Install / update hosed my box

[Steve Mitchell]

I have been running SignalK for a long time, and after today's announcement of the new Admin UI, I decided to save my settings and re-install from scratch just for fun.

During npm install, I got some weird errors, and then my box stopped responding altogether.  This is a very reliable Raspberry Pi that I have had zero issues with the last year plus of running SignalK.  The last error/output from npm install was:

pi@grace:~/signalk-server-node $ npm install

npm WARN deprecated cry...@1.0.1: This package is no longer supported. It's now a built-in Node module. If you've depended on crypto, you should switch to the one that's built-in.

I got network monitoring errors shortly after that (I use Zabbix everywhere) that my disk I/O was maxed out, swap was at 100%, and then eventually a few minutes later, the box was gone off the network.

Has anyone else seen this?

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

All I can say that sqlite compile is pretty heavy on RPi, takes a while, but I've been able to successfully compile it.

Sqlite is there for mbtiles chart support. We could make @mapbox/mbtiles an optional install for those who want to use mbtiles charts, and save considerably in installation time. I have another feature in the pipeline that will use Sqlite and I believe Joachim switched his polars plugin to sqlite as well.

Another option would be to pull the whole charts support into an optional plugin.

But that won't bring back your hosed RPi. 

[Steve Mitchell]

Thanks Teppo. That's good to know that SQLite was added to support something, and that I didn't mess something up or miss when it was installed before. 

The good news is that the box still responds to pings, so it might be continuing to compile stuff even though I can't get SSH or anything else to respond. The terminal window I had up while installing things is still active inasmuch as it hasn't disconnected. 

I think it would be a good idea to provide some way of avoiding this for others if possible. I know several other people locally, and probably even more in the community, that use an RPI for SignalK!

[Teppo Kurki]

I just pushed a change that makes mbtiles support optional. Hope it helps more than hinders.

Any details on how to use that change? I just pulled the newest version and it still tried to compile SQLite.  Alternatively, can I install SQLite system-wide and have it leverage that instead? Through apt I have access to a pretty standard version of SQLite...

Sorry, in my haste I had not committed the real dependency in package.json. Please try again.

[Steve Mitchell]

All good! I am back up and running on my Pi and testing out the new admin interface.
