Installation OK but no config .toml to be found

[GrayCygnus]

I followed the steps as indicated, and reached the part of editing the .toml config file. However, it is nowhere to be found...

To complete the installation, update the configuration file which is located at /etc/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer.toml and (re)start the service:

sudo systemctl restart chirpstack-packet-multiplexer

Such folder under /etc does not exist, nor the .toml... I ran a search from root and no results of such .toml... Running chirpstack-packet-multiplexer configfile does print the default configuration shown in the Readme...

Any hints on this one? Running on Ubuntu 20.04. Another colleague tried in 18.04 and had the same issue.

Thanks

Try this example, add or remove as many blocks as you need. Likewise with the gateways you need in each block.

If you built the multiplexer with docker, the config location for the toml file is chirpstack-packet-multiplexer/config/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer.toml.

@ccall48 hey there thanks for the fast response. I think you misunderstood my question.

I'm not asking how to configure, I'm saying that the file /etc/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer/chirpstack-packet-multiplexer.toml does not exist after installation, as the installation steps suggest (and also as the package itself suggests just after you install it, or when using the -help option).

I did not build it with Docker.

It seems that manually creating such directory and .toml and then passing that path with the --config option helps to configure the multiplexer...

However, it's confusing as the instructions, and the command itself suggest a file/location that does not exist nor is created on installation.

Thanks for the config sample BTW :)
