Hello,
I live in Toulouse
I am planning to drive to Spain & Barcelona first october week.
Is there a LibreMesh community members I could give a visit to?
I would like to see a practical Lime deployment to be able to teach
howto to our local free provider Tetaneutral.
Noone there is still using mesh but point to point connections.

I managed to get libremesh branch openwrt-18.06 running on an espressobin
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/globalscale/globalscale_espressobin_v5_0_1
It uses the following switch (Marvell Topaz 88E6341). The espressobin
exposes 3 ports (2 for lan and 1 for wan)
http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Topaz+Switch
Which has been supported using MDIO since 18.06
https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_admin_vlan?dataflt%5B0%5D=switch_%3DMarve…
But I'm struggling with the right /etc/config/lime for this specific switch

Hi!
We had heavy problems in IRC channels due to a large spam attacks
affecting several IRC networks.
I feel this is getting stable, I mean, I'm happy with the last change
I did (but perhaps you not and you want to discuss):
/mode #libremesh-dev +be $~a *!*(a)gateway/shell/matrix.org/*
This means that by default BANS users UNIDENTIFIED in Freenode EXCEPT
matrix users.
I documented it here:
https://gitlab.com/guifi-exo/wiki/blob/master/howto/matrix-riot.md#configur…
On Monday night through Wednesday we have a training that includes
setting up a 400 meter link (near Puyo, Ecuador, UTC-5).
We have purchased a TP-Link Archer C20 v4. We plan to connect it via
Nanostation2 and NanoLoco2 with a WR840Nv5(ES) that belongs to a small
ISP (why this arrangement? combo of cheapest new and used hardware that
I thought would work). The 840N only has 4MB RAM, which I understand is
not really recommended for LibreMesh.
Neither of the routers are on the list of devices at
http://chef.libremesh.org/ for LibreMesh, but they are on the list for
OpenWrt. The most similar device by name on the LibreMesh list is the
Archer C20i.
If we can LibreMesh-ify the ISPs 840N router in a way that it can easily
be returned to factory firmware, maybe we will do that.
If we can LibreMesh-ify the Archer C20 without a high probability of
bricking it, we will do that (we don't have money in the budget for a
replacement this week).
I can use lime-sdk cooker instead of Chef -- I have done this before to
test a new translation file.
Suggestions on how to proceed?
Here's the C20v4 data:
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c20_ac750_v4

Unsupported Functions: WiFi 5GHz

Compare to C20i:

Who has used LibreMesh on MicroTik devices? Are they easier to flash
than Ubiquiti? (Ubq require downgrading and then flashing, and finding
the correct files can take time). I'm interested in common devices, not
the newest devices, and also interested in returning them to stock
firmware after testing LibreMesh on them. Why? A friend who runs a small
family ISP wants to test LibreMesh, and mostly uses MicroTik, with some
NanoStation M2. Also, if this works well, I might shift some planned
installations from Ubiquiti to MikroTik. Common devices in Ecuador include:
- Sxt 5ndr2 Lite
- Sxt-2
- Lhg 5

We all share two 1Mb satellite connections here in our mesh. But since mine
is always more hops aways from most of the users they tend to go to the
single 1Mb gateway, so we're starting to experience really slow, some
times, unusable internet.
We're already using a captive-portal system to block unwanted users, so now
all I can think of is of controlling the bandwidth traffic. So I came
across the sqm
<https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm> package.
Seems to be easy way to controlling the traffic.
Anyone have any experience with using this package? Any other solutions,
like using squid? Ideally we'd want to throttle videos, Bittorrent and
other bandwidth suckers.
Continuing my quest to categorize devices based on their LibreMesh compatibility, since the LibreRouter hasn't arrived yet and won't solve all needs....
1) great, (e.g. WDR3500)
2) okay, but fixed antennas
3) some functions not working, (e.g. Archer C20v4)
4) emergencies only (ones that have 4 or 2 MB flash)
5) incompatible (e.g. 841HP)
In Chef, when I type "ubiq" in the router model field, I get a list of Ubiquiti devices supposedly compatible with the latest release of LibreMesh. How is this list generated? Is it reviewed by a human?
Here are examples of why I ask: it says Nano-M and Nano M XW: are these NanoStation or NanoBeam? It says Loco XW but the OpenWrt ToH says that the latest supported release for the Loco is 10.03.1, https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/nanostationm2....? Flashing LibreMesh onto NanoStation and TP-Link CPE devices could make some networks much easier to maintain.... If it actually works.
This continues a conversation from last year about improving our documentation, such as maintaining a LibreMesh wiki.

It's there a way to build LibreMesh images based on 17.06 right now via lime-sdk?

I had the same issue not long ago. Which network profile should we use for
a basic configuration?

Hello all. I'm working with a community initiative in Nigeria who would
like to implement a community-wide wifi network. I'm looking at LibreMesh
as a possible solution Nodes would be solar powered, and would share
connection to public internet through only a couple gateways.
I'm interested in connecting with anyone on the list who has implemented
LibreMesh in a similar way, and I'm also looking for recommendations on
hardware considerations. I'm thinking a dual radio device with the 5ghz
radio dedicated to the mesh backhaul, and the 2.4ghz dedicated to end users.
Also, I'm located in Verona, Italy and could easily meet-up with any active
users nearby.
With best regards.
