[BUG] Install fails on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

[abishur]

Installed Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-Bit) on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Added the Node 14.x branch using: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo bash - Installed Node using sudo apt install nodejs=14.21.3-deb-1nodesource1 (I had to do the =14.21.3 to force it to install v14. Without it even after using the script downloaded by curl it still installed v18.x) Downloaded the latest source code zip file Extracted zip file, entered server folder and ran npm install

It goes well until it starts doing node-gyp rebuild then I get the following error:

I've tried running it as sudo, I've tried a previous release, not sure what I'm doing wrong to have it failing like this 🤔

@abishur have you tried to install via docker? I recommend to use docker. Here is a docker compose you can use:

version: '3.5'

services:
    fuxa:
        image: frangoteam/fuxa:latest
        network_mode: "host"
        volumes:
            - ./fuxa_appdata:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_appdata
            - ./fuxa_db:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_db
            - ./fuxa_logs:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_logs
        environment:
            - TZ=Pacific/Auckland
        restart: always

I'll give that a go. With the docker container is it possible to add in node modules? I was going to try and use the onoff module for use with the raspberry pi's gpio

[MatthewReed303]

You can access the container directly and manually add them as a test, but if you restart docker they will be gone. You can clone the master branch and add the modules you need to the packages and then do a docker build with the added packages.

Another way would be via python and modbus to access the GPIO and modbus in Fuxa to control them?

[abishur]

Using docker got it up and running. If I want to use the onoff module, do I add that to the package.json list in the docker container and run npm install again, or just run npm install -g onoff inside the container?
