Manually update hosts

Somewhere in the past few days I found a terminal command to update the hosts without running the full update. But I didn't put it in my notes. I'm fairly certain it was in this forum or perhaps the group on Facebook.

Re: Possible bug in configuration Backup/Restore

I've been able to run your fix without any obvious issues. Using it on a second hotspot. I have three.

My SSH client is Windows Terminal. Yes I run Windows 11, because Windows 10 has another year to live. In a perfect world all my software would run in Linux. I've had good luck running Linux hosts ...

Re: Possible bug in configuration Backup/Restore

The other problem is getting the zip file off the Pi. I used a USB thumb drive. Formatted it FAT32 and had to mount it, copy zip file, and then unmount it. There has to be an easier way.

I have a Pi 4 running as a dedicated network drive, but don't want to do the same in a pistar. So far the USB ...

Re: Possible bug in configuration Backup/Restore

It "almost works"! The problem is that the two new files are added to the zip inside a /etc folder which does NOT work on restore. I create a new zip on my PC with those files in the zip / folder which DOES works. I don't know the Linux zip utility very well. I'm sure it's a simple command line ...

Possible bug in configuration Backup/Restore

I've been able consistently reproduce a problem with Backup/Restore. I've have a configuration for DMR2YSF saved to a zip file. Both DMR and DMR2YSF are enabled. I first do a factory reset followed by restoring from the zip file. In every instance the DMR2YSF mode is NOT enabled. Apparently the ...

Re: Add a reflector


I see a new reflector was added in last 24 hours or so. But it wasn't one requested by the OP! 'We' dont manually add reflectors. The list populates at source from the YSF registry. If a new one has been registered with them pistar updates will add it to the host list with it's nightly ...

Yes that's the problem with FCS. The WIRES-X # equivalent changes as new rooms are added or removed. Think of it as a index that starts with the lowest FCS #. That's the problem with FCS...
