RNode-pi-setup

RNode + Reticulum + NomadNet Raspberry Pi Setup

A complete example configuration for running a Reticulum node, RNode LoRa interface, and self-hosted NomadNet site on a Raspberry Pi.
Includes persistent device mapping, startup/shutdown scripts, and example configuration files.

---

🧠 Overview

This repository is designed for anyone who wants to:

• Host their own NomadNet .mu pages locally
• Use a connected RNode LoRa radio for off-grid mesh networking
• Connect to the RNS Amsterdam Testnet or run fully offline
• Maintain predictable, persistent device mapping (/dev/rnode0)

🚀 Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/YOURUSERNAME/rnode-pi-setup.git
cd rnode-pi-setup
sudo cp config/99-rnode.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
#Then edit config/reticulum.conf to match your environment, and move it to:
~/.reticulum/config
#Make the scripts executable
chmod +x scripts/start scripts/stop
#Run your node:
./scripts/start
#Stop it:
./scripts/stop
