[Bug] Crystal build fails

[Northernside]

Describe the bug

While running crystal build src/invidious.cr --release --error-trace it fails with the following error:

invidious@raspberrypi:~/invidious $ crystal build src/invidious.cr --release --error-trace
In src/invidious.cr:23:1
 23 | require "pg"
      ^
Error: while requiring "pg"

In lib/pg/src/pg.cr:1:1

     ^
Error: can't find file 'log'

If you're trying to require a shard:
- Did you remember to run `shards install`?
- Did you make sure you're running the compiler in the same directory as your shard.yml?

Yes, I already executed shards install and I'm in the same directory as the shard.yml.

Steps to Reproduce

Just install Invidious on a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB (using http://public.portalier.com/raspbian/ for crystal-lang).

Logs

No browser log bc yk it isn't running yet haha
Screenshots

Additional context

I'm trying to install Invidious on a Raspberry Pi 4B running on Rasbian via a 256GB SSD.

Please post your crystal version: crystal --version

[Northernside]

crystal --version output:

Crystal 0.33.0 (2020-03-02)

LLVM: 5.0.1
Default target: arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

[unixfox]

Please use at least crystal 1.1.0. We don't support older versions.

That's why you are having issues compiling invidious.

[Northernside]

That's the thing. The only working method to use crystal on a Raspberry Pi was http://public.portalier.com/raspbian/. But it seems like it's outdated. Do you know any other alternative to use on a Raspberry Pi?

[unixfox]

Depending on your raspberry pi version, for example if you have a raspberry pi 3 or 4 then you may consider using our docker image available for ARM64/armv8: #361 (comment). You will need a ARM64/ARMv8 operating system though, raspbian support ARM64: https://old.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/gs6omd/raspberry_pi_os_for_arm64_finally_released/ or you can use ubuntu core or archlinux arm.

@Northernside ARM has no official releases, so you'll either have to use docker, as recommended by unixfox, or follow the instructions to install crystal from source: https://crystal-lang.org/install/from_sources/ (NB: this requires cross-compilation at some poinf from a x86 or x86_64 host).

I tried the Docker variant now but the terminal is spammen with standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: exec format error. What should I do?

You aren't using a ARMv8/ARM64 operating system but a ARMv7 operating system. Please install one of these operating system on your Raspberry Pi:

• Raspbian ARM64: https://old.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/gs6omd/raspberry_pi_os_for_arm64_finally_released/
• Ubuntu ARM64: https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi (64 bits)
• ArchLinux ARM64: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-3

And make sure to use the correct docker image: quay.io/invidious/invidious:latest-arm64

Sadly, the Raspberry Pi can't boot any other OS than the armv7 Raspbian from an external SSD without a micro SDCard. So I have to wait until tomorrow when my micro SDCards arrive. I'll update you tomorrow.

[Northernside]

So,
update for today: My Pi is now running on ARM64 Raspbian. Docker itself is working but Invidious makes some problems under Docker.

Log.

Does somebody know what to do now?

[unixfox]

Not sure how you installed docker, but your docker seems broken. Did you install docker using this script: https://get.docker.com/?
And you forgot to use the correct docker image, it's this one: quay.io/invidious/invidious:latest-arm64

[Northernside]

Yeah sorry about that. I installed Docker now correctly and used the correct Docker image. No errors so far but if I open the website via mypi'saddress:3000 nothing happens. Do you know why? And yes, I opened the port 3000

[unixfox]

You should try to remove all the docker volumes and containers with docker system prune -a and try again. Make sure to turn off invidious completely with docker-compose down twice before that.

I think I've seen this weird blank page bug before but I don't remember how the user fixed the issue.

@SamantazFox any ideas?

[Northernside]

Didn't help sadly (pruning everything).

[unixfox]

Oh that's this page that you are talking about. Invidious listen by default only on localhost and not on the public IP so you will have to change:

ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:3000:3000"

to:

ports:
      - "3000:3000"

[Northernside]

Ohh haha, yeah thanks! Imma try that as soon as Windows finished the update haha. I'll update you. Could take some times yk Windows is slow asf

[Northernside]

It's working.. kinda. Videos aren't displayed sadly, do you know why?

[unixfox]

Click on trending, they should display.

[Northernside]

I'm sorry for the late answer but GitHub had (and having it now) a major outage.

Thanks, it's working! Any way to make the Trending page as the starting page?

[Northernside]

Oh, and how do I change the port? I wan't Invidious to be run under the default HTTP port (80) but it isn't working when I change 3000:3000 to 80:80.

EDIT: Changed mapping to 80:3000. Working now
