Hi All: I documented my experience with PineDio Gateway here...

@RTP 's Armbian image worked great! I'm writing an article about this.

@tllim : I hope Pine64 will sell PineDio Gateway soon. We need to get it running in Schools, Workplaces and Homes... To grow The Things Network! [emoji106]

PineDio gateway will be at store soon, just wait for the FCC CE testing.

Thanks on your PineDio gateway document

Happy to hear it worked well for you


I just now updated/uploaded image w/some small additions: automating resize of rootfs to fit current sdcard (happens automatically upon the very first pinedio login after the password is entered).

And I both shrank down the image further and added short readme w/links to the Wiki.

Great stuff!
Wanted to update thread with new image download for anyone interested.

Video showing latest image first login to give idea + pointing to Lup's great guide:

Bold + * = new additions, since last image:

• hardware pre-enabled/configured
  
• concentrator starts with GPS running
  
• Chirpstack running by default accessible by: http://IPaddress:8080 (armbian-config to change to TTN as in Lup's guide)
  
• *updated Chirpstack application server/Armbian 
  
• *nice little pinedio ascii art welcome screen on ssh login
  
• *created a 'firstrun' run only on first boot script. For anyone interested in the details: (for now) it creates/reconfigures fresh set of ssh keys/resizes to meet disk size for that first boot up. This only runs on that first boot, and is disabled after doing it's jobs (firstrun service)
  
• *Timezone setup opens up upon first login to allow setting of timezone by pinedio user (tzdata)
  
• *Created (optional Tor Browser access) onion repository for checksums and download links (may upload more as I organize, including optional README.md)
  
• *forced password change on first login

In addition, started storing latest image download link + checksums/credentials on a github and Gitea .onion address.

    Github (PineDio Gateway)
    Gitea Onion

To keep latest download links a bit more organized.

[RTP]

Minor info: in keeping latest download links/info listed on the Github/Gitea repositories + documenting any small "issues" anytime I notice something (with the fix so far).

Making easier to keep track of/share easy/quick fixes for anyone who may use older image (before I get a chance to upload a newer fixed one).

If anyone runs apt upgrade (since 01.04.2022 image) you may have noticed GPG key expired since then for Chirpstack sources (fixing soon in new image): https://github.com/RightToPrivacy/Pine64...d/issues/2

For now, you can fix that expired GPG key right away by running:

Code:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1CE2AFD36DBCCA00

Everything else looks good. ?

Example issue: https://github.com/RightToPrivacy/Pine64...d/issues/2

(Chirpstack gpg key to next image updates ASAP, for now sharing command fix here and on github until that upload)

[RTP]

* Migrated some aspects that were on first login to new firstboot service (ie: new ssh keys for each flashed copy (generated first boot), disk automatic grow..) disables itself after finishing first run.

* Updated GPG keys (for Chirpstack updates); run something like: 'apt update && apt upgrade' for Debian + Chirpstack updates

* Updated latest software + chirpstack

Today: article/post covering duplicate EUI/mac conflicts, and solutions and testing for those interested:
https://politictech.wordpress.com/2022/0...teway-eui/

Testing duplicate mac address responses on TTN, and came up with working solution I tested to successfully rejoin network by changing EUI.
(before/after screenshots and config file process screenshots at above posting).

Covering how to change your EUI.

TTN join success when you edit the EUI file.

Planning another updated Debian (Armbian) based image coming up.


EDIT: the download link + checksums for latest image: February 26th 2022 is at: https://github.com/RightToPrivacy/Pine64-Mesh-Related

There, I will be keeping it more organized/updated
