nachoparker Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Hello everyone First congratulations for this project. I just started playing with it recently and I am very impressed. Good job! I am the developer of NextCloudPi, which basically consists on providing Nextcloud images for the Raspberry Pi, but has evolved to other flavours such as docker x86 and docker ARM. It also features many scripts for managing the instance that can be run from a classic whiptail like TUI or a simple web interface. The initial goal of the project is to drive as many people away from dropbox into selfhosting, so there's also a Wizard and I try to ease the process of DDNS, certificates and so on. I am after porting it to more powerful boards, so I adapted my build scripts for Armbian and I would like to share them here. I generated a first version of the SD armbian based image for the odroid HC1/X4, that you can find here. If anyone would be interested on trying this and even better help me adapt it further for performance and polish that would be fantastic The build code that I use to produce it is git clone https://github.com/armbian/build ncpbian cd ncpbian wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/master/armbian.sh -O userpatches/customize-image.sh ./compile.sh docker BOARD=odroidxu4 BRANCH=next KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=stretch BUILD_DESKTOP=no NextCloudPi can be installer on any Debian Stretch system with curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/master/install.sh | bash That script has been tested on Debian x86 servers and also a rock64 (@inos tested it) and an odroid HC1 (and rpi too). Now what I do for the SD images is basically that with a couple adjustments inside customize-image.sh Some issues that I found, maybe you have suggestions the most annoying one: there's about four places where the build process clones from git. There is around a 50% chance that the process will get just stuck there and I have to start over. This means that I sometimes have to try up to five times for the build to finish. Running top inside the container gives 1 root 20 0 21620 5104 2920 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.45 /bin/bash /root/armbian/compile.sh docker-guest BOARD=odroidxu4 BRANCH=next KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=stretch BUILD_DESKTOP=no CLEAN_LEVEL= NO_APT_CACHE+ 9945 root 20 0 4116468 9368 4364 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.16 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /bin/bash /tmp/customize-image.sh stretch odroidxu4 odroidxu4 no 9958 root 20 0 4116468 9500 4356 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.28 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /bin/bash 10356 109 20 0 4659004 106464 14556 S 0.0 1.3 0:01.66 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /usr/sbin/mysqld 13408 root 20 0 4116468 8408 3096 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.10 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /bin/bash 14636 root 20 0 4116468 11312 4452 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.12 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/ncp-update 14668 root 20 0 4116468 9488 4368 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.25 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /bin/bash ./update.sh 18087 root 20 0 4116468 8004 2788 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.03 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /bin/bash ./update.sh 18929 root 20 0 4116468 9928 4776 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.17 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /usr/bin/git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt 18932 root 20 0 4182572 35188 8016 S 0.0 0.4 0:02.04 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-https origin https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt 18936 root 20 0 4182544 12032 4596 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.24 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /usr/lib/git-core/git fetch-pack --stateless-rpc --stdin --lock-pack --thin --check-self-contained-and-connected --cloning https://github.com/le+ 18940 root 20 0 4182544 8980 1416 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /usr/lib/git-core/git fetch-pack --stateless-rpc --stdin --lock-pack --thin --check-self-contained-and-connected --cloning https://github.com/le+ 18942 root 20 0 19948 3652 3128 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.04 bash 18957 root 20 0 38328 3344 2904 R 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 top Also, I had to re-set the root password for installing some packages that use `sudo -u`, such as mariadb, or I get Setting up mariadb-common (10.1.26-0+deb9u1) ... update-alternatives: using /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf to provide /etc/mysql/my.cnf (my.cnf) in auto mode Selecting previously unselected package mariadb-server-10.1.

Not a big deal really but it would be nice to fix it without ugly hacks. It seems like a qemu-user-static issue https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-05/msg02382.html I tested this with my odroid HC1 and I also own a rock64 like this one. Next, I want to try it on the rock64, so what target should I use to build for this board? Thanks, and I hope this is helpful! Feedback is welcome!
nachoparker Posted November 22, 2017 Author Posted November 22, 2017 I noticed the first one on this build. Let's encrypt failed to install because of the git issue mentioned above. We can force reinstall for now with sudo rm /usr/local/etc/nextcloudpi-config.d/letsencrypt.sh sudo ncp-update
tkaiser Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 In case you haven't already you might look through https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/templates/customize-image.sh.template#L35 to get an idea how to workaround or solve some of the issues when installing not in an already running system but from customize-image.sh. BUT... the above OMV installation routine can be considered a proof of concept and also part of a journey (that ended in the meantime -- see last 2 posts here please). Stuff like this should become part of armbian-config/softy.
nachoparker Posted November 28, 2017 Author Posted November 28, 2017 Hi, thanks for the info Well, I tried to build an OMV image using the customize-image.sh template and there were many errors during the build process, and the web interface for OMV didn't show up. Didn't look into that any more. I did notice that the proposed workaround for postfix didn't work, and the package was in an unconfigured state during installation. The most annoying problem is the github one, because the build randomly fails. Maybe I should start a new post on this to give it some more visibility? On 11/22/2017 at 8:32 PM, tkaiser said: Stuff like this should become part of armbian-config/softy. I guess the 'curl installer' could be launched from the armbian menu easily enough. How do you suggest we proceed? it should really be just a matter of adding the 'curl command' in a new menu entry. I have received good feedback from this first test image.

The NCP Nextcloud ready armbian images are now considered stable. What do you think about me sending a PR to include it in armbian-config/softy?

Use branch development - I am doing lot's of changes those days https://github.com/armbian/config/commits/development and I'll test and adjust if needed.
nachoparker Posted May 3, 2018 Author Posted May 3, 2018 @Igor great! I'll create my commit locally in that branch, then generate a plain image for the Odroid HC1, then test it directly in the board, when everything is ok will PR to development branch. Sounds good? 2

But I was stuck, not knowing how to re-initiate the Nextcloud install (like an hour later). I can't just unselect (then quit Softy, hoping the Nextcloud install would return to a clean state), then re-select Nextcloud within Softy (to try a Nextcloud over again). My sense is that this Nextcloud Installer could use some improvement in the way of recovering/resuming from partial installs.

Thanks so much for doing it. I was able to use one of your pre-built images on one ARM board and it worked really, really well. Your text-based config menu for Nextcloud was extremely helpful, especially the backup/restore features. I also loved how I could migrate the data and database folders to an external hard drive (and not have them on a slow MicroSD card). I look forward to more Armbian boards appearing with pre-built images on your Nextcloud Pi downloads page.

martinayotte Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 According to what I see in https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi , it seems that this software is using docker. Since docker is some kind of virtual environment, it is why you have PHP modules "already installed", but inside the docker, they are not present. You should ask @nachoparker some help to figure out how to fix this docker installation or how to add missing packages into it ...

nachoparker Posted November 2, 2018 Author Posted November 2, 2018 Hi everyone NextCloudPi has different variants. There is a docker version, there's the curl installer (the one included in softy), and the SD card versions (and the x86 VM). It seems that something broke with the curl installer. Maybe some packages changed upstream, I'll look into it when I have time. If possible, use the images because each release has been tested. You can use the docker version instead of the softy version in the meantime if there is no support for your board, or even better, you can help me support yet another board Adding a new board is pretty easy, what I need is people willing to briefly test each release (I have scripts for automated testing, there is info in the wiki). https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/wiki/Testing-NextCloudPi
