Hi there people!
I am new to this forum and to NextCloud.
Do you have any recommendations for an Odroid HC4 install?
I purchased it with a NextCloudPI install in mind, but now i don’t see a fitting image.
Can I use the HC2 one? Or is it better to use Armbian?
I am hopelessly lost. I thought it would be easier.
I wanted to have a slim lean installation and OS so that I will get the max performance out of NCP.
But it also should be easily updateable for security against attacks. see this (german)
I’m totally with you. Something isn’t working right with NCP on the HC4. I have brought this up on the Telegram chat group, but was faced with rejection mostly and “the installer works” claims.
I did start a thread about all my issues over here:
If I can help you somehow, let me know what you have trouble with.
For me it actually seems to work now!
See my self-answered thread over here:
Just wanted to share my experience for those coming here due to this problem:
managed to install Nextcloudpi to several different SBC but failed on odroidHC4
even though there’s a current image ( Index of /downloads/NextCloudPi_odroidHC4_12-12-20/ )
Problem was, the odroidHC4 never gave the option to boot from SD
(the net install at the boot menu through exit / “netboot_default” gave the option to install debian 10, 11 or ubuntu), but no chance to boot from the prepared image (yes, I did change the boot to boot from SD - no success)
The solution is as easy as it is hard to find and is base on incompatible petiboot:
(at the very bottom)
in short:
boot menu exit to console and execute following commands:
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd3
exit and reboot, enjoy starting your NCP from SDCard
I just pulled the NextCloudPi_odroidHC4_12-12-20 image down and followed the instructions by FraZon. It boots up to a login prompt from the SD-card, but the default username/password of pi/raspberry is not working. Is there a different one for this image or another login I can try. At this point, it doesn’t look like it is accessible from remote ports like SSH or 4443.
I dont have my HC4 runing right now, since it’s still missing the SATA support, but after booting the device, try to go to https://
it’d bring you to the Initialization Page
Dear all,
I followed all advices found here and got the NCP running on the Odroid HC4.
However, in SSH i lack SATA support. It took me some time, but after understanding df -h in the shell I do not see the SATA drives.
USB drives are shown.
the Nextcloudpi image does NOT support odroidHC4
i’ve been waiting 2 years for a working image, the 2020 image didn’t have SATA support, the 2021 doesn’t even boot. Maybe the 2022 image will work, but I wouldn’t wait for this.
instead of removing the HC4 image they keep people trying and failing.
→ only working way:
use the odroid hc4 armbian image and install NCP afterwards
