welcome to the ghetto of network servers

(aka chirpstack installation steps)

platforms

The typical installation likely is into a virtual machine or into remote instance on the cloud. However when installing directly onto local machine, ansible probably doesnt do much for you.

Chirpstack installs on debian based platforms, eg Ubuntu or raspberry pi. Other distributions with different packaging management would require downloading chirpstack binaries.

If you're a windows 10 user, you may chose to practice installation on WSL2. Although WSL would never be used for actual server (by any sane person), its useful to run virtual machine to familiarize yourself with install / setup procedure of chirpstack. Watch this video if you havent already got WSL2 on windows 10. Be sure to set default to WSL2

Aside from estimating it, you can also ask the eMMC itself to tell you how far it has degraded so far (assuming it supports EMMC 5.1 or above).

The JEDEC standard (JESD84-B51) specifies that in the ext_csd field (offset 268-269) bytes indicate the level of type A/B wear. (value 0x1-0xA reflects 10%-100%, 0x0B means lifetime exceeded)

For example, on a typical linux distro, you could run the following script in bash to tell you:

	#!/usr/bin/env python3

	Forked from waveshare's color tool: https://files.waveshare.com/wiki/common/ConverTo6c_bmp-7.3.zip

	- Rotate automatically.
	- Adopted epdoptimize's real-world colors: https://github.com/Utzel-Butzel/epdoptimize
