Background

This project adapts the Rocket.Chat server to run on a Raspberry Pi 3

Installation

You can get a Rocket.Chat server and a mongoDB instance working on your Raspiberry Pi 2 or Pi 3 in a couple of minutes with Ubuntu Core 16!

• Follow these instructions to download and install the Ubuntu Core 16 SD card image for your Raspberry Pi 2 or Pi 3
• Perform sudo snap install rocketchat-server. This will take a couple of mintues. Wait about 2 minutes after everything has completed.
• Then, access http://<server ip>:3000 to access your Rocket.Chat server! Create the first user, which will become the server’s adminsitrator. Have fun!

Put your chat server on the Internet for global access

With your Rocket.Chat server up and running, start another shell – typically (Ctrl-Alt-F2) or (Ctl-Alt-F3).

Login, download and start ngrok (see ngrok.com if you need more information):

curl https://dl.ngrok.com/ngrok_2.0.19_linux_arm.zip -o ngrok.zip unzip ngrok.zip cd ngrok ./ngrok http 3000 Now follow the instruction and give the ngrok link to your friends and family anywhere in the world.

They can access your server via the ngrok link.

Enable https:// support for your domain name

If you have a registered domain name and a static IP address for your Pi, you can expose your server on the Internet with automatic SSL support. See this for instructions on caddy (reverse proxy that is included in the installation snap) configuration: https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/ubuntu/snaps/autossl

HINT: if you want to use the voice and video chat features, make sure you give them the link starting with https://

Make sure you are using a Pi 3 (or Pi 2) with these instructions.

Pi Zero, Pi Model B, Pi Model B+, or even Pi Model A can all run Rocket.Chat; but have different CPU, memory configurations and instruction sets that may require some additional work – see FAQ to work with these Pi s.

Our community members are running Rocket.Chat on EVERY MODEL of Pi ever manufactured – so come over to our friendly community hangout if you get stuck.

And YES, Rocket.Chat even runs on the $5 Pi Zero! Making it the first-ever $5 private social network that EVERYONE can afford !

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-raspberry-pi-sms-server/

Before we start

This tutorial will show you how you can set up an SMS server on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, running Raspbian.

We will use playsms and smstools. In my example, I have used a Huawei E3131 3G modem.

Raspbian

First we need to download raspbian, you can grab the latest version at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

Direct url: http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest

Now we need unzip the file: 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.zip:

unzip 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.zip

You will get a file named 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img, this file must be written to your micro-sd card.

If you need to know some basics on how to work with raspberry pi, and writing the image to micro-sd, you could start with reading this tutorial:

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/howto-install-raspbian-on-raspberry-pi/

Write image file to micro-sd card, on my PC the micro-sd card is seen as /dev/mmcblk0 on Linux you can use dd:

dd bs=4M if=2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

• Please note that block size set to 4M will work most of the time; if not, please try 1M, although this will take considerably longer.
• Also, note that if you are not logged in as root you will need to prefix this with sudo.

When the image is written, insert the micro-sd card into your Raspberry Pi, and turn it on.

When the Raspberry Pi is booted, you should see a screen like this, on first startup.

Now I select following options:

1 Expand Filesystem
3 Enable Boot To Desktop/Scratch -> Select Console Text Console, requiring login (default)
8 Advanced Options -> A4 SSH -> Enable
8 Advanced Options -> A0 Update
Finish -> Reboot

Now you can login with following username: pi and password: raspberry.

First we setup the network configuration for our server by editing

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

My /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this (change the setup of your needs):

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.255.50.30
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 10.255.50.1
        dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Now we restart the network service on the Pi:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Then we disable DHCP on startup with this command:

sudo update-rc.d -f dhcpcd remove

If you somehow would like to enable it again later, just run following command:

sudo update-rc.d dhcpcd defaults

Now we can use an SSH client such as PuTTY to connect from our PC to the Raspberry Pi.

