RPI Zero installation

[Awakawaka]

Hi. Well I’m currently trying to run TerrariumPi on RPI Zero W 1.1V. I know it’s not supported properly but I’ve seen in closed issues that there are people actually using it so I decided to give it a try. Manual installation have succeeded but after reboot of pi (by the installation script) the TerrariumPi service is not starting. And under the debug process it I have the issues described here #631. I’m pulling from default branch and in installation scripts I can see the fixes you have provided for the mentioned issue. But it seems it’s not relevant anymore.
I’m using Legacy OS Lite so that is not also a case.

Here is my cli screenshot after fresh installation:

Hmmmm.. after installing python-gevent there is another error. Never seen this before:

Service is trying to start but failing:

Additional attempts to start. However, after the restart env is not set with source venv/bin/active

After trying to run with python3 and installing the requested pip packages, I've faced the following:

So I`m officially have run out of ideas:(

This is a somewhat known issue with gevent python library and Pi Zeros. What kind of OS did you install? You need the old lite image which contains Buster OS. Else the installer script will probably not work correctly.

You can always do a re-install by running sudo ./install.sh which should just try again to install it all. After that, you can try to run it in debug mode: https://theyosh.github.io/TerrariumPI/faq/how-to-debug-terrariumpi/

I’m using Raspberry Pi OS Legacy Lite. The same is mentioned in your installation guid. Should I call ‘sudo -i’ before re-installing to be from root user perspective?

I’m using this one

Installed by using official raspberry pi imager.

In addition is it okay to use default branch for the installation? Or should I switch to another one?

[theyosh]

All ok. You have the correct image. Just use the main branch from Github. So that is all normal following the installation.

You do not need to run sudo -i. By running the command sudo ./install.sh will do the same.

So, try the sudo ./install.sh command and then in debug mode running: https://theyosh.github.io/TerrariumPI/faq/how-to-debug-terrariumpi/

I’ll try and get back to you with the result

[Awakawaka]

Well, at least it is running:) (at least in the debug mode)

The actual issue was with bcrypt version 4.0.1 caused the error 'illegal instruction'. So I've installed version 3.2.2.
I'll start checking the workability of the hardware I'm using with RPI 4 and will let you know.

[theyosh]

He, thanks for finding this. I have updated the installer script to fix this. So a next clean install should now work out of the box.

You can start it normally with: https://theyosh.github.io/TerrariumPI/faq/how-to-start-stop-restart-and-disable-enable-terrariumpi/

And you should good to go.

Hi, thank you! I'll test it after I'll finish testing hardware I'm using for my RPI 4 build, like relay or dc18b20. DHT22 is up and running for example. In case I'll find any additional issues I'll let you know. I think more or less you can say that there is an actual support of RPI Zero. Maybe even put ensured devices to work with after I'll show my results here.
