arm version ?

[nsteinmetz]

Hi,

Is an arm version of packages planned to install cozy on arm boards such as cubietruck in my case ?

Thanks, Nicolas

Hi @nsteinmetz,

nice to see you here ;-)

We use to have an image for Cubietruck, but we removed it as we have no time to update it. But I think you could easily install Cozy on your board, following our step by step guide. Don't hesitate to come to IRC to ask for help

For now, we are working on a new image for the Pine64 board.

Hi @clochix

Thanks for the warm welcome ;-)

I knew there were one cubietruck image in the past ; I followed the step by step guide as you could see with https://github.com/cozy/cozy-docs/issues/265 & https://github.com/cozy/cozy-controller/issues/107.

Let's see if I can achieve the step by step guide then and hopefully the arm64 image for Pine will allow a arm build too ;-)

Hi @nsteinmetz,

Can you give me more information about your Linux?

lsb_release -a ; uname -a

Thanks.

Hi @nledez

Below the answer:

root@cubie1:~# lsb_release -a ; uname -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian

Just saw via the tuto on rpi2 that you have an armhf repo but it lacks couchdb package:

root@cubie1:~# apt install cozy

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Hi all,

Thanks for response @nsteinmetz :)

Cozy build the CouchDB only for amd64. The armhf is provided by Raspbian.

We not planned to build CouchDB for other architecture.

To explain why, in the past I write this in french: https://forum.cozy.io/t/packaging-debian-ubuntu/1082

For anyone, who is still interested in running cozy on a Cubietruck with Docker:

You only need to replace the base image of the Dockerfile from ubuntu:14.04 to armv7/armhf-ubuntu:14.04 and then build the docker container. I simply forked cozy-docker and edited the Dockerfile. So I was able to build with this command:

sudo docker build -t cozy/full github.com/RobYed/cozy-docker

I tested it and it works so far, although I have to admit that some errors occured while the cozy apps were installed. I have not yet found out whether these errors influence the usage of cozy.
