Error running FRStack using wiki procedure

 

I am new to Nodered and FRStack. I followed the procedure on the Wiki to install and ran into an issue with the FRStack WebAPI.

I am using the procedure here:?/g/nodered-hamradio/wiki/22502


I did the steps to download and unzip FRStack. I verified each step worked.

Install FRStack WebAPI on RPi

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/frstack

cd /usr/local/frstack

sudo wget http://www.mkcmsoftware.com/download/FRStackWebApiRpi.zip

sudo unzip FRStackWebApiRpi

?

Run FRStack WebAPI from commandline

dotnet FRStackWebApi.dll --urls "http://*:5025"

When I enter the?botnet?command, I receive the following error:

pi@nodered:/usr/local/frstack$ dotnet FRStackWebApi.dll --urls "http://*:5025"

-bash: /usr/bin/dotnet: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error




Has anyone run into that?

Thanks,

Tom NY4I
 

Hi Tom,

I had the same error. What fixed everything for me was installing the service and then rebooting the pi.

Install FRStackWebApi as service

sudo cp FRStackWebApi.service /lib/systemd/system

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable FRStackWebApi

Hmm. I wrote the WiKi copying Mark’s instructions.?

I would think you would want 127.0.0.1 instead of *

Strange. Let me know if it works using the 127.0.0.1 address and I will update the WiKi

That’s a lot of Pi. Too bad they aren’t the kind you can eat. I prefer Boston Creame Pie.?

Sorry. Needed some humor today.?

I had the same problem with that step.? In the end, the step was not necessary?and I skipped it.? Here are my notes on the FRS install.? Suggest you re-boot?your Raspberry Pi and run all of the steps from the beginning, as shown in my notes.

I went through your updated instructions.

Is this usually this hard? FRStackWebAPI ending with error code of "error code" is curious to say the least.

Not much in the sense of diagnostics here. This is on a Pi3B now with Buster. Rebooted several times since upgrade.

I'm willing to start from scratch on anything else if that it easier.

Heck - I'll take an IMG if we just want to test the hardware.

Mine went very smooth, using my notes. ? I did start with a "fresh" build on the Raspberry Pi using the Debian OS.

Thanks. I will break out a fresh download of Buster.

I usually use Buster-Lite. Any reason to use a desktop config with Nodered/FRStack?

I may be wrong but I am assuming that after the flows are built, one goes to a web page to access them—not the Flow editor. I hope that is right and I do not access the flows from only the local interface of the RPi with a desktop.

Thanks,

Tom NY4I

PS Sorry for the noob questions.

Yes, you go to any browser?and access Node-Red.? IP:1880 for the flows and IP:1880/ui for the dashboard.

You do not need a desktop....However, ? Mark puts his Flows on the Raspberry Pi, "/usr/local/frstack" directory and I found running a browser on the Raspberry Pi desktop an easy way to import the flows.? Then thereafter I used my desktop browser.

I can send you the MKCM flows directly for import into your desktop Node-Red browser, if you like.? Just?let me know.? Then you do not need a Raspberry Pi desktop for accessing the flows.

You do need to access, with a terminal program, to make changes to the "/usr/local/frstack/appsettings.json" configuration file.? Settings are shown in MKCM's?instructions:

Thanks for the help on this issue. The problem was that I installed the 64 bit version of aspnetcore-runtime by mistake. My Pi (3B) did not like that version.

This was my mistake but I followed the bolded instructions versus reading closer and getting the 32 bit version (in the comment below it).

I might suggest something in that Wiki article like this to help the next person to avoid that mistake.
If you have a 32 bit Raspberry PI, sudo wget this file:?
