Trying to combine apps, it doesn't work

arjan_io · August 30, 2024, 6:10am

Hi all,

Note:
I posted this in the Product support category but I think it belongs here. The other post will be deleted

I’am just getting started on Balena here. Using BalenaCloud and the BalenaCLI on my Mac to get the files together and push this to builder to create the images. I made a post before but I sort of hijacked my own post as I did come up with more questions so this new post seemed more prudent.

My idea was to make a generic image for some RPIs, while they not all need the same apps running as they have slightly different purposes. So I can just run the apps I need. This way, I have one fleet with 3 to 5 devices. Otherwise, I need to make more fleets as each RPI has differs slightly and requires slightly different apps to run (let me know if this would be a better approach then my thought).

I tried following the tutorial on this blogpost. This one seems heavily outdated though. When composing the one docker-compose.yml file from merging the two apps named in the description, I noticed in the two original yml-files there is on both of them a section with hostname. This is not mentioned in the blogpost.

Further more, when I merge the apps, I don’t get the containers hostname, multiroom-client and multiroom-server up and running at all. The container sound-supervisor does get up and running but displays a lot of errors.

Before I can get a look at the logs it mentions in the error message, the container restarts so a SSH connection is lost and re-established but that all goes too quick to extract the log and it’s content.

Further, if I go to the ip-address of my Raspberry Pi in a browser, I get a 403 error. I am expecting to see at least either Pihole or Balena-sound-dashboard. Constructing an image with purely balena-sound or balena-pihole works without any errors.

I thought if I figure this all out, I have a good base in doing my own setup afterwards. So any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
