Download Armbian with HA (v25.2) Then boot the image, wait few minutes and login via http://ip_address_of_armbian_running_ha:8123 (official onboarding manual) Home Assistant Supervised is, more or less, a full blown Home assistant. Install Home Assistant on any Armbian Bookworm (experimental) Main difference between HA OS and Armbian with HA is that underlying OS here is clean Armbian Debian Bookworm and there is custom dedicated buildroot OS that is provided for a few single board computers, primarily for Raspberry Pi. We provide HA on a small selection of single board computers, but in theory, its possible to run this on (a…

Hi all. I'm working on a script that can install different Linux gaming tools like Box86, Box64, PPSSPP, ... For now it can only install box86 and box64. There is also an issue installing wine, so this doesn't work either. https://github.com/NicoD-SBC/armbian-gaming Download and unzip and run script : sudo /bin/bash ./armbian-gaming.sh When ready I'll make a video about it and give more info. I've tested it on the PineBookPro with Hirsute. With the Odroid N2+ you need to activate panfrost, install dependecies for N2+, and then install box86. Tho it didn't work as it should. If "install box86" gives a build error, t…

Hi, just to be clear I've zero doubt the problem is me but this is a recurring issue and I've been unable to nut it out on my own. I've found (both with bullseye and bookworm) that installing Wireguard borks my system - ie I am unable to boot after install. I'm running headless and therefore am limited diagnostically (I can't say what errors are occurring when attempting to reboot) I realise this'll make my problem frustrating for a lot of folks to engage with but any ideas at all'd be helpful. When first using Armbian a few years back it seemed as though the issue was that the LTS kernel did not include wireguard support and I discover…

Hi, i have some difficulties to add some boot parameters to the kernel. From what i read, the most safe procedure is to use the armbian-config tool, that will add the parameters to /boot/armbianEnv.txt file.

Hello guys, I never used armbian or any other kind of mini ARM Linux distro. I'm thinking about buying one of these ARM boards for a wireless access point and light server. What kind of packages can be installed on armbian? Can apache, BIND, ansible, python3, DHCP server, for example, be installed on it? Are there any packages repositories? Possible to use a more powerful wifi antenna on them or is a USB antenna needed? Many thanks for any pointers on this.

Hi mates, unfortunately I've lot of problems with IPv6, the programs I use love to use IPv6 to bind their TCP ports and not IPv4, I suppose this is not up to them but the kernel suggest/force them use it first. How can I get completely rid of IPv6? I want to kill it completely, it doesn't matter for me to enable it in future. I've disabled using armbian-config and checked /etc/sysctl.conf, there are these lines: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1 but thy don't have affect. Maybe this is a bug of armbian? I suppose so.. Thanks for support

Hi all, I'm still working on video hwaccel with some progress. Can anyone provide a confirmed working ffmpeg command line for camera capture and hardware encoding? I dont care about the platform, either rockchip or anything else, no matter about kernel or arbiam version. Using v4l2request is the only requirement. I'm using either 7.1.1 with libreelec patches or @Kwiboo's fork. I know there are a bunch of threads here and elswhere in the web but most are outdated, dealing with vaapi or other stuff, but I want to stay on v4l2 which seems to be the future. Thanks! T.

How to upgrade armbian from 23.02.2 to 23.5? Shoud I reinstall the os with 23.5 image ? Thanks

Sorry for a n00b questions but I'm confused with Armbian version names 😀 1) I'm using an ARMhf board with a Jammy 6.6. I see ports.ubuntu.com in Apt log. But on which kernel is it based? On the Ubuntu website, I don't see a 6.6 kernel at all. Or is it a kernel from https://www.kernel.org? In armbian-config I see 6.1, 6.6, and 6.7 versions available for download, but all of them are also not listed on Ubuntu's website. Which is the most stable and recommended Armbian version to use? 2) Which version is the next after Jammy? Noble? On the Ubuntu website, I see v24.04, on the Armbian website I see v24.5. Why Armbian version is newer than …

