Which is the best guide to install on a Raspberry Pi4?

Help
1

Hello,

I’m looking to install LibreNMS on my Pi4 4GB at home. I’ve used it at work and it’s works well.

The Pi uses armv7 I believe, but cab’t find a guide. I tried the ubuntu nginx guide and nginx failed to start. I will start again.

Thanks

And got this

php version

pi@raspberrypi:/opt/librenms $ php -v

Tried this too

apt-get install php-mbstring
su - librenms

# as user librenms

./scripts/composer_wrapper.php install --no-dev

I will do some research, but php installed ok.

Problem 1 - You need to install this mbstring it should resolve your problems.
You used command apt-get install php-mbstring but you need to add php version.

I’m not sure why the ubuntu 18.04 + nginx guide didn’t work for you, I literally did a fresh reinstall on my rpi4 3 days ago according to it and everything worked, these are the steps I used:

  • used Etcher to flash Raspbian Buster Lite version on sd card.
  • apt update && apt dist-upgrade
  • proceeded step by step by the official ubuntu 18.04 + nginx guide, prepending sudo to each relevant command
  • until I reached the Set permissions part of guide, where the instructions will fail with an ‘setfacl command missing error’, because acl package is not installed by default on raspbian, apt install acl to fix
  • rest of guide proceeded without error

Hope that helps.

Maybe I will put a fresh copy of Bust on an SD card and try again as I just get:

While copying the librenms.conf for nginx from the guide, did you change the server_name librenms.example.com; to actual hostname of your pi? Try that, service restart nginx and then try the browser part of install again at http://<hostname>/install.php. Otherwise I got nothing.
