Raspberry Bob

[Dave]

Hi, I finally got around to getting a raspberry pi (4) that I've successfully set up my Plex server on, and I thought it should be okay to also have a Bob instance running on it as well.

But I'm having trouble getting it going as there's no error message on the node version, and on the BobExe version there's an error I don't understand.

First for the node version (I have node installed as well as git and npm) I did this (copy/paste)

Step by step instructions (using Node)

If you want to use a fresh local install of tiddlywiki here are command line instructions:

Clone the tiddlywiki repo and get the plugin (Only do this the first time to install everything):

git clone --depth=1 --branch v5.1.21 https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob.git TiddlyWiki5/plugins/OokTech/Bob
mkdir TiddlyWiki5/Wikis
cp -r TiddlyWiki5/plugins/OokTech/Bob/MultiUserWiki TiddlyWiki5/Wikis/BobWiki/

After that is finished, and to start up tiddlywiki later type:

cd TiddlyWiki5
node ./tiddlywiki.js Wikis/BobWiki  --wsserver

In a browser go to 127.0.0.1:8080 and the wiki should load. 

but nothing happens.

Here's the terminal readout:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ git clone --depth=1 --branch v5.1.21 https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5.git

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd TiddlyWiki5

pi@raspberrypi:~/TiddlyWiki5 $ node ./tiddlywiki.js Wikis/BobWiki  --wsserver

pi@raspberrypi:~/TiddlyWiki5 $ 

and when I use the BobExe version I get this error

pi@raspberrypi:~/Bob $ /home/pi/Bob/BobLinux

bash: /home/pi/Bob/BobLinux: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I'm sure I made it executable, but is a raspberry pi maybe 32 bit? (I used the 64 bit version)  I'll try that, but if that's the case I'd still like to know what I did wrong with the node version.

Thanks,

- Dave

I'm also having trouble getting the Bob.exe version working on Linux (Raspberry Pi 4gb). Same error as above.

Most likely Bob has been compiled for arbitrary Linux (likely x86), so I believe it needs to be compiled for use with the Pi in order to get it working.

Any ideas about getting the node version to work?

Someone needs to compile it for ARM (processor the Pi uses), if my assumption is right. Best if the author of Bob cross-compiles it...

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Jed actually designed Bob for use on the raspberry pi to be lighter weight than some of the other types of servers.

Maybe when I get home tonight I'll try compiling from source - that might be the ticket.
