Raspbian Stretch 2018-04-18... When OS available in PiServer ?

[marc-odp]

My Raspbian OS version in PiServer is 2017-11-29. When will the repository be updated ? The upgrade button is disabled in PiServer. Thanks.

With the current firmware, the pi does not reboot when booted off USB or the network. I'm waiting for that issue to be resolved before pushing out an update.

[marc-odp]

I asked because with my configuration (Pi-Top CEED & Pi 3 B+) screen is blank and Pi-Top support told me it is because of version 2017-11-29 not being compatible with the new Pi 3 B+ model.

If you don't care about reboots, you do can convert the files manually.

wget http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/boot.tar.xz
wget http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/root.tar.xz
/var/lib/piserver/scripts/convert.sh boot.tar.xz root.tar.xz Raspbian_Lite_for_piserver.tar.xz

Can then add Raspbian_Lite_for_piserver.tar.xz from local file in the Piserver GUI. (remove _lite if you want full version)

On a desktop computer running Linux with a SD card reader attached:

• Put your SD card in reader
• Run dmesg and look at last lines to determine which drive it is (e.g. /dev/sdb /dev/sdc etc.)
• Take tarball of partitions.

sudo bash
mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt
tar cJf boot.tar.xz -C /mnt .
umount /mnt
mount /dev/sdX2 /mnt
tar cJf root.tar.xz -C /mnt .
umount /mnt

• Follow instructions above to convert the tarballs to a format suitable for piserver.

Make sure you have working Internet connectivity. And /etc/resolv.conf inside your image contains a nameserver that works (e.g. nameserver 8.8.8.8)

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

If your Debian is very old, it can also be that you need to run sudo apt-key update or similar, before taking an image.

Your image is a print server? Are you sure it is able to run from a read-only root file system? If not, piserver is not suitable for you.

Hi Maxnet, does this method work with raspios too? Which one have I to choose (raspios armhf or arm64)? Thanks...!

[maxnet]

Which one have I to choose (raspios armhf or arm64)?

That is up to you. Think most people are still using armhf.
