Is the Umbrel install by script coming back any time? about umbrel HOT 12 OPEN

@highghlow if you can figure this out that would be great

I have figured out the steps needed to install umbrel manually. If everything goes to plan (Which is highly unlikely) the script might be done today (timezones...)

from umbrel.

Here you go:
https://github.com/highghlow/umbrel-install-script

Important info:
You should have a separate partition mounted to /data. In my testing the root partition used up 7GB. I would recommend shrinking the OS partition to 7.5GB and the making a partition for /data in the remaining space (700MB used on a base install). The /data partition should be added to fstab. Everything not in /data will be lost on update.

If any errors occur, please report them to my repo. Not here

update:
there was a warning:
It turns out everything dies after a reboot. Wait until I remove this message

I've fixed it, but I can't test the installer because my VM got borked

Thanks, I'll give it a try soon

I also hope the old installation will come back, because with the new instructions it's a headache, there's not even an ISO to install :/

I think it could be possible. The img file copies a tar.gz file with a debian installation inside it to the drive. I think they use a script to install umbrel on a fresh debian installation, package it up, add an installer and publish. But it's just a theory

I checked, it's true:

Maybe it's possible to make an installer

from umbrel.

They get the rootfs by exporting a debian docker container:

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to avoid all that and just host umbrel as a container using docker compose?

I thought about that. It maybe is possible, but mill require large-scale rewrites of umbreld.

Please mark the issue as closed. It now exists unofficially and it can't exist officially.
