mototrbo

A Go service that sits next to MOTOTRBO MNIS on a Windows host and exposes its messaging surface to LAN clients over gRPC + REST, with mTLS auth and an optional ntfy.sh bridge for inbound TMS push notifications.

See docs/PLAN.md for the design and milestone plan.

Configuration

Both mototrbod and mototrboctl load configuration through internal/pkg/cfgloader, a thin wrapper around viper. Precedence is flags > env > file > defaults.

• Format: TOML
• Search path:
  • Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%\mototrbo (this is the only location reachable when running under the SCM and is where the MSI drops mototrbod.toml)
  • Linux/macOS: current directory, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mototrbo (or ~/.config/mototrbo), then /etc/mototrbo
• Env prefix: MOTOTRBO_, dotted keys mapped to underscores (e.g. tls.cert → MOTOTRBO_TLS_CERT)
• Explicit file: pass --config /path/to/file.toml to bypass the search path

Starter configs live in configs/:

• configs/mototrbod.toml.example
• configs/mototrboctl.toml.example

Windows installer

A WiX v4 source for an MSI lives at installer/windows/mototrbod.wxs. The MSI installs to C:\Program Files\mototrbo\, drops a default mototrbod.toml and data\ / logs\ directories under C:\ProgramData\mototrbo\, and registers mototrbod as a LocalSystem auto-start Windows service that is started on install and removed on uninstall.

Building the MSI locally

CI does not produce Windows artifacts; build the MSI on a Windows host with PowerShell:

# one-time
dotnet tool install --global wix

# every build
pwsh scripts/build-msi.ps1 -Version 0.1.0
# -> dist\mototrbo-0.1.0-x64.msi (+ SHA256SUMS.txt)

scripts/build-binaries.ps1 is the binaries-only shortcut if you do not need the MSI.
