PyPNM-CMTS - CMTS Operations Toolkit for PyPNM (Under Development)

Use PyPNM-CMTS as a library	Install pypnm-docsis-cmts into an existing Python environment.
Run the full repo	Clone the repo and use the CLI + tools stack.

Getting started

Install from PyPI (library only)

If you only need the library, install from PyPI:

pip install pypnm-docsis-cmts

1) Clone

git clone https://github.com/PyPNMApps/PyPNM-CMTS.git
cd PyPNM-CMTS

2) Install

Run the installer:

./install.sh

Optional: use a custom venv directory:

./install.sh .env-dev

Optional: development install with extra tooling:

./install.sh --development

The development install attempts to install gitleaks using the system package manager, and falls back to a GitHub release download if the package is unavailable.

Optional: update from the latest GA or hot-fix tag:

./install.sh --update-ga
./install.sh --update-hot-fix

Optional: update pypnm-docsis in the active venv:

./install.sh --update-development-pypnm-docsis
./install.sh --update-development-pypnm-docsis v1.4.2.0

Without a tag, the installer upgrades to the latest prerelease. With a tag or version, it installs that exact pypnm-docsis release.

Cleanup and uninstall:

./install.sh --clean
./install.sh --uninstall

3) Activate the virtual environment

If you used the installer defaults, activate the .env environment:

source .env/bin/activate

4) Run the CLI

pypnm-cmts --version

5) Run the FastAPI service

pypnm-cmts serve

The service binds to 127.0.0.1:8080 by default and reads CMTS adapter settings from system.json. Use pypnm-cmts config-menu to set the CMTS hostname and SNMP communities, or pass --cmts-hostname/--read-community overrides at runtime.

To keep the service running after logout, launch it in the background:

pypnm-cmts serve --run-background

Optional explicit log and pidfile paths:

pypnm-cmts serve --run-background \
  --background-log-file /var/log/pypnm-cmts.log \
  --background-pidfile /var/run/pypnm-cmts.pid
