[BUG] Fuxa Electron Application not working

[antwal]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Docker Compose

version: "3.9"
services:
  fuxa:
    image: frangoteam/fuxa:latest
    networks:
      - blackhole
    container_name: fuxa
    volumes:
      - /mnt/storage/fuxa/appdata:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_appdata
      - /mnt/storage/fuxa/db:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_db
      - /mnt/storage/fuxa/logs:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_logs
      - /mnt/storage/fuxa/images:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_images
    ports:
      - 1881:1881
    restart: unless-stopped

networks:
  blackhole:
    name: container-net
    external: true

Server:

npm install

Client:

npm install npm run build

App

npm install npm run package

by default the x86_64 version is created in linux via electron-forge; I also tried creating versions for other operating systems and architectures

npm run package (others)

Expected behavior that the electron application worked, with the default settings described, without having to load and configure everything every time. I was hoping you could make it work like the demo so it would be lighter to use on a Raspberry Pi Zero W 2

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Test Default Electron App - Linux Desktop

On Linux desktop it works but it is always empty, it doesn't load the project automatically, if I import it I have to fix something, I save and when I close and reopen the application it is completely empty.

Test Electron App - Mac OS

Test Electron App - Windows 11

on windows it remains blocked and does not start in both cases

Test Electron App - Linux Arm64

I tried the application on: Raspberry Pi 4 4Gb with default image desktop and Raspberry Pi Zero W 2 with desktop xfce now I get the same error and it doesn't start

Environment

• FUXA version: latest
• Node.js version: 16.20.2 (docker image version)
• npm version: 8.19.4 (docker image version)
• Platform/OS: Mac OS 10.15.7
• Browser: Chrome 125.0.6422.142 (x86_64)

I have the same problem too, The electron application does not work on raspberry and windows both generating errors at startup. having compiled with node js 18 as described, I expected the electron application to work

To Reproduce

Run Docker Container sudo docker run -it -v /home/utente/fuxa:/build debian:stable-slim /bin/bash

Build FUXA

  cd /build
  echo "Clean old app"
  rm -Rf ./out
  echo "Update and Install NodeJS"
  apt update
  apt install git curl -y
  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash -
  apt update
  apt install nodejs -y
  echo "Clone FUXA"
  git clone https://github.com/frangoteam/FUXA.git
  cd /build/FUXA/server
  echo "Install Server"
  npm install
  cd /build/FUXA/client
  echo "Install Client"
  npm install
  echo "Build Client"
  npm run build
  cd /build/FUXA/app
  echo "Install App"
  npm install
  echo "Package Apps"
  npm run package -- --arch=arm64 --platform linux
  npm run package -- --arch=x64 --platform win32
  echo "Copy App Archive"
  mv ./out /build/out
  cd /build
  echo "Clean FUXA"
  rm -Rf ./FUXA
  exit

Hi, Thanks for the reports. @rikugun do you have any idea what could be the issue?

[rikugun]

Hi all, Thanks for the reports. when you build with docker , some runtime(like sqlite3) for the server is not correct, try build with native operate system.

[antwal]

@rikugun, now I don't remember what the problem was in the dependencies after various tests, but anyway it couldn't compile some libraries on Mac and Raspberry, Currently I have abandoned the use of fuxa since it works well only on docker but to run it you need at least an rpi 4 with 2gb of ram and the costs are very high today. If I find the test files I'll publish them to you, anyway I remember the problem was on a couple of dependencies one in particular was odbc

[antwal]

@rikugun ok, I found the old screenshots, I attach the problem

I also tried with:

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source --sqlite=/usr

but it still doesn't work

[rikugun]

@antwal , I try on my nanopi. the odbc lib is not support arm64, so you can comment the deps with server package.json.

[antwal]

@rikugun yes I saw that it was not available for arm64, I still tried to remove odbc but the result is this:
