Cloudlog - hosted amateur radio logbook

[ei8fdb]

In terms of common Cloudron usage this is probably niche, but there are 3M+ amateur radio (aka ham radio) operators in the world, me included!

For those unfamiliar - amateur radio operators need to log contacts they make with other amateur radio operators. They do this in their logbook. This used to be a physical paper logbook, like this one.

Nowadays it's done in software, usually installed locally, but there are some "cloud" based services.

Cloudlog is one of those hosted services. I've looked through their repo and they've got a Docker instructions.

Would anyone be able to say how difficult it would be to package Cloudlog?

I'd be happy to do some of the legwork (opening issues for necessary questions in their repo, etc) to see what's involved.

Description

Cloudlog is an open-source PHP & MySQL based amateur radio logging application, allowing you to log contacts via a web browser on any device and platform.

This is an ideal general-purpose logging application, supporting HF to Microwave, it can even interface with your radio via CAT, sync logs from WSJT-X & if you are a satellite operator integrates with SatPC32.

Looks like that's a PHP script with a docker setup - it can be ran on the LAMP app if you wanted it right now.

I will take a look at it later

@murgero Thanks for the reply. I did think that might be possible but I wasn't sure. In which case, I might try it myself over the next few days and see how it goes. I might be back to the forum with questions if I get stuck.

Hea @timconsidine great to hear your licensed too! I'd be very interested to hear what you think about running it on the LAMP stack.

I'm currently trying to listen to KE5EE in Florida on 20M. QSB noise is 7+!

What modes do you operate? Any interest in DMR? 73s de EI8FDB/M5FDB

@ei8fdb Absolutely! Let me know if you need help, I am available most days for convos

Yes, @murgero is right, it should install fairly easily into a LAMP stack

Currently, I'm only a beginner, got my licence using a handheld so 20m and 70cm.
But my home is in a bad position for a handheld, so I am trying to install some donated kit, proper aerial etc. Sadly the project is delayed by other stuff, but I would like to get it going.
I'm not a "prepper" but I do believe amateur radio is going to be valuable in future.
DMR is interesting but I am not there yet.
