[MCARC] Possible MYZ Tower Opportunity

Sat Aug 22 23:17:54 EDT 2020

The way I have seen this done at another installation in the Topeka area is that the RPi at the site is set up with a script or cron job that reboots the RPi every morning at 2 or 3 AM and reconnects itself to the hub. That way the system behind the locked door automatically has a fresh start every day in case something flips a bit.

Even though we can work around not having a routable public IP, I think it would still be our first preference if at all possible. There's a lot Nate can do remotely via SSH if he needs to.

73,

Ken
