\src-tauri\binaries\

Ensure theopencv binary is in the dist folder. If needed move this into binaries folder (if there is already a file, replace it).

Run a Node.js script to rename the binary file, as you must add your architecture to the file name.

bun run target:triple

Now the FPV camera server should run with bun tauri dev. It takes time for it to spin up and once it does, make sure you refresh the camera window.

Setting up map server

Ensure Docker is running then install the docker container. Note only update

bun run osm:setup

Run the Map Server container.

bun run osm:run

Running the PostGreSQL Docker image

docker-compose up db

Running the RabbitMQ Docker image

docker-compose up rabbitmq

Map Server Debugging Notes

• If you get an error "Error: role renderer already exists" when running the map server, go into Docker Desktop and delete the volume installed. Re-run the setup command to install the volume again.
