🚀 AllTune2

One Dashboard. All Your Networks.

✅ Optimized for Debian 13 on 64-bit ARM systems, including compatible Raspberry Pi models, and AMD64 (x86_64) platforms.

AllTune2 is a modern control panel for AllStarLink 3 and DVSwitch-style radio systems.

It gives you one place to work with:

BrandMeister
TGIF
YSF
D-Star
P25
NXDN
AllStarLink
EchoLink
Local Monitor
Transceive
Favorites
Live status and activity
Audio alerts

Simple. Clean. Powerful.

✨ WHAT ALLTUNE2 CAN DO

AllTune2 is meant to be a one-screen radio control center.

With it, you can:

connect to BrandMeister talkgroups through the native BMTD backend
connect to TGIF talkgroups through the native TGIFD backend
connect to YSF rooms / reflectors when YSF is enabled and already working on your system
connect to D-Star, P25, and NXDN when those modes are enabled and already working on your system
connect to AllStarLink nodes
connect to EchoLink nodes
change supported AllStarLink, EchoLink, and private DVSwitch connections between Local Monitor and Transceive directly from the Live Status box — Connected Nodes
place an incoming AllStarLink or EchoLink connection in Local Monitor so you can still hear the remote station without sending your transmitted audio back to it
save, search, sort, and load Favorites
save a new Favorite directly from the dashboard
use manual entry
watch live status and activity
use spoken audio alerts for connects and disconnects
open the standalone AllStar View dashboard from the top navigation when AllStar View is installed on the same system

AllTune2 does not replace ASL3 or Analog_Bridge.

BrandMeister and TGIF now use AllTune2-native backends:

BMTD for BrandMeister
TGIFD for TGIF

These two paths do not use STFU, HBLink, MMDVM_Bridge, MMDVM_Bridge.ini, or the old DVSwitch DMR sections for their network connection.

YSF, D-Star, P25, and NXDN are different. Those modes still depend on your normal DVSwitch / MMDVM_Bridge setup already working before AllTune2 controls them.

AllTune2 dark mode dashboard with multi-network control, Live Status, Favorites, and connected-node tools.

AllTune2 light mode dashboard with the Light/Dark switch, blue/white theme, Favorites, and connected-node tools.

🆕 RECENT UI AND CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS

Recent versions added several important improvements:

redesigned Control Center layout
cleaner top navigation buttons
optional AllStar View navigation button on Dashboard and Favorites that appears only when the standalone AllStar View application is installed
dashboard Save Favorite button
Save Favorite popup for manual entries
existing Favorite detection by target + mode
redesigned Saved Favorites for desktop and cellphone use, with search, sorting, clearer rows, and faster loading
Live Status box — Connected Nodes cards with quick Favorite and connection controls
Disconnect DVSwitch button in Live Status
clickable Transceive / Local Monitor controls in the Live Status box — Connected Nodes for supported AllStarLink, EchoLink, and private DVSwitch connections
incoming AllStarLink and EchoLink connections can be placed in Local Monitor on your node so you can still hear the remote station without sending your transmitted audio back to it
spoken connect/disconnect alerts for managed modes
Apache security hardening from the installer
optional web login for public or shared dashboards
View Only mode when logged out
disabled Control Center, Favorites actions, and Live Status disconnect buttons while logged out
friendlier Live Status labels using Saved Favorites and local AllStarLink description data when available
compact connected-node Favorite star for saving or editing AllStarLink and EchoLink nodes directly from Live Status
confirmed AllStarLink and EchoLink mode changes automatically update the Control Center with the correct network, node, and Link Mode
expanded EchoLink safeguards for dashboard-initiated links, incoming callers, mode changes, disconnect timeouts, and safe module reset handling
unsafe outbound EchoLink mode changes are blocked while another EchoLink connection is active so the other connection is not interrupted
managed-network switching with Disconnect Before Connect no longer removes unrelated AllStarLink or EchoLink connections
Disconnect Before Connect now uses EchoLink’s protected disconnect timing and cleanup instead of the faster AllStarLink disconnect path
improved Favorites page with sortable columns, row-click editing, visible Edit buttons, and per-row Remove buttons
Favorites page now preserves the active sort when editing, saving, or removing entries
improved update lightning bolt that flashes when a newer GitHub version is available
hardened Apache access-log filter setup so updates safely handle combined AllTune2 + DVSwitch Cockpit polling filters
native BMTD backend for BrandMeister, replacing the older STFU path
native TGIFD backend for TGIF, replacing the older HBLink sidecar path
cleaner BMTD/TGIFD logging under the AllTune2 logs/ directory
local BMTD/TGIFD config protection so live node credentials are not committed
AMD64 (x86_64) backend support for BMTD and TGIFD, while keeping the existing ARM/aarch64 path

The dashboard is designed so you can pick a network, enter or load a target, choose Local Monitor or Transceive, and press Connect.

