    Unable to install Opencloud on new install of Armbian Docker-Unable to find image locally

    in Beginners

    but it cant find a ARMv7 image.

     

    They don't provide images for armhf anymore. Last build was 3 years ago:
    https://hub.docker.com/r/owncloud/server/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated&name=v7
     

    We made a notice that its compatible for amd64 and arm64:
    https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/Media/#owncloud

    but our installer doesn't filter that out yet.

    Official Docker way, it won't work. Try something else, perhaps

    nanopi-r4s, enp1s0 ethernet device not found after reboot

    [ 1.234958] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: PCIe link training gen1 timeout!
[ 1.235032] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: probe with driver rockchip-pcie failed with error -110

     

    PCI support on this SoC has never been fully stable. Patch that tries to mitigate the issue, exists:
    https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.18/rk3399-fix-pci-phy.patch

     

    Not really much we can do more - use a kernel that it works, try current one with few reboots, ... I know its not perfect but we have nobody that can afford investing few weeks trying to fix this. Imagine the frustration if nothing will be improved - which I highly suspect for this case.

    "Armbian Imager" installation fails due to access rights for Microsoft Edge under Windows 11

    in Software, Applications, Userspace

    Posted

    We made several test install on Windows 11 and it always worked ... bugs are possible.

    Should the same issue have been posted here somewhere else, I do apologize.


    Best here:

    https://github.com/armbian/imager/issues

    And add perhaps more information about the OS, hardware, any special settings that might play a role here.

    So if there's already any remedial comment on this available in the Armbian community, please provide the link.


    I don't think there is. As far as I can recall, we haven't see this problem yet.


    Let's ping main developer - if he has any ideas.

    @SuperKali 

     

    But as this is a complex software with possible bugs deep down in some libraries, or even Windows itself - I assume you run with all updates?

    BigTreeTech CB2 no vendor config

    is it missed ?

    Nope. We don't support vendor kernel for other then 3588 and more recent.

    How to compile vendor kernel for MPP support?

     

    We don't maintain vendor kernel for this hardware (nor any other 3566 AFAIK), so it might be some work and its all on you.

    Mainline support is very mature, however I don't know about the status of specific features you are interested in. IMO its not worth going vendor route on this hw.

    Hopefully someone will support this board or providing a newer kernel image


    At this point, the most realistic path is to use hardware that is already officially supported. Bringing up new hardware or maintaining outdated vendor kernels requires significant engineering time and resources. Board enablement is not a small task. It involves ongoing maintenance, testing, integration work, and long-term support. This represents real cost for the project while public project funding is not even on the level to cover response of such ideas. If you are expecting someone will just emerge and spent months of his private time in exchange for: constant insults, hate and complete absence of financial coverage for the time spent (things are never in perfect state to satisfy over-spoiled customers of someone else) ... adjust expectations.

     

    We encourage users to choose hardware wisely - that already has active support and to contribute back to the project when possible. That is the only way we can avoid overextending limited resources, burnouts, collapse.

    Vendor kernel will stay for awhile (this year for sure) as mainline is not on this level yet.

    This part might not be part of the release - you can grab it from nightly release - but most likely it won't have any affect to this topic.

    Timezone for Iceland

    in Framework and userspace feature requests

    But it does not have Iceland at all. 

     

    Armbian config is just a wrapper to system tools that are dealing with this. We only change hardware related packages, the rest is stock Debian / Ubuntu. Is this problem solved somehow in Ubuntu?

     

    Probably the core of issue is originating from here: https://www.iana.org/

    armbian install fails - password 1234 does not work

    bookworm with the same ssh config file is available like a charm.


    So we are perhaps looking at potential changes on SSH app / encrypting introduced in Debian Trixie? That affects certain clients. On Armbian side - we didn't change anything in this regard. 

     

    Eventually we will get down to why this doesn't work.

    Armbian Debian suggestion

    in Off-topic

    2 hours ago, Fabricio Martínez Tamayo said:

    I would suggest removing this


    Problem must be affecting most if not all (Armbian Debian) users in order to be removed. We need to understand why you have problems and we / others don't. If there will be more reports on issues, we will look into and fix them. This is how it usually goes.

     

    And minimal CLI has different networking stack as server / desktop.

    How can I help fund the cost of creating the image

     

    One option is to start a crowdfunding campaign. You can review how previous campaigns were structured here: https://forum.armbian.com/crowdfunding/

     

    As a rough estimate, bringing a new board or image to a sustainable level typically requires around $5,000 just to cover the initial development effort - when dealing with something simple. Running a campaign also gives a clear picture of how challenging it is to secure funding for this type of work.

     

    However, initial development is only part of the cost. To avoid creating another long-term maintenance burden (a “support black hole”), an additional $5,000–$10,000 is usually needed to cover ongoing maintenance, updates, CI resources, testing, and long-term support.

     

    It’s also important to emphasize a general principle: you should ideally choose hardware that is already officially supported, rather than expecting support to be built around hardware after purchase. Supporting embedded devices sustainably requires planning, funding, and long-term commitment — it doesn’t happen automatically.

     

    In short - it’s possible, but it requires realistic budgeting and shared responsibility.

    armbian install fails - password 1234 does not work

    did a new install and 1234 just got me a "access denied" on the first attempt directly after boot 

     

    Trouble with SSH client or failed SD card could explain this. We didn't change anything in this regard. SSH settings are Debian / Ubuntu defaults. We are not altering this.

    I tested latest image on XU4 and - it worked.

    Maybe for YOU!


    Actually not as I am human - I need time and focus to be able to understand what the code does. Same as everyone else. BASH is list of commands and if you are average tech person you can interpret those command, one after another to understand what is going on. AI can help.

    So I can post my questions about it here, then?

     

    You can, but you can not expect that I will answer them. Perhaps someone else will, perhaps nobody. I show you how you can understand it without destroying my brain - I need to look into the code to answer questions ... Its Friday evening here and I already answered at maximum effort.

    Has anyone had any luck with the Radxa Cubie a5e and Armbian?

    Radxa Bullseye image, only with the Armbian Trixie


    Radxa images comes with proprietary vendor kernel v5.15, which we won't integrate for this hardware - Armbian is only made with mainline derived v6.18.y / v6.19.y kernel, which is far from completion. Those SW stacks are fundamentally different. We can produce a Bullseye image, but with a kernel 6.18.y only ... which means identical hardware support as on Armbian Trixie.

    For the most part, all I ever need to do is to copy the working SD image to the eMMC or NVME.

     

    This should work in all cases.

     

    I hope those tips helps.
