openLuup: Turn-key Images & Linux (Aptitude) Guide

I’m afraid my knowledge of Docker is limited…

Thanks for the update, hopefully this was a leaps-and-bounds improvement.

[quote=“dsroberts1945, post:20, topic:191587”]Cudanet, successfully loaded the turnkey image onto my Raspberry Pi 3, no problems to report.

Searching the forum for “openLuup” and “docker” will find a handful of threads which mention this issue (and with some success) including http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,35251.msg260428.html#msg260428

The outstanding problem appears to be finding a way to make the content persistent across restarts… it’s way out of my league, I’m afraid.

Oh, if Airedale has created a Docker, we should be set. I use his Echo Bridge Docker image already. Persistence should not be a problem if you create a directory and specify it when creating/starting the container. (EDIT: I was referring to configuration file persistence, but this looks more complicated.)

Here’s a link for others to reference:

My XU4 has not really got too hot. But I have not used it that much yet. The fan cycles on/off when needed. I’ll say it does have a lot more power than the PI no doubt.

My purpose for getting it was for running openluup. I hope to see it working in the future.

Shouldn’t have to wait too long, I ordered one tonight…

Quick question:

Which version of Jesse is the image (Lite or Full).

I’ve tried to load Weaver, Node-Red and the editor, all return an error:

command not found

Have no idea what I have missed or if this is due to a partial installation vs a full install.

The image is Jessie lite pre-loaded with Weaved (I assumed that what you meant by Weaver). Are you using sudo to install ?
For Weaved you just need to type $ sudo weavedinstaller

See Turn-key_rj8 guide, step [35] for detailed instructions on Weaved configuration…
Do you need node-red since AltUI seems to have this baked in (as a proof of concept) ?

Thanks,
I was using the Turn Key @ Step 35.
This time it worked.

I wanted to see how node-red works, as I’m working towards using a RP2 Z Wave daughter board rather than Vera as the radio.
I also now have a surplus of spare time as I’m off work with a work related injury and need to exercise the grey matter for the next 3 months, I can’t think of a better way. :slight_smile:

Now I see what Weaved does. Didn’t really need it (ATM)

No problem, there are lots of little moving parts to all of this… Just read carefully and plan your next move. Sorry to hear about your injury, get well and let us know if you have any other questions…

odroid (XU4) arrived yesterday, just booted it this morning… Should have an image in the next day or so for download and a guide if necessary… I found a Jessie image so I’ll look at that first then odrobian.

Very cool! Good luck with the XU4.

Image is pretty much done, I need to load the Lua for the backup script than package it, test and then I can host it.
Oh and I need to probably post instructions on expanding the partition…

Did you get the imaged emmc card with your XU4? That uses Debian.

BTW, the Odrobian image may not work with openLuup. I played with it and found something about that since Odrobian actually creates a double boot, there are issues with some linux apps working correctly. But you may know more about this than I do.

Actually no, I have a lot of Micro SDHC cards for testing so I’m using one of those. I’ll take a look at Odrobian later this week when I have time and determine if it’s going to be an uphill battle. The Jessie 8 image I’m using now was different than those for the rPi and x86, I had issues getting Weaved loaded as well as dkjson and a few other modules. However it’s all working well now. I need to document root credentials and user credentials as well some other administrative tasks to secure and expand the partition.

I’ll end up converting this device to a dedicated NAS server, serving up Graphite for my dedicated openLuup servers (running DataYours) as well as a backup LZ. I’ll ditch the Micro SD for an SSD then call it a day.

@bucko

When you received your eMMC, was it accompanied by an adapter so you can load images using a PC ? Please confirm.
It appears they have a modified version of Win32DiskImager for the Odroid so you can load an image:

OK, moved things around a bit so I could add the Odroid XU4 image. I still owe instructions on this but here’s a quick run down of what you can do.

[1] Load the image to the card (eMMC or Micro SD).
[2] Expand the partition (your choice as to how but I’ll supply the Gparted/Virtual Box method).
[3] Load card to the device.
[4] Boot
[5] SSH into the device or start using openLuup/AltUI.

Yes, you pay extra, but it is a Trandsend adapter that is 100% compatable with writing images to the XU4. The Win32DiskImager is also what I use. I have re imaged my emmc about 3 times now with no problems.

In fact once you get an image put together, I will wipe out everything and re image again fresh. I still need to get a VPN working on my XU4 otherwise I cannot connect to Altui.

Image is available now and on page 1. Off to download Odrobian now…
