Hello @neeleshdatley

First of all, welcome to the balena forum and our community.

Can you please share more details about this issue:

How do you create the release for balenaOS, are you using our cloud builders?
What files do you use for specifying the release (dockerfile, docker-compose.yml file?)
Can you please share the files?

Thanks and best regards
Harald

I am trying to install this GitHub - balena-io/open-balena-vpn: openBalena VPN. On RPI4
also getting networki timeout error at https://registry.npm.npmjs.org/yocto-queue/-/yocto-queue-0.1.0.tgz.

Is there a tutorial for installing vpn on balena os.
Please Help

Hello @neeleshdatley,

can you please add more details about the issues that you are facing? Can you please try to give the scoped details from the questions we have raised? I’m struggling to understand the setup, the details and what you are trying to install open-balena-vpn on a RPI4. Is this RPI4 running balenaOS and you want the open-balena-vpn run as a service inside of balenaOS?

Regards
Harald

Hello @neeleshdatley,

the error message that you share is most probably related to a wrong CPU architecture / cross-architecture build. The builder that is used is a ARM builder, as the target is the RPI4 (AARCH64).
The npm binaries installed in the open-balena-base image are not AARCH64 compatible:

github.com

balena-io-modules/open-balena-base/blob/e8f155d466ffc471669d25eadd90c4cdcf674124/Dockerfile#L51-L60


      
          RUN curl -SL "https://nodejs.org/dist/v$NODE_VERSION/node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-x64.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /usr/local --strip-components=1 --no-same-owner \
          	&& npm install -g npm@"$NPM_VERSION" \
          	&& npm cache clear --force \
          	&& rm -rf /tmp/*
          
          ENV CONFD_VERSION 0.16.0
          
          RUN wget -O /usr/local/bin/confd https://github.com/kelseyhightower/confd/releases/download/v${CONFD_VERSION}/confd-${CONFD_VERSION}-linux-amd64 \
          	&& chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/confd \
          	&& ln -s /usr/src/app/config/confd /etc/confd

Given this context, I’m afraid to say that the open-balena-vpn and the underlying open-balena-base are not ARM (AARCH64) compatible and will not run on RPI CM4. They are base images for running on servers as they were and are mostly AMD64 architecture.

I suggest you to derive the open-balena-base image for now into a staged build by using the dockerfile form repo and modify the divergent parts:

After checking the release page of node: Index of /dist/v16.15.0/
- For the npm I think it’s sufficient to replace ../node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-x64.tar.gz" with ../node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-arm64.tar.gz
For confd there is also a arm64 binary:
- which should be accessible when replacing
  confd-${CONFD_VERSION}-linux-amd64 with confd-${CONFD_VERSION}-linux-arm64.

Hopefully that helps to understand the issue

Best Regards
Harald

Is there a way to reach wifi devices connected to RPI via southbound network. Is SDN controller good? how can we use it.

Hello @neeleshdatley

what do you mean by:

What is a SDN controller?
