⁠LoRa Basics™ Station for Docker

This project deploys a LoRaWAN gateway with Basics™ Station Packet Forward protocol using Docker or Balena.io. It runs on a PC, a Raspberry Pi, Compute Module or balenaFin with SX1301, SX1302, SX1303 or SX1308 LoRa concentrators (e.g. RAK831, RAK833, RAK2245, RAK2246, RAK2247, RAK2287, RAK5146, Seeed WM1302 and IMST iC880a among others).

⁠Introduction

Deploy a LoRaWAN gateway running the Basics™ Station Semtech Packet Forward protocol in a docker container or as a balena.io application. The Basics™ Station protocol enables the LoRa gateways with a reliable and secure communication between the gateways and the cloud and it is becoming the standard Packet Forward protocol used by most of the LoRaWAN operators.

Main features:

• Support for AMD64 (x86_64), ARMv8, ARMv7 and ARMv6 architectures.
• Support for SX1301 SPI concentrators.
• Support for SX1302 and SX1303 SPI and USB (CoreCell) concentrators.
• Support for SX1308 SPI and SX1308 USB (PicoCell) concentrators.
• Support for multiple concentrators on the same device (using one basicstation service).
• Compatible with The Things Stack (Comunity Edition / TTNv3) or Chirpstack LNS amongst others.
• CUPS & LNS protocol configuration supported
• Gateway autoprovision for TTS servers (TTI or TTN)
• Almost one click deploy with auto-discover features and at the same time highly configurable.

Based on Semtech's Basics™ Station⁠ code.

This project is available on Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/r/xoseperez/basicstation⁠) and GitHub (https://github.com/xoseperez/basicstation-docker⁠).

This project is an evolution of the BasicStation implementation for Docker @mpous and I have been working on. You can still find it here: https://github.com/mpous/basicstation⁠.

This project has been tested with The Things Stack Community Edition (TTSCE or TTNv3).
