Closed Net ASL Server and associated nodes

I’m looking into creating a closed net ASL server.

Only those who are club members can log in via a node.
Only repeaters with node on the server can log in
Not connected to extant ASL network, but standalone.
Can you configure the active service to a specific non-standard port?

Questions:
Can it be done?
Is the Node software also the server software?
Can the “server” be a Pi (which version) or a PC (only running Debian, not Fedora)?

Thank you

Create a whitelist for your member’s nodes. Here’s the docs for ASL3.

Thank you, that makes sense.

Here’s a newbie Allstar question (but seasoned Linux admin), and may be duplicate in nature:

We plan on using GMRS band radios/repeaters to access nodes. I’m sure the radio hats for Pi’s can handle the freq we pick, but can I use the software disconnected from the Allstar system entirely (i.e., I dictate the node numbers, the IP address of the server, etc.)?

Thanks again!

Yes. There are folks, including GMRS folks doing exactly that. Google around for them.
