<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thanks Dan!<br><br>That is exactly what I am looking for. The replicated database is crucial. I'll get it up on our sandbox server asap. I figured you all would be working on something like that to complement Commotion. <br>
<br></div>Another question- I want to implement GIS servers and an emergency CRM on the Pis but still retain survivability if one or more of the devices gets knocked out. Any thoughts on using an Anycast routing scheme and multiple instances of the CRM and map server to achieve this? I'm I barking up the wrong tree?<br>

You might want to check out my project MediaGrid:<br>
<a href="http://mediagrid.disman.tl/" target="_blank">http://mediagrid.disman.tl/</a><br>
<br>
It implements a decentralized, encrypted webchat service (as well as<br>
file sharing), and was designed to run on Raspberry Pis in a mesh network.<br>
<br>
It's decentralized in that each Pi (or whatever device running it) has a<br>
database of messages that it continuously synchronizes with the other<br>
devices on the mesh, constantly updating with new messages. You can also<br>
do private messages to other users in the webchat, similar to IRC.<br>
