Hi,
I'm attempting to install the latest version of Chirpstack so I can do some basic station testing with my US915 (band 2 - aka us915_1) devices.
I have a freshly installed Ubuntu 22.04 machine which I'm trying to use for the server.
I have the latest released docker installed, and I have made the following cofiguration file changes from the default eu868:
docker-compose.yml:
I changed the eu868 topic prefixes to us915_1
and I changed this:
"command: -c /etc/chirpstack-gateway-bridge/chirpstack-gateway-bridge-basicstation-eu868.toml"
to
"command: -c /etc/chirpstack-gateway-bridge/chirpstack-gateway-bridge-basicstation-us915_1.toml"
I copied region_us915_1.toml to chirpstack.toml
biff@dell:/chirpstack-docker/configuration/chirpstack$ diff chirpstack.toml region_us915_1.toml/chirpstack-docker/configuration/chirpstack$
biff@dell:
(no differences)
I left this file alone, since I saw we're explicitly sourcing the correct file in the docker-compose.yml file:
Left this file alone, since we're explicitly sourcing it in the docker file
biff@dell:/chirpstack-docker/configuration/chirpstack-gateway-bridge$ git diff chirpstack-gateway-bridge.toml/chirpstack-docker/configuration/chirpstack-gateway-bridge$

(no changes)
During the install, I get an error connecting to server - and that's it.
Hopefully I am missing something simple.

Being disabled, it can also cause failures without low memory condition, see https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/1328. To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot or run the command 'sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1' for this to take effect.
