ArduPilot Custom Firmware Builder (EqualMass Edition)

🛠EqualMass Customization Layer (Added Feb 2026)

This repository has been customized to support a persistent, automated Patch Management System. These modifications allow for custom source code injection and regional data integration while maintaining a production-grade infrastructure on Debian 13.

📁 Modified & New Files

docker-compose.yml: Updated to include the overlay-manager sidecar service and shared volumes for persistent code injection.
builder/builder.py: Modified to detect custom source files in the /srv directory. The engine now automatically merges these overlays into the ArduPilot source tree before the Waf compiler begins the build.
web/templates/index.html: The main dashboard now features a stylized "Patch Manager" bridge button in the navigation bar to allow seamless switching between the builder and the sidecar.
overlay_manager/ (New Service):
- main.py: A FastAPI-based engine designed to manage (Upload/Edit/Delete) custom source files within the Docker environment.
- templates/index.html: A custom UI for managing patches, matching the ArduPilot ecosystem aesthetic.
- static/logo.png: Localized branding assets for the sidecar interface.

🌐 Network & Routing Architecture

The system is unified behind an Nginx Reverse Proxy to provide a professional, single-domain experience:

Main Builder UI: https://ardupilot.equalmass.com/ (Proxied to port 11080).
Patch Manager: https://ardupilot.equalmass.com/patch-manager/ (Proxied to port 11081).
SSL Termination: Managed via Nginx for the equalmass.com domain.
