Other OS support. #78

Closed norey closed 4 years ago

norey commented 4 years ago

I would like to know if there will be future support for other OSs. I'm specifically interested in a Linux version. Use case will be using a small device (running Linux) with internet (thru SIM card) and GPS sending data to my broker.

We don’t have specific plans, but there’s no reason it shouldn’t be possible.

As inspiration you might enjoy these small “projects” we did for fun: a tiny ESP8266 based tracker and a proof of concept using a Particle Electron.

A few years ago I played around with gpsd. I've polished up the code a bit and have made it available at https://github.com/owntracks/ocli. Comments, tests, improvements, suggestions, welcome, particularly as pull requests. :-)
