<span id="using-main"></span><h1>Using Reticulum on Your System<a class="headerlink" href="#using-reticulum-on-your-system" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h1>
<p>Reticulum is not installed as a driver or kernel module, as one might expect
of a networking stack. Instead, Reticulum is distributed as a Python module,
containing the networking core, and a set of utility and daemon programs.</p>
<p>This means that no special privileges are required to install or use it. It
is also very light-weight, and easy to transfer to, and install on new systems.</p>
<p>When you have Reticulum installed, any program or application that uses Reticulum
will automatically load and initialise Reticulum when it starts, if it is not
already running.</p>
<p>In many cases, this approach is sufficient. When any program needs to use
Reticulum, it is loaded, initialised, interfaces are brought up, and the
program can now communicate over any Reticulum networks available. If another
program starts up and also wants access to the same Reticulum network, the already
running instance is simply shared. This works for any number of programs running
concurrently, and is very easy to use, but depending on your use case, there
are other options.</p>
<section id="configuration-data">
<h2>Configuration &amp; Data<a class="headerlink" href="#configuration-data" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>Reticulum stores all information that it needs to function in a single file-system
directory. When Reticulum is started, it will look for a valid configuration
directory in the following places:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/etc/reticulum</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.config/reticulum</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.reticulum</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>If no existing configuration directory is found, the directory <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.reticulum</span></code>
is created, and the default configuration will be automatically created here.
You can move it to one of the other locations if you wish.</p>
<p>It is also possible to use completely arbitrary configuration directories by
specifying the relevant command-line parameters when running Reticulum-based
programs. You can also run multiple separate Reticulum instances on the same
physical system, either in isolation from each other, or connected together.</p>
<p>In most cases, a single physical system will only need to run one Reticulum
instance. This can either be launched at boot, as a system service, or simply
be brought up when a program needs it. In either case, any number of programs
running on the same system will automatically share the same Reticulum instance,
if the configuration allows for it, which it does by default.</p>
<p>The entire configuration of Reticulum is found in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.reticulum/config</span></code>
file. When Reticulum is first started on a new system, a basic, but fully functional
configuration file is created. The default configuration looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># This is the default Reticulum config file.</span>
<span class="c1"># You should probably edit it to include any additional,</span>
<span class="c1"># interfaces and settings you might need.</span>
<span class="c1"># Only the most basic options are included in this default</span>
<span class="c1"># configuration. To see a more verbose, and much longer,</span>
<span class="c1"># configuration example, you can run the command:</span>
<span class="c1"># rnsd --exampleconfig</span>
<span class="p">[</span><span class="n">reticulum</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="c1"># If you enable Transport, your system will route traffic</span>
<span class="c1"># for other peers, pass announces and serve path requests.</span>
<span class="c1"># This should only be done for systems that are suited to</span>
<span class="c1"># act as transport nodes, ie. if they are stationary and</span>
<span class="c1"># always-on. This directive is optional and can be removed</span>
<span class="c1"># for brevity.</span>
<span class="n">enable_transport</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="kc">False</span>
<span class="c1"># By default, the first program to launch the Reticulum</span>
<span class="c1"># Network Stack will create a shared instance, that other</span>
<span class="c1"># programs can communicate with. Only the shared instance</span>
<span class="c1"># opens all the configured interfaces directly, and other</span>
<span class="c1"># local programs communicate with the shared instance over</span>
<span class="c1"># a local socket. This is completely transparent to the</span>
<span class="c1"># user, and should generally be turned on. This directive</span>
<span class="c1"># is optional and can be removed for brevity.</span>
<span class="n">share_instance</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">Yes</span>
<span class="c1"># If you want to run multiple *different* shared instances</span>
<span class="c1"># on the same system, you will need to specify different</span>
<span class="c1"># shared instance ports for each. The defaults are given</span>
<span class="c1"># below, and again, these options can be left out if you</span>
<span class="c1"># don&#39;t need them.</span>
<span class="n">shared_instance_port</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">37428</span>
<span class="n">instance_control_port</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">37429</span>
<span class="c1"># On systems where running instances may not have access</span>
<span class="c1"># to the same shared Reticulum configuration directory,</span>
<span class="c1"># it is still possible to allow full interactivity for</span>
<span class="c1"># running instances, by manually specifying a shared RPC</span>
<span class="c1"># key. In almost all cases, this option is not needed, but</span>
<span class="c1"># it can be useful on operating systems such as Android.</span>
<span class="c1"># The key must be specified as bytes in hexadecimal.</span>
<span class="c1"># rpc_key = e5c032d3ec4e64a6aca9927ba8ab73336780f6d71790</span>
<span class="c1"># You can configure Reticulum to panic and forcibly close</span>
<span class="c1"># if an unrecoverable interface error occurs, such as the</span>
<span class="c1"># hardware device for an interface disappearing. This is</span>
<span class="c1"># an optional directive, and can be left out for brevity.</span>
<span class="c1"># This behaviour is disabled by default.</span>
<span class="n">panic_on_interface_error</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">No</span>
<span class="c1"># When Transport is enabled, it is possible to allow the</span>

