Octobalena octoprint container fails to start

Project help
#1

Happy New Year, Friends!

I’m trying to deploy Octobalena from balanahub:

I’ve tried deploying from balenahub, as well as cloning the github repo and deploying with the balena CLI with identical results.

In each case - despite the dashboard suggesting that the octoprint container is ‘Running’ - I’m getting a recurring error in the Logs window from this container:

octoprint standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused “no such file or directory”

Attempting a shell connection to the container results in:

SSH reconnecting…
Spawning shell…
Error response from daemon: Container d3cec7f7b30252ff6133855bfffc9a7174cf95cb60086fe3a94a9d51f51bf77b is restarting, wait until the container is running

SSH session disconnected

Needless to say, the system is not available at it’s expected network location (octobalena.local): I can ping the device (and establish a Host OS shell) - but octoprint is non-responsive on port 5000.

$ curl octobalena.local:5000
curl: (7) Failed to connect to octobalena.local port 5000: Connection refused

I’ll log a similar issue on the GitHub repo – anyone know if the author has a presence here in the forums? I’ll look momentarily.

Thanks in advance!

It might be worth pointing out that I’ve been using (non-balena’d) OctoPrint, octolapse and a few other plugins quite successfully for awhile now. Working on adding some WS2812b LEDs to my Ender 3 Pro 3D printer, and an associated OctoPrint plugin – and decided I’d give the balena route a go for quickly deploying a new octoprint instance for testing my wiring setup (including level converter) prior to installing on my ‘production rig’. #ScratchMonkey

Hi Billy, thank you we are aware of this. There is a PR to fix one of the issues with the build of Pi3 device type, which should allow you to build the project against a RaspberryPi3 application/device type. If you are using any of the Pi2/3/4 variants, please ensure your balenaCloud app is type of RaspberryPi3. Any other device type will revert to the the Dockerfile.template, which builds the Octoprint container with the wrong binary architecture. You could open an issue for this against the GH repository.

Thanks much, Anton! Sure enough, I built for a Pi4 device type. I’ll re-create the app of type Pi3 and give it a go. Thanks again!
