Updates for v3 stack

[BWibo]

Hey there,

I just tried out to migrate the Gateway image to work with TTN v3 stack. Instead of GATEWAY_REGION you can now specify the TTN API Server URL (TTN_GATEWAY_SERVER_URL).

I tested it with this Gateway and it appears to work:

• Gateway model: https://shop.imst.de/wireless-modules/lora-products/36/lite-gateway-demonstration-platform-for-lora-technology
• TTN v3 Stack Gateway: https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/console/gateways/eui-b827ebfffe42a733

I hope this is useful for you and please let me know if you have any feedback.

Thanks for putting this up. The changes will most likely be generally applicable. Hence, most installations should be able to switch to an updated image.

The larger issue though is that the Semtech packet forwarder (used here) is really old and was never intended for the massive adoption it has actually seen. I argue that people should really start using the Basic Station stack. I was hoping that TTN would document a migration path due to which I created TheThingsNetwork/docs#459 a while ago.

Thx for pointing this out, this sounds reasonable.
Meanwhile, until a migration path with Basic Station is available, I pushed the image for anyone that might benefit from it:
https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/bwibo/rpi-ttn-gateway
docker pull bwibo/rpi-ttn-gateway

Thanks again for providing this interim fix.

Oh, and yes, the updated image is available for pulling