<span class="c1"># the rnprobe utility. This can be a useful tool to test</span>

</div>
<p>If Reticulum infrastructure already exists locally, you probably don’t need to
change anything, and you may already be connected to a wider network. If not,
you will probably need to add relevant <em>interfaces</em> to the configuration, in
order to communicate with other systems.</p>
<p>You can generate a much more verbose configuration example by running the command:</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span> <span class="pre">--exampleconfig</span></code></p>
<p>The output includes examples for most interface types supported
by Reticulum, along with additional options and configuration parameters.</p>
<p>It is a good idea to read the comments and explanations in the above default config.
It will teach you the basic concepts you need to understand to configure your network.
Once you have done that, take a look at the <a class="reference internal" href="interfaces.html#interfaces-main"><span class="std std-ref">Interfaces</span></a> chapter
of this manual.</p>

<section id="included-utility-programs">
<h2>Included Utility Programs<a class="headerlink" href="#included-utility-programs" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>Reticulum includes a range of useful utilities, both for managing your Reticulum
networks, and for carrying out common tasks over Reticulum networks, such as
transferring files to remote systems, and executing commands and programs remotely.</p>
<p>If you often use Reticulum from several different programs, or simply want
Reticulum to stay available all the time, for example if you are hosting
a transport node, you might want to run Reticulum as a separate service that
other programs, applications and services can utilise.</p>
<section id="the-rnsd-utility">
<h3>The rnsd Utility<a class="headerlink" href="#the-rnsd-utility" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h3>
<p>It is very easy to run Reticulum as a service. Simply run the included <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> command.
When <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> is running, it will keep all configured interfaces open, handle transport if
it is enabled, and allow any other programs to immediately utilise the
Reticulum network it is configured for.</p>
<p>You can even run multiple instances of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> with different configurations on
the same system.</p>
<p><strong>Usage Examples</strong></p>
<p>Run <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ rnsd
[2023-08-18 17:59:56] [Notice] Started rnsd version 0.5.8
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Run <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> in service mode, ensuring all logging output is sent directly to file:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ rnsd -s
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Generate a verbose and detailed configuration example, with explanations of all the
various configuration options, and interface configuration examples:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ rnsd --exampleconfig
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>All Command-Line Options</strong></p>

<h3>The rnprobe Utility<a class="headerlink" href="#the-rnprobe-utility" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h3>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnprobe</span></code> utility lets you probe a destination for connectivity, similar
to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ping</span></code> program. Please note that probes will only be answered if the
specified destination is configured to send proofs for received packets. Many
destinations will not have this option enabled, so most destinations will not
be probable.</p>
<p>You can enable a probe-reply destination on Reticulum Transport Instances by
setting the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">respond_to_probes</span></code> configuration directive. Reticulum will then
print the probe destination to the log on Transport Instance startup.</p>
<p><strong>Usage Examples</strong></p>
<p>Probe a destination:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ rnprobe rnstransport.probe 2d03725b327348980d570f739a3a5708

