Welcome to the aprsc discussion group!

aprsc (pronounced a-purrs-c) is a core APRS-IS server for Linux and Unix servers, and this is the official discussion group for aprsc-related matters. The discussion group can be used like a mailing list (you'll receive posts over email and can submit new posts from your mail client), or through the web view. If you're running aprsc on a server, I would like to strongly encourage you to receive the group over email so that you'll receive update announcements in a timely manner.

Group rules:

Post new questions as new messages to the list. Do not reply to a message, unless you are really replying to the contents of that message. Replies which are actually new posts on a new topic do not show up as separate topics on the web archive / forum (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/aprsc) and will not be found by others who will later be looking for the answers to your question.
This discussion group is about aprsc. Do not post questions about other software, or generic APRS topics which should go to APRSSIG.

aprsc has been designed strictly for use within the APRS-IS core, hub and Tier2 servers. It includes only the basic functionality required by those servers. It does not, and will not, have any additional functions such as igating, digipeating, interfacing to radios, D-PRS or other gateway functions, or object generation. If you need a nice, compact igate software for Linux, please take a look at either aprsg, aprx, or aprs4r. If you need to run an APRS-IS server on Windows or some other platform not supported by aprsc, or if you need the features existing in javAPRSSrvr which are missing from aprsc, javAPRSSrvr is the right choice for you – it's got a lot of good features that many of you need, and it works on virtually all operating systems. If you need an igate for Windows, APRSIS32 should be good.

aprsc is open source, licensed under the BSD license. It has about 12000 lines of relatively clean C code, built using the usual ./configure && make && make install method. The embedded HTTP status server is built using the libevent2 library, no other extra libraries are needed. Linux and OS X are the main development environments and will receive premium support, but FreeBSD is known to work too. Packaged binaries for Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS are available for super-easy installations and automatic upgrades.

aprsc has been developed between 2008 and 2014 by Matti Aarnio, OH2MQK (aprx), and Heikki Hannikainen, OH7LZB (aprs.fi).
