I have a vps that run both allstarlink and dvswitch the install went well and I was able to connect to asl did a link to Hamshack Hotline and all is working. I also have a iaxrpt connection and I can communicate with both asl and HH 
The usrp driver is loaded and my rpt.conf is pretty minimal.  From the dvswitch dashboard I can see that I am connected to the dmr server I want and I have a TG linked. 

If someone talk on DMR I can ear it on asl, iaxrpt and HH and on the dashboard. But the inverse is not true.

I see not error on any of the dvswitch service. 

As an update to this my version of MMDVM Bridge was very old it wouldn't recognize the Options line.

Hi. Sorry to bring up a thread which is 2 years old.

So do I have to assume that there are no developments regarding changing the time zone in the dvswitch dashboard?

 Jon,
I can tell you I have 2 VirMach VPS running DVSwitch Server without a problem. I am running what amounts to an analog bridge to service DVSwitch clients (DVSM, pyUC and hUC) so, it looks like this:

client <-> Analog_Bridge <-> MMDVM_Bridge <-> Gateway(s) or DMR Masters

I am also running a install of HBlink3 connected to BM via OpenBridge servicing hotspots.
I have done this on Debian 9 and I have also done a in place upgrade to Debian 10.
Does netstat -unap show anything?
netcat helps to troubleshoot some of these type of issues.

You may want to ask on the HBlink subgroup at <https://dvswitch.groups.io/g/HBlink/topics>

Hope this helps,

Has anyone by chance managed to get IPSC_Bridge<->HB_Bridge to run on a VirMach VPS (Elite+ LITE Package) with Debian 9 OS?

I have tried on and off for more than a year to try to get it to work.  Prior to moving the system to the VPS I bench tested it on a RPi running Debian 9 and it worked fine.

I set it up on the VPS, everything runs with no complaints BUT the dmrlink & hblink to not "talk" to one another.  Thinking as I always do... I wonder what I did wrong because the machine is never at fault it is always the human... right?

To prove myself wrong I took the exact same configuration and installed it on a different system, in this case a VM also running Debian 9 and it works fine.  I even replicated the bridge 5 times for different connections and they all have worked flawlessly for over a year.

The VirMach VPS is their low end service, the lowest end service Value+ LITE did not have enough memory (512MB) to load so I bumped up to the Elite+ LITE (1GB) and everything loads fine.

What appears to be the problem is that the internal in IPSC_Bridge fromGatewayPort = 31000 & toGatewayPort = 31003 don't communicate with HB_Bridge ports fromGatewayPort = 31003 & toGatewayPort = 31000

Since the exact same configuration works fine on other systems it would appear that the problem is somewhere in the architecture of the VPS.

Anyone have any ideas or been successful using VirMach for bridging?

I had to do an update and upgrade via apt-get update and upgrade on my p25 to DMR Raspberry pi to get MMDVM Bridge to connect to a XLX reflector it does work but what is this error?

Yes it is  I just pulled it down the other day.  I'm considering trying to find an older version before the multi talkgroup supprt and using that.  Would the P25Gateway disconnecting also drop my MMDVM_Bridge connection though, or are there 2 separate issues?

Good Morning all,

I am having a problem with P25 Gateway stating "M: 2021-02-18 12:32:38.340 Unlinking from 31660 due to inactivity"

P25 Gateway config

[Network]

Port=42010

HostsFile1=/etc/P25Hosts.txt

HostsFile2=./private/P25Hosts.txt

ReloadTime=60

#ParrotAddress=127.0.0.1

#ParrotPort=42011

#P252DMRAddress=127.0.0.1

#P252DMRPort=42012

Static=31660

RFHangTime=120

NetHangTime=60

InactivityTimeout=0

Debug=0

On my other server I was running an older verison of P25Gateway with the options Startup=31660 and InactivityTimeout=0 and it ran fine.  Those settings in this version of P25Gateway do not seem to work either.



As soon as this happens my MMDVM_Bridge is dropping it's link from my HBLink master for some reason.  I do not see anything in the MMDVM_Bridge log files that signify a disconnection from the HBLink master, however I can see in HBLink that the bridge is no longer connected to the Master Stanza.  

First question I guess is would MMDVM_Bridge be dropping this link if P25Gateway drops the link to the reflector?  It seems as though that should not be the case.

Looking for any pointers where to go next.  I dug through every config line by line and can't seem to be finding a line that would cause this.

Thanks,
