LoRaWAN (Legacy) UDP Packet Forwarder App for BalenaOS

This project deploys a LoRaWAN gateway with UDP Packet Forward protocol using Docker or Balena.io. It runs on a PC, a Raspberry Pi 3/4, Compute Module 3/4 or balenaFin with SX1301, SX1302, SX1303 or SX1308 LoRa concentrators (e.g. RAK831, RAK833, RAK2245, RAK2247, RAK2287, RAK5146, Seeed WM1302 and IMST iC880a among others).

Introduction

Deploy a LoRaWAN Gateway running the Legacy UDP Packet Forwarder as a balena.io fleet.

Main features:

Support for AMD64 (x86_64), ARMv8 and ARMv7 architectures.
Support for SX1301, SX1302, EX1303 and SX1308 concentrators.
Almost one click deploy and at the same time highly configurable.

Components used:

Check the differents repos for specific configuration options.

Deploy

Via Balena Deploy

Running this project is as simple as deploying it to a balenaCloud application. You can do it in just one click by using the button below:

Follow instructions, click Add a Device and flash an SD card with that OS image dowloaded from balenaCloud. Enjoy the magic 🌟Over-The-Air🌟!

In-control deploy via Balena-Cli

If you are a balena CLI expert, feel free to use balena CLI. This option lets you configure in detail some options, like adding new services to your deploy or configure de DNS Server to use.

Sign up on balena.io
Create a new application on balenaCloud.
Add a new device and download the image of the BalenaOS it creates.
This is the moment to configure the DNS server in the BalenaOS if required. See the Configuring the domain section below.
Burn and SD card (if using a Pi), connect it to the device and boot it up.

While the device boots (it will eventually show up in the Balena dashboard) we will prepare de services:

Clone this repository to your local workstation. Don't forget to update the submodules.

cd ~/workspace
git clone https://github.com/ttncat/balena-legacy-gateway
cd standalone-lorawan-gateway-balena

Edit services by editing the docker-compose.yml file
Using Balena CLI, push the code with balena push <application-name>
See the magic happening, your device is getting updated 🌟Over-The-Air🌟!
