Compiling the LoRa App Server source-code

I download the source code to my ubuntu and compiled it by myself and start it in the build folder ,I think it may not use configuration file,because I start it like this:
sudo ./lora_app_server --postgres-dns “postgres://loraserver_as:dbpassword@localhost/loraserver_as?sslmode=disable” --jwt-secret *************** --http-tls-cert /etc/lora-app-server/certs/http.pem --http-tls-key /etc/lora-app-server/certs/http-key.pem --db-automigrate --http-bind 0.0.0.0:8080

and my packet is like this:
{“applicationID”:“1”,“applicationName”:“mytest”,“deviceName”:“testnode
1”,“devEUI”:“0053415800000025”,“rxInfo”:[],“txInfo”:{“frequency”:******0
0000,“dataRate”:{“modulation”:“LORA”,“bandwidth”:125,“spreadFactor”:12
},“adr”:true,“codeRate”:“4/5”},“fCnt”:703,“fPort”:3,“data”:“UAA=”}

That answers my previous question. Please try again with the pre-compiled version that we provide.

yes,pre-compiled version can work correctly,how can i make self compiled version work correctly too?Is there any differences?thank you!

Without any information about what you tried, what commands you executed, what output was returned etc it will be hard for us to help you.

HI brocaar
First,thank you for your reply and thank you for your great works for this loraserver,and all my steps is followed below.
I used
sudo git clone https://github.com/brocaar/lora-gateway-bridge.git
sudo git clone https://github.com/brocaar/loraserver.git
sudo git clone https://github.com/brocaar/lora-app-server.git
these three steps to download lora-gateway-bridge,loraserver and lora-app-server projects to my ubuntu PC.
then
cd lora-gateway-bridge
sudo make
after this step there is no error print out to the terminal and a new binary of lora-gateway-bridge came out to the “build” folder.then
cd build
sudo ./lora-gateway-bridge #this command launched the lora-gateway-bridge process
then
cd loraserver
sudo make
after this step there is no error print out to the terminal and a new binary of loraserver came out to the “build” folder.then
cd build
sudo ./loraserver --postgres-dns “postgres://loraserver_ns:dbpassword@localhost/loraserver_ns?sslmode=disable” --band XXXX --log-node-frames --net-id 010203 --db-automigrate --jwt-secret XXXXXXXX
#this command launched the loraserver process
then
cd lora-app-server
sudo make
after this step there is no error print out to the terminal and a new binary of lora-app-server came out to the “build” folder.then
cd build
sudo ./lora_app_server --postgres-dns “postgres://loraserver_as:dbpassword@localhost/loraserver_as?sslmode=disable” --jwt-secret XXXXXXXXX --http-tls-cert /etc/lora-app-server/certs/http.pem --http-tls-key /etc/lora-app-server/certs/http-key.pem --db-automigrate --http-bind 0.0.0.0:8080
#this command launched the lora-app-server process
After all of these steps,I opened a firfox brower and input “https://localhost:8080” ,you already know the rest.

I followed your “LoRa Server documentation” to installed this lora server before at that time I can get the login UI correctly, so there is a history in my brower,but after I cleaned my history I can not get the login UI again.it always comes out that above webpage.

Did you also run make requirements ui-requirements? Did you follow https://docs.loraserver.io/lora-app-server/community/source/?

Hi @shuangcai_huang and @brocaar, I had this problem already , but solved :slight_smile:

When we compile lora-app server, you have to be sure that there is no static files, you can delete them because the “make” will buld them again.

In case of to build the app of ui components, I have installed the react, i.e., you have to install your application also! After you install your react application you can even run the test with “npm start”. But to build the production static files, DO NOT RUN “NPM BUILD”! You have to compile all together! So every static files will be generated at correct places!

So when we run “make package package-deb GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64”, you will have the .deb package, and thats all.

As brocaar said, be sure the you have installed correctly the ui requirements, understand a little how to even see the react app with the npm start and then build with make all together!

Hi @brocaar and @RogerioCassares ,thank you very much!
After run “make requirements ui-requirements” again,I can get the web-interface correctly now. I think
i need to get familiar with the npm more :blush:

I’ve removed the vendor/ folder from the git repository and moved the dependency management from govendor to dep.

The dependencies are now managed through a Gopkg.toml (containing the dependencies and desired version constraints) and Gopkg.lock (the current state, locked to a specific commit).

When executing make requirements the dep binary will be automatically installed after which dep ensure is called which will re-create the vendor/ folder matching the state of Gopkg.lock.

Your are so kind,thank you very much! I will follow your steps and try to compile it again after upgrade to your new version.:blush:

Nodejs version is v4.2.6. Does lora-app-server requires to newer jodejs version to be installed or there is quick uglifyjs-webpack-plugin0.4.6 fixing typo exist?

npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.

Did you try to upgrade your node version? This is what I’m using locally.

$ node --version
v9.5.0
$ npm --version
5.6.0

Alternatively, you could try the provided Docker containers for building the source.

Did you installed it from PPA? Apt-get gives me 4.2.6 on Ubuntu 16.04.


I am facing this issue while compiling the app server code (without Docker)

Did you install all requirements first (as documented)?

# install all requirements
make requirements ui-requirements

Yup… I m faccing this issue while doing make build

In that case, please try building using the Docker container first. If that works, you know it is related to your own development environment (outdated tools, packages, …).

Hi,

the code of “migrations_gen.go” generated different.
As shown in the following figure.
The left use “go build cmd/lora-app-server” can not success.
it says "./main.go:217: undefined: migrations.AssetDir
./main.go:475: undefined: static.AssetDir
./main.go:476: undefined: static.AssetInfo
"
But the right one can success.
Does anyone come across this problem?
Thank you!

You should not use go build cmd/lora-app-server, use make build (as documented: https://www.loraserver.io/lora-app-server/community/source/).

Thank you.
I use “make requirements ui-requirements"、“make clean”、“make build”,but not work.
Like this,
