Hi Mender Team and All:
I have been using mender-convert Version: 2.1.0b1-dirty with docker and I have been mender-converting RPI3B+(stretch)-based system and doing OTA update for some time using my hosted mender account. It has been long since it did the setup with lots of help from Drew and Mirza I believe.
I don’t want to mess it up.
Now I am porting my system to RPI4B+bullseye-lite.
How do I upgrade my mender-convert to the more recent one? Which version? So that I can use it for both RPI 3B+ and 4B.
Greatly appreciate your help/guidance.
Thanks,
Raj
Hmm, I’m not sure I follow?
Are you afraid of losing the custom setup you have, or that the new setup won’t work?
For 1. Trying out the newer convert version you could try and download the newer mender-convert by following the instructions here, and do a conversion for RPi{3|4}. Then try adding on your custom setup afterwards, all the while not touching your old setup.
Or am I missing the mark here completely?
oleorhagen: Thanks for the mender-convert link. My current setup is under docker.
Which version of mender-convert should I clone for RPI3B+ & 4B?
I have Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS on my laptop.
Thanks,
raj
Thanks oleorhagen,
I clean installed mender-convert using github and followed the instruction for the hosted mender to mender-convert but I get:
2022-08-28 11:24:54 [FATAL] [mender-convert-package] You can try adjusting the MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB variable to increase available space, or modify one of the variables IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE, IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE or IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR to reduce the size of the root filesystem.
In configs/mender_convert_config, I have:
MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB=“60129”
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE=“0”
IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE=“0”
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR=“1.5”
MENDER_DATA_PART_SIZE_MB=“256”
MENDER_BOOT_PART_SIZE_MB=“512”
Here’s the log:
