Pi-star Scraper and statistics using tools like Grafana
Python script to get data from the Pi-Star Dashboard and store it to InfluxDB
you might also be interested in something I set up recently: a script which scrapes the Pi-Star dashboard regularly and puts the data into a database. With this, I have an unlimited activity history and can do nice statistics using tools like Grafana.

Pi-Star security vulnerability
... have you opened it up to the outside world?
My Jumbospot based hotspot had been running continuously for weeks without problems, then I noticed that it had begun hanging most nights. This carried on for a couple of weeks with me trying out various configuration changes without success. Then I logged in via SSH one evening and got a "disk full" error message referring to "/var/log". When I checked, I found that the "auth.log" file had grown to fill the entire "/var/log" partition. Viewing it revealed that my hotspot was under continual attack from the internet - bots around the world were flooding it with login attempts with random user ids and passwords on a range of port numbers and protocols!

Note 1: If you don't want to auto-connect to a talkgroup (when Pi-Star is set up as a hotspot),
use: StartRef=4000;RelinkTime=60;UserLink=1;TS1_1=9;
Note 2: If you turn off DMR Mode via MMDVMHost Configuration, these options aren't saved.
When you turn on DMR Mode again with DRM+ or DMRGateway set as the DMR Master, you'll need to re-enter these options.

JumboSpot or Hotspot Pi-Star RF Power Level
Hotspot PI-STAR RF Power Level
I have a mmdvm open spot and it has a hidden antenna built inside the box. It turned out I could use my HT with 0.5 W 200 meters away!
So I got inside the expert menu, and tuned down the "RFLevel" from 100 to 10. After the change, the communication is satisfactory in my apartment with reduced EMF.

Pi-Star NXDN is OFF Line
My Pi-Star shows Green [Mode Enabled] but Red under [Network Status]
Please wait for CODING CHANGES - PISTAR and NXDN is under development March / April 2018

RX NXDN but NO TX
I hear RX NXDN users but it doesn’t hear my transmissions.
Before I mess with RxOffset I think this is a issue that needs attention first.

With the release of the Pi3 B+ there have been a number of changes to Stretch to support the new board, those changes have not (yet) propagated to Jessie (Pi-Star 3.x is based on Jessie).
However I know a number of you already have Pi 3B+ boards, so I have made a custom image to support these, the kernel is *not* upgradable on this image, please keep that in mind if you choose to use it.
Pi-Star v4.x is built on Stretch, it will support these boards better and apart from a passing resemblance to the current chain, its a very different animal - I hope this beta build will keep you going until we can get 4.x out of the door.

Setup WPA over SSH
How-To for setting up WPA over SSH, for those times when the Web Portal just won't work out for you....
1. SSH into your Pi, using the username of 'pi-star' and either the default password of 'raspberry' or your own password if you changed it on the dashboard.
PI-STAR mobile Free Hotspots
PI-STAR mobile Free Hotspot
My solution for using pi-star at mobile FREE wifi mobile hotspots while travelling
Understood when travelling and maybe using free wifi to connect a hotspot.
Outlined is an example of how to transfer the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file with wifi setting onto a SDcard and moved to the hotspot device. To activate that device on free wifi ie.coffee shop.

I have acquired a Jumbo Spot 17 board to try on Pi Star, there is a sticker on it saying RXOFFSET=500 TXOFFSET=500
P25 OFFSET=+200.
I have put the 500 offset in RX and TX in MMDVM Host in expert mode, but what is the P25 offset referring to ?
It doesn't say TX or RX, there is another RXD and TXD offset setting, does it refer to this I wonder.

Setup URL Pi-Star Digital Voice Dashboard for on a domain
Here are some basic instructions:
Optionally, if you want a domain name, rather than entering an IP address, you need to buy a domain name from someone. There are tons of places to buy one from.

PI-Star Wifi SSID not visible disabled - Hidden SSID
PI-Star Wifi SSID not visible disabled - Hidden SSID
So what I have found Pi-Star does not seem to find the WIFI SSID if it is disabled or if SSID is hide
I'm start working with a raspberry pi and I'm dealing with a WiFi network that is not available everytime. This means that there might be a period of 30 seconds, let's say, during which the network is available and in the following seconds it is not.
Which steps should I take to ensure that my raspberry pi automatically connects when the WiFi network is available?

Pi-star Privacy
As we understand that all hotspots shares the frequency, model, firmware and the IP address that it uses for the connection.
For many this is acceptable.
So a question the creator of Pi-Star interface about Privacy?
