Once loaded on the target computer

 

Login: repeater

Passsword: allstarlink

SSH port: 22

User repeater has sudo (root) privileges (sudo -s)

 

If you are trying to login via ssh you will also want to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Use vi editor

 

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config with the following

 

Change:

Port xxx ;new port number

 

Change:

#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password

To:

PermitRootLogin yes

 

 

There may have been updates to the operating system and AllStarLink since this image was built.

Run the following commands after the first time you boot.

 

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade -y

reboot

 

Used copy of apt_rpt *.conf files (at the # prompt run "asl-menu" to setup your node)

 

If using RPi 3 with wifi, then execute wifi-setup at the command line prompt.

Greetings,

After several years of successful Asterisk repeater operation using Centos (node 27610), I have decided to move into the 21st century and update to Debian/Allstar/Asterisk. Sounded like a great project to attack over the holidays. I dug up an identical HP dc5100 PC, same as current repeater controller, for the new system. It has one CDROM drive and many USB ports.

The install .ISO file on the AllstarLink website is too big for a CD, so I created a bootable thumbdrive and forced my PC to boot from that. After the install completes and shuts down, I remove the thumbdrive and restart the PC. It comes up with the repeater prompt, but does not continue the installation of Asterisk. There exists no "asterisk.sh".

I would appreciate guidance on how to proceed.

BTW, the user "repeater" has no privileges and unknown password ("allstarlink" does not work).

Thanks
