#reticulum #rns in #nixos
A beta #flake that installs (amongst other things) #meshchat #reticulummeshchat and #nomadnet
https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/flakes_nomadnet
#derivation #nixospackages
The flake was hammered out using chatGPT iteratively from a non-AI base flake. #reticulumnetworkstack #reticulumnetwork
See my take on the context and Why NixOS here: https://www.loramesh.org/#nixos

A #nixos #flake that builds a #derivation that #package & install #nomadnet 0.1.0 & #meshchat 1.1.0 from #github python source code. For #reticulum #network. This is a beta work in progress, done using chatGPT iteratively, and is my first attempt at packaging something for nixos. Time will tell if this holds up. Uses python #setuptools & #buildPythonPackage
#lxmf ver 0.8.0
#rns ver 1.0.0 https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/flakes_nomadnet.git

#nixospackages This is experimental and beta - see readme file for issues

#meshchat #reticulum #LoRa
It seems that it is important for all #rnodes in a given #meshchat based #loramesh #mesh to update to the latest #meshchat version to ensure all rnodes can function as intended.

Has anyone managed to make a message #bridge between different #spreadingfactor #sf #lora #rnodes using #reticulum #rns : either using the same single computer and two different #rnode radios (on the same frequency), or using two rnode radios on 2 different computers connected by #wifi? I seem to get this not working "out of the box" because of #collisions of lora packets of the two rnodes. Has anyone managed to bridge lora rnodes by putting in a transmission delay in #reticulum e.g. #meshchat ?

Peer-to-peer chat via Bluetooth is the hype with (apparently poorly designed) #bitchat

Wouldn’t #reticulum #meshchat (https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat) do that, but
- mature
- well-encrypted
- (massively) scalable
- without the limitation to Bluetooth

?

Getting reports of #reticulum #meshchat version 1.22 not being able to message nor ping #version 1.21 . Anyone else get this?

Connected and tapping! With the Raspberry Pi Zero W 2, a Waveshare e-paper touch hat and a decent amount of coding, we have a device that can read the announce stream for NomadNet.

A first & second #reticulum #rnode each on a #raspberrypizero each providing their own #wifi #hotspot & running #meshchat on http://<IP_1> :8000 & http://<IP_2>:8000 (different hotspot IP addresses)
using these instructions https://medium.com/@thakuravnish2313/how-to-set-up-a-persistent-raspberry-pi-hotspot-with-dhcp-f2519c3d5898 & https://loramesh.org/subpages/pi_install.html & two wifi adapters https://amzn.eu/d/6SzEJww
in a #nixos #thinkpad allows both rnodes' meshchat GUI interfaces to be used at the same time on one laptop. Useful for monitoring multiple rnode radios outside or in the attic.

How can #reticulum #meshchat on an rnode X suddenly lose the ability to send/receive messages from one particular #rnode A, when all other rnodes B & C continue to work fine and communicate with X? When restarting the rnode X the problem goes away....
Never seen this before. Normally either every message route between A & X and C & X and B & X works or nothing works.
Is there a routing issue? (Announces were made from all radios and plenty of time taken).

If a #reticulum #meshchat instance with a #lxmf address on one computing device has 4 identical #lora #rnodes #rnode interfaces, each with same settings of frequency #spreadingfactor #sf, each rnode having a #directional #yagi #antenna in close vicinity, will transmission to a sender of a #deliveryconfirmation (#downlink) from 1 antenna to the sender's direction, be messed up due to local #collision at rnode 1 of different attempted #acknowledgement signals of the other 3 near rnodes?

With a #RaspberryPiZero2W & #usbhub https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/USB_HUB_HAT_(B) possible to use 4 #lora #radio #rnodes at same #reticulum #meshchat interface. Can use 4 different sets of radio parameters at one #LoRa #radio interface. Can use 1 radio with low #spreadingfactor #sf for short transmissions at high data rate for large payloads like images or accessing #nomadnet #pages and 1 with larger SF for longer range. No need to choose between #meshtasic presets https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings/ ! just use them all ! Magic

In a world where control of #communication networks is increasingly centralized, DIY networks offer an independent alternative. This presentation shows how to build up your own autonomous #meshNetworks with low-cost hardware components and open source tools such as #Reticulum and #MeshChat. We will present practical steps for the construction, configuration and integration of sensors, communication and computing power. We are also discussing how such #networks can be used in #humanitarianCrises, such as the organisation of aid measures through solidarity initiatives.

This workshop offers a detailed journey through the world of do-it-yourself radio networks and #autonomousCommunication structures. Using an exemplary system structure, we show how to realize cost-effective, flexible mesh networks with #LoRa #RNode, Reticulum and MeshChat. In doing so, we not only dedicate ourselves to the technical requirements – such as the optimal hardware selection, antenna adaptation and network planning (keyword “Network Planning 101”) – but also consider how these technologies can be used for #humanitarian purposes, for example at #CADUS.

Any recommendations for a 64 bit machine for #proxmox to run 8 dedicated #virtualmachines #vm each running minimal #ubuntu for a single #reticulum #meshchat application with 8 single usb-c connections to 8 #lora radio #rnode #nodes like a RAK4613 https://store.rakwireless.com/products/wisblock-meshtastic-starter-kit?variant=4388403462163
Here is what their site says: https://www.proxmox.com/en/products/proxmox-virtual-environment/requirements
Requirements for each VM is not much more than 1 Gb and storage requirements trivial (less than 30 Gb per machine). Any recommendations most welcome.

If I have 10 virtual machines (m1..10) in #proxmox each running #rnode hardware (r1..10), via 10 #meshchat guis (g1..10), over one of 10 respective usb-c connections,
& all 10 virtual machines are on the same local area network #LAN via 1 network card/interface of the 1 computer running proxmox, can I link the virtual machines using #reticulum #rns #autointerface
https://reticulum.network/manual/interfaces.html#auto-interface
& will thereby each #rnode #meshchat #gui receive all #lora mediated data from each other #rnode over #lan ?
