Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll take a stab at it, tomorrow or on Friday, and see what it looks like.
I honestly had about 0 confidence that we could go from there to :

The mysql-addon repo is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/mysql-addon and according to that repo naming convention also the others.
The sftp addon is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docker-sftp (not sure why that repo name ended up like it is)
On a side topic, does anyone know of some good naming convention for docker images when it comes to supporting multi-arch?
For example:
cloudron/mysql-amd64:2.3.1
(amd64)
cloudron/mysql-arm64:2.3.1
(arm64) -

I think the preferred way is to not have the architecture in the name or tag, but rather populate the manifest properly: https://www.docker.com/blog/multi-arch-build-and-images-the-simple-way/
-
@malvim we build images manually using docker build and push them out. When building you have to tag it locally as cloudron/mysqladdontest (just
docker build -t cloudron/mysqladdontest
.). Do the tests work? -
@nebulon thanks! I was able to find most of them, but still missing graphite, turn and mail. Are those regular docker containers as well, and if so, are their dockerfiles published on git.cloudron? A search for those terms did not yield any meaningfule results for me.
On your side topic: I went looking for the arm64 version of the base ubuntu image, and it's published as multi-platform, so I guess there's no need to publish under another name, like @fbartels already answered. What I did have to do, though, was to strip the sha256 hash from the
FROM
statement. When I tried building on the rpi keeping the hash, docker selected the amd64 version of the image. Not sure how we'd go about making sure the image passes the integrity check (which I assume is why the has is there in the first place) while also being able to build for different architectures.@mehdi Man, I appreciate it! It was almost about a month just to get my hands on one, then weird networking stuff, trying to sneak in a few hours of banging on this problem in between work... Haha! A lot of fun though! So thanks for the kudos, they're highly appreciated, especially coming from you!
@girish yeah, I'm publishing to a private docker container (which I packaged together with verdaccio in a custom app just to have docker and npm private registers haha), so that part is good, I'm tagging them pointing to it and it's all good.
Haven't run the tests yet, though.
-
Okay, so another question: Do we depend on mongodb being 4.0, or can we upgrade it to 4.2?
It seems mongodb 4.0 on arm64 only has support for ubuntu 16.04 (as per https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/production-notes/)
-
https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/turn-addon is the turn addon and https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docker-graphite/ is graphite (the names are a bit here and there). The mail server is not open, I have sent you an invite though.
-
@girish Thanks, I'll check them out!
-
@malvim said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:
Okay, so another question: Do we depend on mongodb being 4.0, or can we upgrade it to 4.2?
yeah, we can bump it. But it requires the usual round of testing against all apps.
-
@girish Cool. I'll bump it to 4.2 (4.4 needs ubuntu 20.04) and keep pushing hehehe. I'll ping people here when I have something we can run tests on.
-
@malvim Are you using buildx? We bumped 5.6.2 to have docker 19 so we can have buildx
-
@girish Not yet, I tried installing it for cross-platform building, but had some errors and didn't want to waste time, so I'm now just building the images from the pi itself. Later today I might have to start using it again for installing cloudron, so that might become enought of a hassle that I try again.
Anyone here with experience building for other architectures using buildx?
-
Hey, all.
Happy to say this is now going on on my raspberry pi:
I have NO idea wheter stuff is really working hahaha.
I'll probably choose a simple app and build it for arm64, then try to install it from command line and run tests, maybe?Not sure how to run tests against addons, or even apps. Is there some documentation around about this? @girish, could you point me somewhere? Thanks!
-
@malvim Wow, that's some incredible progress! If the status indicator is green, it's pretty sure that the addon containers are responding to health checks!
For the test for the addons, there is a test/ inside the repo of each addon. You can just do
npm install
andnpm test
. -
To be clearer, like this (say with postgres addon). The tests will always test the latest
cloudron/{addonname}test

