openHABian hassle-free openHAB Setup

Hi @Marcin_Jabrzyk
I don’t think the prebuild image will work as it is based on a specific image for the original version PINE64.
The script however will work. Please see Hartmann’s post above.

Cheers,

The script does currently not support a automatic removal.
You could work it out your self what to remove by looking at the script itself, https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/blob/master/functions/packages.bash#L221.

Please open a bug ticket on this at www.github.com/openhab/openhabian

Same issue here, with the firemot, is there any manual way to fix it?..

Thanks for your input Sebastian

1: Did you run the script from the menu “fresh install” ?
2. True, let’s update the doc.
3. I think this is fixed now, will check it out.

Hi Thom,

are you planning to make a new openhabian image for the Raspberry Pi 4?

kind regards
Michael

We will as time permits. But there’s a number of issues we need to work on first so this will take some months probably.

According to their site, the CPU architecture is backwards compatible.
IOW, current image should work.

Unlikely. Raspberry foundation says RPi 4 needs a new Raspbian base image and advises not to upgrade. So we need to create a new image, and that’ll take time.

Hmm, but installing a Debian distro on the new RPi 4 and maually installing openHabian afterwards couldn’t solve this temporarly?

Possibly. Try for yourself. But the question was on an openHABian image.

Would it make any sense to do the 2.4 image compatible with Rpi 4 ?

It would make more sense to use the Raspbian version provided by Raspberry Pi and then install whatever version of OpenHABian you desire.
The work required for the image would be OS related, not OpenHABian related.
Many people are running 2.5M Milestone release. I am currently running a snapshot.
2.5 will not be released this month due to all the work required.

+1 for that!
RPi 4 (that needs Raspbian Buster) with the 4GB memory would be perfect if you want to include multiple video streams that are CPU/MEM heavy!

Debian Buster has a release date of July 6. Will Raspbian be ready on the same date?

The Raspbian image for RPi 4 is already built from Buster.

openHABian v1.5

We have a new version featuring RPi 4 support and based on Rasbian Buster.
Have a look and enjoy https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/releases/tag/v1.5 :rocket:

It´s currently not possible to install zram beta from the openhabian-config.
The log says that the repository from @mstormi can´t be found.