Valid reply received from &lt;2d03725b327348980d570f739a3a5708&gt;
Round-trip time is 38.469 milliseconds over 2 hops
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Send a larger probe:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ rnprobe rnstransport.probe 2d03725b327348980d570f739a3a5708 -s 256

Round-trip time is 38.781 milliseconds over 2 hops
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If the interface that receives the probe replies supports reporting radio
parameters such as <strong>RSSI</strong> and <strong>SNR</strong>, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnprobe</span></code> utility will print
these as part of the result as well.</p>

<h2>Improving System Configuration<a class="headerlink" href="#improving-system-configuration" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>If you are setting up a system for permanent use with Reticulum, there is a
few system configuration changes that can make this easier to administrate.
These changes will be detailed here.</p>
<section id="fixed-serial-port-names">
<h3>Fixed Serial Port Names<a class="headerlink" href="#fixed-serial-port-names" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h3>
<p>On a Reticulum instance with several serial port based interfaces, it can be
beneficial to use the fixed device names for the serial ports, instead
of the dynamically allocated shorthands such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/dev/ttyUSB0</span></code>. Under most
Debian-based distributions, including Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS, these nodes
can be found under <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/dev/serial/by-id</span></code>.</p>
<p>You can use such a device path directly in place of the numbered shorthands.
Here is an example of a packet radio TNC configured as such:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>[[Packet Radio KISS Interface]]
type = KISSInterface
interface_enabled = True
outgoing = true
port = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT230X_Basic_UART_43891CKM-if00-port0
speed = 115200
databits = 8
parity = none
stopbits = 1
preamble = 150
txtail = 10
persistence = 200
slottime = 20
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Using this methodology avoids potential naming mix-ups where physical devices
might be plugged and unplugged in different orders, or when device name
assignment varies from one boot to another.</p>

<span id="using-systemd"></span><h3>Reticulum as a System Service<a class="headerlink" href="#reticulum-as-a-system-service" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h3>
<p>Instead of starting Reticulum manually, you can install <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> as a system
service and have it start automatically at boot.</p>

<h4>Systemwide Service<a class="headerlink" href="#systemwide-service" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h4>
<p>If you installed Reticulum with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code>, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> program will most likely

<p>Be sure to replace <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">USERNAMEHERE</span></code> with the user you want to run <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> as.</p>
<p>To manually start <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> run:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>sudo systemctl start rnsd
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you want to automatically start <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> at boot, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>sudo systemctl enable rnsd
</pre></div>
</div>

<section id="userspace-service">
<h4>Userspace Service<a class="headerlink" href="#userspace-service" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h4>
<p>Alternatively you can use a user systemd service instead of a system wide one. This way the whole setup can be done as a regular user.
Create a user systemd service files <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.config/systemd/user/rnsd.service</span></code> with the following content:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>[Unit]
Description=Reticulum Network Stack Daemon
After=default.target
[Service]
# If you run Reticulum on WiFi devices,
# or other devices that need some extra
# time to initialise, you might want to
# add a short delay before Reticulum is
# started by systemd:
# ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 10
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
ExecStart=RNS_BIN_DIR/rnsd --service
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Replace <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RNS_BIN_DIR</span></code> with the path to your Reticulum binary directory (eg. /home/USERNAMEHERE/rns/bin).</p>
<p>Start user service:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user start rnsd.service
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you want to automatically start <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> without having to log in as the USERNAMEHERE, do:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>sudo loginctl enable-linger USERNAMEHERE
systemctl --user enable rnsd.service
</pre></div>
