Bookworm readyness

[mstormi]

New Debian release "bookworm" is out.

• firmware move config.txt
• check all 3rd party repos for bookworm upgrades and compatibility
• • deCONZ (generic and generic-beta can be used instead of bullseye or bookworm now)
• • HomeGear Homegear on bookworm #1853
• • InfluxData (no bookworm yet but stable exists, does this work?)
• • Node 18.x
• • Tailscale (debian bookworm exists).
• build new image when Raspi OS image becomes available
• static WiFi does not work any more bookworm WiFi #1823
• • comitup TBD
• Bookworm uses yescrypt to encrypt passwords in /etc/shadow; password checker does not take this format into account #1843

New Debian release "bookworm" is out. Expect Raspi OS images to follow anytime soon.
* [ ] check all 3rd party repos for bookworm upgrades

To confirm the dist exists (not necessarily if they are installable on openHABian):

• deCONZ (generic and generic-beta can be used instead of bullseye or bookworm now)
• HomeGear
• InfluxData (no bookworm yet but stable exists, does this work?)
• Node 18.x
• Tailscale (debian) bookworm exists but Raspberry Pi bookworm does not).

deCONZ (generic and generic-beta can be used instead of bullseye or bookworm now)

What exactly does that mean, could we change the repo to generic in all cases ? Would that work on new bookworm installations and continue to work on existing bullseye setups ?
Or would I need to dynamically decide to use either the generic or the generic-beta repo depending on what the distro is ?

It looks like it, yes.

Or would I need to dynamically decide to use either the generic or the generic-beta repo depending on what the distro is ?

No, generic-beta contains all packages. generic contains stable only, but for multiple architectures.

just did a fresh install on debian 12 (bookworm) amd64 (netinstall iso) like described here

out of the box:
openhabian-config unattended
fails...

i see the following errors:

frontail installs fail because of missing npm
Fix:
apt install npm
before running openhabian-config unattended

java 17 install fail because failure to install ca-certificates-java --> seems to be this bug
temporary FIX (should be fixed in stable bookworm in the next few days (weeks)):
enable testing repos, see here and then install testing version:
apt install ca-certificates-java/testing openjdk-17-jre-headless/testing

another minor issue:
update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-armhf/bin/java for java not registered; not setting
as i am on amd64 this call can not work, but because java 17 is the only java, no problem -> problem in openhabian script??

...so all in all only minor problem :)

[mstormi]

Fix:
apt install npm
before running openhabian-config unattended

npm should be installed along the way.
Can you check /boot/first-boot.log and post that please. debugmode=maximum required during install of course else there will not be much contents of use.

another minor issue:
update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-armhf/bin/java for java not registered; not setting

again post the install log please else I would not know what to make of that.

@mstormi : That sounds similar to the issue we had with npm: It's installed together with node but sometimes node doesn't install (e.g. gpg-keys) and then the missing npm is the first problem that pops up.

[krikk]

as it is manual (openhabian-config unattended) install on intel AMD64, so no first-boot.log, but i have redirected all output to log file from "openhabian-config unattended"

first log with basic debian 12 (bookworm) netinstall, without preinstalling anything
openhab_install_unatteded_FAILED.log

second log with preinstalled npm and java17:
openhab_unatted_with_NPM_and_JAVA_preinstalled.log

hope this helps, sorry no debugmode=maximum

Just tested 1.8b: Everything smooth except npm was missing:
Do we still need the complicated install routing (nodejs-apps.bash line 8-48)?
I think that was because node was not included in the keys of buster.
I thought we could replace everything with a simple "sudo apt install nodejs npm -y".
But I don't know what this OFFLINE and PREOFFLINE is all about.

Can you please let me know what exactly to change where? I run into the same issue when installing Influx/Grafana from openhabian-config

Please do.

OFFLINE is essentially what happens when the box-under-install has no Internet access. We provide Raspi OS but also some apt packages as part of the image and try to install from there when we cannot retrieve their latest versions from the repo.

I'd have to sync myself with the code again to make sure but I think PREOFFLINE is what happens on image creation, i.e. to pull in (download) apt packages and make them become part of the image so they're available when you want to install but are OFFLINE.
