Set up reticulum RNSD on Linux as a normal user, and run as a service

Adapted from: https://markqvist.github.io/Reticulum/manual/using.html#using-systemd

This is my guide to setting up Reticulum Node Stack as a daemon service on a Linux based system.

This has now been tested on a RaspberryPI 3b (running Bookworm and fully updated as of Feb. 2025) and my Fedora41 based laptop. Setup on these systems was very easy; all the required modules are available pre-built in the relevant PIP repos.

However; I have now deployed my permanent setup on a MangoPI MQ-PRO running Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS; this is attached (via USB) to a RNode and serving as a Lora/TCP transport node for my neighbourhood.

The MQ PRO is a very simple machine with a single risc-v 64bit core running at 1GHz, and 1Gb ram. Setting up was tricky but it is now running rnsd very reliably, and autostarts the servie on reboots etc.
See below (and the appendix) for notes on how I facilitated pip to build the cryptogrophy module needed by

Machine Prep

Note; this log was generated on a Pi4 4Gb running from a SSD. However, I also test on a Pi3 Model B+ and a Pi3 Model A.

These Instructions should work for all Pi 3 and 4 models running the Buster and Bullseye releases. Also see the wiki page about Pi installation for more info and notes on how to run LaserWeb4 as a service.

This is nice and easy; node 12 is part of the RPI OS release.
