Describe the problem you are trying to solve

I am not a Linux expert. I am trying to setup SteVe-3.4.8 on a Raspberry Pi 3 running in pre-installed armf Ubuntu 20.04 server. I followed the Ubuntu setup to the compilation process and I successfully compiled the source.

However, it fails everytime I start to run SteVe server. ...

Describe the solution you'd like

Is there a more detailed instruction how to fix the smaller issues like: -setting up wifi connection with DHCP disabled? -setting up main.properties config? -setting up UTC time where it is needed? ...

Describe alternative solutions or features you've considered

An example SteVe server setup might be helpful.

For example, I would like to setup a SteVe server on my device (i.e. Raspberry) with the network details below: RPi wlan0 IP: 192.168.0.15

How would I use this information to setup my RPI as a SteVe server? ...

Additional context

When you say "it fails everytime I start to run SteVe server", what exactly happens? Do you see an error message?

[204maker]

Here's a photo showing it failed to start SteVe server.

I don't have a photo of the log file but I will share it here when I get access to the Raspberry Pi again.

hey, without taking a look at the log file it's hard to say what the cause is.

setting up UTC time where it is needed?

maybe this could help: https://github.com/RWTH-i5-IDSG/steve/wiki/FAQ#how-to-fix-the-exception-mysql-and-java-are-not-using-the-same-time-zone

Here is the log file:

the only reasons i can see why the start would fail if you set not working listen adress or if the folder rights are broken

[goekay]

i don't know how to interpret this log file. there should be more log entries, especially from jetty. there is a big chunk missing which could have been helpful to diagnose.

for comparison, when i build the HEAD of the repo without any modifications, and start and stop steve i see the following:
