Autoinstaller arm64 error

I'm getting: [ERROR] Exception occured: ISPConfigOSException -> Installing packages failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

It failed after attempting to install Installing packages:

software-properties-common, dnsutils, resolvconf, clamav, clamav-daemon, clamav-docs, zip, unzip, bzip2, xz-utils, lzip, rar, arj, nomarch, lzop, cabextract, apt-listchanges, libnet-ldap-perl, libauthen-sasl-perl, daemon, libio-string-perl, libio-socket-ssl-perl, libnet-ident-perl, libn et-dns-perl, libdbd-mysql-perl, bind9, spamassassin, rspamd, redis-server, postgrey, p7zip, p7zip-full, unrar-free, lrzip

I suspect this is because rar is not available on Debian 11/arm64. I had that problem with a manual installation on Debian 10. I also had an issue with rspamd but there is a directive to not tinstall. Hence I'm looking for a way to modify the script to not install rar or anything else that may cause a hiccup.

I've had a look in the /tmp/ispconfig-ai directory but can't find the apt install commands. What do you suggest?

 

Check in this file: class.ISPConfigDebianOS.inc.php

 

Thank you. Found it in a /tmp subdirectory. Sorry to be naive but how can I safely restart the autoinstaller that will not re-download and overwrite the amended file?

 

Code:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
# Uncomment deb-src lines below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

Just to add I removed the goaccess & rspamd repositories added in sources.list.d as these don't support arm64. However the apps are in the debian repositories

 

The autoinstaller works great on my amd64 servers. The issue is the autoinstaller is designed for amd64 architectures and never did work on arm64. Which is why some of us have been asking for a Debian 11 Perfect Tutorial. The Debian 10 version worked well on my Buster arm64 systems and any issues could be worked around easily without crashing stuff.

I will see what I can salvage using the Debian 10 tutorial again. Having spent ages sorting the IPv6 networking I'm loathed to wipe the server and start that again.

 

I'm having the same problem. If we force to use default arm64 source.list, would it work? By the way, where can I check each install command run?

 

Test Install of "ISPConfig3 Single Server" on arm64
Stock new pi4
Fresh "2022-01-28-raspios-bullseye-arm64-lite"

Using "Perfect Server Automated ISPConfig 3 Installation on Debian 10 - 11 and Ubuntu 20.04" instructions.
I notice that second wget line has "sloping" pipe. Typo ?
With real pipe get:

[ERROR] Exception occured: ISPConfigOSException -> Installing packages failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

Pre-tests apt search show unrar and unrar-free available in distribution
but package rar has no installation candidate
Does unrar include rar as well ?
Have not found how to use automatic and NOT try to install rar to test
Is there a way?

All the other things seem to install ok
but because auto installer bombs out I cannot move to the next hurdle.

 

Where exactly is this? Are we talking about https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/

I do not know. Read what

Code:

apt show unrar

says. If that does not help, the package page has list of files: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/unrar . I do not know if RaspOS has different package building system.

 

I am using "Perfect Server Automated ISPConfig 3 Installation on Debian 10 - 11 and Ubuntu 20.04" instructions.
In those instructions the first wget - -help goes OK (obviously).
The second wget --which does the install fails with error message:
[ERROR] Exception occured: ISPConfigOSException -> Installing packages failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)
This is not very informative so I went digging around found what it had tried to install.
In the list there are ar & unrar.
till has commented on unrar above but unrar is there and does install.
On the other hand rar package is not found
I do not know if rar is mission critical or included in unrar

I am not using RaspOS which is retired.
I am using pios64 which is to all intent and purposes Debian 11 bullseye (with pi hw extras addon).
So this is really "just" a Debian 11 Bulleye install using the superduper auto install shell

Should rar be removed from package list in the auto install ?

 

For information, relating to auto install with arm64:
Another package not found in Debian 11 Bullseye arm64 is getmail4
getmail is there though

 

Two years on and we have Debian 12 and Hetzner offering arm64 VPS with a much better value than amd64. It would be nice to move to these. I presume Autoinstaller is still not supported for arm64?

Hence the Perfect Server tutorial is the way to go? Anybody else using ISPConfig on these arm64 VPSs. Any amendments you suggest to tutorial? https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-12-buster-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-2/

 

Thank you Till. I guess I shall have to find out if I'm a decent Linux Admin ;-)

Sorry as a community based hoster we don't have the cash or expertise to help you. We do very much appreciate all the work so we can depend on IPSConfig to deliver value to our community. And if I can crack it - even better value!

 

Then, there is also RISC-V already coming into play, just to note another architecture that may be worth to consider together as well, later in the future.

 

Till - is the migration toolkit also restricted to amd64 servers or could I use that to move an existing amd64 server config to a Hetzner arm64 server if I do get ISPConfig installed?
