remove email from json dataset

[geirkairam]

it is possible to remove the email address from the json data after you clicked "Full JSON Dataset"? I know it's not full then anymore but for privacy reason we could think about it after there is a mail form (see #6)

This one's a bit tricky. The server is exposing its CouchDB completely. So there's no way to hide an email address from the database.

The only way is to not send it to the database in the first place. The email address is added on each device via https://github.com/freifunk-berlin/firmware-packages/blob/master/utils/luci-app-owm/luasrc/owm.lua#L261. Maybe we should make this configurable? Since we'll make the switch to libremap soon, we can change it there directly: https://github.com/libremap/libremap-agent-openwrt.

I think the default should be to not submit an email address. If a user wants the address to show up, she/he can configure the submit agent to do so.

Thanks for explenation! – Can you please explain as well how the data of my router (with the email address) is submitted ATM to openwifimap.net? (Where do the data come from …? Where can I disable submitting my email address …?)

Thanks a lot! :)

The email address is added here. Thus, the address is read from /etc/config/freifunk. ATM, the easiest way to remove it from the database is to remove it from this config file...

We plan to make it configurable in the future.

By the way: feel free to file a PR for luci-app-owm! 😄 However, we'll switch to libremap soon, so it may be more efficient to implement it there directly.