I take regular backups from my linux boxes (rsyncing the file system). To resume, I boot from usb, copy the files to the disk of the box and then make it bootable by chrooting into the box and executing grub-install or update-grub. That works fine. But how can I do this on my odroid hc2 running armbian/bullseye? I cannot boot from usb. So I need to make the sd card bootable on my debian-amd64 pc after copying the files on it. Is there some command like "update-uboot" I can execute on amd64? Or do I need a virtual host running arm architecture to do so? Jüregen

Armbian uses Netplan by default to manage network settings. But when it uses NetworkManager as renderer, it silently changes iptables rules—without asking, without telling. *Neither Netplan nor NetworkManager are supposed to manage firewall settings.* But they do it anyway, behind the scenes. That kind of behavior—making security changes without user consent—feels a lot like what malware does.

If you ever got a solid green frame trying to play H.265 through the RK3588 VA-API driver — on any image, any board — here's the closure: it was never your setup. HEVC never worked in this driver. It advertised the profiles, but there was no HEVC bitstream assembler in the code; the VPU received unparseable data and handed back empty (green) buffers. Two years, every user, same green. The assembler now exists on the deep-ink branch, and the verification is numeric, not eyeballed: hardware-decoded frames compared pixel-by-pixel against software decode — identical, at 8-bit and at 4K HDR10 (Main10). The comparison tools are committed (tools/hevc-ladder.sh) so you c…

Hey everyone, I want to share something pretty simple that I was working on: a way to customize the official image, maybe it's not the best way of doing it, but it worked for my needs. https://github.com/thiagosanches/yet-another-armbian-bakery/ The main goal is: WIFI up at the first boot. Make some small adjustments on SSH configuration. Change root password. Add a pi user. Add a public key so I can connect orange pi through and manage it through ansible (important topic). Any thoughts? It ain't much but it's a honest work!

I got an Orange Pi Zero 3 (1.5GB) to run Adguard Home. I tried the latest Armbian image (25.5.1), first with DE, then without... same problem. I run the config wizard and install AdGuard Home through it, set it up via the browser (192.168.0.6:3000), then reboot to make sure the service loads properly on boot... which it doesn't. Well, the service SEEMS to be running, according to the monitor, but I can no longer access AdGuard via the browser (and yes, I reserved 192.168.0.6 for the Orange Pi in the router).

I'm sure the the developers intentions are good but i'm a big boy now and don't need or want someone else restricting how my passwords must be formed. One of the things that draws me to linux is the concept of freedom. Please tell me how to get around this limitation of Armbian/cinnamon on my Raspberry Pi4b. I use LMDE 5.0/cinnamon on my Intel & AMD computers and don't have this problem. I don't say his in anger. If I have to type a long password to simply use sudo then I'm not sure I want to run Armbian.

I tried to set armbian without networkmanager or netplan, with just ifupdown, isc-dhcp-client and wpasupplicant, but the wlan0 interface doesn't work as expected. IP Link Set WLAN0 Up doesn't want to set the interface to UP. With Network-Manager, the interface works correctly from the start. Do you have a solution to do without Network Manager and Netplan? I would just like to configure /etc/networkinterfaces like on my laptop. Thank you in advance for your answers

Finally there is a proper tor-browser available for arm64/aarch64: 1. Goto https://nightlies.tbb.torproject.org/nightly-builds/tor-browser-builds/ 2. Navigate into: tbb-nightly.<date>/nightly-linux-aarch64/ 3. Download tor-browser-linux-aarch64-tbb-nightly.<date>.tar.xz 4. Unpack with tar -Jxvf and run tor-browser/start-tor-browser.desktop Yay! (I'm sure you can compile it too from their github page)

