Example 0: Using the Interactive Wizard (Easiest!)

The simplest way to create any configuration:

# Start the wizard
./dvmcfg wizard

# Follow the prompts:
# 1. Choose single instance or trunked system
# 2. Select template (hotspot, repeater, etc.)
# 3. Enter system details (identity, peer ID, etc.)
# 4. Configure network settings (FNE address, port, password)
# 5. Enable/disable protocols (DMR, P25, NXDN)
# 6. Set radio parameters (color code, NAC, site ID)
# 7. Configure modem (type, serial port, levels)
# 8. Optionally add location info
# 9. Review summary and save

The wizard validates all inputs and provides helpful defaults. Perfect for first-time users!


Example 1: Basic Hotspot Setup (CLI)

    "/etc/dvm/repeater3.yml"
)

NEW_FNE="10.0.0.100"
NEW_PORT=62031

for config in "${CONFIGS[@]}"; do
    echo "Updating $config..."
    ./dvmcfg edit "$config" network.address "$NEW_FNE"
    ./dvmcfg edit "$config" network.port "$NEW_PORT"
    ./dvmcfg validate "$config"
done

echo "All configs updated and validated!"

Pro Tips

  1. Always validate after edits: Add && ./dvmcfg validate $CONFIG to your commands
  2. Use variables in scripts: Define common values as variables for consistency
  3. Test with null modem first: Verify config before connecting hardware
  4. Sequential RPC ports: Keep RPC ports in sequence for easier troubleshooting
  5. Document peer IDs: Keep a spreadsheet of all peer IDs in your network
  6. Backup before bulk updates: cp config.yml config.yml.bak
  7. Use trunk update for consistency: Ensures all configs in a system match
  8. Validate entire trunk systems: Use trunk validate to catch cross-config issues
