Installing The Things Stack

This is a guide for setting up a private LoRaWAN network server using The Things Stack for LoRaWAN.

Prerequisites

  1. A server with a recommended 4 virtual CPUs and 16GB RAM running Docker and Docker Compose*
  2. DNS records pointing to your server’s IP address (skip if using localhost)
  3. A license for The Things Stack (only for Enterprise)

This guide shows you how to get everything up and running on a server. If you are comfortable with configuring servers and working with command line, this is the perfect place to start, but first, follow the guides to install Docker and to install Docker Compose.

*Benchmark for 100K devices with 12 confirmed uplinks per day. Your requirements will vary depending on your load and desired redundancy.
