Thank you very much, your career is a great inspiration to me, thank you for giving so much to the community

Is this working now @rojasyal ? Could you please share what you did?

rojasyal · February 12, 2024, 2:40pm

Hi @mpous, yes it is working,
I did the other deployment using Balena CLI.

Clone the repository to my workplace.
Cd the-things-stack-docker
balena push [Fleet]

Hi @mpous I am going to use node red with an ethernet port, how do I enable the native ethernet port of the raspberry pi and assign it a static IP.

I am using this image on the raspberry pi

mpous · March 11, 2024, 6:54pm

Hello @rojasyal i’m not sure what do you need exactly. Do you need to assign to the Node-RED service to a static IP address? or what’s the reason?

Thanks

On the raspberry I have TTN running, that TTN data is consumed by MQTT to node red, but I must deliver it by MODBUS TCP/IP. The raspberry only has one Ethernet port and I have connected a USB to Ethernet converter. How could you see the IP that it has? I assign to that port.

Hi @mpous I am trying to configure a static IP using the documentation but when making the change in the file it continues with the same IP in balena cloud.

@rojasyal could you please share how are you defining the container?

rojasyal · March 18, 2024, 12:25pm

Hi @mpous, i fixed IP static… i have problem when i want yo use modbus tcp IP It gives me an error with port 502 It tell me thats Is clósed. Enable It in docker compose, unsuccesfully

mpous · March 18, 2024, 12:48pm

What error do you get @rojasyal ? Did you change the docker-compose of the project?

rojasyal · March 18, 2024, 1:03pm

I have no errores but when using port 502 I verified that it is closed

rojasyal · March 19, 2024, 12:34am

Hi, Modbus port 502 on node red is blocked, any way to solve it?

rojasyal · March 19, 2024, 12:39am

Igual para el puerto 18502.

mpous · March 20, 2024, 10:45am

Could you please confirm how do you open port 502 on the node-RED container on the docker-compose or the Dockerfile @rojasyal ?

rojasyal · March 20, 2024, 2:27pm

Yes, I added it in the docker-compose in the node-red port part without success. It’s something I don’t understand that blocks that port in Balena.

mpous · March 20, 2024, 3:23pm

Could you please share the docker-compose @rojasyal ?

rojasyal · March 20, 2024, 6:00pm

yes

mpous · March 22, 2024, 11:21am

@rojasyal could you please build from the Node-RED project?

Thanks

rojasyal · March 23, 2024, 9:44pm

Hi mpous, I am testing the balena node red image and I have the same problem, it does not connect to port 502 or 18502 of modbus, instead I try to do this from node red in its normal version and it works.

rojasyal · March 23, 2024, 9:49pm

so I have the configuration

Modbus
