Integration to github repo

ChirpStack Application Server
1

The most basic question:

I am trying to setup a home network. I am definitely ‘flying by the seat of my pants’ wrt networking. I have downloaded and got running the following github repo:

https://github.com/natanael-2012/chirpstack-docker-CucubanOS

I used this repo because it used docker and I wanted to complicate the process (why not). Anyway I now want to integrate the application server and I have been searching for the best git repo for this purpose. This has lead me to look into some of the network server toml’s that exist and when I compare the download chirpstack.toml and chirpstack-gateway-bridge.toml that I am using with the toml files listed under the other git repo network servers they look different enough that makes me question if I have the network server up and running or not.

I definitely have a URL and can see my gateway and packets from a sensor come in. Can someone please confirm for me on the above repo that I did indeed install the complete network server and I can forge ahead with trying to integrate the application server?

I know it sounds silly but I am learning as I go and there is so much info out here and for a beginner much of it seems contradictory…

Thank you!

I doubt anyone here has any idea what is in that repo. It looks to be based on an old fork of the chirpstack-docker repo. I recommend working from the official one.

Hello @bconway …
A google search on ‘chirpstack official github’ leads me to here:
https://github.com/chirpstack/chirpstack/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

Is this what you are calling official?

Beyond that it looks quite a bit different than I am used to seeing which is well defined folders for mosquitto, chirpstack-gateway-bridge, etc…

Does this contain the application as well as the network server and gateway bridge?

Thanks

One of the pinned repos.

Perfect…I will pull this and get it running…Thank you!

I don’t see the application server…Can you point me to where I will pull that down for a docker container? (I am assuming that the chirpstack folder in your link is really the chirpstack network material, correct?)

Chirpstack v4 does not have separate network and application servers. It’s one binary.

@bconway …
Is there a location somewhere where I can find out all the possible key/value pairs that can be used in the toml files? For instance the chirpstack.toml that you pointed me to is very barren yet another github repo had a ton of key value pairs and tables. I would like to explore what they all can do / mean and possibly add them

I just want to add here that I am running these all in a docker container…as you can see the chirpstack --help command doesn’t talk anything about what the various toml keys can be and how to use them…Also interested in the chirpstack-gateway-bridge.toml

I found this link :
https://forum.chirpstack.io/t/full-example-of-chirpstack-toml/18858

that you answered but I tried this within /configuration folder

chirpstack configfile > /etc/chirpstack.toml

only to get error:
-bash: /etc/chirpstack.toml: Permission denied

I am sure my linux ignorance is awry here…(I did a chmod to 777 and still get error)
Thanks

You could try chirpstack configfile > /tmp/chirpstack.toml instead. Most likely, the /etc directory is not writable by your user.
