Revision: 1.01 – 12\/11\/2018<\/span><\/h6>\n

Here you find my installations guide how to install dxspider on raspberry Pi. Also you can find more information here wiki.dxcluster.org<\/a>. If you\u00a0need help please contact with me.<\/p>\n

Furthermore if you don’t want make manual installation you can used my script<\/a> for the installation and configuration Dxspider.<\/p>\n

1. Fisrt change user from pi\u00a0to root<\/p>\n

$ sudo su -l<\/pre>\n
2. Create user sysop and setup password<\/p>\n
# adduser -m sysop \n\n# passwd sysop<\/pre>\n
3. Install perl libraries<\/p>\n
# apt-get update \n\n# apt-get install libtimedate-perl libnet-telnet-perl libcurses-perl libdigest-sha-perl libdata-dumper-simple-perl<\/pre>\n
4. Now download and\u00a0 unpack the DX Spider distribution, set symbolic links and group permissions. Copy the tarball to \/home\/sysop and do the following.<\/p>\n
# cd ~sysop \n\n# wget http:\/\/www.dxcluster.org\/download\/CVSlatest.tgz \n\n# tar xvfz CVSlatest.tgz \n\n# ln -s ~sysop\/spider \/spider \n\n# groupadd -g 251 spider<\/pre>\n
If you do not have the command ‘groupadd’ available to you, simply add a line in \/etc\/group by hand.<\/p>\n
# vi \/etc\/group<\/pre>\n
You also need to add some others to the group, including your own callsign (this will be used as an alias) and root. The finished line in \/etc\/group should look something like this:<\/p>\n
spider:x:251:sysop,sv5fri,root<\/pre>\n
5. The next step is to set the permissions on the Spider directory tree and files<\/p>\n
# chown -R sysop.spider spider \n\n# find . -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \\; \n\n# find . -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \\;<\/pre>\n
6. Now login to your machine as the user you created earlier. In my case that user is called ‘sysop’. Once logged in, issue the following commands<\/p>\n
# su -l sysop \n\n$ cd \/spider \n\n$ mkdir local \n\n$ mkdir local_cmd \n\n$ cp perl\/DXVars.pm.issue local\/DXVars.pm \n\n$ cd local \n\n$ vi DXVars.pm<\/pre>\n
Using the distributed DXVars.pm as a a template, set your cluster callsign, sysop callsign and other user info to suit your own environment.<\/p>\n
$mycall = \"SV5FRI-1\"; \n$myalias = \"SV5FRI\"; \n$myemail = \"myemail@gmail.com\";<\/pre>\n
7. Edit Listeners.pm to remove \u201c#\u201d from the line for the port, and add additional ports as needed:<\/em><\/p>\n
$ cp \/spider\/perl\/Listeners.pm \/spider\/local\/Listeners.pm \n\n$ cd \/spider\/local\/ \n\n$ vi Listeners.pm<\/pre>\n
After edit Listeners.pm file like<\/p>\n
@listen = \n ( [\u201c0.0.0.0\u201d, 7300], \n);<\/pre>\n
8. Now type the following command which creates the basic user file with you as the sysop.<\/p>\n
$ cd ..\/perl \n\n$ .\/create_sysop.pl<\/pre>\n
9. Starting up for the first time cluster<\/p>\n
$ cd ..\/perl \n\n$ .\/cluster.pl<\/pre>\n
10. On a separate ssh or system console, log into the system as sysop<\/p>\n
$ \/spider\/perl\/console.pl\n<\/pre>\n
11. Creates the connect script file and enters the editor. <\/em>Your connect script should look similar to this script.<\/p>\n
Create connect script<\/p>\n
$ touch \/spider\/connect\/<adjacent_node_callsign> \n\n$ vi \/spider\/connect\/<adjacent_node_callsign><\/pre>\n
Connect script must like this<\/p>\n
timeout 60 \nabort (Busy|Sorry|Fail) \n# don't forget to chmod 4775 netrom_call! \nconnect telnet cluster.xyz.com 7300 \n# example 'login' 'sv5fri-1' 'login' '<your_node_callsign>' \n# example if you connect to k1ttt \n# client k1ttt \ntelnet client <connect_node_callsign> telnet<\/pre>\n
After check permission file<\/p>\n
chmod 775 \/spider\/connect\/<adjacent_node_callsign><\/pre>\n
12. To configure your node you must set the adjacent node by node type:<\/p>\n
i. For connection to a DXSpider node use the set\/spider command from the console<\/p>\n
$ \/spider\/perl\/console.pl \n\u2013----- \nsv5fri de sv5fri-1 25-Nov-2015 0755Z dxspider > set\/spider <adjacent_node_callsign><\/pre>\n
Enter your link partner as after set\/spider<\/em><\/p>\n
ii. For a connection to an ARCluster node<\/p>\n
$ \/spider\/perl\/console.pl \n\u2013----- \nsv5fri de sv5fri-1 25-NOV-2015 0757Z dxspider > set\/arcluster <adjacent_node_callsign><\/pre>\n
13. To initiate a connection to the your new adjacent node partner<\/p>\n
$ \/spider\/perl\/console.pl \n\nconnect <adjacent_node_callsign><\/pre>\n
14. At least you need a\u00a0cron<\/b>\u00a0and a\u00a0connect<\/b>\u00a0script to connect to the nodes automatically for examble \u2013 your node parter is: k1ttt<\/i><\/p>\n
$ touch \/spider\/local_cmd\/crontab \n\n$ vi \/spider\/local_cmd\/crontab<\/pre>\n
the cron like this:<\/p>\n
# Check every 10 minutes to see if xxxx is connected and if not \n# start a connect job \n#\n0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * start_connect('k1ttt') unless connected('k1ttt')<\/pre>\n
After check permission file<\/p>\n
chmod 775 \/spider\/local_cmd\/crontab><\/pre>\n
