  1. Philosophy behind installations via armbian-config is that install is simple as possible, thus options are limited and hard-coded. Main folder for SW data is /armbian and there you mount additional space, if needed. If this way is not acceptable, you need to go manual way. Installing Redis, PostgreSQL and Immich, then link then together. It will be some work and there will be some troubles.

    You don't need that.

    Most likely unrelated to this problem, but dd does not verify what was written: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#flash-to-sd-card

    Did you try booting with defaults?

    but the hang up at 30 seconds and pulling of power is not ideal.


    Agree, that's not normal. We are seeing some regressions on Allwinner related Crust support to https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/e76540693522baec079ec7633a918a9168ce130c (responsible for low level power management operations)

    I'm not sure what else I can give you to debug that.


    Nothing obvious, no quick solutions based from what is seen from the logs.

  3. Well, I can't tell why USB imager doesn't work nicely. I use it ... sometimes media is not recognized and restarting it usually helps and that is the only problem I experienced with it. For other issues check https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/usbimager/-/issues

     

    There is some note that might be relevant:

    NOTE: forever returning problem: the GTK version works, but the X11 version only shows boxes (or nothing) instead of text. This isn't an USBImager issue, rather X11 fontconfig problem.

     

    Solutions:

     

    Install your distro's xfonts-unifont package to fix (FYI, any other X11 font containing UNICODE glyphs would do).

    If there were no such package in your distro, then download unifont-*.pcf.gz from here, copy it under /usr/share/fonts/misc (or into any other directory listed by fc-list) and execute the fc-cache -vf command to update the font cache. After this USBImager should be able to find and use this font on its own.

    Download one of the uf versions of USBImager. These are bigger binaries because they include Unifont, but in return they don't need X11 fontconfig (nor any X11 font) at all.


    Another alternative tools is RPi Imager.

    You mention that BalenaEtcher can't handle large images


    Issues are known and those were my personal experiences while trying to understand why it doesn't work anymore. This was about a year ago, bug was filed at Balena and it seems they didn't fix it yet. Since nothing happened for months, we simply start recommending other tools. Which might not be perfect either - according to troubles you are experiencing.

    Admittedly, 20 years ago I probably wouldn't have been so patient


    In custom hardware world patience is a requirement - in all directions. Maintainers / developers with users, users with maintainers / developers, maintainers / developers with hardware, users with hardware, maintainers / developers with software, users with software ... :)

    I do need a stable OS

     

    OS is stable, errors you are experiencing are likely related to faulty HW component as @eselarm already exposed. And we would most likely notice such anomaly before it gets to you. There are thousands of users and this is the only report of this kind ...

    community builds and upgrades before they will be released to the public (-:

     

    Boards are going to the market at high rate, while users support remains more or less the same in past 10 years :( 

     

    https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/
    Community builds and their upgrades are untested as size of Armbian can only cope with a small selection of boards we call as "standard support", where we have volunteers behind. Community builds are on Debian / Arch images level, but packed with more features.
    https://github.com/armbian/community?tab=readme-ov-file#purpose-of-this-repository

    For those - Armbian provides build and hosting infrastructure, place to meet - this forum - while everything else is anyone's problem.

    Before It Gets To Armbian

     

    Armbian is Debian or Ubuntu with focus into hardware support.

    https://docs.armbian.com/#what-is-armbian
    Many operating systems in this segment are derived or use Armbian kernel (development & support) maintained by our team and surrounding community. I do agree with your findings, but this is expected in this world. Achieving and keeping full functionality on custom hardware is hard without substantiation investments or big enough crowd of volunteers / random people that knows special stuff. Both is limited.

    I would venture an educated guess that the audio is 1/128 or 1/256 the correct levels


    ALSA is a complex part of engineering that I only understand to some small degree. For most people, including me - is hard to comment. I hope your findings are valuable for someone that knows where to look.

    then someone familiar with the source code, who knows where this is - it would be a real simple fix

     

    Isn't always like this? :) Sadly, in most cases, problems are solved by investing time for research - code / structure complexity is often extreme, also for people that live source code.

    but I can no longer access AdGuard via the browser

     

    I have installed AdGuard

    https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/DNS/#adguardhome

    on a clean Armbian bookworm on some Rockchip device running vendor kernel. Boot logs: https://paste.armbian.com/hibaporove.yaml

     

    Reboot and AdGuard normally works after: https://paste.armbian.com/enomawupip.yaml

     

    It could be some SD card issue. Try - different one.

    I run the config wizard and install AdGuard Home through it

     

    If you didn't use Armbian install method, then check system logs to see what is failing ... Armbian is Debian or Ubuntu from userspace perspective, so it could be some AdGuard install issue.
