Any way we can get some more of the configuration options moved to the ini?
We are missing really basic configuration options like connection methods built into PyTak such as TLS, and the ability to change call signs/ APRIS hosts that tare all hard-coded into the library itself.
It's kind of a deal breaker for the library right now for me.

When start the aprscot with config containing COT URL = TCP *******, cannot start again with COT URL = UDP
i have 2 different configs one for TCP and second for UDP and start server with one of them depend on the need.
pytak is not installed on my system - cannot be installed it returns some errors which i cannot fix

when i run aprscor -c conf.ini return: and exit
the error:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

with DEBUG =1 aprscot it seams to work properly even pull the packets to the network

It is possible to use an Xastir instance as a server instead of connecting to aprs.net over the internet.

It may be possible to pass variables in the config.ini file to specify the host and port in the modified lines below:

To do this:
Run Xastir, with the "Enable Server Ports" function enabled under the Interface menu.
Setup your interfaces in Xastir to use local RF - there are many ways to do this, Direwolf and an audio feed from a transceiver or SDR for example.

modify constants.py, changing the following lines:

#DEFAULT_APRSIS_PORT: int = 14580
#DEFAULT_APRSIS_HOST: str = "rotate.aprs.net"
DEFAULT_APRSIS_PORT: int = 2023
DEFAULT_APRSIS_HOST: str = "localhost"

The above assumes that aprscot is running on the same machine as Xastir.
aprscot will now connect to the local Xastir instance instead of aprs.net servers.

Using fresh Ubuntu 20.04 image along with the Debian/Ubuntu packages or the PIP install or even building from source with fresh images each time getting the following when trying to run the software:
