This combination was working in the Drumgeely 40' container but as of Jan 2026 wasn't.
So I started to investigate how to fix it.

Tried to get LoRaWAN gateway working over ethernet. But failed wouldn't connect to Balena. So took it home.
Tried at home with lots of BasicStation images but I could never get the BasicStation code to execute on the RPi4. The Host login always worked. Gave up in the end. Maybe hardware broken? Tried old RAK board from Kilnageer. But same result,

Final attempt is to put old software release on RPi4 and use the VARIABLE settings from the late-meadow gateway which is working in Tola Park. (See above images)
I tried but failed (see below images). So I leave this for now and pack away the RAK2245 with other LoRaWAN stuff and re=use RPi4 to drive a 7" touch display :)
Changed my mind! Decided to work through instructions below using Balena CLI
https://docs.balena.io/learn/getting-started/raspberrypi4-64/nodejs/
Got CLI going but it was just for a "Hello World" webserver
