# ChirpStack Docker example
This repository contains a skeleton to setup the [ChirpStack](https://www.chirpstack.io)
open-source LoRaWAN Network Server stack using [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).
**Note:** Please use this `docker-compose.yml` file as a starting point for testing
but keep in mind that for production usage it might need modifications.
## Directory layout
* `docker-compose.yml`: the docker-compose file containing the services
* `configuration/chirpstack`: directory containing the ChirpStack configuration files
* `configuration/chirpstack-gateway-bridge`: directory containing the ChirpStack Gateway Bridge configuration
* `configuration/postgresql/initdb/`: directory containing PostgreSQL initialization scripts
## Configuration
This setup is pre-configured for all regions. You can either connect a ChirpStack Gateway Bridge
instance to the MQTT broker (port 1883). Please note that:
* You must prefix the MQTT topic with the region
Please see the region configuration files in the `configuration/chirpstack` for a list
of topic prefixes (e.g. eu868, us915_0, au915, as923_2, ...).
* The protobuf marshaler is configured.
This setup also comes with a ChirpStack Gateway Bridge instance which is configured to the
eu868 topic prefix. You can connect your UDP packet-forwarder based gateway to port 1700.
# Data persistence
PostgreSQL and Redis data is persisted in Docker volumes, see the `docker-compose.yml`
`volumes` definition.
## Requirements
Before using this `docker-compose.yml` file, make sure you have [Docker](https://www.docker.com/community-edition)
installed.
## Usage
To start the ChirpStack simply run:
```bash
$ docker-compose up
```
After all the components have been initialized and started, you should be able
to open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.
