Packets are not getting forwarded

Hi,

I deployed the chirpstack-packet-multiplexer with docker compose, added one server for testing and configured my lorawan gateway to forward to the chirpstack-packet-multiplexer. unfortunately the multiplexer only receives the packets but didn't forward them

My Docker-Compose.yml:

  chirpstack-packet-multiplexer:
    image: simeononsecurity/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer
    ports:
      - 1700:1700/udp
    volumes:
      - ./:/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer
      - ./config/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer.toml:/etc/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer.toml:ro

my chirpstack-packet-multiplexer.toml:

# Log level
#
# debug=5, info=4, warning=3, error=2, fatal=1, panic=0
log_level=5


[packet_multiplexer]
# Bind
#
# The interface:port on which the packet-multiplexer will bind for receiving
# data from the packet-forwarder (UDP data).
bind="0.0.0.0:1700"

[[packet_multiplexer.backend]]
host="10.12.100.10:1700"
uplink_only=True
gateway_ids = [
  "1234567890 ",
]
gateway_id_prefixes = []

Your configuration is incorrect. Since v4 it has changed. Please see: https://github.com/chirpstack/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer?tab=readme-ov-file#example-configuration.

I already tried this config

brocaar commented

Could you please share your logs with the above config?

JonathanN1203 commented

same logs as in the first post

brocaar commented

Both these logs correspond to incorrect configuration. As I already mentioned, the latest version has a new configuration format.

JonathanN1203 commented

but whats the error? I took the config from the READMe and change the server ip

brocaar commented

You say in your issue that this is your config:

# Log level
#
# debug=5, info=4, warning=3, error=2, fatal=1, panic=0
log_level=5


[packet_multiplexer]
# Bind
#
# The interface:port on which the packet-multiplexer will bind for receiving
# data from the packet-forwarder (UDP data).
bind="0.0.0.0:1700"

[[packet_multiplexer.backend]]
host="10.12.100.10:1700"
uplink_only=True
gateway_ids = [
  "1234567890 ",
]
gateway_id_prefixes = []

[monitoring]

In the latest version [[packet_multiplexer.backend]] does not exist.

It has changed to:

[[multiplexer.server]]

  #   # Hostname:port of the server.
server="10.12.100.10:1700"

(also other options have been changed.

JonathanN1203 commented

Then please also post the new logs when using that config.

In your custom docker image, are you setting the -c flag. If not, then you need to set it in the docker-compose.yml:

Example:

services:
  chirpstack-packet-multiplexer:
    image: chirpstack/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer:4.0.0-test.2
    command: -c /etc/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer.toml
    ports:
      - 1700:1700/udp
    volumes:
      - ./config:/etc/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer

With the above correct config, that works for me:

this was the error, now it's working. thanks for you help

ccall48 commented

can you pin that container default latest version to 4 to match the readme compose example, i was scratching my head yesterday when it was failing to pull from docker hub 🤣

image: chirpstack/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer:4.0.0-test.2 to be image: chirpstack/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer:4
