This section contains everything you need to know to get you up and running on The Things Stack.

Welcome to The Things Stack! In this section, we help you to understand how to use The Things Stack, who makes it, and common acronyms like TTS, TTI, and TTN.

The Console is the management application of The Things Stack for LoRaWAN. It is a web application which can be used to register applications, end devices or gateways, monitor network traffic, or configure network related options, among other things.

Although the web interface of The Things Stack (the Console) currently has support for all basic features of The Things Stack, for more advanced actions, you may need to use the Command-Line Interface (CLI). This section contains instructions for installing, configuring, and logging in with the CLI, so you can use it with your The Things Stack deployment.

This is a guide for installing The Things Stack Enterprise or Open Source on your own hardware, to run your own private LoRaWAN network server.

This section contains instructions to upgrade a The Things Stack Enterprise or Open Source deployment, that was installed using the installation guide. The Things Stack Cloud and Community Edition are updated automatically (you do not need to do anything!)

This guide documents the process of migrating end devices and gateways to The Things Stack.

The Things Industries offers The Things Stack as hosted software as a service (SaaS). This guide explains what that means and shows how to work with The Things Industries Cloud.

The Things Stack is currently available as an AWS CloudFormation stack that can be purchased at the AWS Marketplace, and as a set of CloudFormation templates that can be deployed to build a highly available cluster for large-scale deployments. For getting started, we recommend AWS Marketplace AMI deployment method.

The Things Network is a global collaborative Internet of Things ecosystem that creates networks, devices and solutions using LoRaWAN. The Things Network runs The Things Stack Community Edition, which is a crowdsourced, open and decentralized LoRaWAN network. This network is a great way to get started testing devices, applications, and integrations, and get familiar with LoRaWAN.

To access the Console, register a command line client, connect gateways, or schedule uplinks via webhooks, it is necessary to know the server address of your The Things Stack instance. This section contains information about addresses for different The Things Stack deployments.

Exchange traffic with other LoRaWAN networks via peering to share coverage and improve the overall network performance.

The Things Stack supports OpenID Connect for single sign-on. This section contains instructions for connecting an OpenID provider to your The Things Stack deployment to allow users to sign in with their existing credentials.

This section explains how to manage users and organizations, and how to grant rights over entities.

While we recommend using the Console or CLI to manage your applications and devices in The Things Stack, we also expose HTTP and gRPC APIs which you can interact directly with. This section contains information about using the HTTP API, and examples.

The Things Stack generates lots of events that allow you to get insight in what is going on. You can subscribe to application, gateway, end device events, as well as to user, organization and OAuth client events. This guide shows how to view events in the console and to subscribe to events with the CLI or HTTP API.

This section provides help for common issues and frequently asked questions you may have when getting started with The Things Stack.
