If enabled, metrics will be automatically detected and created based on the decoded payload. The key will be set, but the name is left blank for the user to configure. This can be confusing as it leads to validation errors in the device-profile form if the name is not filled in. The UI does show that one of the fields failed to validate, but even with such notification, it is not clear that users have to check one of the form tabs which they didn't edit on save. This makes the name optional and uses the key as fallback such that saving the form no longer fails in case the name is still blank. Closes #313.

Documentation and binaries
Please refer to the ChirpStack website for documentation and pre-compiled binaries.
Building from source
Requirements
Building ChirpStack requires:
Nix
Nix is used for setting up the development environment which is used for local development and for creating the binaries.
If you do not have Nix installed and do not wish to install it, then you can use the provided Docker Compose based Nix environment. To start this environment execute the following command:
make docker-devshell
Note: You will be able to run the test commands and run cargo build, but
cross-compiling will not work within this environment (because it would try start
Docker within Docker).
Docker
Docker is used by cross-rs for cross-compiling,
as well as some of the make commands.
Starting the development shell
Run the following command to start the development shell:
nix-shell
Or if you do not have Nix installed, execute the following command:
make docker-devshell
Building the UI
To build the ChirpStack UI, execute the following command:
make build-ui
Running ChirpStack tests
Start required services
ChirpStack requires several services like PostgresQL, Redis, Mosquitto, ...
to be running before you can run the tests. You need to start these services
manually if you started the development shell using nix-shell:
docker-compose up -d
Run tests
Run the following command to run the ChirpStack tests:
make test
Building ChirpStack binaries
Before compiling the binaries, you need to install some additional development tools (for cross-compiling, packaging, e.d.). Execute the following command:
make dev-dependencies
Run the following command within the ./chirpstack sub-folder:
# Build AMD64 debug build (optimized for build speed)
make debug-amd64
# Build AMD64 release build (optimized for performance and binary size)
make release-amd64
# Build all packages (all targets, .deb, .rpm and .tar.gz files)
make dist
