ip_webpage

Docker based system to show all the ip numbers assigned by an Apple Time Capsule, and their ongoing ping status. The exported Time Capsule.baseconfig file is exported into the /app folder.

When the server first loads, it reads the file and creates an export with just the IP registrations. It then uses the file to build a webpage that can be updated by web sockets.

The client also uses the export file, pinging each entry in turn and posting the result to the website.

git clone https://github.com/sfduff/ip_webpage.git

Navigate into the new folder /ip_webpage and build the containers

cd ip_webpage
