Recommended Posts

After the official release of Armbian 20.11 today I would like to collect feedback if and how the firmware runs on the Helios64.

 

Is it possible to upgrade already or should we Helios64 owners wait?

 

apt-get lists these already...

I upgraded and it's working fine for me.

I have configures iSCSI and replaced about 6 virtual machines by moving their services into the Helios64.

I have to say that PostgreSQL 13 runs very well with the loads being spread across all cores on the system.

Now I just have figure out how to reconfigure the UniFi controller to run either as a docker image or as another service (leaning towards a container at this point).

To activate the network activity led load kernel module ledtrig-netdev and restart helios64-heartbeat-led.service.

 

 

sudo insmod /lib/modules/5.9.11-rockchip64/kernel/drivers/leds/trigger/ledtrig-netdev.ko
sudo systemctl restart helios64-heartbeat-led.service
