Note; this log was generated on a Pi4 4Gb running from a SSD. However, I also test on a Pi3 Model B+ and a Pi3 Model A.

These Instructions should work for all Pi 3 and 4 models running the Buster and Bullseye releases. Also see the wiki page about Pi installation for more info and notes on how to run LaserWeb4 as a service.

This is nice and easy; node 12 is part of the RPI OS release.

Set up reticulum RNSD on Linux as a normal user, and run as a service

This is my guide to setting up Reticulum Node Stack as a daemon service on a Linux based system.

This has now been tested on a RaspberryPI 3b (running Bookworm and fully updated as of Feb. 2025) and my Fedora41 based laptop. Setup on these systems was very easy; all the required modules are available pre-built in the relevant PIP repos.

However; I have now deployed my permanent setup on a MangoPI MQ-PRO running Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS; this is attached (via USB) to a RNode and serving as a Lora/TCP transport node for my neighbourhood.

The MQ PRO is a very simple machine with a single risc-v 64bit core running at 1GHz, and 1Gb ram. Setting up was tricky but it is now running rnsd very reliably, and autostarts the servie on reboots etc.
