Louis King 560eb0796a feat: replace role=infra tag with adoption-based infrastructure detection
Replace the role=infra NodeTag convention with UserProfileNode adoption
as the canonical infrastructure indicator across map, Prometheus metrics,
and alerting. Renames is_infra to is_adopted, infra_center to
adopted_center. Map icons change to blue (adopted) / green (normal),
with all adoption UI gated on OIDC_ENABLED. Adds meshcore_nodes_adopted
gauge and Alembic migration to clean up obsolete tags.

Seed Data

The database can be seeded with node tags from YAML files in the SEED_HOME directory (default: ./seed).

Running the Seed Process

Seeding is a separate process and must be run explicitly:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml --profile seed up

This imports data from the following files (if they exist):

  • {SEED_HOME}/node_tags.yaml - Node tag definitions

Directory Structure

seed/                          # SEED_HOME (seed data files)
└── node_tags.yaml            # Node tags for import

data/                          # DATA_HOME (runtime data)
└── collector/
    └── meshcore.db           # SQLite database

Example seed files are provided in example/seed/.

Node Tags

Node tags allow you to attach custom metadata to nodes (e.g., location, role, owner). Tags are stored in the database and returned with node data via the API.

Node Tags YAML Format

Tags are keyed by public key in YAML format:

# Each key is a 64-character hex public key
0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef:
  name: Gateway Node
  description: Main network gateway
  lat: 37.7749
  lon: -122.4194

  name: Oakland Repeater
  elevation: 150

Tag values can be:

  • YAML primitives (auto-detected type): strings, numbers, booleans
  • Explicit type (when you need to force a specific type):
    altitude:
      value: "150"
      type: number
    

Supported types: string, number, boolean