-
@malvim Our e2e tests use this app - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/test-app . You can just build it like any other app and deploy it on Cloudron.
-
Hey, @girish!
So I was trying to run the tests on the raspberry pi, had some failures, but they're also failing on my regular amd64 laptop with ubuntu, so I'm not sure what's going on.
I tried specifically the postgresql addon like you mentioned, with no changes, the
auth
andadd database
tests pass, but I always get a timeout on theremove database
test, every time. Mail and sftp addon also fail at different points, so I'm not trusting the failed tests on the rpi.I thought about trying to run the tests on my production cloudron server, but not sure I should.
Have you ever been through this?
-
I think ARM is the future so I'll be following this thread, love what I'm reading so far. Good stuff.
@malvim But if your test is failing on x86 and ARM, it probably isn't a CPU related issue IMO.
-
@Lonk Yup, those are my thoughts as well. The thing is, it seems the devs are able to run the tests themselves, so it seems there are no obvious problems anywhere heheh.
-
Okay, so I ran the tests on my production cloudron and they all passed. It seems they don't run on a regular machine previously to installing cloudron? Is that true? And SHOULD they? Maybe I'm testing it wrong heheh.
But it would be nice if we could just run the tests outside of any cloudron installation, so I could test the images themselves, separately, on arm64 before going with another full install.
What do you guys say?

Your steps for testing it on local are different right? Since production is already running. What are your testing steps in each scenario?

I'd say that's possible. We could just use Docker itself? That's what I do locally.
Anyway, what Rasberry Pi are you developing this on? I'll go run out and get one to see if I run into similar issues.
️ Very interested in Cloudron on ARM in 2030!

Yeah, I'm doing what @girish outlined in his latest response in this thread: clone an addon repo,
docker build
the image tagging it with whatever name the test runner uses (cloudron/postgresqladdontest
in this case),npm install
andnpm test
.It turns out I'm getting failures in all that I've tried so far, so I don't feel comfortable saying I "have successfully built the images" when I can't run the tests. But I can't run them on my laptop as well, so who knows? Haha!

I had never played with one till this year, they're fun! I got the latest model, the Raspberry Pi 4. Powerful little thing! It'd be great to have another pair of hands on this.
-
@malvim We never run tests on the Cloudron itself, only on the laptop! Can you give the output of the
npm test
command? What is the error? -
@malvim Well, consider yourself not alone in this endeavor! I'd love to help and am very interested in porting this to arm. Depends on the number of dependencies from the base image as well as Cloudron itself.
I'll post back here when I get my Raspberry Pi; I'm excited!

Hey, @girish!
This is the output, and it just hangs after that and never exits. This happens on my laptop and on another machine I used for testing purposes. On my Cloudron, these tests passed and only the last one failed, the backup/restore one iirc.

It's really not. This happens because the test always tries to remove the currentl running postgresql container before running the tests, so the first time you run, the container is not running and you get this message. Still runs the tests and some of them work.
-
@malvim ok thanks, otherwise it looks like it's missing
..which would partially explain the timeout..

Is there anything in

Is it getting the token last when it should be getting it first in
auth
? I've gotta re-read this whole threadcause I'm missing what this unit test even is supposed to prove. That one module could run in a Cloudron environment?

So, could anyone here just try and run tests for addons on their machines, without any cloudron-related stuff, then just clone an addon and try to test it?
I've ran tests on my laptop, and on a server I have access to that doesn't run cloudron, and both of them time out in the same place.
DON'T RUN this tests on your production cloudron like I did, it will delete and recreate your postgresql (or whatever addon you're trying to use) and apps will go down heheh. I had to restore a couple of apps' backups, but it's all good now.
-
@malvim Maybe you can try to see if the mysql addon tests work in the meantime?
I ran the postgresl tests now and it did work for me:

