Local LoRawan network

Hello.
I am using the following:
https://github.com/natanael-2012/chirpstack-docker-CucubanOS

I use

docker-compose up -d

and notice that the chirpstack-gateway-bridge wants to start two instances of containers one for basicstation and one for udp…I have completely eliminated the basicstation out of the toml yet it still starts is…I then removed all instances of the toml file (expecting it to err out) but when I do docker-compose down and then up again it restarts both bridges…How is this possible ??? What am I missing??

I’m not expert on docker, but I hope this is useful somehow.
First of all, if you don’t want to initialize the chirpstack-gateway-bridge-basicstation then you would need to modify the docker-compose.yml file, that should do the trick.

To do that (literally to cause an error) you would need first to delete the images and maybe the volumes of docker.

Take what I say now with a grain of salt, because I’m not docker expert, but I think that docker (on the first execution) will save some files in your computer, so, even if you delete the files in the configurations, those files are still remaining.

Again, no expert of docker here, maybe you could find more if you search on how exactly docker works

Did you try manipulate docket-compose image where it says: “chirpstack-gateway-bridge-basicstation” to be not started.
Even removing that entire parameter should do the trick.

@Marcos_Rojas_Mardone …thank you very much for your help…Yes somehow I completely overlooked that within the yml file…

I deleted and restarted and at least I can now get to the login page on port 8080 for chirpstack…I was looking at the chirpstack.toml from the github directory I posted and to me it looked like the login uname and pwd were chirpstack:

dsn="postgres://chirpstack:chirpstack@$POSTGRESQL_HOST/chirpstack?sslmode=disable"

but that does not seem to work?
Can you tell me what file I would find this information ?
Thanks

I’m sorry, I don’t know if I fully understand, from your post I thought that (for whatever reason) you were trying to not initialize the chirpstack-gateway-bridge basicstation

I’m not sure what you mean

Hi,

Try to following trick to get more log information what happen in a startup process:

$ docker-compose stop
$ docker-compose up -d && docker-compose logs -f

…if you don’t know where the problem is in the startup process.

Logging can be aborted by using simply ctrl+c key combination.

All.
I cleaned out the git clone and reloaded it. Downed docker then restarted it. Then containerized all.

I have been successful at getting up and running a network server. I am able to open chirpstack at 8080 and I have joined a gateway. Still need to get a node communicating but I am unsure of what a device profile is ESPECIALLY if I am using my own developed node. Have to look into this one…If ppl have a pointer that’d be great. I am sure I can find info on protocol just not sure (after I create the profile file) where or how to load it to the site.

In any event thanks all for the help!

I’m not sure if this is what you’re asking for. But you can add a new profile to the node you developed in the user interface. You can fill in the node’s new profile information without a “device profile template”. See the image below.
