Semtech Packet Fwd and chirpstack running both in docker

[floSolio]

Hi

I’m trying to finalize my custom gateway based on semtech lr1302 board connected to a Toradex SoM.

I’m able to run in a container the semtech rf packet forwarder. I can see my dragino crypted messages when i push the reset button for example).

This semtech forwarder is tunning into a docker. I have to use docker because the Toradex image is really light almost nothing is installed on it and the advised way of working is to use docker ( for example gpio command for reset.sh script is required with the gpiolib, no way to exectute gpio command without docker or without building a custom image with Yocto for example).

Beside of this, i have git clone the nice chirpstack suite.

As i’m in France, i’m using the 868mhz, so by default, no modification needs to be done.

I have modified the docker compose, to build my docker with the semtech rf forwarder, by default, the semtech packet forwader send on port 1730. So i have modified it to send on udp 1700, because chirsptack listen on this one.

But it seems that, because the packet forwarder is running nto a container exposing 1700 and the chirstack-bridge also exposed the port 1700, there is a conflict .

Is it possible to work like this ( one packet forwarder container communicate to one chirpstack-bridge container through UDP ?)

How most of the people using semtech packet forwarder proceed usually?

Thanks a lot for your help, please find my docker compose:
