RAK7393 WisGate Connect Outdoor Services
The RAK7393 WisGate Connect is shipped with RAKPiOS by default, which provides Docker-based service deployment and management through rakpios-cli, the tool that deploys and manages containerized services on the gateway.
RAKPiOS Services
Nearly 40 services are available from a curated catalogue, including LoRaWAN® packet forwarders and network servers, MQTT brokers, databases, dashboards, VPNs, and home automation. Every service is deployed the same way, in a couple of minutes, without writing a docker run command or a compose file.
None of this is specific to the RAK7393, so the full guide lives with the RAKPiOS documentation:
RAKPiOS Service Management covers:
- Docker on RAKPiOS: What is pre-installed and how to check it
- Deploying a service: How to use
rakpios-cli, configure environment variables, and read the post-deployment notes - Managing a running service: How to start, stop, remove, and follow the logs
