Deploy Charmed Magma Access Gateway
Requirements
The Access Gateway must be installed on an Ubuntu machine with the following specifications:
- Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Linux Kernel 5.4
- Processor: x86-64 dual-core processor (around 2GHz clock speed or faster)
- Memory: 4GB RAM
- Storage: 32GB or greater SSD
- Networking: At least two ethernet interfaces (SGi for internet connectivity and S1 for enodeB connectivity)
Danger
Installing this charm will affect the target computer's networking configuration. Make sure it is installed on designated hardware (personal computers are strongly discouraged).
Info
Some clouds like AWS use newer kernel versions by default. If you want to downgrade your kernel, please refer to the following guide.
Info
For small networks (i.e. 10 eNBs, 10 active subscribers), Magma can produce around 1 GB of logs per week. Most of these logs will go to /var/log/journal. To avoid problems with insufficient disk space, it is recommended to configure log rotation for systemd-journald. For more information please visit Ubuntu manuals.
