 +====== FARPN Mesh =====
 +We currently have two mesh projects. The first mesh is Yggdrasil which is an E2EE IPv6 overlay mesh which is Layer 3. Reticulum is the other mesh technology we are playing with. Reticulum doesn't fit neatly into the OSI model; we run it both as a Layer 3 mesh via Yggdrasil and as a Layer 2 mesh via LoRA.
 +
 +===== Yggdrasil =====
 +
 +Install `yggdrasil` via your package manger or per directions on [[https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/installation.html|their website]].  
 +
 +Generate [[https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/configuration.html|a configuration file]] for your system and restart the `yggdrasil` service. Don't just create the file, generate it the right way.
 +
 +One Debian systems that'll look like this -- create the file first in a directory where you have write permissions:
 +
 +  sudo yggdrasil -genconf -json > yggdrasil.conf
 +
 +Note that you can't create this file directly in the ''/etc/yggdrasil/'' directory where the service looks for it.
 +  
 +In the `yggdrasil.conf` file, edit your peers to add:
 +
 +  "Peers": ["tls://ip.n6cta.com:60573", "tls://yggdrasil.clitheroe.ca:23277"],
 +
 +I also strongly advise disabling the multicast interface:
 +  
 +  "MulticastInterfaces": [],
 +  
 +A nice thing for gateway and mesh ops generally would be to also add something helpful here to let us know what the yggdrasil connected thing is like this:
 +
 +  "NodeInfo": {   
 +  "Name": "Chris",
 +  "Peer Type": "Bootstrap Gateway"
 +  }
 +
 +Then copy the resulting file to ''/etc/yggdrasil/yggdrasil.conf'' and start the yggdrasil service:
 +
 +   sudo cp yggdrasil.conf /etc/yggdrasil/yggdrasil.conf
 +   sudo systemctl enable yggdrasil
 +   sudo systemctl start yggdrasil
 +   
 +Check the status with:
 +
 +   sudo systemctl status yggdrasil
 +   
 +If the service failed, check the ''yggdrasil.conf'' file for syntax issues, and check the permissions on the file.  It should be owned by ''root'' and the ''yggdrasil'' group.
