Curious if anyone has connected Open Remote to a Meshtastic network, ideally via serial, but possibly MQTT.
Mainly looking for real time tracking of a small vehicle fleet lacking sufficient cellular coverage.
Cheers
I’m not sure with Meshtastic in particular.
Maybe @panos can help out here?
Just a small nudge…
I think it may also be possible to use their MQTT interface - via a host device.
However, it appears to be difficult to change the minimum secret key length from 32 to 30 in Keycloak, or at least manually override it.
The Meshtastic firmware has a hard limit with 30 characters for now, due to their mesh design and competing needs for limited bytes on the over the air side.
Any thoughts on how I might create a service account with a 30 character password, at least for testing.
Still open to serial if easier.
Hey @tandeminvest ,
I haven’t really encountered Meshtastic devices before, so I can’t really help you there.
About the service account password length, it stems from Keycloak, our user management system. One way I’ve seen people work around that, is that they export the Keycloak client to JSON, change the secret in the JSON file, and re-import the client. I’ve seen other users do that but I haven’t tried it myself, so take it with a grain of salt.
Best of luck!
I was looking into your post @tandeminvest on the service account password haha
I did some research on it last friday, since I didn’t know the answer myself.
Unfortunately I was very busy, so I didn’t have the time to find a solution yet. 
I’ll try to find the time this week again, and respond on that topic.
Let me know if you found anything!
I have just reinstalled from scratch after setting up a new instances, with static IP and proper DNS.
At the moment, I’m struggling to get in to the manager (after authenticating) via the fully qualified DNS name, although I can get to KeyCloak at mqtt.fqdns.com/auth. One step forward, two steps back it feels today.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, I’m going to dig in to my current roadblock here, and then get back to trying to solve the password issue.
I will try @panos once I can get to the manager screen again.
Cheers and thank you both thus far!
