octoprint installation is very slow on compiling modules

[soldato]

hi all, 

 

i installed a new build Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.596_Orangepizero_noble_current_6.6.44.img.xz into a new SD card 

 

i upgraded the OS and all was fine.

 

but during the Octoprint install this phase freezed:

 

Building wheels for collected packages: zeroconf, regex, MarkupSafe, argon2-cffi-bindings, sgmllib3k
  Building wheel for zeroconf (pyproject.toml) ... \

 

 

also the other two ssh terminal was freezed but the IP address (wired and wlan) was reachable, no toher SSH sessions was possible.

 

i powered off the board and restarted

 

i tried to reinstall octoprint ( OctoPrint/bin/pip install OctoPrint ) but it is very very slow during compiling phase always here during 

  Building wheels for collected packages: zeroconf, regex, MarkupSafe, argon2-cffi-bindings, sgmllib3k
  Building wheel for zeroconf (pyproject.toml) ... \

 

i restarted again, same issue, i tried to swapoff the virtual memory , the ccl process use one core at 100%

yesterday with the old version buster the installation taken 10 minutes more or less 

 

today one hour is gone and it continues to build.....

the bash shell is responsive, apt also.  

 

the SD card seems to sleep......

Swapoff wasn't successful, got oom killed. Try disabling zram in /etc/default/armbian-whateverthefilewascalledidontremember and reboot.

I assume noble needs more memory be default which is quite common for more recent OS to take more memory than older ones. And with its max at 512M the OPi Zero is pretty limited already.

You can try to add a swap space on the sdcard which isn't recommended but might be necessary to get it to compile. Disable afterwards. Also this will most likely affect build time since sd card is quite slow and swapping consumes time. Also set vm.swappiness to 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf if you want to try this.

disabling swap it is fine now. i compiled wheels and installed octoprint in 10 minutes more or less.....

it is possible to install octoprint in a more powerful ARM (32bit) SBC, then move the project folder with its VENV folder, to a smaller ARM (32bit) SBC, fix something and then run it
