Howto run M17 on a pi-star

Beware this is highly experimental and may break your pi-star

Review the changes compared to a regular pi-star:

• /usr/local/sbin changes
• /usr/local/bin changes
• dashboard changes

SSH into your pi-star and run:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nolith/Pi-Star_Binaries_sbin/M17/pistar-install-m17 | sudo bash -

You can review the installation script here.

At the end of the installation you will need to upgrade your modem fw with something that supports M17 (min 1.6.0 for hotspot hats).

You can enable the M17 mode from the pistar web interface and change the default reflector.

A complete config editor is available under the advanced settings.

Uninstall

You can remove the changes made by this script running

sudo pistar-uninstall-m17
