Seriously, we are a helpful bunch here at Armbian. But we are not your personal help desk. Why don't you try it out?

Thank you. A if i share a directory with docker will immich automaticly see it ? Armbian app verion dont use docker-server or docker-conpose either. So there is config file to edit? Could someone please give me a detailed explanation how can i attach usb storage to armbian-compose version of immich ?

https://paste.armbian.com/ehuwawexih v25.5.1 image (Debian Bookworm minimal) runs on my Cubox i4, but HDMI out is untested ... images were released, only because I manage to spent some time testing and as I found out that build actually works.

Help! I used your overlay, but nothing works for me.

where can i find the official image for tanix tx1?

I also encountered this trouble with image corruption. Here's my small research I've made: 1. This appears to be for newer images witch use GPT schema instead of MBR one. I've tried to flash same SD cards (Transcend 1x A1 & 2x A2 class) with orangepi zero2w image from community support build which still comes with MBR schema and had no trouble at all. I've used Rufus 4.9, USBImager and dd from WSL2 for tests. Whoever, images for orangepi 3b & orangepi 5plus already comes with GPT partition schema and flashing them with any software in all combinations of eject time or way (safe or not) always lead to broken GPT table and initramfs on SBC boot. 2. I'm using WSL2 with Ubuntu 24 LTS and usbipd for linking USB devices. After SD flash on Windows side with Rufus or USBImager I'm attach SD card to WSL2 and check it state immediately (on attach windows side does not see usb device anymore). Here's log of this actions (I'm out of free SD cards so first part with image will be from regular USB flash drive).

Could your team make such a "pull request" ? Could you also drop the github link at the same time ? I shall try making it myself.

PR in this context is a "pull request" on github, you are telling us to pull some updates from your github code base

oh, come on, man! https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=docker+external+directory

unfortunately, we do not have a maintainer for this board, so it gets very little testing

Thank you. How can i add an external directory? Any config file or something?

This is an orange Pi zero with an H3 chip. I can't make sense out of the part numbers. But it's a zero, it is square, it has an ethernet and wifi, and has an H3 chip right on the top of the thing. The device tree says model = "Xunlong Orange Pi PC Plus"; compatible = "xunlong,orangepi-pc-plus\0allwinner,sun8i-h3"; The build I was running is the latest I could find [ 0.000000] Linux version 6.12.35-current-sunxi (build@armbian) (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.38) #1 SMP Fri Jun 27 10:11:46 UTC 2025 So whatever it says in the boot log and in the armbian monitor (which I included as a link in my original post) is what this is. And there is no ethernet or wifi on it, nor has there ever been since I bought it maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Every few years I try the latest build and check to see if that fixes it, and it never seems to happen. arbmianmonitor.log bootmaybeowkring.log

bananaoi-m5, Armbian 25.8.1 bookworm installed I can login via ssh as first user, gene, and sudo -i just fine. Buuuttttttt, at reboot the local screen ask's for the pw for amandabackup, a user lock down tightly which has never had a pw assigned. as its intended to be pw--less for the amanda backup system. What miss-configure can cause this????? Also I ordered 2 more of the keyboard/mouse combo''s which are the same as I'm using with a similar install for klipper running a 3d printer, but the dongle doesn't init when plugged in ack dmesg output, refusing its on discovery assigned address. So no keyboard/mouse is locally possible. I'll unpack the 2nd identical copy and see if its also broken. Switching back to an ultra- micro sized keyboard with a touchpad mouse works fine. And the second keyboard/mouse works as expected. The pw gizmo ask's for amandabackup's pw, I gave it my first user pw which it accepted logging me in normally. So I typed whoami and it responded gene. So wth is confusing the login requester????????? Many Thanks for any assistance. And why do I have to say solved in order to post when its not solved?? Counter productive to other readers.

What a PR is ? Could you be more specific about your suggestion ? In fact, could this module be included into the next 6.15 EDGE build ? CONFIG_RTW88_8821AU=m I don't know if this module is indeed functional (I want to test it). As it is concurrent with Armbian supplied 88XXau for the same hardware, one of them needs to be disabled in /etc/modprobe.d/ either: # cat blacklist-88XXau.conf blacklist 88XXau or # cat blacklist-RTW88_8821AU.conf blacklist rtw88_8821au