⚠️ BEFORE YOU INSTALL

You must already have a working ASL3 / radio node foundation.

You need:

Working AllStarLink 3
Analog_Bridge installed and working for the audio path
Apache and PHP available for the web dashboard
A private audio node value you normally use for DVSwitch-style audio linking

BrandMeister and TGIF

BrandMeister and TGIF no longer use the old MMDVM_Bridge-based DMR paths.

For BrandMeister, AllTune2 uses:

/var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/config/bmtd.ini

For TGIF, AllTune2 uses:

/var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/config/tgifd.ini

These files are created from safe example files if they do not already exist.

AllTune2 uses architecture-matched backend binaries for BrandMeister and TGIF:

ARM/aarch64 systems use bmtd/bin/bmtd and tgif/bin/tgifd
AMD64/x86_64 systems use bmtd/bin/bmtdamd and tgif/bin/tgifdamd

Both architectures use the same live config files shown above. Separate AMD config files are not needed.

BrandMeister and TGIF do not require:

STFU
HBLink
MMDVM_Bridge
MMDVM_Bridge.ini
the old BrandMeister/TGIF settings inside /opt/MMDVM_Bridge/DVSwitch.ini

They still use the local Analog_Bridge / TLV audio path.

YSF, D-Star, P25, and NXDN

YSF, D-Star, P25, and NXDN are separate from the new BMTD/TGIFD paths.

Those modes should already be working in your base DVSwitch / MMDVM_Bridge setup before you enable or use them in AllTune2.

Do not change the working [General] Id in:

/opt/MMDVM_Bridge/MMDVM_Bridge.ini

just because BMTD and TGIFD no longer use MMDVM_Bridge.

On many DVSwitch systems, the MMDVM_Bridge ID is a hotspot/bridge ID, often the base DMR ID with an added suffix or +1. If YSF, D-Star, P25, NXDN, or other MMDVM_Bridge-backed modes are already working, leave the existing Id alone.

If your base node is broken, fix that first. AllTune2 is a control panel, not a repair tool for a broken ASL3 / DVSwitch install.

📥 INSTALL FIRST TIME

Use this only for a brand-new install:

cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/TerryClaiborne/alltune2.git alltune2
cd alltune2
sudo ./setup_alltune2.sh

The installer may take a little while during dependency checks, especially on slower hardware such as a Raspberry Pi 3. Wait for the final setup summary before assuming it is stuck.

What setup does

The setup script helps with:

permissions
sudoers rules
config examples
preserving existing local config files
architecture detection for BMTD/TGIFD backend binaries
helper permissions
log rotation
Apache security hardening
BMTD runtime checks
TGIFD runtime checks

The setup script preserves your local config files when they already exist.

A brand-new install may still need you to review and edit:

/var/www/html/alltune2/config.ini
/var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/config/bmtd.ini
/var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/config/tgifd.ini

INI spacing note: AllTune2 accepts normal INI spacing with or without spaces around =.

For example, these are both valid:

MYNODE=12345
MYNODE = 12345

Do not add spaces inside embedded option values such as:

options=StartRef=9990;RelinkTime=60

Those values should stay in that compact form.

🔁 UPDATE / REINSTALL / REBOOT

Normal code update

For most updates:

cd /var/www/html/alltune2
git pull origin main

Update that needs setup

Run setup after pulling when the update includes installer, permissions, sudoers, Apache security, BMTD, TGIFD, or other system-level changes:

cd /var/www/html/alltune2
git pull origin main
sudo ./setup_alltune2.sh

Important for existing users: After updates that include BMTD/TGIFD backend binary, helper, installer, or permission changes, run sudo ./setup_alltune2.sh after pulling. Setup detects the system architecture, checks the matching ARM or AMD64 backend binaries, applies permissions, and reruns the installer self-checks.

Note for existing users: If git status shows M data/favorites.txt after updating, that is normal on a configured node. It only means your saved Favorites are different from the default file. Do not commit your personal data/favorites.txt; just run git pull origin main and sudo ./setup_alltune2.sh as usual.