Now we update raspbian with following command:

sudo apt-get update &&  apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

PlaySMS

Download and install playsms 1.1:

sudo -s
apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server php5 php5-cli php5-mysql php5-mcrypt php5-gd php5-imap php5-curl
php5enmod mcrypt
service apache2 restart

When asked for the new password for the MySQL “root” user, use a strong password, in this example I have used MyP@$$w0rd

Now we can go to http://your-ip, in my case http://10.255.50.30 ,and we will see a page showing: “It Works!”.

cd /tmp/
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/playsms/playsms/Version%201.1/playsms-1.1.tar.gz
tar -zxf playsms-1.1.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src
ls -l /usr/local/src/
cd /usr/local/src/playsms-1.1/
cp install.conf.dist install.conf
nano install.conf

Copy install.conf.dist to install.conf and edit install.conf

Read install.conf and make changes to suit your system configuration.

I’ve edited the file, so it looks like this:

# INSTALL DATA
# ============


# Please change INSTALL DATA below to suit your system configurations

# Please do not change variable name, you may change only the value

# MySQL database username
DBUSER="root"

# MySQL database password
DBPASS="MyP@$$w0rd"

# MySQL database name
DBNAME="playsms"

# MySQL database host
DBHOST="localhost"

# MySQL database port
DBPORT="3306"

# Web server's user, for example apache2 user by default is www-data
# note: please make sure your web server user
WEBSERVERUSER="www-data"

# Web server's group, for example apache2 group by default is www-data
# note: please make sure your web server group
WEBSERVERGROUP="www-data"

# Path to playSMS extracted source files
PATHSRC="$(pwd)"

# Path to playSMS web files
# note: please make sure your web root path, in this example its /var/www/html
PATHWEB="/var/www/html/playsms"

# Path to playSMS additional files
PATHLIB="/var/lib/playsms"

# Path to playSMS daemon and other binary files
PATHBIN="/usr/local/bin"

# Path to playSMS log files
PATHLOG="/var/log/playsms"


# END OF INSTALL DATA
# ===================

Now Run:

./install-playsms.sh

Press Y if everything looks OK.

Now we want to make sure playsms starts on boot by adding a line into rc.local file.

nano /etc/init.d/rc.local

Add following to the file: /usr/local/bin/playsmsd start
on the bottom of the file (before exit if there’s an exit command).
This way playsmsd will start automatically on boot.

..
/usr/local/bin/playsmsd start

Edit the apache vhost file:

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

My vhost file looks like this:

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/playsms
        
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        
        
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <directory "="" usr="" lib="" cgi-bin"="">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

Now reload the Aapache2 configuration to apply the changes.

service apache2 reload

Then you should be able to access the playsms website at following url:
Go to http://your-ip etc. http://10.255.50.30

You can login with:

username: admin
password: admin

Gateway – SMS Server Tools 3

First we install build tools to build the latest version. Run:

apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0 libusb-1.0-0-dev

Now I have plugged in the Huawei E3131 modem, and I can see it listed with lsusb:

lsusb

lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 12d1:14fe Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

We would like it to be with ID: 12d1:1506, but it’s detected with 12d1:14fe right now.
To change this, we install usb_modeswitch to the system, you can grab the latest version from here:

http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/#download

cd /tmp
wget http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-2.2.5.tar.bz2
tar jxvf usb-modeswitch-2.2.5.tar.bz2
cd usb-modeswitch-2.2.5
make install
cd /tmp
wget http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-data-20150627.tar.bz2
tar xjvf usb-modeswitch-data-20150627.tar.bz2
cd usb-modeswitch-data-20150627
make install

Now unplug the modem, and plug it in again, then run:

lsusb

 lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 12d1:1506 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E398 LTE/UMTS/GSM Modem/Networkcard

Now we got the desired mode: 12d1:1506.

Next we proceed with SMS Server Tools 3.

First we download it, then unpack it and install it.

