Has anyone explored the free version of Oracle Linux? There is one that is RHEL compatible.? Be interesting to see if g3 gateway etc would install on it.?
Cheers,?

Good day everyone. With the release of G3.2 supporting Alma 9 as Icom moves away from the EOL of Centos 7, it looks like we need to address the future of g2_link.
I am not a ¡°coder¡±. I can look at code and read it well enough, but I do not know where to begin in a migration from Centos 7 to Alma 9 and g2_link.
Is there anyone in the group that has some knowledge in this vein? Or even knows someone who would take a look at the task?

I believe that Jim has the basics correct, except that I believe that there was a change in the database format so the internal SQL has a good possibility of not working.
That said, I'd be willing to have a poke at it on a virtual machine and see what can be seen.

Re: Installing g2_link on G3 gateway
Hello,
I recently setup a G3 ICOM setup here in Ontario Canada. VA3ODC. I have it fully functional with the G3, dstar+, ircddb. I would like to get a copy of the G2_Link to install on our Gateway here. Its the last piece of the puzzle.
Terry, could I get the instructions and files from you to move forward with this. I appreciate all the assistance.
Thanks,
Chris

I never published the changes I did to KS1R which work. Turns out the best way to do this is to modify the /root/g2_link.g2_lh.tpl. Open the file with your favorite editor.... scroll down to these lines and make this change. The target="_blank" opens up REGIST in a new tab/window.

While installing g_link on W4THM, ran in to a situation where that system used an IP other than the ¡°default¡± 10.0.0.2 gateway assignment. The issue was in the dashboard fs.html generation, the cron command to create and update the g2_link dashboard failed, the command timed out. Sure enough, the g2_lh has some ¡°switches¡± you can use¡ one was a ¡°-a¡± which allowed an IP to be defined. So I inserted a ¡°-a 192.168.1.172¡± in front of the -m and saved it¡ the dashboard was created and now updates just fine.

Did your dstargateway.org SSL expire?
The SSL certificate that Robin AA4RC provides for those gateways that use
the MYCALL.dstargateway.org domain... attached are two ways to update it.
Thanks to William Franzin VE4VR for one of the tools.