Updating from older STFU / HBLink releases

AllTune2 now uses:

BMTD for BrandMeister
TGIFD for TGIF

When updating from an older AllTune2 release that used STFU for BrandMeister or HBLink for TGIF, run setup after pulling:

cd /var/www/html/alltune2
git pull origin main
sudo ./setup_alltune2.sh

The installer creates BMTD/TGIFD starter configs if they are missing and preserves existing live configs when they already exist.

Reboot when needed

A reboot is recommended after updates that affect long-running runtime pieces such as Analog_Bridge, MMDVM_Bridge, YSF/D-Star/P25/NXDN services, or system service behavior.

Do not assume every update needs setup. Many updates only need git pull.

✏️ FILES YOU MUST REVIEW

1. Main config

Edit:

/var/www/html/alltune2/config.ini

Example:

MYNODE="YOUR NODE"
DVSWITCH_NODE="YOUR PRIVATE AUDIO NODE"
DSTAR_ENABLED=0
P25_ENABLED=0
NXDN_ENABLED=0
ALLTUNE2_AUTH_ENABLED=0
ALLTUNE2_ADMIN_USER="admin"
ALLTUNE2_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH=""

Main config values

MYNODE
Your main AllStar node number.

DVSWITCH_NODE
Your private audio node used for Local Monitor / Transceive linking. Many systems use 1999, 1998, or another local private node. Use whatever your system is actually configured to use.

DSTAR_ENABLED
Set to 1 only if D-Star already works on your ASL3 / DVSwitch / MMDVM_Bridge system.

P25_ENABLED and NXDN_ENABLED
Set these to 1 only if those modes already work on your ASL3 / DVSwitch / MMDVM_Bridge system.

Leave optional modes disabled if you do not use them:

DSTAR_ENABLED=0
P25_ENABLED=0
NXDN_ENABLED=0

ALLTUNE2_AUTH_ENABLED
Controls the optional AllTune2 web login.

Use:

ALLTUNE2_AUTH_ENABLED=0

to keep AllTune2 in normal no-login mode.

Use:

ALLTUNE2_AUTH_ENABLED=1

to require login before users can control the node.

ALLTUNE2_ADMIN_USER
The single web login username. AllTune2 currently uses one admin account.

Default:

ALLTUNE2_ADMIN_USER="admin"

ALLTUNE2_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH
The saved password hash for the AllTune2 web login.

Do not type a plain password here.

Normal users should create or change this hash with:

sudo /var/www/html/alltune2/setup_alltune2.sh --set-admin-password

The setup script creates the hash automatically. The plain password is not stored.

🔐 OPTIONAL WEB LOGIN

AllTune2 can run with or without web login.

No Login / Normal mode

When this is set:

ALLTUNE2_AUTH_ENABLED=0

AllTune2 works like the normal dashboard. Controls are available without signing in.

View Only mode

When web login is enabled and you are logged out, AllTune2 shows View Only behavior.

In View Only mode:

the dashboard still loads
live status still loads
saved Favorites are visible
the Control Center is disabled
Dashboard Favorites are view-only
Live Status disconnect buttons are disabled
Favorites page add/edit/remove actions require login
connect, disconnect, DTMF, and save actions are blocked

Login / Sign In

Click Login and enter the single admin password.

After signing in, the Control Center, Favorites actions, DTMF, connect, and disconnect controls are available.

Logout

Click Logout to return AllTune2 to View Only mode.

Set or change the web login password

Run:

sudo /var/www/html/alltune2/setup_alltune2.sh --set-admin-password

This asks for a new admin password, creates the password hash automatically, stores the hash in config.ini, and enables web login.

Disable web login

Run:

sudo /var/www/html/alltune2/setup_alltune2.sh --disable-auth

This sets:

ALLTUNE2_AUTH_ENABLED=0

The existing password hash is kept, so login can be re-enabled later without creating a new password.

Normal setup/update does not ask for a password and does not change the saved web login settings.

🔵 BRANDMEISTER / BMTD CONFIG

AllTune2 uses BMTD for BrandMeister.

BMTD replaces the older STFU BrandMeister path. BMTD does not use STFU, MMDVM_Bridge, MMDVM_Bridge.ini, or the old BrandMeister settings in /opt/MMDVM_Bridge/DVSwitch.ini.