Hey, @girish
Mysql addon tests run perfectly on all three machines (laptop, server, pi)!
I'm having failing tests on mail and sftp addons, and this hanging problem with postgresql. All behaviors are the same on the three machines, which is a... good thing, I guess? Haha! I'll try the others and see where they go.
Couldn't download graphite, though, says I don't have permission rights.
-
@malvim The mail tests are kind of hard to run, they also require a special setup with DNS/Docker. We can skip that for now. Mongo and redis tests work too? That's really good progress then. Can you tell me what you face with the sftp addon? You might need the latest "build" of sftp since I really just fixed the test 2-3 days ago.
-
Hey,
It's a bit past midnight here and I've JUST realized my laptop doesn't have ssh HOST keys (I never ssh into it), and the test mounts the host's
/etc/ssh
directory into the container's/etc/ssh
, and that's why it's not running.I'll go get some sleep and keep going tomorrow night.
-
So I installed
openssh-server
and now I get this:2020-10-22 04:13:28,130 INFO spawned: 'proftpd' with pid 48 Wrong passphrase for this key. Please try again. Wrong passphrase for this key. Please try again.

Not sure how to proceed when it asks me for passphrases...
-
are there pre-set keys or are they generated during setup?
since the dir wasn't there during setup, maybe the generation failed hence the errors.
-
@malvim I guess you are running this on Ubuntu 20? They changed the ssh keys format, so you have to generate the host keys again. See the test.js comment in startSftp().
-
@robi setup mounts the host's
/etc/ssh
dir, so it uses whatever is in the host machine, and it was... nothing!@girish hahahahahahahaha holy crap, I was looking at THIS EXACT LINE and completely disregarded the comment that explained perfectly what was going on! Thanks for the help once again, I'll check it out.
-
Hey, guys.
So, this is what's going on currently:
I was able to build and run tests for, with minimal adaptations, the
docker-base-image
project, and the following addons:docker-sftp
mongodb-addon
mysql-addon
redis-addon
turn-addon
That leaves
mail-addon
,docker-graphite
andpostgresql-addon
Mail needs more setup as @girish said, so I'm not doing it for now. I was not able to clone the
docker-graphite
project, as I think I've mentioned before, so still waiting on what to do in this case.In trying to understand a bit more of what's going on with the
postgreql-addon
tests hanging, I found it hangs in any test that usesconnectClient
, like theremove database
anduse database
tests:describe('remove database', function () { const data = { database: 'removetestdatabase', username: 'removetestuser', password: 'somepassword', locale: 'C' }; before(function (done) { addDatabase(data, done); }); it('succeeds', function (done) { request.delete(`https://${ip}:3000/databases/${data.database}?access_token=${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_TOKEN}&username=${data.username}`, { rejectUnauthorized: false }, function (error, response, body) { expect(error).to.be(null); expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200); connectClient(data, function (error) { expect(error).to.not.eql(null); client.end(done); }); }); }); });
In this case,
addDatabase
runs ok, and it makes sense since it is tested before.The function is called,
request.delete
is called, the twoexpect
s pass, and then the function INSIDEconnectClient
(with theexpect(error)
line) never runs.Can anyone else (besides @girish, who ran the tests and seen them run fine) run this and see what happens? This is happening on my laptop as well, not only on the Pi, but if I can't get this to go, I can't get the tests to pass on the pi, and we won't be able to trust everything runs okay.
-
@malvim Are you testing this on a mac?
-
@girish Nope. Ubuntu 20.04 on both my laptop and a server, Ubuntu 18.04 on the raspberry pi. All with the same result.
-
It works for me here atleast. I am guessing that you are unable to connect to the container IP maybe? Can you try installing psql tooling and connect via IP address? You can put a log in connectClient to see the credentials.

