aa-fleetpings

What it is and what it does

aa-fleetpings is a plugin for the Alliance Auth platform that integrates fleet ping management with Discord. It runs as a Django application and provides a web interface within Alliance Auth to compose and dispatch formatted fleet pings to Discord channels via webhooks. The package depends on allianceauth and dhooks-lite for webhook delivery, and handles the formatting, targeting, and delivery of ping messages to Discord.

The plugin lets users configure fleet types (Roaming, Home Defense, StratOP, CTA, or custom), ping targets (@everyone, @here, or custom roles), and optionally pull doctrine information from the Fittings module if installed. Administrators set up webhooks, permissions, and default settings through the Django admin interface. The package supports both bare-metal and Docker deployments of Alliance Auth.

Use it for:

• Send formatted fleet pings from Alliance Auth directly to Discord channels when organizing operations.
• Manage multiple ping targets and fleet types through a centralized web interface.
• Integrate doctrine information from the Fittings module to include ship fits in fleet ping announcements.
• Control who can send pings and to which channels via Alliance Auth's permission system.
• Deploy fleet ping functionality in Docker-based Alliance Auth installations alongside existing services.