Edit:

/var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/config/bmtd.ini

The example file is:

/var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/config/bmtd.ini.example

Existing bmtd.ini files are preserved on updates.

BMTD uses an architecture-matched backend binary:

ARM/aarch64 systems use /var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/bin/bmtd
AMD64/x86_64 systems use /var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/bin/bmtdamd

Both architectures use the same live bmtd.ini file.

Important

The full bmtd.ini file contains required settings that BMTD needs to run. Do not remove sections or change unrelated values unless you know exactly what they do.

For normal setup, only edit the station-specific values below.

Values you normally need to edit

[brandmeister]
host=3104.repeater.net
port=54006
password=YOUR_BRANDMEISTER_HOTSPOT_PASSWORD

[identity]
dmr_id=YOUR_DMR_ID
hotspot_radio_id=YOUR_BRANDMEISTER_HOTSPOT_ID
callsign=YOUR_CALLSIGN

[private_node]
mynode="YOUR_ALLSTAR_NODE"
private_node="YOUR_DVSWITCH_NODE"
autoload_mode=transceive

Field notes

host
The BrandMeister master to connect to.

Default example:

host=3104.repeater.net

port
The BrandMeister Rewind port.

Default example:

port=54006

password
Your BrandMeister Hotspot Security password / SelfCare password for this connection.

dmr_id
Your gateway/base DMR ID.

hotspot_radio_id
Your BrandMeister hotspot/radio ID for this BMTD bridge.

This is the hotspot ID BrandMeister expects for the AllTune2 BrandMeister connection.

Example:

Base DMR ID:         3220008
BM hotspot ID:       322000811
hotspot_radio_id:    322000811

Do not use the TGIFD hotspot_radio_id value unless it is also the correct BrandMeister hotspot ID for your setup.

For many AllTune2 systems:

BrandMeister hotspot_radio_id = BrandMeister hotspot ID
TGIFD hotspot_radio_id        = BrandMeister hotspot ID plus 1

Example:

Base DMR ID:                 3220008
BrandMeister hotspot ID:     322000811
TGIFD hotspot ID:            322000812

callsign
Your HAM callsign.

mynode
Your main AllStar node number. This should match MYNODE in config.ini.

private_node
Your private audio node. This should match DVSWITCH_NODE in config.ini.

autoload_mode
Typical value:

autoload_mode=transceive

BMTD TLV audio ports

The example config uses the AllTune2 Analog_Bridge / TLV audio port pair:

[tlv]
rx_port=31103
tx_host=127.0.0.1
tx_port=31100

Do not change these unless your Analog_Bridge audio ports are intentionally different.

BMTD startup talkgroup

The example config uses:

startup_tg=0

Normal dashboard use connects to the talkgroup you enter or select from Favorites. You normally do not need to set a fixed startup talkgroup.

🟢 TGIF / TGIFD CONFIG

AllTune2 uses TGIFD for TGIF.

TGIFD replaces the older TGIF/HBLink sidecar path. TGIFD does not use HBLink, MMDVM_Bridge, MMDVM_Bridge.ini, or the old TGIF/HBLink MMDVM profile.

Edit:

/var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/config/tgifd.ini

The example file is:

/var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/config/tgifd.ini.example

Existing tgifd.ini files are preserved on updates.

TGIFD uses an architecture-matched backend binary:

ARM/aarch64 systems use /var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/bin/tgifd
AMD64/x86_64 systems use /var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/bin/tgifdamd

Both architectures use the same live tgifd.ini file.

Important

The full tgifd.ini file contains required settings that TGIFD needs to run. Do not remove sections or change unrelated values unless you know exactly what they do.

For normal setup, only edit the station-specific values below.

Values you normally need to edit

[identity]
callsign=YOURCALL
dmr_id=YOUR_GATEWAY_DMR_ID
hotspot_radio_id=YOUR_HOTSPOT_ID_PLUS_1

[tgif]
security_key="YOUR_TGIF_SECURITY_KEY"
startup_tg=9990
options=StartRef=9990;RelinkTime=60

[private_node]
mynode="YOUR_ALLSTAR_NODE"
private_node="YOUR_DVSWITCH_NODE"
autoload_mode=transceive

Field notes

callsign
Your HAM callsign.

dmr_id
Your gateway/base DMR ID.

hotspot_radio_id
Your TGIF hotspot/radio ID for this bridge. For the AllTune2 TGIFD path, this is usually your hotspot ID plus 1.

