FrostyGMRS

After flashing FrostyGMRS_1.x.img to your SD card and booting into your Raspberry Pi, Supermon 7.4, and Skywarn Plus are pre-installed on your FrostyGMRS node.

Follow the steps below to complete setup:

📁 Step 1: Edit /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf

sudo nano /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf

; In the [nodes] section, add your node (replace 1999)
[nodes]
1999 = radio@127.0.0.1/1999,NONE

📁 Step 2: Edit /etc/asterisk/iax.conf

sudo nano /etc/asterisk/iax.conf

; Update the register line with your node and password
register => YOUR_NODE:YOUR_PASSWORD@register.frostygmrs.com

📁 Step 3: Edit /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf

sudo nano /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf

; Only modify the globals section:
[globals]
HOMENPA = (area code)   ; your Area Code
NODE    = (node number) ; your node number

🔄 Step 4: Reload Asterisk

sudo systemctl reload asterisk

📁 Step 5: Configure AMI (manager.conf)

cd /etc/asterisk
sudo nano manager.conf

[admin]
secret = YOUR_AMI_PASSWORD   ; strong secret
permit = 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read   = all
write  = all

sudo astres.sh

📁 Step 6: Configure Supermon (allmon.ini)

cd /var/www/html/supermon
sudo nano allmon.ini

; Replace with your node and AMI password
[1999]
host   = 127.0.0.1:5038
user   = admin
passwd = YOUR_AMI_PASSWORD
menu   = yes
hideNodeURL = no

[All Nodes]
nodes = 1999
menu  = yes

📁 Step 7: Protect Supermon Login

cd /var/www/html/supermon
sudo rm -f .htpasswd
sudo htpasswd -cB .htpasswd <userID>   ; first user from manager.conf
sudo htpasswd -B .htpasswd <otherID>  ; additional users

📁 Step 8: Customize Supermon Display (Optional)

sudo nano global.inc

// Change the items between quotes only:
$CALL             = "YOUR_CALL";
$NAME             = "YOUR NAME";
$LOCATION         = "YOUR LOCATION";

✅ Step 9: Access Dashboard & Verify

http://frostygmrs.local/supermon

📁 Step 10: Configure Skywarn Plus

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/SkywarnPlus/config.yaml

SKYWARNPLUS:
  Enable: true

Asterisk:
  Nodes:
    - YOUR_NODE_NUMBER

Alerting:
  CountyCodes:
    - YOUR_COUNTY_CODE
  SayAlert: true
  SayAllClear: true
  TimeType: onset

Tailmessage:
  Enable: true

sudo systemctl restart skywarnplus

📁 Step 11: Configure Supermon Node Info

This optional file controls weather display and status information on the Supermon dashboard.

sudo nano /usr/local/sbin/node_info.ini

Example format:

[general]
NODE = node_number(s)
WX_CODE = zip/airport
WX_LOCATION = City, State
TEMP_UNIT = F
