LXMBridge

This script allows users to run a 'bridge' between the Meshtastic network and LXM. When running, LXM clients can send messages to the mesh and vise-versa

If the script is running, you can visit it on the nomad network here: 06fb193ff7c307fc796251fcc66709d2:/page/index.mu

Features

• Allow meshtastic nodes to send messages to any LXMF address (once established, it can be done vise-versa)
• Allow any LXMF node to send a message to LongFast
• Allow LXMF nodes to read LongFast messages

Running

I didn't really intend for anyone to run my script, but if you insist:

Hardware

1. A PC / raspberry pi to run the bridge as our host
2. A meshtastic node (eg, a Heltec V3) connected via serial / usb to the main host
3. (optional, but recommended) an rnode-compatible device on the network

Instructions

1. Download this repo to your server (link)
2. Download the requirements: pip install meshtastic pubsub dotenv RNS LXMF better_profanity peewee git+https://github.com/Aveygo/LXMKit.git
3. Install sqlite3 if you haven't already and create a database:

sudo apt install sqlite3
sqlite3 main.db

4. Create a file with the name: .env, and fill in the following details:

BRIDGE_NAME = "My Epic Bridge"       # Your bridge name here
BRIDGE_SECRET = "1234567890qqwerty"  # smash your keyboard or whatever to generate a key
MESHTASTIC_REMOTE = "192.168.0.123"  # if using wifi, enter the meshtasic node's ip address
# MESHTASTIC_SERIAL = "/dev/ttyACM1" # if using usb, enter the usb port to meshtastic node
BRIDGE_LOCATION = "My beloved city" # name of location in title of the bridge
DATABASE_NAME = "main.db"            # name of local sqlite3 database

5. add to 'load_dotenv("example.env)' in main.py path to .env file, if his not see .enf file
6. Run python3 main.py and copy the delivery destination hash
7. Message the node (the copied hash) \help to get started.
