VM Upgrade from 4.5.8-0 to 5.0.8 results in Rockstor not starting

Any progress on solving this problem? Maybe a new/updated version of the RaspberryPi4 image?

@peracchi Hello there.
Re:

We are working towards our next pre-built installers, but you can build your own, with all pending updates pre-installed, and help with our ongoing testing of those profiles.

We now have 15.5.RaspberryPi4, and 15.6.RaspberryPi4 (whose upstream is around RC status). Also look the the following forum post:

But since then we have begun the move in that repo to towards V10 of Kiwi-ng and have run into an issue with the Tailscale repos no longer responding as they did previously in V9 Kiwi-ng, so we have the following now open to address that:

As always community input/testing/fixes on such things is part of the “community endeavour” bit in

About Us

The Rockstor Project is an Open Collective Non-Profit/Non-Business Open Source community endeavour.

And the Pi4 profiles are way more labour intensive as they take way longer to build and test as they depend on relatively slow/specific hardware. Hence the bold note in the above referenced forum thread.

If you could try building the 15.5 &/or 15.6 Pi4 installers as per the current master profile state, in both V9 and V10 Kiwi-ng we could confirm if the Tailscale issue is in fact down to the Kiwi-ng version used. We did have successful installer builds on v9 Kiwi-ng just recently, just before moving to the V10 work. See: the draft predecessor of the PR where we added the 15.6 profiles for the tests carried out:

All but Pi4 Leap 15.6 profiles tested in linked draft PR: community feedback/contributions/fixes as always welcome.

With more community input on our now rather broad range of installer profiles we can more confidently continue their existence. But without this engagement we should drop any profiles with low engagement/interest to save development time which is obviously in short supply.

Hope that helps. In short it would be great to see if this exists in our new 15.5 or 15.6 installers. And much work has been done by the core contributors to get us this far. I.e. Current installer uses 5.0.9-0 testing rpm which is proven working on initial and subsequent boots. But more testing is needed. And more community input is also required to maintain and confidently publish any installers we end up pre-building and distributing for more general use.
