I want to install lora server in Redhat Linux. I have downloaded the precompiled binary but I am very new to Redhat , so I need installation steps for LoraServer in RedHat.
@brocaar please help
Sorry, I don’t have much experience with RedHat. If you get it all working, a pull request with instructions would be welcome 
Other than Ubuntu / Derbian have you installed it in any other OS using any of the precompiled binaries @brocaar
Yes, I’m running the full stack on MacOS for development. It should all work fine under RedHat but it might require different commands to set everything up (+ package naming for requirements might be slightly different) + you have to create your own SystemD script (you can take the base from the packaging folder from each repository.
Hi @brocaar I tried to install lora server and lora app server using precompiled binary in RHEL.
I configured both .toml files
I tried ./loraserver to start LoraServer and following is the output
_*root@hpe-iotsgf LoRa]# ./loraserver_
_ INFO[0000] starting LoRa Server band=EU_863_870 docs=“https://docs.loraserver.io/” net_id=010203 version=0.26.0_

AND LoRa App server using ./lora-app-server
and got following output
[root@hpe-iotsgf LoRa]# ./lora-app-server

But I am not able to see anything as UI using https://localhost:8080.
Can you guide me in this issue
I found out the issue. It was related to self signed certificate that I am using for application_server.external_api.tls_cert and application_server.external_api.tls_key
.When I do a Wget https:XXX.X.XXX.XX:8080
I get error like
ERROR: cannot verify XX.X.XXX.XX’s certificate, issued by “/C=IN/ST=KARNATAKA/L=BENGALURU/O=XXXXXX XXX/OU=CMS/CN=XX.X.XXX.XX/emailAddress=XXXXX.XXXX@XX.XX”:
_ Self-signed certificate encountered._
So I need the get the certificate and key for application_server.external_api.tls_cert and application_server.external_api.tls_key respectively.
So @brocaar please let me know how can I generate that
For a free TLS certificate, please see https://letsencrypt.org. There are also many other companies where you can buy one for a couple of dollars.
Thanks @brocaar .My certificates were correct but the port( 8080) was not open.
Any way finally I was able to install loraserver and loraappserver using precompiled binaries i RHEL.
We can close this thread.

I try to install loraserver on CentOS 7. Can anyone point me the equivalent instruction for the following used for Ubuntu. Thanks.
Setup LoRa Server software repository
LoRa Server provides a repository that is compatible with the Ubuntu apt package system.
Set up the key for this new repository:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1CE2AFD36DBCCA00
Add the repository to the repository list by creating a new file:
sudo echo “deb https://artifacts.loraserver.io/packages/1.x/deb stable main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/loraserver.list
Update the apt system:
sudo apt update
I hope you can ignore this step as in CentoS we use precompiled binaries
Hi,
see here I did a guide out for Centos 7.
