Any help on solving this? I’m a newbie, and I have searched around, couldnt get enough info. Thanks.
Hey @kirthisiva , Welcome to balenaCloud! I think you were unlucky and pushed this project just after this bug https://github.com/balena-io-library/base-images/issues/532 was introduced. We need to update that project to use a newer base image, but I believe you should be able to add RUN sed -i '/jessie-updates/{s/^/#/}' /etc/apt/sources.list to the second line of your Dockerfile and get things working. Let me know if that doesn’t fix things.
Thanks. I’m using balena cloud and not self-hosted. Where should I look for the docker file?
I haven’t deployed this project before, but looking at the blog post and repo I believe if you add the line: RUN sed -i '/jessie-updates/{s/^/#/}' /etc/apt/sources.list to https://github.com/Screenly/screenly-ose/blob/master/Dockerfile.template just after FROM ... you should be good to go.
I’ve put in a PR to update this to the new balenalib images if anyone here wanted to give it a try.

Hi chrisys
Cheers
Update: getting the “Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1” message in the log once it pushed to the device though.
I am getting the same thing. Dropping to a shell within the application, it appears the services are failing:
root@c4dc96b:/home/pi/screenly/bin# systemctl start X.service
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1
I get this on system boot as well, but am able to duplicate it with the services that should be starting:
systemctl start X.service
systemctl start matchbox.service
systemctl start screenly-viewer.service
systemctl start screenly-web.service
systemctl start screenly-websocket_server_layer.service
Hi @scheesmanm , welcome to the forums.
Thanks @samothx . Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

@kirthisiva @cjk @scheesman
OK so you can see in the comments of my (now closed) PR above that the Screenly team are looking into updating the repo to use multicontainer on the latest balena base images. The current setup was built before balena supported multicontainer and hence isn’t the optimal implementation any more.
However this doesn’t help you today, so I’ve created a fork which incorporates a couple of changes - notably what @shaunmulligan mentioned above plus another tweak to the .dockerignore file.
I’ve just deployed this to balenaCloud and it works great - you can use this for now until the Screenly team release the proper implementation:

Build was successful without any modifications, and Screenly launched as expected. Thanks @chrisys ! Much appreciated.

Thanks @chrisys
@cjk well done getting it running.
You might like to comment on this issue to make the Screenly team aware of it again: https://github.com/Screenly/screenly-ose/issues/800

I’ve been having the same issue originally described and @chrisys ’s fork seems no longer available. Has this issued been addressed in a recent screenly build?

Hi Fabio, Screenly team seems to have closed the issue on their end last September, have you tried with a recent build?

Hi @fpinto - @chrisys confirms that the issues with Screenly were fixed and his fork was no longer needed.

I did it with the latest build in the last couple of days. The error I get is:

Hi @fpinto balena push instead of git push might be a workaround.

Hi there,
It looks like this is a known issue with Screenly on Raspberry Pi 4’s running 64 bit containers. As your logs indicate the omxplayer and libraspberrypi0 packages are not present on the aarch64 versions of the debian containers. As a temporary workaround I would replace %%BALENA_MACHINE_NAME%% with raspberrypi3 in the docker/Dockerfile.celery.template, docker/Dockerfile.redis.template, docker/Dockerfile.server.template, docker/Dockerfile.viewer.template docker/Dockerfile.websocket.template and then try pushing again. This should not affect performance, but will force it to use 32 bit containers only.
Let us know whether this works for you.
Thanks,
) to figure out how to override the existing deployed package!
