LoRa Server Docker setup

This repository contains a skeleton to setup the LoRa Server project using docker-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
• docker-compose-env.yml: alternate docker-compose file using environment variables, can be run with the docker-compose -f flag
• configuration/lora*: directory containing the LoRa Server configuration files, see:
  • https://www.loraserver.io/lora-gateway-bridge/install/config/
  • https://www.loraserver.io/loraserver/install/config/
  • https://www.loraserver.io/lora-app-server/install/config/
  • https://www.loraserver.io/lora-geo-server/install/config/
• configuration/postgresql/initdb/: directory containing PostgreSQL initialization scripts

Configuration

The LoRa Server components are pre-configured to work with the provided docker-compose.yml file and defaults to the EU868 LoRaWAN band. Please refer to the configuration/loraserver/examples directory for more configuration examples.

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 installed.

Usage

To start all the LoRa Server components, simply run:

$ docker-compose up

Note: during the startup of services, it is normal to see the following errors:

• ping database error, will retry in 2s: dial tcp 172.20.0.4:5432: connect: connection refused
• ping database error, will retry in 2s: pq: the database system is starting up

After all the components have been initialized and started, you should be able to open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.

Add network-server

When adding the network-server in the LoRa App Server web-interface (see network-servers), you must enter loraserver:8000 as the network-server hostname:IP.
