I’ve been experimenting lately with creation of satnogs-client images based on the newly released v0.4 and using the also newly released Fedora 26 as the base operating system. In that effort I have already created such an image and by testing it to my station seems to work fine. So I thought I should share in case that helps more people to speed up their station setup. Feel free to download it and test it.

That means that once flashed on a RaPi you skip many of the documentation steps. In a nutshell the steps are:
- Flash the image on an sdcard
xzcat satnogs-client-0.4-f26.raw.xz | sudo dd status=progress bs=4M of=/dev/mmcblkX # Replace that with your sdcard location
-
Boot the RaPi with an ethernet cable connected to your router. Once you know its IP address you can ssh to connect on it. Credentials are
satnogsfor both username and password and that user has sudo access. -
Populate
/home/satnogs/.envwith your stations options. -
Complete step 5 of the documentation based on your SDR setup.
-
Edit
~/start-satnogs-client.shand replace<rotctld PARAMETERS>based on your station setup. -
Run the client and make sure it runs on every reboot.
sudo systemctl enable satnogs-client.service
sudo systemctl start satnogs-client.service
If you want to check the logs you can do it with journalctl,
journalctl -f -u satnogs-client.service
If you want to use the web interface you will have to open one port on the firewall.
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5000/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5000/tcp
And just point your browser to your RaPi IP address and port. Something like: 192.168.1.xx:5000