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/packages/smstools3-3.1.15.tar.gz
tar -zxvf smstools3-3.1.15.tar.gz
cd smstools3
make

If you see an error like in my case, when you run make:

 make
cd src && make -
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/local/src/smstools3/src'
Makefile:51: *** recipe commences before first target.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/smstools3/src'
Makefile:10: recipe for target 'compile' failed
make: *** [compile] Error 2

Then do following:

nano src/Makefile

The problem is a missing tab, now look for:

ifeq (,$(findstring DISABLE_INET_SOCKET,$(CFLAGS)))
override LFLAGS += -lsocket -lnsl
endif

And move the line override LFLAGS += -lsocket -lnsl with a TAB

ifeq (,$(findstring DISABLE_INET_SOCKET,$(CFLAGS)))
        override LFLAGS += -lsocket -lnsl
endif

And try to run make again:

make
make install

Now we create some required folders:

mkdir -p /var/log/sms/stats
mkdir -p /var/spool/sms/{checked,failed,incoming,outgoing,sent}
mkdir /var/spool/sms/modem1
chown www-data:www-data -R /var/spool/sms
chmod 777 -R /var/spool/sms

And then move the original configuration file and download a sample from PlaySMS:

mv /etc/smsd.conf /etc/smsd.conf.dist
cd /tmp
wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antonraharja/playSMS/master/contrib/smstools/smsd.conf
cp smsd.conf /etc/

To make sure I always will use the correct device, I will use a dynamic device file.

Read more about dynamic device files at following URL: http://antonraharja.com/2015/05/14/persistent-paths-for-dynamic-device-file/

nano /etc/udev/rules.d/80-ttyusb-map.rules

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/rules.d/ttyusb-map.sh %p", SYMLINK+="gsm%c"

touch /etc/udev/rules.d/ttyusb-map.sh
chmod 755 /etc/udev/rules.d/ttyusb-map.sh
nano /etc/udev/rules.d/ttyusb-map.sh

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

@items = split("/", $ARGV[0]);
for ($i = 0; $i < @items; $i++) {
    if ($items[$i] =~ m/^usb[0-9]+$/) {
        print $items[$i + 1] . "\n";
        last;
    }
}

Now unplug, and replug your modem, and it should be located at /dev/gsm*:

ls -l /dev/gsm*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 24 01:39 /dev/gsm1-1 -> ttyUSB0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 24 01:39 /dev/gsmmodem -> ttyUSB0

I made some changes to the file, so here is my config, my modem is located at /dev/gsm1-1 replace that with your location.

# Global configuration

#incoming = yes
#report = yes
#queues = modem2

Restart the SMS Server Tools 3:

/etc/init.d/sms3 restart

Verify if SMS Server Tools 3 is running:

ps ax | grep -v grep | grep smsd

Monitor SMS Server Tools 3 log file:

tail -f /var/log/smsd.log

Objective: For Amateurs worldwide to exchange QSO information with as many stations as possible on the 10 meter band.

Date and Contest Period: Second full weekend of December. Starts 0000 UTC Saturday; ends 2359 UTC Sunday (December 14-15, 2013)

http://www.arrl.org/10-meter

The following picture shows CW stations during the contest (in waterfall).

There is no such a thing like aging for the intellectual people and beautiful women. Precious things are not getting old. They just change the appearance, often even more beautiful then before.

In old age, the character and the soul reflects on the face. Its like a hill that was covered with a forest all year long and in the winter when leafs fall off from the trees all you can see is a naked hill with all the details and all the shades.

There are faces that with age get wisdom and something special, something sacral. Some other faces show illness. Some shows a face of the beast – a sign of bad people. In their youth, their character was not showing on their faces because the youth is always extraordinary beauty. In old age, these faces are starting to get a disgusting look. The face becomes horrifying, nasty and violent.

The truth is that the age is not a measurement of how old someone is. You can find young elders and old youngsters. The old age really begins when you loose the enthusiasm. The man who cannot feel a thrill for an idea or another person, he is old and dead. The youth is primarily a sacred fire. Only when this fire goes out, it is a time to lie down and die. The man who loves women never gets old.  Women will never look down to an old man because they are looking something more than a youth. They are looking manhood and masculinity as it last longer than the youth. They are looking someone that knows how to take care of the women. For that reason a “Don Juan” in his fifties can hijack a woman from young “Apollo” in his twenties.

In Rome, they never said: “He died”. They would rather say: “He lived.” People are always terrifying us with our age. Either if we are young or if we are old. When we are young, they say that we are immature for great things, and when we get older, they are saying that we are incapable of great intentions. Nobody knows what anyone carries until his last breath. The Nature, however, reserved the right to have the last word.
