Both reported by Jade, and both were arbitrary caps rather than real limits. wada.mesh.contacts() scanned the first 200 contacts, returned at most 100, and said nothing about having truncated. On a device holding 2000 contacts most of them were simply unreachable. It takes an offset and a limit now, defaulting to the old 100 and capped at 250 per call, because every entry is an eight-field Lua table and building thousands in one go would exhaust the per-app heap. The window moves, so everything is reachable by asking more than once, and the new wada.mesh.contact_count() means an app can page without probing for the end. The app source limit was 64 KB, which an ordinary program can reach. It is 192 KB now. The source sits in PSRAM only until luaL_loadbuffer has compiled it, so this is a transient allocation, not a per-app cost, and the compiled chunk still has to fit the 256 KB app heap. The Store's download buffer was the other half of that ceiling and moves with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
wadamesh.com infrastructure
Distribution stack for wadamesh: a VPS nginx origin behind Cloudflare.
tiles.wadamesh.com →CF (HTTP, edge-cached) → nginx → OpenStreetMap / OpenTopoMap
firmware.wadamesh.com →CF (cache bins) → nginx → /srv/wadamesh/firmware
flasher.wadamesh.com →CF (HTTPS) → 301 → wadamesh.com
wadamesh.com →CF (HTTPS) → nginx → /srv/wadamesh/site
Map tile styles. The default /{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg route serves OpenStreetMap
(the firmware default). An opt-in OpenTopoMap topographic style is served from
/opentopo/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg (explicit OSM alias at /osm/...); the device requests
it only when the user enables Map → Options → Topographic map. Legal: OpenTopoMap
map tiles are © OpenTopoMap (CC-BY-SA) over © OpenStreetMap contributors
(ODbL) + SRTM — the touch UI shows that attribution when topo is active, and the
14-day disk cache keeps each tile hitting OpenTopoMap at most once per fortnight
(their tile-usage policy asks for a contactable UA + caching, both of which the
transcode service provides). Deploying the topo routes = update
tiles.wadamesh.com.conf + tile-transcode.py, then
systemctl restart wadamesh-tile-transcode && nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx
and purge the Cloudflare cache for tiles.wadamesh.com/opentopo/*.
The firmware fetches tiles + the update-check over plain HTTP (on-device HTTPS isn't viable — mbedTLS needs ~30 KB heap, only ~5 KB is free post-Wi-Fi), so the tile + firmware hosts must stay reachable over HTTP. Cloudflare provides the edge cache, HTTPS for the flasher, and hides the origin IP (so no IP lives in this repo or the firmware).
1. VPS (origin)
sudo apt install nginx
sudo mkdir -p /srv/wadamesh/firmware/releases/TOUCH /var/cache/nginx/wadamesh-tiles
sudo cp deploy/nginx/tiles.wadamesh.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo cp deploy/nginx/firmware.wadamesh.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/tiles.wadamesh.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/firmware.wadamesh.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx
2. Cloudflare
- DNS:
A/AAAArecords fortiles,firmware,flasher,@→ the VPS IP, all Proxied (orange cloud). - SSL/TLS: mode Flexible (CF↔origin HTTP) is enough since the origin is
HTTP-only. Do NOT enable "Always Use HTTPS" on
tiles.orfirmware.— the firmware needs plain HTTP there. - Cache Rules:
tiles.wadamesh.com/*→ Eligible for cache, Edge TTL ~14d.firmware.wadamesh.com/releases/*/*.bin→ cache, Edge TTL ~1d.firmware.wadamesh.com/releases/TOUCH(the listing) → short TTL (~60s) or Bypass, so new releases appear promptly.
3. Publishing a release
From a wadamesh checkout (builds both boards, refreshes the listing, rsyncs up):
WADAMESH_VPS=user@your-vps scripts/release.sh beta_2
The on-device check GETs http://firmware.wadamesh.com/releases/TOUCH, finds the
highest beta_<N>, and (once OTA-over-Wi-Fi is re-enabled) pulls
…/releases/TOUCH/beta_<N>/<board>.bin.
Done
- Web flasher ✅ — the guided install page at
wadamesh.com, served fromdeploy/site/and published byscripts/deploy-site.sh(esp-web-tools / Web Serial, per-board install buttons + .bin downloads, manifests generated per release byscripts/build/gen-flasher-meta.pyinto the/latest/and/latest-beta/feeds thatrelease.shrefreshes each publish). flasher.wadamesh.com301-redirects to the apex (seedeploy/nginx/flasher.wadamesh.com.conf) — it is an alias, not its own page.deploy/flasher/is the original standalone flasher page. No deploy script publishes it —deploy-site.shshipsdeploy/site/only — so it is effectively an offline/local copy kept in parity by hand. Retire it or wire it into a deploy target; until then, treatdeploy/site/index.htmlas the only install page users can reach.
TODO before public launch
- Re-enable OTA-over-Wi-Fi in the firmware (currently it version-checks then defers to manual flashing).
- Flip
wadameshrepo public = launch. - Decide tile-proxy sharing: dedicated
tiles.wadamesh.com(this config) vs reusing the meshcomod proxy.
Never commit the VPS IP, SSH keys, or
WADAMESH_VPS. Cloudflare fronts the origin; the deploy target is supplied via the environment at publish time.
