Step-by-step for users with limited DevOps experience. Covers:
- Quick start (5 minutes to running)
- Connecting observers (public broker vs your own)
- Common gotchas: port 80 for ACME, MQTT security, DB backups,
DNS before container, read-only config, skip internal HTTPS
- Customization and branding
- Troubleshooting table
- Architecture diagram
Visual step-by-step showing why two passes are needed — forward
pass can't resolve hops at the start of the path, backward pass
catches them by anchoring from the right.
Comprehensive documentation of how MeshCore Analyzer resolves
truncated hash prefixes (1-3 bytes) to node identities across
the entire codebase. Covers firmware encoding, server-side
disambiguation (3 implementations), client-side HopResolver,
live feed's independent implementation, and consistency analysis.
Notable findings:
- /api/resolve-hops has regional filtering that disambiguateHops() lacks
- live.js reimplements disambiguation independently without HopResolver
- Inline resolveHop() in analytics resolves hops without path context
- These are not bugs but worth knowing about for future refactoring