Hey,
So I commented out the
remove database
tests because I had trouble connecting from the container, but the next test,use the database
, starts like this:// psql -h localhost -U usetestuser -d usetestdatabase describe('use the database', function () { const data = { database: 'usetestdatabase', username: 'usetestuser', password: 'somepassword', locale: 'C' }; before(function (done) { async.series([ addDatabase.bind(null, data), connectClient.bind(null, data) ], done); });
So I ran "psql -h localhost -U usetestuser -d usetestdatabase", using 'somepassword' as a password, and was able to connect, both from inside the container and from my host machine.
connectClient
still doesn't connect, and, I get this on the screen:auth ✓ fails without access_token ✓ fails with invalid access_token ✓ succeeds use the database usetestuser somepassword usetestdatabase 172.18.0.2 5432 1) "before all" hook 3 passing (2m) 1 failing 1) Postgresql Addon use the database "before all" hook: Error: Timeout of 100000ms exceeded.

-
Also, it does not seem to be network-related, since I get the same behavior on an ubuntu 20.04 VPS I have...
-
I tried recreating the steps inside the container using node, and could connect. I'm really at a loss here right now...
-
@malvim Wish I had my Pi now so I could help test! Soon tho.
️
-
Hey, @Lonk! You mind testing this on your laptop? I'm not getting these errors only on the Pi, I'm getting them on my amd64 laptop and amd64 server as well!
Repo is here:
https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/postgresql-addon
, it's just a matter of:- cloning it;
- building the image locally (
docker build -t cloudron/postgresqladdontest .
) - installing dependencies (
npm install
) - running the test (
npm test
)
Could you run this somewhere and see if you have the same problem?
Thanks!
-
MAN, it seems I'm running into ALL KINDS of weird problems hahaha!
I started going into postgresql node client's code, and it seemed to be some weird behavior of
EventEmitter
, which was weird...I installed
nvm
and tested with older node distributions, and it ran fine on my laptop! So it seems, @girish, that the test code forpostgresql-addon
does not run with node v14 or later on my machines. Tested with v12 and v13 and it was all fine. What version are you using for tests?Moving on to the next hurdle, I guess hahah!
-
@malvim said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:
So it seems, @girish, that the test code for postgresql-addon does not run with node v14 or later on my machines
Aha! I feel like I have hit this issue before. Indeed, when we updated the box code to use node 14 lots of things fail (not sure why). We use node 10.18.1 everywhere. This is why the hotfix and code enforces it. For future reference, always use the node in
scripts/createReleaseTarball
in the box repo. -
@girish okay, cool, I'll use that. It's good news, then, that the OTHER tests even ran!
So, for what it's worth, the code seemed to fail on the use of
EventEmitter
. A class was dispatching an event and the corresponding listener was not triggered, so if you ever need to investigate further, maybe that's a start. -
I have ordered a RaspberryPi 4 now as well and plan to use that as a home server, so hopefully we can get this supported well in the future
Very curious to get my hands on what you have already managed to get working!
-
There's the new keyboard that includes an rPi inside too.
-
@malvim I've also got a Raspberry Pi 4 now. Can you give an update on where you are and do you have forked repos with arm changes somewhere?
-
To give a short update from my side, with the information already posted here, I was able to get the box (the main Cloudron controller process) up and running on the Pi 4 as well as successfully install Cloudron as such. I have only just started on the base image and the other addons, so any patches here are welcome.
To collect the changes, I am creating
arm64
branches in the relevant repos, for example https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commits/arm64 and https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docker-base-image/-/commits/arm64On top of this, I am trying to implement a better provisioning workflow for development, this is similar to the hotfix, so it is still aimed towards developers porting stuff to arm. More info on this later.

@nebulon So quickly! Nice work.
I want to convert my app to run on ARM so I'll be getting the same board you got to verify the OpenVPN Client and all of its features are able to work in an ARM environment.
This is so cool, love ARM.

Well it really remains to be seen how powerful such a board is to run common apps through docker

@nebulon True, but even if it could run 1. Not even that well, imagine a future with the Rasberry Pi 8. ARM CPUs are getting insane.

@nebulon said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:

I'm running like 4 containers on my Raspberry pi at home, it's super smooth, and it's only a RPi 2 ! The RPi 4 is gonna be more than capable of running a few apps for home usage I think
