I tried installing OpenHabian on a new PI4. On a PI3 it install flawless (same card, tried it two days ago), but on a PI4 is stalls. Tried it now four times and waited three hours. The last log I get is given below, after which there is no response. Is there anything I could try ?

I gave it another try un-commenting preauthkey in openhabian.conf (before the first boot at the same time I set the DEBUG to maximum). Same result. I think this is the full log of the tailscale install is given below:

Sorry! I used block quote instead of preformatted text, I corrected it
Since the preauthkey line is already comment-out by default, I thought I needed to uncomment the line. To be sure I did everything correct I downloaded openhabian-pi-raspios32-v1.6.3.img.xz again, flashed it with balenaEtcher ( 16 G SD card), edited openhab.cfg by changing debugmode=maximum (no other changes since preauthkey is already comment-out) and rebooted the PI4 (cable network).
Exactly same result…?.
(BTW thanks for your excellent package and support, never had problems so far !)
this is why it tries to install tailscale (and probably hangs because the key is bad).
It means the parameter preauthkey is set but that it should not be when it’s commented out.
Search the log for preauthkey where it gets set (somewhere at the beginning) and show the log before.
Try to “not set” with an explicit blank after the hash i.e. # preauthkey=tskey-......
Tried again, both on an old Raspberry Pi 3 and a new 4. I have no clue what’s going wrong, but none of the installs works anymore. To be sure I hard-formatted the SD card before.
The default value in the setup file is without the explicit blank after the hash, but I did remove that, i.e. … # preauthkey=tskey-......…
Below are the parts where I found reference to preauthkey (line 832 of 2383)
+ install_tailscale install
+ local 'installText=We will install the tailscale VPN client on your system. Use it to securely interconnect multiple openHAB(ian) instances.\nSee https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/ for a comprehensive explanation how it creates a secure VPN. For personal use, you can get a free solo service from tailscale.com.'
+ local 'removeText=We will remove the tailscale VPN client from your system.\n\nDouble-check ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and eventually remove the admin key.'
+ local serviceTargetDir=/lib/systemd/system
+ [[ -n 1 ]]
+ [[ ! -v preauthkey ]]
+ [[ install == \r\e\m\o\v\e ]]
+ [[ install != \i\n\s\t\a\l\l ]]
and here (2375 of 2383)
+ setup_tailscale
+ local preAuthKey=tskey-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+ local consoleProperties=/var/lib/openhab/etc/org.apache.karaf.shell.cfg
+ local tailscaleIP
+ [[ -n 1 ]]
+ [[ -z tskey-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ]]
+ [[ -n '' ]]
+ tailscale up --authkey tskey-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The only thing I notice (I have limited programming skills) is that in the last section caps are used in the word preAuthKey.
I am using the default img.xz file, without any changes. I appreciate your help. Any thoughts ?
That did the trick ! Thanks ! It works again. One thing I noticed when I created a new image on my SD card is that there is also a directory called: overlays . I never saw that before. It works, but maybe that are some “leftovers” . Thanks again, I will start rebuilding my system in OH3
