Hi, there is a config setup you need to configure. /etc/thingsboard-gateway/config/tb_config.json you need to specify where you want the gateway to report to ... in my case the TB Server CE . then you need to create a gateway device into the TB Server, get the credential to place it into the file mentioned above. Once you have that... then you should create a dashboard to see if the gateway is connected. it is so tricky, I have spent over a month so far. I can send data and RPCs from TB Server... let me know If you managed to install the gateway using which method, each method has its own difficulty...
