- In this video we go over how to install the TC2-BBS for Meshtastic, configure the settings in the config.ini file, and setup a systemd service file that will have the BBS run automatically when the system boots

Very informative.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Well now I know what I will do after work today:) Thank you for the detailed instructions.
🎉 Sure thing!
Thank you for your efforts
Sure thing!
I have meshtastic running through a hat on a pi z2, but when I set up your bbs on the same machine to run as tcp in the config, although it all seems ok, I get no response from it. What have I likely done wrong please? Do they have to be on separate units? Thanks EDIT: "BrokenPipeError: [Errno32] Broken pipe" kills the service it seems. I tried to change the ip to localhost to see if that worked, but it didn't. Tried back with regular ip and gives socket.gaierror Errno -2 Name or service not known. Thanks EDIT2= I have got it working from a heltec to the pi, so there is clearly some config issue or incapable from the both on the pi? Cheers
I am curious if you know how your BBS system would would if you have multiple BBSs that are tied together and one was mobile. If it leaves an area and posts are added to the mobile node and different posts made to the stationary BBSs, when the mobile node returns, will all the posts be added to all the BBSs or will one BBS take priority and remove any posts that the other BBS has and force it's posts on the other?
It does not have that ability at this time unfortunately.
Am I a bit confused - When I watched your set up video it was based upon a POE rig, is this not suited to a solar setup?
The Raspberry Pi uses too much power for the current solar build. Will be testing one with a bigger panel to see if it holds up.
Thank you
Sure thing!
Did the install got this when I tried to run the sever

Make sure you're in the Python environment when running. You should see (venv) at the beginning of the prompt
@@The_Comms_Channel I ran python -m venv venv and prompt did not change.
it appears to be running. but I am not great at python. is there anyone who might be able to help me
@@kentsager2117 that command is to setup the virtual environment. To enter the virtual environment, you need to run this command:
source venv/bin/activate
That should get you going 🙂
Is it possible to install this bbs on raspberry pi ZERO?
Yep, that's what I'm using it on 🙂
Why not use docker?
That's an option that's available.