Example:

Hotspot ID:       330000811
hotspot_radio_id: 330000812

security_key
Your TGIF Hotspot Security Key. This is not your TGIF website login password.

startup_tg and options
The TGIF talkgroup TGIFD should start on when launched directly.

Example for TG 9990:

startup_tg=9990
options=StartRef=9990;RelinkTime=60

Example for TG 9050:

startup_tg=9050
options=StartRef=9050;RelinkTime=60

mynode
Your main AllStar node number. This should match MYNODE in config.ini.

private_node
Your private audio node. This should match DVSWITCH_NODE in config.ini.

autoload_mode
Typical value:

autoload_mode=transceive

TGIFD TLV audio ports

The example config uses the AllTune2 Analog_Bridge / TLV audio port pair:

[tlv]
rx_port=31103
tx_host=127.0.0.1
tx_port=31100
inbound_slot=2

Keep:

inbound_slot=2

for the AllTune2 TGIFD audio path.

TGIFD `[mmdvm]` note

tgifd.ini contains a small [mmdvm] section for TGIFD metadata.

That section does not mean TGIFD depends on MMDVM_Bridge.ini or a running MMDVM_Bridge process.

Keep:

[mmdvm]
slots=2

for the AllTune2 / TLV audio path.

🟠 OPTIONAL YSF / D-STAR / P25 / NXDN

YSF, D-Star, P25, and NXDN are optional.

Enable them in AllTune2 only if they already work in your base DVSwitch / MMDVM_Bridge setup.

DSTAR_ENABLED=1
P25_ENABLED=1
NXDN_ENABLED=1

If a mode is disabled or not configured, it will not be available in the main dropdown or Favorites. Its Live Status box may still appear, but it will stay idle.

AllTune2 does not create your D-Star registration, P25 setup, NXDN setup, reflector setup, or base MMDVM_Bridge mode configuration. It controls those modes after your base system is already working.

🚫 DO NOT EDIT THESE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHY

These files belong to the underlying system:

/opt/Analog_Bridge/Analog_Bridge.ini
/opt/MMDVM_Bridge/DVSwitch.ini
/opt/MMDVM_Bridge/MMDVM_Bridge.ini

Important distinction:

BrandMeister/BMTD and TGIF/TGIFD use their own AllTune2 config files.
YSF, D-Star, P25, and NXDN still depend on your normal DVSwitch / MMDVM_Bridge configuration.

If those underlying files are wrong for the modes that use them, AllTune2 may not work correctly.

🌐 OPEN ALLTUNE2 IN YOUR BROWSER

Example:

http://192.168.1.120/alltune2/public/

The full path also works:

http://192.168.1.120/alltune2/public/index.php

Replace 192.168.1.120 with your node IP address or hostname.

Outside access and HTTPS

For outside access, the safest recommendation is still Tailscale, a VPN, or another private tunnel you control.

If you want public browser access, use a real hostname or DDNS name with a trusted HTTPS certificate.

Example:

https://your-ddns-name/alltune2/public/

A DDNS name alone does not create trusted HTTPS. Apache still needs a trusted certificate for that hostname, such as a Let’s Encrypt certificate.

A common Let’s Encrypt / Certbot path is:

sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-apache
sudo certbot --apache -d your-ddns-name
sudo certbot renew --dry-run

A self-signed or snakeoil certificate can still protect the connection technically, but browsers will show a warning.

Raw public IP HTTPS is not recommended for normal users because browser-trusted certificates are normally issued for hostnames, not plain IP addresses.

If you expose AllTune2 through public 80/443, keep web login enabled.

🖥️ HOW TO USE ALLTUNE2

Basic use:

choose the network or mode
choose Local Monitor or Transceive if needed
enter a target or choose a Favorite
press Connect
watch Live Status and Activity
press Disconnect, Disconnect DVSwitch, or Disconnect All when needed

Control Center

The Control Center is where you select the network, target, and Link Mode.

The Link Mode dropdown controls how the private audio node is linked:

Local Monitor for monitoring/listening use
Transceive for normal radio-side transmit/receive use

AllTune2 re-applies the selected Link Mode when changing between supported managed modes, so you should not normally have to press Disconnect DVSwitch just to change Local Monitor / Transceive.

