Stuck on configure

[Lucetia]

I followed the script instructions on the front page and when it gets to the

"Configuring DelugeVPN, NZBGet, Muximux, and Permissions" line it then says "This may take a few minutes. . . "

24 hours later it is still on this same line with no update. Any suggestions on what might be causing it?

[tom472]

The very next thing that happens requires the DelugeVPN container to have started. Can you verify that your PIA credentials are correct?

Can you start another terminal session and check the contents of the: .env file that should be in the mediabox folder

It is a hidden file so to see it you'll need to do and ls -lah cd to the mediabox folder and then $ cat .env

[Lucetia]

Checked the file and the username and password are correct. Here is everything that is in the file, if it helps (removed sensitive information)

Edit: Scrolling back up I do see this:

/usr/local/bin/docker-compose: line 1: Not: command not found

Could that be causing the error?

[tom472]

Can you see if any containers started up? From the command line can you run this and paste the output:

$ docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"

Just saw your addition -- Can you show the output of:

$ docker-compose -v

[Lucetia]

Yeah, I've been messing around with it and I think it's because the one the main page is linked to is 64 bit and the processor in my machine that I'm using is 32 bit.

Found another method to install it and doing that now. Will update once that is that. So far it looks like my mistake for not catching that when you asked to do the docker-compose-v test on the front page that the error was there then.

Update: After installing the right docker version for the os and rerunning the script it's working now. Earlier when it said it needed to pull the containers it wasn't showing all the ones that it is now.

So looks like it was my mistake as I didn't realize the one on the front page was for 64 bit only.

[tom472]

I'm actually re-writing that line maybe you can test it for me .. can you try this:

$ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep "browser_download_url" | grep -m1 `uname -s`-`uname -m` | cut -d '"' -f4 | xargs sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

That should get the right version for any type of device.

Then run the: $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose command.

(edit: had to escape the inline backticks)

[Lucetia]

Sure. I'll test it out a bit later tonight. Reformatting the OS and starting fresh so I can test it without any interference of the things I was messing with

[tom472]

Gotcha -- sounds good.

[Lucetia]

Alright ran it and it gave me this:

$curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep "browser_download_url" | grep -m1uname -s-uname -m| cut -d '"' -f4 | xargs sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

curl: no URL specified! curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information

[tom472]

Did you happen to grab it before I fixed it to include the backticks in the command?

[Lucetia]

Nope, I think I was too slow when I saw it earlier. The one I saw was that I see now, but apparently looking at what I copied/pasted it looks like it's omitting the `, but it's a copy/paste from what you wrote and it's putting in the `

Sorry my linux knowledge is pretty slim or I'd try figuring out how to debug it on my own

Edit: I tried each part starting from curl to | and when it gets to the last curl is where it comes up with the error. So the problem lies in xargs sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

[tom472]

OK I'll have to work on that command.

Can you follow the two commands here to get docker-compose:

https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/1.25.1

Reminder you will need to sudo that second line with the chmod command.

[Lucetia]

If I do those two commands the first time I typed the:

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.1/docker-compose-`uname -s-uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

It gave me curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 9) and I had to retype it with sudo at the start and it worked.

After doing the sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose I followed it by docker-compose -v and got the same line 1: Not: command not found error. I think it's mainly because their github defaults to install 64 bit rather than 32 bit (armhf).

In order to get docker compose to install I had to replace #3 on the front page with the following:

sudo pip install docker-compose

and then it would start to download. Though if going that route you might need additional dependencies and found it was suggested to do the following:

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev && sudo apt-get install -y python python-pip && sudo apt-get remove python-configparser which was split into 3 different lines, but I just merged it into one. This installed docker-compose version 1.25.1, build a82fef0 so looks like it's slightly behind the branch on their github.

After replacing step 3 was able to continue with step 4 and I'm on the part of the script where it is pulling and launching the containers. Will update as it advances.

Hopefully that will help some? Sorry if it isn't extremely clear as I'm still learning the ropes, but can test further stuff if need be.

[Lucetia]

Alright, now an even weirder issue. I have the device connected to the internet via WIFI and after it starts installing the containers it disconnect my wifi adapters and the system says it can no longer find any. The first time it locked up during startup and I had to unplug and reboot. Did that and restarted the script and it was starting up each container and then as it got done it gave an error for nbzget saying the port was already allocated (was showing two nbzget containers), but after it killed the wifi. Went to try and connect and now it says no adapters until I reboot.

[tom472]

What type of device are you trying to run this on?

I am not sure this project as a whole will work on/for 32-bit systems.

[Lucetia]

What type of device are you trying to run this on?

I am not sure this project as a whole will work on/for 32-bit systems.

Right now I was trying to run it off a Raspbian and prior Ubuntu 16.04 and was struggling to get it to work with either. The processor does support 64 bit, but they suggest 32 bit for it so I might try Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit again and see how it goes. The problem I had with it was just getting a VNC to go as I prefer messing with it that way rather than hooking up another monitor to it.

[tom472]

@Lucetia Are you still trying to get this going? Can I close this issue?
