Installing SatNOGS client on Debian laptop

SatNOGS Software

Still problems this morning. Are there still continuing difficulties with SatNOGS network?
Log output earlier, having checked out satnogs-setup being correct and local network fine:
\$ sudo journalctl -f -u satnogs-client.service

Any further thoughts, please?

Indeed there were some issues with the Network this morning, they have been resolved and it should work fine now.

Maybe a DNS config issue on your machine? Trying pinging it


ping network.satnogs.org

Does it resolve the hostname and successfully return ping requests?

It can be DNS but currently that isn’t the case, the UnboundLocalError is misleading.

My system logs are currently full with:

satnogs-client[782]: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'response' referenced before assignment

Have a look at https://status.libre.space/ to see if there possible network issues

I had to do this stuff to do the manual satnogs client install on my Pi4 with debian bullseye.

1. Setup the Pi4 local and whatnot
    sudo raspi-config

2. Install Ansible

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list  #add this line   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu focal main
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 93C4A3FD7BB9C367
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ansible 
sudo apt --fix-broken install

3. Install SatNOGS client
git clone https://gitlab.com/librespacefoundation/satnogs/satnogs-client-ansible.git
cd satnogs-client-ansible
git checkout stable
cp -r production.dist production
nano production/inventory/hosts        # 127.0.0.1, user and SSH password
ssh pi@127.0.0.1 true
ansible-playbook -i production/inventory/hosts -K site.yml 
ssh -t pi@127.0.0.1 sudo satnogs-setup

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE
