AIS-catcher serial port Issue #94

Open

Description

@MaxtheMaker414

ais-catcher.service

Line:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/AIS-catcher -u ${UDP_DEST_ADDR} ${UDP_DEST_PORT} -e ${SERIAL_BAUDRATE} ${SERIAL_PORT} -N ${HTTP_PORT}

Log:
Failed to open serial port /dev/ttyUSB1 at baud rate 38400
Error: -e ${SERIAL_BAUDRATE} ${SERIAL_PORT}

Is this intended for GPS?
I am not using the GPS on that port, so the AIS-catcher service is exiting.

Manual workaround for rtl-sdr:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/AIS-catcher -d 00000162 -s 1536000 -p 0 -u ${UDP_DEST_ADDR} ${UDP_DEST_PORT} -N ${HTTP_PORT} -X off

Possible solution:
Add cockpit settings for AIS-catcher to select the device and configure custom options for SDR, GPS, and community feed upload.

Also, as far as I can see, the -X off option for community feed is not being used in the service, which could lead to a privacy issue regarding the device’s location.
