Hello, install done, will tell if any bug. For now, this is the bug when I install it : |
|
Can you try to run this manually and past the output here? cd /tmp
> 80017429-532b-437d-9b75-256a91d206ec.txt
curl --key -m 20 -vT 80017429-532b-437d-9b75-256a91d206ec.txt sftp://dietpi-survey:[email protected]/survey/ |
|
Seem stuck here : |
|
Ah sorry, I forgot the empty cd /tmp
> 80017429-532b-437d-9b75-256a91d206ec.txt
curl --key '' -m 20 -vT 80017429-532b-437d-9b75-256a91d206ec.txt 'sftp://dietpi-survey:[email protected]/survey/' |
|
|
Is our host key still present? grep 'ssh.dietpi.com' /root/.ssh/known_hosts |
|
Nope :(
|
|
Recreate it with this command: echo 'ssh.dietpi.com ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDE6aw3r6aOEqendNu376iiCHr9tGBIWPgfrLkzjXjEsHGyVSUFNnZt6pftrDeK7UX+qX4FxOwQlugG4fymOHbimRCFiv6cf7VpYg1Ednquq9TLb7/cIIbX8a6AuRmX4fjdGuqwmBq3OG7ZksFcYEFKt5U4mAJIaL8hXiM2iXjgY02LqiQY/QWATsHI4ie9ZOnwrQE+Rr6mASN1BVFuIgyHIbwX54jsFSnZ/7CdBMkuAd9B8JkxppWVYpYIFHE9oWNfjh/epdK8yv9Oo6r0w5Rb+4qaAc5g+RAaknHeV6Gp75d2lxBdCm5XknKKbGma2+/DfoE8WZTSgzXrYcRlStYN' > /root/.ssh/known_hosts |

@MichaIng |
|
Or we re-create it with a patch on next update? But a check for |
|
question is it missing in some cases? By accident or by purpose? |
|
Another reason to go with the check + error message, so users who intentionally remove it get an info for what it is required. |
|
Oh maybe my fault, when I had ssh issue, maybe I delete all folder .ssh/ Sorry Question : Do you have any Telegram Group ? :) |
|
Nope we don't have such a group. There is a small user community on Facebook. |
Ok ;) |
Maybe you could make a discord server or such? |
No thank you, Matrix please, no proprietary services for open source projects :/ |
Yeah, I know. Discord is poprietary, but still, a lot of open source projects use it. |
|
I haven't used it much, but there are a lot of Matrix clients, the benefit of an open protocol. So I guess there will be one which suites your expectations, or is it somehow a limitation of the protocol itself compared to Discord? Generally an additional platform is not always better, it splits reports and solutions for common problems, making it more difficult for us and for users to quickly find or link solutions or contribute to discussions/issues. And it requires us to watch and react on an additional platform. I have a Discord account, but am, to be true, not very reactive there, as forum and in my case especially GitHub keeps me busy. We try to be very reactive on both platforms, so not sure whether a chat platforms adds so much value. However, we were playing with the idea to host an own Synapse Matrix server, being the obvious solution as our server runs DietPi (of course) and we have Synapse integrated into |
Pretty much all of the matrix clients are the same, just the look is different. It is confusing because of all the codes, rooms, etc. I find discord more user-friendly, you just join the server and pick a channel to talk. In matrix you need to pick a homeserver, then make your account, then join the room (or whatever, I don't know) then join the channel and finally you can chat with others. It just that to a normal user who wants to chat about DietPI Matrix is too complicated. With discord, you just register and join the server and all the information, channels and etc. are there. But I agree that Matrix is more private, open and secure. I'm not hating on matrix, it is just too complex for someone who just wants to chat. |
|
As we are 2 people only who do user support, there is quite a good chance that there is nobody you could chat with. Doesn't matter if Matrix or Discord. 😉 |
you can just use the default matrix.org homeserver, so its about as simple..
I agree with this though, any chat platform will add to the burden of maintenance and moderation, the forum / github is probably fine enough until there are people ready to moderate it. |
|
Another major version of dietpi, hurray. Thank you. |
|
For those who are interested, why a major version increment: We decided to do this whenever support for an older Debian version (Stretch in this case) or older DietPi versions (DietPi prior to v6.14 in this case) are dropped, hence follow the intended meaning of major versions in semantic versioning to do a breaking change. Other than that, which allowed us to drop and enhance a lot of code to keep up Stretch compatibility, there is not further meaning of it. Old DietPi systems however only need to call |
We do need something for those that don't use Meta / Facebook. My vote will be Telegram or Discord or Matrix. What is useful with Matrix is that there are bridges for Telegram and Discord ... |
GitHub and forum.
That is actually very nice, indeed. How does it work, is this something that can/needs to be setup on the Matrix server with a Telegram/Discord account which then exposes/syncs Matrix chats on Telegram/Discord automatically? |
|
I think I started a discussion about Telegram etc... lol I know with Telegram ( certainly with Discord too ) you can sync Github changed |
you can selfhost the bridge bot, or use t2bot.io which hosts telegram and discord bots |
Beta v8.0.1 has been merged with a few changes and fixes: #5141 |
|
My 2 cents regarding hardening: you might want to consider disabling SSH-logins by |
|
Furthermore we plan to remove the But I agree in any case that hardening SSH logins (disabling root login and especially also enabling key authentication) needs to be more easy/transparent to users. While it can be easily done manually, I guess many don't know about this and leave root password login enabled. For this release it is of course too late, but probably you can open an issue so we can track for next release. |
Beta v8.0.2 has been merged: #5147We'll do a last code review and in case some quick tests, before doing the DietPi v8.0 release until midnight. |
DietPi v8.0 has been released, many thanks to all testers ❤️! |
|
Congrats again on major release. Just a question. Wasn't sure should I be making another issue for a question. I am planning to have a clean install for Bullseye upgrade.

Many thanks 🙂.
Yes you can do that, indeed since Bullseye there is an |
Even as per my research on it, didn't find any mentions of huge differences other than small performance differences and package issues. So I think I will stick with 32bit for now. |
|
A small number of software titles is not available for 64-bit ARM, another small number not for 32-bit ARM, it may have reached quality. But also from performance point of view, 64-bit is faster only in certain cases, as mentioned when software code deals with 64-bit size integers often, while it consumes usually notably more disk and RAM space, which has again a negative impact on performance. So I'd say one cannot give a generic preference (for RPi 4 where RAM size is not inherently a problem) for either the one or the other, but more important is whether all aimed software titles are supported 😉. Reminds me that we need to add supported architectures to e.g. the software list in our Wiki, so one can check this before flashing the image. |
Understood, and got a clean install of dietpi for RPi. Luckily, no issue. Way fewer crashes for Kodi compared to previously. I will stick with custom Kodi service rather than autostart. I noticed ur comments rpi forum previously and I didn't understand some parts initially until faced that issue(sound issue). Luckily it was an easy fix.
Reminder for this. |
|
Jep, on RPi using an unprivileged user for Kodi (via service) should be pretty easy, using |
