Karshipta v0.1.0: self-hosted fleet console for PX4/ArduPilot, plus non-flight trackers via Herald
Just shipped v0.1.0 of Karshipta, an open-source, self-hosted command and control console for fleets, not just flight vehicles.
Two paths into the same console:
- MAVLink vehicles (PX4, ArduPilot, real or SITL) through a C++20/MAVSDK gateway: telemetry, commands, and Fleet Missions where each vehicle gets its own independently planned route, tracked as one unit through upload, flight, and stop.
- Herald: HTTP ingestion for anything with no autopilot and no command surface at all, livestock GPS tags, generic GPS/GSM trackers, includes a GT06 protocol parser (the wire format for a large family of low-cost trackers) and a declarative field-mapping config for other devices.
Both show up as a “ward” on the same fleet map, same browser console, self-hosted, AGPL-3.0.
docker compose up gets 3 PX4 SITL vehicles and a live console running in under a minute if you want to try the flight side without hardware.
Would especially like feedback from anyone running mixed fleets, multiple vehicle types, or non-flight trackers alongside vehicles; that mixed-fleet case is exactly why this exists.
