Stuck on install screen?

Configuration
1

Hi! I had an old Raspberry pi 1b lying around doing nothing so I tried to install gladys on it.
After flashing the card with the 32-bit image and powering on the pi I go to the ip of the Raspberry pi and there is a screen that says “We are setting up your gladys installation” Than nothing happens. if I refresh the page, say after an hour I just get that I cant reach the webpage and that the ipnumber declined my connection. Tried a couple of times with same result. What could be wrong and how do I proceed?

Hello. It’s not writen clearly but 256MB of RAM could be insufficient to run Gladys. @pierre-gilles we should update the do in this way

To help you more, can you give us Gladys logs thanks to the command docker logs gladys (could require sudo)?

Hi! Location of the logs after the commando?

4

The command “sudo docker logs gladys” does not give me anything, therefore I wonder where the logs are stored so I can post them here.

5

Do you guys have any suggestions?

6

What does this return: sudo docker container ls -a

Sorry, I was busy. I will have a look to the install steps and give you commands to debug tomorrow.

Hi!
sudo docker container ls -a

Great!!! I suppose this problem would not arise if I had a newer PI but as I had this old PI lying around I thought that I would test it. My goal is not to use it to a lot of things. I ordered a Fingerbot that I want to control with the zigbee protocol so its more like an experiment.
I actually had one Zigbee usb gateway also lying around :grinning:

If you see the gladys container running, it means the installation process went until the end.
When you enter command docker logs gladys, the system is outputting logs into console (standard output). You can find them also under /var/lib/docker/containers/<container>/<container>-json.log

Can you try to stop and start again the container to produce more recent logs ?

sudo docker stop gladys
sudo docker start gladys
sudo docker logs gladys

Hi!
cd docker gives permission denied?
I will try to do a temporary chmod 777 and report back later. Sorry sudo su.

@EnnCee The Raspberry Pi 1 is no longer supported by Gladys due to its outdated CPU architecture (ARM/v6).

Key dependencies, like Node.js in Docker, no longer support this platform.

I recommend upgrading to a mini-PC, such as the Beelink Mini S12 Pro, which is an excellent option at an affordable price (it’s what I use at home!).

For more information on getting started with Gladys hardware, you can read here:

Hi Pierre and thanks for the info.

A really cheap option can be a thin client. I am using a wyse 5060 I got for €10. I added the inside of a stripped down SSD I had lying around.

I have paid ten times that for raspberry pi plus case plus power supply plus usb hub plus memory card etc. and pi tends to eat SD cards.

So, I Managed to get my hands on a Raspberry Pi 3b for approx 30 € on Tradera. Awaiting the delivery and then I think I will be good to go for Gladys :grinning:
