# 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.
|
|
|
|
## Importing TTN device repository
|
|
|
|
To import the TTN [lorawan-devices](https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/lorawan-devices)
|
|
repository (optional step), run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make import-lorawan-devices
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will clone the `lorawan-devices` repository and execute the `import-ttn-lorawan-devices`
|
|
command of ChirpStack. Please note that for this step, you need to have the `git` and `make`
|
|
commands 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.
