PMesh
Table of Contents
PMesh is my plan for a Reticulum based mesh network across Pueblo and Pueblo West. I'd like to have a series of nodes that provide very basic services.
1. Devices
Devices can be built using rpi-image-gen for standardized deployments.
Turns out the gen stuff is a bit clunky to use. Currently working with this script: Steps to build a VM to get things going initially. Then I have a perl script that installs everything needed.
1.1. Solar
Solar powered devices should be low power and low cost. Battery backup for a day or two of running with no sun. Fully contained.
1.2. PoE / Direct power
These should be more powerful, better antennas, mover coverage.
2. Services
