The map About/credits sheet was 820 bytes of raw English built with snprintf and no TR() anywhere in it, so it stayed English in every language (#257). It is now three keys: the two attribution headers (the OpenTopoMap variant is credited separately because its style is CC-BY-SA) and the body, kept whole rather than split per paragraph so translators get prose instead of fragments. The buffer grows 820 -> 2048 because Hungarian runs about 1.5x English here and the Cyrillic and Greek files are two bytes a letter. Hungarian text from pisti87 (#257). Two edits to what he posted, both flagged on the issue: the hard line breaks he inserted at the English wrap points are gone, because the label wraps itself and a fixed break lands mid-sentence on any other panel width; and the header reads "Terkep adatok" rather than "Map adatok", which looked like a copy-paste artifact given the rest is fully translated. The OpenTopoMap variant is derived from his own wording and is his to correct. Also raw, from the same report: the Discovered auto-add hint and the four type words it interpolates. The hint buffer goes to 240 bytes and the type list to 128, since the translated plurals are longer than "chats, repeaters". The reason none of that would have shipped: gen-lang-builtin.py exists so the baked-in table and the .lang files the store serves cannot drift, and its docstring promises a pre-build step that runs it. Nothing ran it. Editing a .lang and building produced an image carrying the OLD translations, silently. It is now a real pre: hook on all seven PlatformIO envs and a line in both IDF build scripts, regenerating only when a .lang is newer than the header. deploy-apps.sh grew the matching check for the other half of that path: a catalog version that disagrees with the file's own "# ver:" publishes translations to a version no device asks for. All thirteen languages snapshot to v17 -- the merged region and SD work added keys to every file, not just Hungarian. 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

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.
