Install fails; informs that ARM64 ist not supported

[solarmax1]

I am trying to install InvenTree on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (64-bit).

The Quick Script fails, saying that ARM64 is not supported. This is the transcript:

pi@InvenTree:~$ sudo wget -qO install.sh https://get.inventree.org && sudo bash install.sh
[sudo] password for pi:

Should I be running the 32-bit version of Ubuntu? I read somewhere earlier that the 64-bit version was required.

Arm is not directly supported but you could run it in a docker container, it has worked for me in the past.

[solarmax1]

Thanks. I will give that a shot.

[sufyan-mukadam]

If it doesn't work for any reason, let me know, I have a step by step guide saved somewhere that I can share.

[solarmax1]

If you can find it, I'd appreciate getting it. I'm a beginner with Docker and have never used it, so this will be a learning experience.

I'm away today but I'll post something here tomorrow

Install docker using apt as shown in:

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/

Run through the post install steps as shown in:

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/

Create the required directories in your desired destination as shown:

mkdir inventree
cd inventree
mkdir inventree-data

Download the requried files from github using wget:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inventree/inventree/stable/contrib/container/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inventree/inventree/stable/contrib/container/.env
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inventree/inventree/stable/contrib/container/Caddyfile

Edit the .env file with the appropriate substitutions:

# InvenTree environment variables for docker compose deployment

 

# Specify the location of the external data volume

# By default, placed in local directory 'inventree-data'

INVENTREE_EXT_VOLUME=/path_to_your_directory_created_above

 

# Ensure debug is false for a production setup

INVENTREE_DEBUG=False

INVENTREE_LOG_LEVEL=WARNING

 

# InvenTree admin account details

# Un-comment (and complete) these lines to auto-create an admin acount

INVENTREE_ADMIN_USER=admin

INVENTREE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password

[email protected]
 

# Database configuration options

INVENTREE_DB_ENGINE=postgresql

INVENTREE_DB_NAME=inventree

INVENTREE_DB_HOST=inventree-db

INVENTREE_DB_PORT=5432

 

# Database credentials - These should be changed from the default values!

INVENTREE_DB_USER=pguser

INVENTREE_DB_PASSWORD=pgpassword

 

# Redis cache setup (disabled by default)

# Un-comment the following lines to enable Redis cache

# Note that you will also have to run docker-compose with the --profile redis command

# Refer to settings.py for other cache options

#INVENTREE_CACHE_ENABLED=True

#INVENTREE_CACHE_HOST=inventree-cache

#INVENTREE_CACHE_PORT=6379

 

# Options for gunicorn server

INVENTREE_GUNICORN_TIMEOUT=90

 

# Enable custom plugins?

INVENTREE_PLUGINS_ENABLED=True

 

# Run migrations automatically?

INVENTREE_AUTO_UPDATE=True

 

# Image tag that should be used

INVENTREE_TAG=stable

 

# Site URL - update this to match your host

INVENTREE_SITE_URL="http://yourdeviceip"

 

COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=inventree

Pull the latest image:

docker compose pull

Update database contents:

docker compose run --rm inventree-server invoke update --skip-backup

Start Containers:

docker compose up -d

---

To restore a backup simply use:

docker compose run inventree-server invoke restore

And then follow up by starting the containers using:

docker compose up -d

Thank you! I'm sure others will appreciate this as well.

[solarmax1]

Thank you! I'm now up and running using Docker on the Raspberry Pi.
