Re: Sharing Pi with node-red and Softether Server


 

Thanks all for the great responses.

One of my cohorts in this project has a GL travel router on Beryl AX. I think it is the GL-MT300. He purchased it because someone on another Flex group recommended it for use with his Maestro. Of course it is still in the box as it arrived from Amazon. I intend to borrow it as a part of my project.

I started with Softether because it provides a bridging capability for the five locations hosting radios for my group. I have eliminated the bridging due to some inconsistencies connecting to a radio.?

I currently have one server defined in each of three locations. One running on a Pi 5 4gb in my location. One running on a Pi3b shared with a Node-red dashboard. And one I am unable to connect with a Pi 3b shared with Node-red.?

This last one gets an error of the server not responding to the connection request. I am able to connect to it with the management software. I will attempt to install a stand alone Pi 4 in this location.

Again thanks for all the great responses.

73, Marty WD9GYM

Hello to the Group, you can export your Softether settings then do the Linux Upgrades and Updates to all the files and re-install Softether then import your settings. Do this in the "Edit Config" (Gear ICON) with the "Save to File" Tab and "Import File and Apply" Tabs at the bottom of the "Edit Config" window.
I have moved from a Raspberry Pi to a Windows machine and Back using this method in the past almost 10 years. Actually it's easier I think then NODE-RED is to update or Move because you don't have to load all the Pallets, Wish Node_Red would build a way to backup for reinstall but that's another topic.?

But Back to the topic of this message I personally would NOT run them on the same Computer / Pi, I have had a Pi 4 8Gig on it's knees when I had a bunch of quick moving meters like for Modulation and a bunch of stream deck screens having to be drawn and you really don't want to have your VPN traffic slowing down to a unusable state because Node-Red is to busy.
