I just wanted to make a quick post that I'm nearly complete with the total refactor of the API using Python as the backend! I'm really excited about the overall progress and how quickly the project is coming together.
I've just completed the ingesting of German callsigns and was able to locate Austrian callsign information thanks to the help from OE5JFE & OE6PGM who helped point me at a PDF (https://www.fb.gv.at/dam/jcr:7a8aeec6-bbf2-4d7d-ab3b-5335ebc7b8ed/Rufzeichenliste_AT_Stand_010725.pdf). I just finished the parser to convert the PDF into a reliable csv that can be quickly imported into the database.
As I've been developing the refactor, I've been using docker for all testing on a separate linux environment so I've also been able to keep the docker/docker-compose process tidy and manageable to ensure self-hosted instances should be fairly painless.
With Christmas quickly approaching, and me being a single father to an amazing six year old daughter, I'm going to be hitting the breaks until the week after Christmas but I'm really close on getting this release ready - that is to say, I still suspect to have everything up on github by the New Year!
