quickbox on debian 8 ?

[Titeuf49]

Hello, Is it possible to install the latest version of quickbox on Debian 8? Thank you for your answers

On quickbox.io front page it says the following:

"Before you install! QuickBox supports Ubuntu 15.10 & 16.04 ARM Architecture is not supported, please use standard x86-64 server installs."

PS.: you may have more luck asking in the quickbox forum: plaza.quickbox.io this place is normally for errors/issues with the software.

You can add the following changes to the quickbox-setup script (located at /etc/QuickBox/setup/quickbox-setup) before running your install. Debian is not officially supported as per the README suggests, however, you're more than welcome to give it a shot.

The intro function should be changed from:

# intro function (1)
function _intro() {
  DISTRO=$(lsb_release -is)
  RELEASE=$(lsb_release -rs)
  CODENAME=$(lsb_release -cs)
  SETNAME=$(lsb_release -rc)
  echo
  echo
  echo "[${repo_title}QuickBox${normal}] ${title} QuickBox Seedbox Installation ${normal}  "
  echo
  echo "   ${title}              Heads Up!              ${normal} "
  echo "   ${message_title}  QuickBox works with the following  ${normal} "
  echo "   ${message_title}  Ubuntu 15.10 | 16.04       ${normal} "
  echo
  echo
  echo "${green}Checking distribution ...${normal}"
  if [ ! -x  /usr/bin/lsb_release ]; then
    echo "It looks like you are running $DISTRO, which is not supported by QuickBox."
    echo "Exiting..."
    exit 1
  fi
  echo "$(lsb_release -a)"
  echo
  if [[ ! "$DISTRO" =~ ("Ubuntu") ]]; then
    echo "$DISTRO: ${alert} It looks like you are running $DISTRO, which is not supported by QuickBox ${normal} "
    echo 'Exiting...'
    exit 1
  elif [[ ! "$CODENAME" =~ ("xenial"|"wily") ]]; then
    echo "Oh drats! You do not appear to be running a supported $DISTRO release."
    echo "${bold}$SETNAME${normal}"
    echo 'Exiting...'
    exit 1
  fi
}

to the following:

# intro function (1)
function _intro() {
  DISTRO=$(lsb_release -is)
  RELEASE=$(lsb_release -rs)
  CODENAME=$(lsb_release -cs)
  SETNAME=$(lsb_release -rc)
  echo
  echo
  echo "[${repo_title}QuickBox${normal}] ${title} QuickBox Seedbox Installation ${normal}  "
  echo
  echo "   ${title}              Heads Up!              ${normal} "
  echo "   ${message_title}  QuickBox works with the following  ${normal} "
  echo "   ${message_title}  Ubuntu 15.10 | 16.04       ${normal} "
  echo
  echo
  echo "${green}Checking distribution ...${normal}"
  if [ ! -x  /usr/bin/lsb_release ]; then
    echo "It looks like you are running $DISTRO, which is not supported by QuickBox."
    echo "Exiting..."
    exit 1
  fi
  echo "$(lsb_release -a)"
  echo
  if [[ ! "$DISTRO" =~ ("Debian"|"Ubuntu") ]]; then
    echo "$DISTRO: ${alert} It looks like you are running $DISTRO, which is not supported by QuickBox ${normal} "
    echo 'Exiting...'
    exit 1
  elif [[ ! "$CODENAME" =~ ("xenial"|"wily"|"jessie") ]]; then
    echo "Oh drats! You do not appear to be running a supported $DISTRO release."
    echo "${bold}$SETNAME${normal}"
    echo 'Exiting...'
    exit 1
  fi
}

You'll note the lines for changing are Line 61 and Line 65
