Pi Appliance
AllStarLink 3 features a modern appliance of AllStarLink while retaining the ubiquitous Raspberry Pi experience that's well-documented and familiar to the amateur radio community worldwide.
Cockpit Web Admin Interface
The AllStarLink Pi Appliance includes the user-friendly
Cockpit system for ease of administration. Cockpit
is access on port 9090 of the appliance. In these examples
the hostname node63001
is used and should be replaced
with the name you set during setup. If the name
node63001
was used at setup, then pointing a
browser to https://node63001.local:9090/
will bring up
the Cockpit interface. Note: The hostname only works
when your node and your PC are on the same LAN. Otherwise
use the IP or dns name you assign. Login is the username
and password that was setup during the Pi imaging process.
The first connection will report a message that "Your connection isn't private". For the Pi appliance, this is acceptable. Click on Advanced and then Continue to node63001.local (unsafe). This only must be done the first time.
Enter the username and password configured during the imaging process above. Click Log in
Cockpit is fairly intuitive to use, but here's are a few pointers to help get started:
