ksp_grafana_dashboard

This project uses Docker Compose to build a start a pre-configured Grafana server and a telemetry database.

The server will serve appropriate Mission Control type dashboards, customized for KSP.

Later versions may also include the code to actually get telemetry into the database, and a web interface to start/stop kRPC connections. https://github.com/uiuc-cs-ksp/krpc_telemetry_server

If we decide later that we need custom plugins or extensions to Grafana, they should also be stored in this project if possible.

Goals

• Nice dashboards that are useful for playing KSP (especially as a group.)
• Ease of use
• Straightforward configuration. (All non-default config files stored in this repo and easy to access/alter.)

0.1.0 goals

• Basic KSP dashboard(s) using only default widgets.
  • Current mission/game/next-node time.
  • Resources
  • Thrust/Force
  • Current ISP
  • Engine temperatures
  • Atmospheric stuff. (drag, pressure, etc.)
• Preconfigured datasource.
• No login needed.
• Land on a KSP dashboard as the "Home" dashboard.

0.1.1 goals

• Include the telemetry getters in this project.
• A flask or other UI for starting/stopping getters, finding the ip/port/etc of a kRPC server (running KSP game.) (It could be a Grafana widget/plugin/something, but only if that is easy to do, if it takes much effort, put that off to later.)

0.1.2 goals

• Basic security configuration. (Bearing in mind that this is still for private/entertainment use. It will usually be run locally.)

other goals

• Can we have dashboards get their clock time from KSP, using the KSP game date instead of UTC or unix time?
• Can we alter the sense of time somehow to know that KSP days are 6hrs?
• Can we have multiple timeframes? A kerbol is different on each body.

potential plugins, etc.

• Solar-system view? (Maybe from astropy or something.)
  • With ship orbits and manouver nodes?
  • 3D? (Three.js)
• Navball?
• etc?
