installer on latest raspian lite about rachelpios HOT 15 OPEN

I am getting the Unable to update after running
curl -fsS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rachelproject/rachelpiOS/master/installer.py | python

I can run rpi-update, but have to do:
sudo rpi-update

from rachelpios.

My solution had to do with having a bad source list in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/
I removed it, and the update continued.
Also, try
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get upgrade
That is most of what rpi-update is doing.
That might get you an update that contains rpi-update.
It really depends on what version of raspbian you are running. as well.

wait, just looked again, why are you root?

from rachelpios.

maybe I have habits from fedora. are you saying I can't update firmware as root?

from rachelpios.

not necessarily. I think the first question is what version of raspbian are you running?
If it's an older version, try this:
sudo apt-get install rpi-update
I think the focus of raspberry pi use is to stay in the default or non-root login, but maybe it's just that your version doesn't have it installed.

latest - 8.6

from rachelpios.

I also use lite rather than full as I like servers to be headless

from rachelpios.

I started over with a fresh https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest (2016-09-23) and this time ran everything as the user pi.
curl -fsS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rachelproject/rachelpiOS/master/installer.py | python (still as user pi)

I get

Error: Unable to upgrade Raspberry Pi firmware

If I comment out that line in the installer I get to

Error: Unable to set iptables MASQUERADE on eth0

(N.B. I am logged in over ssh to eth0 if that matters.)

from rachelpios.

Yeah, it looks like Raspbian has changed enough since this release that we need to redo some things. If you want a working RACHEL-Pi build, you might try starting with one of the pre-built versions here and then modifying from there.

Alternately, if you want to build from the script, you can start with 2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie. And of course, patches to bring the script up to work with more current versions are welcome :)

from rachelpios.

I can pretty much make the current script work, but I have to comment out some lines, which don't seem to be needed anyway. Just wanted to report the problem. I don't really want to download a 32G or 64G image to get mostly what I already have downloaded.

Good point. This has come up before -- so I've added it as an issue for our next release

from rachelpios.

Is captive portal supposed to work with this installer? I don't see that it does. The redirect php and 2 shtml files get installed with the clone of the contentshell, but I don't see any of the iptables rules that are in the rachelplus code except for the nat and standard gateway rules.

any chance of getting the output of iptables-save on the cap?
