router.eu.thethings.network in global_conf.json missing

I have installed my gateway according to instructions. But when I called sudo journalctl -f -u loragw.service it only displayed

The server address in /opt/loragw/global_conf.json was empty. "server_address": "", I had to change it to "server_address": "router.eu.thethings.network",

shouldn't this work out of the box?

Thanks - I was fighting this for hours

For the lazy ones - This should do the trick :) Simply run this when install and configuring is completed.

sudo sed -i 's/"server_address": "",/"server_address": "router.eu.thethings.network",/g' /opt/loragw/global_conf.json<<