In the Live Status box — Connected Nodes, click the displayed Transceive or Local Monitor label on an eligible AllStarLink, EchoLink, or private DVSwitch connection to change that connection directly. After an AllStarLink or EchoLink mode change is confirmed, the Control Center follows the selected network, node, and Link Mode.

Incoming AllStarLink and EchoLink connections can also be placed in Local Monitor on your node. You continue to hear the remote station, but your transmitted audio is not sent back across that link until you switch it to Transceive.

Raw IAX channels, Web Transceiver connections, and named app_rpt/IAX clients do not use this mode control.

If web login is enabled and you are logged out, the Control Center is disabled until you sign in.

🔵 BRANDMEISTER

Use BrandMeister for BM talkgroups.

BrandMeister uses the AllTune2 BMTD backend.

Typical workflow:

choose BrandMeister
enter a talkgroup or choose a BM Favorite
press Connect
wait for status to show the connection

To change BM talkgroups:

enter a new talkgroup or choose another BM Favorite
press Connect again
BrandMeister private calls are supported by entering the DMR ID with one trailing #

🟢 TGIF

Use TGIF for TGIF talkgroups.

TGIF uses the AllTune2 TGIFD backend.

Typical workflow:

choose TGIF
enter a talkgroup or choose a TGIF Favorite
press Connect
wait for the TGIF path to come up

To change TGIF talkgroups:

enter a new talkgroup or choose another TGIF Favorite
press Connect again

🟡 YSF

Use YSF for YSF rooms / reflectors when YSF is already working on your base system.

Typical workflow:

choose YSF
enter the YSF target or choose a YSF Favorite
press Connect
watch Live Status

🟠 D-STAR

Use D-Star for D-Star reflectors when D-Star is enabled and working on your system.

Typical workflow:

make sure DSTAR_ENABLED=1 is set in config.ini
choose D-Star
enter the D-Star target or choose a D-Star Favorite
press Connect
watch Live Status

🟤 P25

Use P25 when P25 is enabled and working on your system.

Typical workflow:

make sure P25_ENABLED=1 is set in config.ini
choose P25
enter the P25 target or choose a P25 Favorite
press Connect
watch Live Status

⚫ NXDN

Use NXDN when NXDN is enabled and working on your system.

Typical workflow:

make sure NXDN_ENABLED=1 is set in config.ini
choose NXDN
enter the NXDN target or choose a NXDN Favorite
press Connect
watch Live Status

🔴 ALLSTARLINK

Use AllStarLink for direct AllStar node connections.

Typical workflow:

choose AllStarLink
enter the node number or choose an AllStarLink Favorite
press Connect
watch Live Status
disconnect when done

Additional direct AllStarLink nodes can be connected.

To change a connected AllStarLink node between Transceive and Local Monitor, click the mode shown for that node in the Live Status box — Connected Nodes. This also works for incoming AllStarLink connections and changes only your side of the link.

🟣 ECHOLINK

Use EchoLink for EchoLink node connections.

Typical workflow:

choose EchoLink
enter the mapped EchoLink node number or choose an EchoLink Favorite
press Connect
watch Live Status
disconnect when done

EchoLink uses the AllStarLink connect path. Enter the mapped EchoLink target as 3 plus the 6-digit EchoLink node number.

Example:

AllTune2 allows one active dashboard-initiated EchoLink direct link at a time. This is intentional. Testing showed that stacking multiple outbound EchoLink links can cause ASL3/app_rpt/Asterisk to become unstable. Normal incoming EchoLink connections are not limited by this dashboard-initiated outbound rule, and normal AllStarLink direct nodes can still be stacked.

To change an eligible connected EchoLink node between Transceive and Local Monitor, click the mode shown for that node in the Live Status box — Connected Nodes. Incoming EchoLink connections can be changed on your side without changing the remote station. An outbound mode change may be blocked while another EchoLink connection is active so AllTune2 does not interrupt the other connection or reset EchoLink unsafely.

⭐ FAVORITES

Favorites save time.

The dashboard Saved Favorites list is optimized for desktop and cellphone use. It includes search, multiple sort choices, and faster loading that no longer waits for the slower Live Status check.

Favorites can be used for:

BM talkgroups
TGIF talkgroups
YSF targets
D-Star targets
P25 targets
NXDN targets
AllStarLink nodes
EchoLink nodes

Loading a Favorite

click or choose the Favorite
AllTune2 fills in the target and mode
press Connect

Saving a Favorite from the dashboard

The dashboard includes a Save Favorite button.