This system has been running for several months months as a backup server with a nobel release about a year old, maybe some older, using two usb3 7 port hubs because 1 hub could not handle the current draw of 5 TSMC 4T SSD's using startech usb3.1 cables to connect 5 if them in a /raid6 configuration for an 11.1 Tb drive. But I decided to do an as sudo -i, "apt update" and was advised that would update about 430 files so I figured I'd do an apt update -y, then and apt --purge autoremove". Unforch it went into lala land while making a new initrd. After about 20 minutes I did a powerdown to be greeted by a repeating loop indicating there was no network. So I dl'd & w…

I'm trying to run Armbian on my Rock 5B by booting off an SD card and having root on NVMe. Here's what I've done: First, on another Linux system: Create a gpt partition table on the NVMe. Allocate 256 MB for a /boot (one of these days, booting from NVMe will settle down, but for now...) Allocate the remainder of the NVMe to /. Use dd to copy the filesystem from the SD card to the NVME's root partition. Use gparted to change the UUID of the NVME root and expand the filesystem to use the available space. Alter the armbianEnv.txt file to point to the NVME's UUID. Install the SD and NVMe cards on the Rock. When I boot the Rock, i…

Hello community I've been struggling to find statistics and/or good references to commonly used host-based intrusion detection systems on Linux servers. Is there a recommendation from someone with experience and who has ideally deployed such systems? It would be helpful to see which HIDS you use or recommend. Regards, nobuzlata

Good morning. I have installed Armbian Bullseye (first file in this webpage: https://armbian.site-meganet.com/dl/rockpi-4b/archive/) on a Radxa ROCK Pi 4 SE. After that I ran armbian-config and navigated to the Default section to install Cinnamon Desktop. Apparently the installation completes successfully and then coes back to the CLI. Now I am trying to start the desktop environment and I am unable to. I have tried rebooting but it just goes to the CLI. Do I need to run a command like 'startx'? (startx is not working) Thank you.

Hello, Yesterday I was doing an upgrade on my NanoPi T6, and then I got a kernel panic and no boot. I am currently running kernel 6.1.84 To recover my information through a new mmc card I put armbian with kernel 6.12. And I logged in by doing a chroot. There used to be an option to install a newer kernel via armbian-config, but I can't find that option now. Is there any way how i can put on my current server a newer kernel or through cli which packages should i install. Greetings, A.H.

Hello, not sure if this should go under beginners, or this section but trying here. I have now set my armbian-config to rolling updates so I get the good beta stuff.

Basic tool to change screen orientation and its touch input on gnome wayland desktops. Built for Gnome Wayland and displays without automatic touch input rotation after orientation change. Sadly xrandr and xinput are things of the past in times of wayland. And since I mounted a FHD touchscreen to my rock-5b which can be rotated, this caused some trouble for me. Mabye useful fur other people mounting displays with touch support on their SBC's in crazy spots 😛 Basically it's just a combination of gnome-randr.py and creating a udev rule with calibration matrix. Fun project to test out chatGPT 😀 https://github.com/fraz0815/gptouch

Hi, The package torsocks wasn't working and I could not understand why it was not. Torsocks configuration file: /etc/tor/torsocks.conf (default) specifies port 9050 # Default Tor address and port.

Can you include the wireguard module in the kernel, please? It's missing from Armbian 23.05.0-trunk Bullseye with Linux 5.4.239-odroidxu4. This is a required module for the Openmediavault Wireguard Plugin to install correctly (using OMV 6.4.9-1 (Shaitan)) However I'm told that omv 6 requires Debian 11 Bullseye so, if there's an existing Armbian build with it, can you let me know, please?

Is there a github repo for armbian-install? On the RockPi-S with both eMMC and SD cards installed, it's showing the devices backwards or un-named in the menu. I'd like to open an issue report to see if it can be fixed.

I am using the latest Armbian Noble image (version 6.6.8) on my Banana Pi CM4. For my application, I am utilizing the Linux UART (/dev/ttyAML0), which is currently printing dmesg logs on this port. Is there a way I can disable dmesg debug logging and exclusively use /dev/ttyAML0 for my application? Thanks.

