Reticulum mesh node setup on Raspberry Pi 4, with NomadNet, LXMF and off‑grid–ready configuration.
This repository documents how to build and maintain a small, resilient mesh node that can run 24/7 on low power, serve local content, and provide messaging over Reticulum.
rawmesh-node is a practical reference for:
- installing and configuring Reticulum on a Raspberry Pi 4
- running NomadNet to serve local Micron pages over the mesh
- exposing LXMF endpoints for bots and direct messaging
- preparing the node for off‑grid use (low power, solar‑ready)
It is not a one‑click installer. It is a set of opinionated steps and configs that you can adapt to your own environment.
The docs/ directory contains:
- system preparation and base OS setup for RPi4
- Reticulum configuration and interface examples
- NomadNet setup and content layout
- LXMF basics for announcements and bots
- notes on off‑grid / solar power planning for the node
As the project evolves, more detailed guides for specific roles (gateway, local hub, archive node) may be added.
-
mesh-guides – Meshtastic EU868 operation guides (PT/EN/ES), focused on radio presets, roles and regulatory context.
Use those guides if you are working with Meshtastic nodes: -
tdeck-guides – device‑specific documentation for LILYGO® T‑Deck / T‑Deck Plus running Meshtastic.
Use those guides for handheld Meshtastic devices:
rawmesh-node focuses on the Reticulum backbone side: always‑on, low‑power nodes that carry traffic and host services for the mesh.
This repository reflects a working setup in Beira Baixa, Portugal, and is updated as the underlying node configuration improves.
Expect incremental updates rather than versioned releases.
