I am trying to set up a new SatNogs ground station (btw, in a much better location that my previous setup) and I am experiencing problems with the ‘satnogs-setup’ ansible. I flashed a micro-SD card with the ISO image extracted from the latest ‘artifacts.zip’ file (Release: 2023111400).
When I run satnogs-setup, I get the following errors:
I learnt that for the certificate issue a command can be appended to ignore certificate checking and also learnt that the git URL is no longer valid. Is there a way to solve this? A new ‘script’ (sorry, not a linux person here) with the right and updated instructions? I have spent long hours reading and searching for solutions before posting this but no success so far. Most discussions I found are ‘update’ related but I am on a previous stage. So, I am finally asking here. Thanks very much in advance!
Thanks so much for your help!
I am very sorry to report that after updating the certificates (no certificates were updated, se below) I get the same string of errors!
Just to be clear and to close this help thread, also in case someone experiences the same problem. The root cause was my RaspberryPi/local Network (I suspect the problem is in my network router) not being able to properly set date and time from the NTP servers. The solution was to install and enable the Chrony NTP Client.
This is what I did:
$ sudo apt install chrony
and then I enabled the Chrony daemon service to start at boot automatically
$ sudo systemctl enable chrony
$ sudo systemctl start chrony
The Chrony status -to ensure everything is working fine- can be checked with the command
$ systemctl status chrony
After doing this the SatNOGS Client Setup program works flawlessly!
