Tag: dx cluster

Here is a list of command’s that i use to install dxspider on a fresh system.

sudo apt-get install wget
sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo groupadd spider
sudo useradd -m sysop -G spider
sudo usermod -g spider sysop
sudo passwd sysop
sudo adduser sysop sudo

Install the perl modules

sudo apt-get install libtimedate-perl
sudo apt-get install libnet-telnet-perl
sudo apt-get install libcurses-perl
sudo apt-get install libdigest-sha-perl
sudo apt-get install libdata-dumper-simple-perl

Simlink and reboot

sudo su
cd ~sysop
ln -s /home/sysop/spider /spider
shutdown -r now

After restart login as sysop

login sysop
cd ~
mkdir spider
git clone git://scm.dxcluster.org/scm/spider spider.new
cp -a /home/sysop/spider.new/.git /spider
rm -rf spider.new
cd /spider
git reset --hard
sudo su
cd /home/sysop/
chown -R sysop.spider spider
find . -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \;
exit
cd /spider
mkdir local
mkdir local_cmd
cp perl/DXVars.pm.issue local/DXVars.pm
cp perl/Listeners.pm local/Listeners.pm
cd local
nano Listeners.pm
- edit DXVars.pm following the instructions in the comments
- edit Listeners.pm to remove “#” from the line for the port, and add additional ports as needed:
@listen = (
 [“0.0.0.0”, 7300],
);

Next create the sysop

cd /spider/perl/
./create_sysop.pl

Next get the us database

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz

The next step can take a few minutes

/spider/perl/create_usdb.pl /tmp/usdbraw.gz
cd /spider/src
make

Let start the cluster

cd /spider/perl
./cluster.pl

On a separate ssh or system console, log into the system as sysop

/spider/perl/console.pl

From the command line of the console enter:

load/usdb # US database ?

Edit /etc/inittab to add the following two lines at the end of the file.
Start DXSpider on bootup and respawn it should it crash.

DX:2345:respawn:/bin/su -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl" sysop >/dev/tty6

Add a line to /etc/services for spider

spdlogin   7400/tcp     # spider anonymous login port

Add a line to /etc/inetd.conf for spider

spdlogin       stream  tcp     nowait  sysop   /spider/src/client client login ax25

Add a node to your system.
Create in the dir /spider/connect a file with the name of the node.

nano /spider/connect/pi1lap-4

timeout 15
abort (Busy|Sorry|Fail)
# don't forget to chmod 4775 netrom_call!
connect telnet 44.137.31.65 7300
'login' 'pi1lap-4'

Chmod 4755 pi1lap-4

Now login to your spider.

/spider/perl/console.pl
