The PiGate system is the complete OS image, not a single software program.? It consists of the integration of several software packages that already exist in the Raspberry Pi OS along with some PHP programs for the web interface and some custom shell scripts for the administration interface. The receiving and sending of email through the Winlink system can be done without the administration interface.? My system here at home runs 24/7, sending and receiving email through Winlink, and I rarely access the admin interface.? In fact, everything could be done from the command line if you knew the Linux commands to get stuff done.? I developed the admin interface to make it easier for hams without extensive knowledge of Linux to use the device.? Once I go through the initial setup, all I use is an email app on my smart phone which sends an email to the PiGate, which in turn sends it through Winlink to the destination.? Incoming email is the reverse.? It's like me sending this email to you, once I press send, it all happens in the background and it just works. The integration is kinda tricky and can't be done without manually adding the correct software packages and making changes to configuration files and things like that.? So if I want update the OS or the kernel, I need to rebuild the whole thing again.? Kinda a pain in the rear, but I can't think of another way. Once you download the image and put it on an SD card, you have all the
special PHP and shell scripts that can be viewed so it's really open
source. So the short answer is it can't be done using GitHub. Mark KD0QYN

Have you looked into GitHub?? As long as it's open source, it's free. Same with SourceForge
