Meshtastic is an open-source off-grid decentralized network based on Lora technology.
Getting started
Once you purchased a node and flash it using the meshtastic web flasher you can connect to your node from your pmos phone using a serial, bluetooth or wifi link.
Available tools
- meshtastic python script let you communicate with your node from command line.
- Gtk-meshtastic-client is an adaptive graphical client for linux from Chris Talbot.
Installing tools
Meshtastic python cli
The python cli and libraries are in the process of being packaged for Alpine.
At the moment, the easiest way to install it is through pip (py3-pip
), doing :
$ sudo pip install meshtastic --break-system-packages
Gtk Meshtastic Client
The gtk client is also in the process of being packaged.
Beware, you'll need libadwaita >=1.6 which is currently not in v24.06 ...
You'll have first to install the meson build system as well as cmake (and make sure git is here too) :
$ sudo apk add meson cmake git
You'll also need some dependencies :
$ sudo apk add gtk4.0-dev libadwaita-dev gobject-introspection-dev libshumate-dev
Then clone the git repository :
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/kop316/gtk-meshtastic-client.git
Go in the wode>gtk-meshtastic-client directory, setup the build and then compile :
$ cd gtk-meshtastic-client/ $ meson setup _build -Dprefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc $ meson compile -C _build
You can install gtk-meshtastic-client using meson install
$ meson install -C build
