It is already some time ago that I wrote here at this place. Just a quick note for those who have their DSTAR gateways connected to the ircDDB network: The ircDDB webserver crashed yesterday early morning. We have already a new cloud system running parallel since beginning of the year, but still did not do the final step and move all data to that system. I talked to our provider and they found that the hardware where our old VM runs on is completly down. They will need a few hours to fix it and we will hopefully see it back shortly. The ircDDB network still works full functional, the IRC servers in the 2 groups are up, but status pages and the registration system are currently not available. Michael DL1BFF fixed an issue with the dynamic DNS feature which was reported, it should work now again. We decided to take this issue as a final trigger and complete the move to the cloud system within next days. The old server still run an outdated CentOS version with very old perl and php scripts. This needs to be adjusted to work on current supported Linux versions. The server was on air 24/7 since 2015 without any real failure. Before we had 2 servers located in Switzerland for some years and at the early beginning in 2008 we started on a server from the German Amateur Radio Club. We hope to have the old system back again tomorrow and want to switch to the new cloud based system until Christmas: With that we should hopefully be save for another 8 years. :-) 73 de Hans DL5DI ircDDB team

Hello everyone, I'm trying to setup a little PC(intel NUC) to replace of the original Icom G3 Software. I have search on the web but I can't find a step by step. I seams everyone is adopting the Pistar. I have found a outdated document with old URLs. I would like to have a setup that allow the users to go the others reflectors (XLX, DCS, XRF) beside the REF. Those anyone have a document or could point me in the right direction? Best regards Jose Alves

Hello. I succesfully installed G4KLX software (ircDDBGateway, APRSGateway, Timeserver) on a PC running with CentOS7 (I will add ICOM G3 later), but I have a problem at boot. I followed the instructions in "Transition to a blended G3 + ircDDBGateway environment" written by Keith VA3YC ("Transition to a blended G3.pdf"), but when timeserver.service and ircddbgateway.service are launched at boot (both programs are launched as services), I got an error "Failed at step EXEC spawning /etc/rc.d/init.d/timeserver : No such file or directory" and "Failed at step EXEC spawning /etc/rc.d/init.d/ircddbgateway : No such file or directory". Both services are exited with "control process exited, code=exited status=203". Of course, the files and directories do exist !!! Any idea ? 73 from Fabrice, F5HCC.

Hi All. I have a G4KLX software based ICOM repeater running fine (IRCddbGateway under CentOS7 and ICOM ID-RP2C Controller) and I want to know if it is possible to install ICOM G3 software AFTER IRCddbGateway software ? I want to add G3 functionalities to the repeater and manage US-Trust local registration. Any experience about that ? Any help welcome ! Best 73 from Fabrice, F5HCC.

While investigating other G4KLX based packages.... Tom Early N7TAE (and company) developed QNetGateway (https://github.com/n7tae/QnetGateway). A user, Stefan MI0PYN, had suggested and documented what it would take for him to build QNetGateway on top of a G3 system. I am uploading that documentation to the Files section here now. Terry

If/when you install using the documentation being provided, please keep notes and maybe even log your console session. We are anxious to see how your installation progressed. Terry