How can I add a new user?

Has anyone here configured armbian with a Wayland desktop, and completely free of X11? How did you do it? I have compiled labwc and it works great with my orange pi zero 3, with bookworm or trixie... but I can't figure out how to configure a wayland greeter. I need to do this because my LCD driver can't work with X11 (panel-mipi-dbi-spi).

I use a BananaPi M2 berry with bookworm, I try to install OMV but the system is complaining that I should use buster, and it won't install. How do I proceed?

Hiya, I've been using OMV for a year or two with no issues. There were several updates to Armbian and other packages recently which caused a number of errors and the system going to sleep on my Windows network and not waking up. Rather than try and track every error, I'll just start from scratch. Last time, the OMV install from Armbian-Config worked like a dream. Load it, update it and then click OMV in the menu. Simples! This time it runs a lot of script as before, then finishes with "error openmediavault". That's it. The web browser says "Welcome to NGINX", so something has been installed. Ive tried an install and running the Debian scrip from th…

I am trying to connect to my armbian install (on an orange pi 4 LTS) from OSX (with Xquartz) to run the mythtv backend setup. I didn't install the desktop version of armbian; just the base version, and with the image for this model of pi. connecting by SSH is not a problem, I happily get through. The problem is, both with the -X and -Y options, I can't forward X successfully. DISPLAY doesn't get passed. On the Mac side, it's variously ":0" or something like "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.Cvf3IlZ6rM/org.xquartz:0" (which would have no meaning to another machine). I've set to :0 , :0.0 , mymac.local:0 (after enterin…

Guys i have an orange pi zero 3 4GB RAM version, with armbian ubuntu running currently with a static ip, and i have installed a vpn service on it and it works wonderfully, but it barely uses all the cores and the ram, so i was wondering about using some kind of virtual machine service like qemu-kvm, lxd or even docker to run virtual machines inside. I know many would say go for docker, although what i need is something closer to a VM than to a container, because i need these VMs to have their very own static ips connected to the network and isolated from the others yet able to send and receive traffic between them and the network, i have read that this kind of behav…

Every time I tried to log on to ssh on my rock-s0 with armbian, there would be a delay of like 5 seconds. I found a solution that fixes this problem. This thread is partly a PSA about this solution, and a question about whether this solution is a good idea or not. The trick is to change UsePAM=yes , to UsePAM=no , in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. But I heard some people online say this is a bad idea, but I don't understand PAM enough to know why. I am only going to use ssh in a basic password-authenticated, LAN environment. Do I really need PAM? The only side-effect I noticed is that it no longer shows the MOTD when logging in.

Hardware video decode in "Google Chrome". I will start this out with "It flickers on a 16GB board. I can use it to play High Resolution YouTube Videos." YMMV! Test Note: I run it at 4k@120hz on my Pi-Desktop build. # HOW-TO: Hardware video decode in Google Chrome on RK3588 (Orange Pi 5B / Ubuntu-rockchip BSP) This gets Google Chrome to decode video on the RK3588 hardware VPU (via VA-API) instead of grinding it out on the CPU. Result: smooth 1080p and 4K playback with the CPU nearly idle. Codecs that decode in hardware: H.264, HEVC, VP8, VP9. (No AV1 - see Problems and Fixes.) As a bonus, the same driver also gives Firefox hardware decode. …

I’m assuming this is to do with the kernel but otherwise have no idea. I’ve had no problems with this Wireguard plugin on a 32bit Libre Bullseye install on a Renegade but was unable to get 64bit Bullseye to accept login creds so opted for Armbian. Now unable to use the plugin at all. Anyone have any ideas? I’ve tried the 6.1.11 edge kernel but Wireguard broke this too. Not sure what else to try. Attempted to get Libre kernels to load without success - way above my skillset for now. TIA
