Chirpstack-FUOTA-server configuration

ChirpStack Network Server
1

Hi everyone,

For my project at the university, i’ll try to setup an FUOTA enviroment.

I have a RAK831-Rapberry Pi gateway running the Gateway OS base on IP 192.168.1.111.
Then I have an Ubunut 20 host machine with static IP 192.168.1.112 running docker.

I have successfully installed the normal Chirpstack network server and applications server (Quickstart Docker Compose - ChirpStack open-source LoRaWAN<sup>®</sup> Network Server). I was also able to connect the gateway and receive data from a node.

Now I wanted to install the chirpstack-fuota-server https://github.com/brocaar/chirpstack-fuota-server in parallel to finally divide nodes into a multicast group and send data with the fragmented data block transfer protocol.

I have done all the steps described in the README.

The docker-container ruinning are:

If I now start the chirpstack-fuota-server following error occurs:

bash-5.1# chirpstack-fuota-server

Does anyone have an idea how to run the normal chirpstack-network-server in parallel with the chirpstack-fuota-server and using the same gateway and application server?

Big thanks

Hi Corsin,

Any update/breakthrough in your attemt to run chirpstack’s Network-Appilcation Servers in parallel? If so, do share your inferences Corsion.

The FUOTA server tries to connect to PostgreSQL on 127.0.0.1:5432 but this connection is refused because there is no PostgreSQL instance running at this address (or it is refusing the connections).
