An obnoxious number of changes, any of which you're free to veto or tell me to modify. The basic idea behind all of this was to make it possible to save the encrypted credentials to a file for later use so a user wouldn't need to either (a) store their router password as plaintext in a cronjob or, at the every least, their bash history or (b) always be prompted for a password. Note that I still need to test the longevity of the credentials, because if they expire after a few hours (or even a few days), then they're not nearly as useful for this idea, and I'll need to figure something else out (or settle for my unencrypted router password stored in crontab, sigh).

Anyways, the major changes are:

• Allow for credentials to be saved to and loaded from a JSON file
• Set a default for the admin username (to uh... admin)
• Allow the user to either pass the password in as an argument or input it at a password prompt
• Move everything into a class and instantiate that class (this really wasn't entirely necessary, I'm just a nerd)

If you want some of these changes but not all, feel free to copy+paste, or even ask me to go make a less-drastically-changed branch.

IPv4 addresses are supported at ping hosts (e.g., 8.8.8.8), but IPv6 (e.g., 2001:4860:4860::8888) isn't on Linux as it requires the use of ping6 instead of ping.

It would be nice to support both.

Add .env support for config & refactor arg parsing

I tried various choices and it looks to me like every time it's still only doing 1 ping.

Unifies logging to use logging and adds option to log to syslog.

Note that it works on Linux, and I cannot figure out why it doesn't on macOS (/var/run/syslog should be the socket to write to…).

Implements #54 on Linux, maybe on macOS too.

Here's a proposed patch to solve #42.

To make it work: do a search and replace of hugohh/tmo-monitor into your know Docker Hub username/repo, and add the corresponding DOCKERHUB_USERNAME and DOCKERHUB_TOKEN as repository secrets.

I grabbed the latest version and the logging is not working. Where it was on 12/30. Also the print configuration on the latest version is not working.

When I remove the first six characters (T-Mobile ID), then divide the remaining 8 digit number by 256, the tower ID matched what cellmapper.net showed for my connected tower. Discard the numbers after the decimal point, to get the correct enBID. I would be amenable to letting you ssh into my Linux Box, running Fedora 35, if you care to test it with a live unit. I do appreciate this effort you are putting out, for all of us who are using the Arc box. Using CGI on LTE tab, as the source, peel off the first 6 characters, then divide the remaining 8 digit number by 256, drop the characters after the decimal point, should give cell tower enBID that match the stuff reported to cellmapper.net. Hope this helps. Great work on this tool.

At given times of the day and especially in bad weather you can experience "drop outs" that can last for 20-30 seconds. Right now this will trigger a reboot that adds another 2 minutes into the process. If the monitor was to do 4 pings 10 seconds apart before triggering a reboot this would allow for those moments of drop out or latency.

This seemed to be different enough from the "enhance ping" issue where it talks about multiple hosts vs multiple pings across a timeframe interval.

Hey there! First, thanks for the script!

I wanted to add (local) logging, but before I hacked on it I figured I'd add support for .env files and clean up the argument parsing a bit. I tried not to change the semantics but I haven't thoroughly tested yet.

What I've got is a pretty major refactor that's just one commit behind your repo's status.

https://github.com/AndrewPardoe/tmo-monitor/blob/config/tmo-monitor.py

If you like the refactor, I'm happy to integrate your multiple ping logic & submit a PR to merge everything back. If you don't like the refactor, I'll probably maintain a fork. I'm still testing so I haven't created a PR yet.

Please LMK.

It looks like T-Mobile started blocking pings, and so the connection looks down even when it's not. This broke this tool for me – I'm assuming for others too.

We should add a different mechanism, such as DNS lookup or HTTP request.

I had issues when my Linux system didn't apparently handle IPv6 pings to Google very well, and for some reason tmo_monitor/gateway/base.py wanted to use IPv6 ping. It would be really nice to either explicitly force ping -4 by default, or allow the user to specify ping -4 as a command line option.

In my configuration I wanted to make double sure it didn't use IPv6 ping, so I just hardcoded base.py to add the -4 flag...

Doesn't seem to be able to reboot the router, so it just exits?

Also all of this happens within a few seconds, it's not like it sends an initial reboot command then waits for the router, then fails.

Sorry, Python noob here.

Do I need to download the project and unpack it in the home directory?

Not sure where to insert this, without possibly breaking stuff.
