Moving software from Pi to VM

Question

Hello All,

 

I recently purchased the connect bundle from the store and have it running successfully on a repeater (New Baden 625).  I have started a project where I would like to move the software off of the Raspberry Pi and onto a local VM Host where I have installed the ASL software into two separate VMs.  My end goal is to have the myGMRS link go to my GMRS repeater (625) and an ASL node in a separate VM go to my Ham Repeater so that I can have the best of both worlds.  In an effort to ensure that there is zero chance I cross-linking, I wanted to touch base with the professionals here to determine if there is anything other than copying the contents of the /etc/asterisk folder over to the new install and firing things up?  Are there any other folders or scripts that need to be modified to move mygmrs from Raspberry Pi to a debian VM?  I will be running both repeaters on dummy loads until I am certain that there is no possibility of cross-linking.  Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Bob,

 

The main part is the /etc/asterisk directory which has all the config files. As long as you overwrite the ASL ones with the myGMRS ones you should be good to go.

 

There are a couple of extra services that run which would need to be installed under the VM to have the full benefit. One is for adding your node to Node Manager (web-based control of linking commands) and the other is a script that runs every 10 minutes to update your local list of nodes which is basically your whitelist of other nodes that you will allow to connect to you.

 

I can help you set that up once you're ready, we can do a TeamViewer session and I'll show you the steps -- it should take less than 10 minutes.
