Global Settings

DX Cluster

Telnet DX cluster feed shared across all operators. The connection is re-established automatically on failure.

Chat

Upload a custom sound (mp3, wav, ogg, aac, flac, m4a — max 2 MB):

Feature requests

When enabled, all logged-in users see the full list of feature requests (read-only). When disabled, each user sees only their own.

Database backups

Automatic daily backups run in the background; older files are pruned after this many days. Set to 0 to keep every backup forever.

QRZ.com lookup

When configured, callsign lookups fetch the operator's name, Maidenhead locator and profile picture from QRZ.com. Requires a QRZ.com XML data subscription.

Dummy TRXs

Simulated transceivers that appear in the TRX list and react to frequency changes — useful for testing without physical hardware. They are clearly marked (dummy) in the TRX list.

          Automatic daily backups of the Postgres database, deduplicated by content hash and pruned after the configured retention window. Manual backups are welcome any time.

        How do I restore a backup?
        
          Restore is intentionally not available from the UI — restoring wipes the current database and reloads it from the snapshot, which is a rare and dangerous operation that belongs in an SSH session with the app stopped.
          
        
          # On the server, stop the app, then feed the dump into psql:
docker compose stop noctalum
zcat /srv/docker/noctalum/backups/<file>.sql.gz | \
  docker exec -i noctalum-postgres psql -U noctalum -d noctalum
docker compose start noctalum