That is basically what I have been doing. I reconstructed image/partitions to have bootfs and rootfs separated. Typically format bootfs as simple FAT where you can fix things even on Windows computers maybe when SD-cards. For new fast SBCs I just have many partitions on NVMe where various Linux distros rootfs are and just copy or rename armbianEnv.txt which is then essentially only a UUID of a rootfs. When I know the SBC well enough, it is more the kernel only that matters, so i made a extlinux.conf generator so I can select a kernel via U-Boot serial console. I don't see what A+B brings me as I use Btrfs for rootfs and use snapper to make 'last-known-good' snapshots and also transfer those to NAS or so. If you want totally unattended, then A+B is an option, look at Android as well I would say. But more towards PC like systems, one can put efi bootloader (efi-grub) on the bootFAT, that allows you to select last-known-good more or less if you deploy snapshots. I usually do update in-place, so more like rolling release, but you can also do updates on a new read-write snapshot and fallback if it would fail to boot, see https://kubic.opensuse.org/documentation/man-pages/transactional-update.8.html for example how that works. U-Boot also has options I think to get to last-known-good automatically, but I don't know how that would work. For my stuff at home, it is good enough that I can quickly go back to older snapshot and that works for more than a decade on my PCs, so I do the same on SBCs/embedded, as long as they have a serial console cable (or HDMI,keyboard). For the NanoPi-NEO I also had Btrfs capable U-Boot, so then U-Boot can directly boot a certain rootfs partition, but it is not really default, so I keep an extra bootFAT.

Fresh Orangepi 5 image, this one: https://netcup-01.armbian.com/incoming/efectn/orangepi5/archive/Armbian_25.8.1_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop.img.xz Your setup could be broken to some degree, but hard to tell what is missing.

Getting into buildroot and yocto seems a bit too much for me to get an A+B style update possibility. I would like to stick with the quality images provided by Armbian. The following applies to a NanoPi-NEO3 others SBC might have different partition layouts. From what I understood is that uboot looks for /boot in /dev/mmcblk0p1 reads the boot.cmd/scr and armbianEnv.txt and then boots the kernel accordingly. The armbianEnv.txt seems to point the kernel to the root partition using the rootdev directive. If /dev/mmcblk0p1 would now only hold /boot would it be possible to point to a different partition for the rootfs using armbianEnv.txt? If so I could imagine changing the partition layout to the following: /dev/mmcblk0: /dev/mmcblk0p1: boot partition /dev/mmcblk0p2: rootfs partitionA /dev/mmcblk0p3: rootfs partitionB /dev/mmcblk0pX: multiple more partitions that survive updates Too now allow consistency with the rootfs partitions also the boot partition directory structure would slightly change. It would contain 2 directories: /bootA, /bootB AND a hardlink /boot which either points to /bootA or /bootB In the running rootfs the fitting /boot is mounted via a bind mount hoping normal apt-get updates can deal with this. This would allow creating a rootfs by updating and verifying everything works locally and then creating an image from it. Now to OTA a relatively simple script running from rootfsA can download a new rootfs image/file structure and place it in the partition of rootfsB. Same with the new boot partition just into /bootB. The values of the armbianEnv.txt from the new boot image always point to the corresponding rootfs partition either because the image was already built for this or the script dynamically adjusts them. Same goes for fstab, machine-id, ssh identity and other rootfs specifics. The script will then verify that the write worked to avoid sd card issues. The (almost) atomic operation for switching the systems would be changing the hardlink of /boot to the /bootB directory and reboot. This idea will not detect any boot issues and revert automatically back as uboot is not involved. Also this only works if uboot is still compatible with the new boot files provided. But an additional new uboot image could also be provided during the update. Reverting can be done manually (relatively fast) by changing the hardlink back and rewriting a previously created backup copy of a might be updated uboot image. Independent of the fact that buildroot, yocto, rauc, mender… systems have a better feature set, do you think this could work?

Today armbian-config doesn't show other kernels, it's impossible to switch. * Show only mainstream kernels on the list? => no * No other kernels available! => ok

Yes, I did read that. I was also thinking maybe the decompression on-the-fly could be a point of failure. Just now, I installed USBImager and wrote the image to a uSD. No presets applied (.not_looged_in_yet) First boot went smoothly. I updated with armbian-upgrade and rebooted and all looked OK. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Since I changed 2 things (using USBImager and no presets) I can't say what helped.

You need an overlay for that camera and 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx does not have that AFAIR, older legacy 5.10 has it AFAIR. Look for something called RPi camera v1 or that sensor name.

It would be interesting to compare corrupt and non corrupt cards, including partition tables, etc. Windows might be playing bad with partition tables - if one only inserts ESXi boot disk into windows machine, such disk becomes non bootable. AFAIR this is because ESXi relies on records order in the gpt table of the disk, while windows strips away blank records so that if eg second and third records are blank then windows will move the fourth record to the second place, while ESXi relies on the fourth record in a table. I personally met this issue a few years ago and it took a while to find the solution of reordering gpt table records back to restore ESXi boot.

Why not do a PR and add the needed modules to the EDGE config?

Moved ? where ?

I do agree, that it doesn't. But it looks like Armbian kernel is built with arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc Taken unalignment problem the same flag was used with which the kernel and headers were built. It doesn't help either.