Use it when you manually type a target and want to save it.

If the same target and mode already exist, AllTune2 shows that it found an existing Favorite and lets you update it instead of creating a duplicate.

When web login is enabled and you are logged out, Favorites are visible but view-only. Clicking a dashboard Favorite does not load it into the Control Center until you sign in.

Connected-node Favorite star

When an AllStarLink or EchoLink node is connected, AllTune2 shows a small star beside the connected node number in Live Status.

☆ means the connected node is not currently saved as a Favorite. Click it to add that connected node to Favorites.
★ means the connected node already matches a saved Favorite. Click it to edit that saved Favorite.

This is a quick way to save or update AllStarLink and EchoLink Favorites directly from the connected-node display.

Favorites file

Your live Favorites file is local user data:

/var/www/html/alltune2/data/favorites.txt

This file is local user data and should not be committed with your personal changes.

A neutral example file is included for reference:

/var/www/html/alltune2/data/favorites.example.txt

Do not commit your live favorites.txt.

📝 MANUAL ENTRY

Manual entry is useful when:

you are testing a target
you are trying something once
you do not want to save it yet

Enter the target, choose the mode, then press Connect.

📊 LIVE STATUS AND ACTIVITY

Live Status helps show:

current network / mode
active target
private audio node link state
AllStarLink / EchoLink connected nodes
keyed or active rows when activity is detected
D-Star, P25, and NXDN status when configured
BMTD and TGIFD backend status when BrandMeister or TGIF is active

The Disconnect DVSwitch button removes the private audio node link without doing a full Asterisk restart.

In the Live Status box — Connected Nodes, eligible AllStarLink, EchoLink, and private DVSwitch rows show a clickable Transceive or Local Monitor label. Click it to change the local link mode. An incoming AllStarLink or EchoLink connection can be placed in Local Monitor so you can still hear the remote station without sending your transmitted audio back across that link.

Raw IAX channels, Web Transceiver connections, and named app_rpt/IAX clients do not receive this mode control.

Connected AllStarLink and EchoLink nodes include a small Favorite star. Use ☆ to add the connected node to Favorites or ★ to edit the matching saved Favorite.

The Disconnect All button performs a full reset and restarts Asterisk.

When web login is enabled and you are logged out, Live Status remains visible but its disconnect buttons are disabled.

🔊 AUDIO ALERTS

Audio alerts can announce connects and disconnects.

They can be helpful when monitoring node activity without staring at the screen.

Recent updates improved connect/disconnect alerts for managed digital modes.

🔐 SECURITY HARDENING

The setup script installs Apache protection for sensitive AllTune2 files and folders.

This helps block direct browser access to local config, git, helper, runtime, log, and data files while still allowing the public dashboard and API to work.

This is handled by the installer when Apache is available.

Recent security work also added optional web login, hardened session handling, CSRF protection for write actions, and API guards for control actions.

The installer also protects the local tools/ directory from direct browser access.

🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING BASICS

If audio on any mode becomes choppy, stutters, breaks up, or stops

Try restarting Analog_Bridge:

sudo systemctl restart analog_bridge

If BrandMeister does not connect

Check:

/var/www/html/alltune2/config.ini
/var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/config/bmtd.ini
/var/www/html/alltune2/logs/bmtd.log

Check BMTD helper status:

sudo /var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/alltune2-bmtd-helper.sh status

Confirm your BMTD identity and BrandMeister values are correct:

[brandmeister]
host=3104.repeater.net
port=54006
password=YOUR_BRANDMEISTER_HOTSPOT_PASSWORD

[identity]
dmr_id=YOUR_DMR_ID
hotspot_radio_id=YOUR_BRANDMEISTER_HOTSPOT_ID
callsign=YOUR_CALLSIGN

If TGIF does not connect

Check:

/var/www/html/alltune2/config.ini
/var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/config/tgifd.ini
/var/www/html/alltune2/logs/tgifd.log

Check TGIFD helper status:

sudo /var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/alltune2-tgifd-helper.sh status

Confirm your TGIFD identity values are correct:

callsign=YOURCALL
dmr_id=YOUR_GATEWAY_DMR_ID
hotspot_radio_id=YOUR_HOTSPOT_ID_PLUS_1
security_key=YOUR_TGIF_SECURITY_KEY

The hotspot_radio_id is usually your hotspot ID plus 1.

