Home Assistant

Airgapped:

Home Assistant is an open source home automation server. It has integrations for a wide variety of devices, and allows you to create custom dashboards for viewing sensor information and controlling your devices. If you want to access your Home Assistant instance from anywhere, but cannot port forward due to {{Term|CGNAT}}, making your instance publicly accessible via 44Net is one solution. Even if your home internet isn't behind CGNAT, it likely has a dynamic IP, which would require you to set up dynamic DNS for your instance to maintain consistent external access. A 44Net IP lets your instance be publicly accessible at a fixed IPv4 address for free.

Prerequisites:
* A Home Assistant instance (set this up '''before''' exposing it to the internet so that setup cannot be hijacked)
* A 44Net Connect account

== Step 1: Set up your tunnel ==
Home Assistant OS is designed to operate less like a general purpose computing device and more like an appliance. There is no package manager with which to install higher level firewall tools, and the Home Assistant WireGuard application is unmaintained as of 2026. If you're setting up a fresh Home Assistant installation for the express purpose of exposing it to 44Net, the easiest option is running it as a docker container on a device with a [[44Net_Connect/Single Device Tunnel | single device tunnel]]. If you have a dedicated Home Assistant appliance, such as a Home Assistant Green or a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant OS on {{Term|bare metal}}, the recommended configuration is to put it on a [[44Net_Connect/Routed Subnet | routed subnet]].

For fresh installations using a single device tunnel, it's recommended to configure WireGuard as a {{Term|split tunnel}} by setting <code>AllowedIPs</code> to <code>44.0.0.0/9, 44.128.0.0/10</code>. This puts

== Step 2: Open port ==
Now that your Home Assistant instance and 44Net Connect tunnel are set up, it's time to open the required port in your firewall to make Home Assistant publicly accessible. The default Home Assistant port is 8123, so unless you've changed it, you'll need to open <code>8123/tcp</code> in your firewall. If you're running a single device tunnel with a Home Assistant VM or docker container, it's as simple as opening the device's firewall on <code>8123/tcp</code>. If you have a Home Assistant appliance inside a routed subnet, you'll need to open the port in the router's firewall, and ensure the firewall's rule set allows {{Term|WAN}} devices to initiate connections on that port.

Welcome to the AMPRNet Wiki.

44Net is shorthand for Internet network 44 (44.0.0.0/9 & 44.128.0.0/10), also known as AMPRNet. Since its allocation to amateur radio in the mid-1980s, the network has been used by amateur radio operators to conduct scientific research and to experiment with digital communications over radio. The goals are to of advance the state of the art of Amateur Radio networking, and to educate amateur radio operators in these techniques.

Welcome to the AMPRNet Wiki.

44Net is shorthand for Internet network 44 (44.0.0.0/9 & 44.128.0.0/10), also known as AMPRNet. Since its allocation to amateur radio in the mid-1980s, the network has been used by amateur radio operators to conduct scientific research and to experiment with digital communications over radio. The goals are to of advance the state of the art of Amateur Radio networking, and to educate amateur radio operators in these techniques.

Setting up a gateway on Linux

2023-03-08T23:41:04Z

Airgapped: Link no longer Active, find new link or create.>> "John Martin KF8KK has written a [http://kf8kk.com/packet/jnos-linux/linux-jnos-setup-1.htm Linux - Jnos Setup and Configuration HOW-TO]. "

There are a few different ways to run an AMPRnet gateway on a Linux system. Each has some benefits, so you'll need to pick your favourite.

Before configuring the Linux gateway you'll need to:
# Using the [[Portal]], obtain your AMPRnet IP addresses from a regional coordinator.
# Obtain a public static IP address for your gateway.
# Using the [[Portal]], create an entry for your gateway.
# Get some of your AMPRNet IP addresses registered in the [[ampr.org]] DNS.

= Flavours of Linux gateways =

== Native Linux kernel AX.25 and IPIP tunneling ==

Linux contains the necessary building blocks for a gateway without much added software. Radio interfaces are configured much like any other network interfaces such as Ethernet, they're just given amateur radio callsigns in addition to an IP address (callsign will act the role of the Ethernet MAC address). If you're familiar with Linux configuration but have not heard of NOS, or if you wish to go with minimal amount of moving parts, this would probably be your choice.

Setting up a native Linux gateway consists of two main steps:

=== Step 1: Setting up tunnel routing to the rest of the AMPRnet===
Configuring your Linux system to learn about other AMPRNet [[gateway| gateways]] can be done two ways:

# Automatically learn about other gateways via modified RIPv2 advertisements. Two popular programs to do this are:
## Using [[ampr-ripd]], a C based routing daemon
## Using [[rip44d]], a PERL based routing daemon
# Manually Downloading the [[encap.txt]] file using FTP and setting up routes using a [[munge script]] is the traditional method

=== Step 2: Setting up radio interfaces in Linux===

* [http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/ Linux AX.25 set-up]
* 802.11 WiFi on amateur frequencies (2.4 or 5 GHz) is a new popular way to set up fast links.

== Running JNOS (or other NOS) on top of Linux ==

If you're already familiar with running NOS on top of DOS or Linux, or wish to keep the AMPRnet IP packet routing away from the host Linux system, it might make sense to run JNOS as an application on top of Linux.

The downside is that it'll have a slightly higher overhead (consumed memory and CPU), and you'll have two IP routers running on top of each other instead of just one, which is seen as slightly complicated by some.

The upside is that you'll also get the JNOS BBS-type features, and some other traditional services without installing additional software on top.
