Hi people! I'm really excited to say that
I'm using LibreMesh after a
long time following the project.
Welcome, and congratulations!!!
The objective: to deploy a libremesh network with mesh
nodes on a school
and a house (maybe some in between because there is 300m distance).
why some more? maybe you really don't need.
Explain a little bit more your setup:
* what devices you are using (from your email it says tplink but which?
installed where?)
* antennas
* where you are setting it up: is this urban? roofs? is there clear line
of sight in between them? the more information the better
The
school and house must be able to host content related to their activities.
That sounds great, tell us more :) (just for the sake of getting to know
you better).
Current scenario: at home I have a cellphone and a pc
connected to a
TP-Link router running LibreMesh. I have a running http server on the pc
for testing purposes> The problem: from the phone I can't retrieve content using
http://10.13.0.4:1234 (ip of the pc and port of the node server).
are both of the devices connected to the same router or different ones?
if different, are they at line of sight?
Now some questions:
1) how can I diagnose if there are configuration problems?
If you are using the config that comes with LiMe or some small changes
this shouldn't be the case.
you can share it with the rest to find out.
If you have sysadmin experience there are some commands that you can try
to let us know your setup (but probably some of our fellows in this list
can send them to you, I don't recall).
They will be related to get the batman-adv and bmx6 state, the wireless
links from the different nodes, and also the logread output to see if
there is anything strange in them.
In general, with good line of sight and proper config (share wifi
channel and protocols), they should be meshing transparently.
2) should the devices connected to mesh nodes have a
name in the DNS
provided by the router? (I'm thinking of http://school-node/some/content)
this functionality is right now being changed, so any feedback on this
would be greatly appreciated.
This functionality was broken in the past (it was based on alfred), and
now @gio is working on its replacement using something called
shared-state that is supposed to work, so do tell us if you find that
this feature is not working.
If there is some documentation where you can point me
to, I'll be very
thankful.
libremesh.org and github.com/libremesh/lime-packages are your two places
to look at for now.
please also inform and document if you find that something is missing :)
Sorry if something is missing in my question, english
is not my native
language.
the email is very clear... for most of us english is not our first
language, but the one we can use to share with each other.
regards,
