Welcome to DVSwitch
Purpose
1) Allows “local” networking during an outage of the regional national/international network server.
2) Allows a local network operator to “blend” upstream feeds from different Networks (capital N on purpose). These Networks can’t get their act together and learn how to play nice with each other (everyone guilty as far as we are concerned). They may not like people doing this, but the solution is to grow up and work with each other, and not keep trying to force people to take sides.
3) Allows local segregation of localized traffic with more flexibility.
4) Allows experimentation with linking and how it’s done (part 97 specifies experimentation and advancement of the radio art are a core part of amateur radio).
Mission Statement/Position
WHEREAS the Networks continue to be largely islands and are not working together to create a unified network of Networks.
WHEREAS no firm reason has been given by any of the Networks why a *competent* local network operator cannot make this work effectively.
(US ONLY)
WHEREAS 47 CFR 97 (Amateur Radio Service) specifies that a core component of amateur radio is experimentation and advancement of the radio art [97.1(b)].
BE IT RESOLVED the core group of US amateur radio operators and experimenters organized around the DVSwitch project, and in the spirit of USA 47 CFR 97 and its intentions, support the *responsible* and *thoughtful* use of digital voice networking tools to create localized networks that will interconnect to the national/international Networks, and will support users of its tools in order to do this in the most effective and sustainable way possible.

Re: UDP Address issues
JJ Cummings
The commands that Steve gave you only help find the problem, and when you issued the command it shows that MMDVM_Bridge is indeed already running and listening on that port... so now you need to kill that process or stop the service. sudo systemctl stop mmdvm_bridge.service if that doesn't work sudo kill 563 (if you are logged in as root you can omit the sudo)

Re: preparing to edit DVSwitch.ini
right. so i'm wide awake at 5:30am local time and easy to irritate. that's my failing of the moment.
how about a nice yes/no question, then .. the seeming incongruous DMR-type settings in the DSTAR "Partner" stanza means the DSTAR traffic leaving the partner acquires the specified Tags or Labels? yes or no.

Re: preparing to edit DVSwitch.ini
eh?
yes, i'm not an idiot, thank you. i see the word "export" three times. is that like shipping peanuts to Thailand?! that's an "export". if it's not too much trouble, try being helpful.

testing ThumbDV and AMBEserver with AMBEtest4
the ThumbDV does not like 230400 baud, so the running the test looks like this:
$ python2 AMBEtest4.py -v -n -s /dev/ttyUSB0the '-n' parameter changes the baud rate to 460800. to test an AMBEserver (see OpenDV repo -- DummyRepeater/DV3000), first apply this patch: $ git diffAMBEtest4 can't be a client if it is acting like a server and trying to bind to the port. you get "address already in use" because the port has been bound already by AMBEserver. the AMBEserver test looks like this: $ python2 AMBEtest4.py -v -i 127.0.0.1- 27 (base 33) -

Re: ircddbgateway install command line only
just built and installed https://github.com/g4klx/ircDDBGateway on a Ubuntu 19.10 box. it went smoothly.
beware the file debian/ircddbgatewayd.ircddbgatewayd.service as it has "ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ircddbgatewayd" and the daemon gets installed in /usr/bin. there also is "User=opendv" which means the user account need to be created manually, since the install scripts do not create the user or edit the line if you want to run the daemon using an existing regular user account instead. - 4d (base 15) -

apt-file and dpkg -L
did i manage to miss something important or debtool needed another cmdline parameter or something?
after installing a package from the dvswitch repo, apt-file list <package-name> produces no output (that's unusual) but at least there's dpkg -L <package-name> $ apt-file list md380-emu- 23 (base 35) -

Bang Head Here (mine, not yours)
i have two small DVSwitch-using projects in mind. for both projects, i have already obtained permission to connect a bridge.
my first try used the blog post "Hosting an AllStar Node and an AllStarDMR bridge in the cloud" as the basis, and i thought i might be able to follow along and end up at my ultimate goal of bridging from a low traffic BM TG to an Echolink Conference. what i have learned so far is it seems since the time when KV4S wrote the blog post and now, there are no separate allstarlink and dvswitch repositories. it is enough to add just the dvswitch repo, thus:
(now how the heck did the text color and paragraph margin color get set?!)
(i give up trying to use the editor. it messes up when there's more than one blockquote. "Source code" editing it is..) $ apt search libcurl | grep -E "^libcu" i can make no more forward progress. my wagon's axle is lodged on the remainder of a cut-down tree in the road: i am "stumped."

Re: MMDVM Duplicating
#mmdvm_bridge
Analog_Bridge and MMDVM_Bridge usually starts on boot up.
If you want them to run in a terminal you need to stop them. systemctl stop analog_bridge system stop mmdvm_bridge