If TGIF connects but inbound audio is unreliable

Check that this line exists under [tlv] in:

/var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/config/tgifd.ini

Required value:

inbound_slot=2

If YSF, D-Star, P25, or NXDN does not show up

Check:

the mode is enabled in config.ini
your real MYNODE and DVSWITCH_NODE are set
/opt/MMDVM_Bridge/dvswitch.sh exists
the mode already works in the underlying DVSwitch / MMDVM_Bridge setup

If web login does not work

Check the auth settings:

grep -nE 'ALLTUNE2_AUTH_ENABLED|ALLTUNE2_ADMIN_USER|ALLTUNE2_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH' /var/www/html/alltune2/config.ini

To set or change the web login password:

sudo /var/www/html/alltune2/setup_alltune2.sh --set-admin-password

To disable web login:

sudo /var/www/html/alltune2/setup_alltune2.sh --disable-auth

If HTTPS shows a certificate warning

Make sure you are browsing to the same hostname used by the certificate.

For example, if your AllTune2 address is:

https://my-node.ddns.net/alltune2/public/

then the hostname is:

my-node.ddns.net

Check the certificate with openssl.

For the example above, you would run:

openssl s_client -connect my-node.ddns.net:443 -servername my-node.ddns.net </dev/null 2>/dev/null \
  | openssl x509 -noout -subject -issuer -dates -ext subjectAltName

What you want to see is something like:

subject=CN=my-node.ddns.net
issuer=Let's Encrypt
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
    DNS:my-node.ddns.net

If the certificate says node.local, node.example.local, or snakeoil, Apache is still serving a self-signed certificate and the browser will show a warning.

If the certificate says your router brand name, your router is probably answering ports 80/443 instead of forwarding them to the node.

Use a DDNS/domain hostname with a trusted certificate, or use Tailscale/VPN.

If an update behaves strangely

For code-only updates, git pull is usually enough.

If setup, permissions, sudoers, Apache security, BMTD, TGIFD, backend binaries, or runtime helpers changed, run:

cd /var/www/html/alltune2
sudo ./setup_alltune2.sh

🧠 SIMPLE RULES

Edit these:

/var/www/html/alltune2/config.ini
/var/www/html/alltune2/bmtd/config/bmtd.ini
/var/www/html/alltune2/tgif/config/tgifd.ini

Review these if BrandMeister or TGIF needs troubleshooting:

/var/www/html/alltune2/logs/bmtd.log
/var/www/html/alltune2/logs/tgifd.log

Leave these alone unless you know why:

/opt/Analog_Bridge/Analog_Bridge.ini
/opt/MMDVM_Bridge/DVSwitch.ini
/opt/MMDVM_Bridge/MMDVM_Bridge.ini

Remember:

AllTune2 allows one active dashboard-initiated outbound EchoLink direct link at a time; normal incoming EchoLink connections are not limited by this rule
direct AllStarLink nodes can still be stacked normally
use the clickable Transceive / Local Monitor label in the Live Status box — Connected Nodes to change an eligible AllStarLink, EchoLink, or private DVSwitch connection
an outbound EchoLink mode change may be blocked while another EchoLink connection is active so the other connection is protected
use the connected-node ☆ / ★ star to add or edit AllStarLink and EchoLink Favorites
do not guess values
do not paste passwords publicly
do not commit config.ini
do not commit data/favorites.txt
do not commit bmtd/config/bmtd.ini
do not commit tgif/config/tgifd.ini
BMTD uses the architecture-selected backend binary: bmtd/bin/bmtd on ARM/aarch64 or bmtd/bin/bmtdamd on AMD64/x86_64
TGIFD uses the architecture-selected backend binary: tgif/bin/tgifd on ARM/aarch64 or tgif/bin/tgifdamd on AMD64/x86_64
do not commit old local build folders
do not assume every update needs setup
use --set-admin-password to change the web login password
use --disable-auth to turn web login off
keep web login enabled if AllTune2 is exposed through public 80/443
prefer Tailscale/VPN for outside access
use DDNS/domain plus trusted HTTPS for public browser access
enable YSF, D-Star, P25, or NXDN only when those modes already work on your base system
keep TGIFD [tlv] inbound_slot=2 in tgifd.ini
set hotspot_radio_id correctly for your BMTD BrandMeister identity
set hotspot_radio_id correctly for your TGIFD identity
configure BrandMeister credentials in bmtd/config/bmtd.ini
configure TGIF credentials in tgif/config/tgifd.ini
