This standalone distribution is retired. v0.9.394 is its final release. New waev:outpost updates are delivered through the waev:outpost Repeater plugin. Start with plugin release v0.9.396, or install the currently approved version from Repeater's catalogue.
Your existing standalone installation can continue to run. The v0.9.394 downloads remain available. Installing the plugin does not require deleting /opt/pymc_console, resetting Repeater, changing radio settings or replacing your credentials.
Use your existing repeater address; the examples below assume the default port, 8000.
- Open the built-in Repeater interface. In the legacy waev:outpost console, open Configuration → Web Frontend and select Default Frontend, the built-in Repeater interface. In v0.9.394 the change applies immediately and reloads the page. If needed, open the repeater's home address,
http://<repeater-ip>:8000/. - Install from the catalogue. In the built-in interface, open System → Plugins → Catalogue, find waev:outpost, and press Install. Catalogue installation enables it automatically.
- Check the plugin. On the Installed tab, confirm UI READY. If it is disabled, press Enable. Use Open UI, or open
http://<repeater-ip>:8000/plugins/waev.outpost/, and sign in with your existing Repeater credentials. Check the installed version and connection to your repeater. - Make it the default. Return to the built-in interface and open System → Configuration → Access → Web Options → Web Frontend. Select the waev:outpost plugin entry. The selection applies immediately; the repeater's home address now serves the plugin.
If the old folder is still installed, the built-in interface also lists openHop Console at /opt/pymc_console/web/html. That is the old standalone copy. Choose the plugin entry for new releases.
Your Repeater configuration, radio identities and login credentials stay in place. Keep the same protocol, host and port to retain access to that browser origin's saved preferences. The old standalone folder can remain as a fallback; no uninstall is needed.
If System → Plugins is missing or the plugin manager is unavailable, update Repeater and check its plugin prerequisites before proceeding. The old standalone installer does not provide plugin support.
To install a specific published plugin version, download its single .whl asset from waev-outpost-plugin releases.
In the built-in interface, use System → Plugins → Install wheel, choose the file and press Install. Press Enable if disabled, confirm UI READY, and test /plugins/waev.outpost/. Select the plugin under Web Options → Web Frontend if you want it at /.
A fresh local-wheel installation has no catalogue repository metadata, so the automatic Update operation may be unavailable. Update it by uploading a newer wheel with Install wheel again. To adopt catalogue-managed updates, use the catalogue-install API to reinstall the approved version. Check that version first because it may be older than a manually uploaded wheel.
- Catalogue installation: in the built-in interface, use System → Plugins → Catalogue → Refresh, then Update when offered. In waev:outpost, the version badge also offers What's new → Check / Update when the repeater reports an available plugin update.
- Fresh local-wheel installation: upload the newer wheel with Install wheel again, or adopt catalogue installation as described above.
- Legacy standalone installation: this repository ends at v0.9.394. Its old
manage.sh upgradedoes not install or update the plugin.
Updates require your confirmation. A published GitHub release becomes available through the catalogue only after approval, so the catalogue may temporarily offer an earlier version. Repeater itself is upgraded separately through its own supported installer or container process.
In current waev:outpost, open Configuration → Web Frontend, select Default Frontend, press Set as default interface, then Open default interface in a new tab. The direct /plugins/waev.outpost/ address still opens the plugin; use / to see the selected default.
To temporarily return to your old standalone copy, select openHop Console in the built-in interface while /opt/pymc_console/web/html still exists. waev labels this choice waev:outpost · standalone install. Your old copy keeps its installed version; the standalone channel ends at v0.9.394.
If the UI cannot be opened, follow Recovery to restore the built-in default through the authenticated Repeater API or the host's existing configuration. Switch to a working default before disabling or uninstalling the selected plugin. Do not delete Repeater's configuration or data.
