LoRa Server setup

This repository provides a basic Ansible playbook to setup a working LoRa Server environment.

It will:

• Setup firewall rules and only whitelist the configured IP addresses in iptables (22 for SSH and 80 for HTTP which needs to be accessible by Let's Encrypt will be open for all IPs)
• Setup Mosquitto
• Setup Redis
• Setup PostgreSQL (including the creation of a loraserver database)
• Setup LoRa Gateway Bridge
• Setup LoRa Server
• Request a HTTPS certificate from Let's Encrypt

Requirements

This playbook has been tested on a DigitalOcean.com Ubuntu 16.04.x image. Don't have a DigitalOcean account yet? Use this link and get $10 in credits for free :-)

On the machine from where you will execute this Ansible playbook, make sure you have a recent Ansible version installed. You can install Ansible with pip (pip install ansible) or using Homebrew (OS X) (brew install ansible).

Configuration

1. Create a new Ubuntu 16.04.x image
2. Configure a DNS record for your image and wait until this record resolves
3. Copy the inventory.example file to inventory and replace example.com with the hostname created in step 2
4. Copy the group_vars/all.yml.example to group_vars/all.yml and change the settings where needed.
