Hello, Stupid question : how can I install openmptcprouter on a mini PC hard drive ? If I install Debian on it, I cannot reinstall on the booted system so how to proceed ? Many thanks for your help !!!

Via an USB key with any Linux based live OS and then via something like wget -O- 'https://download.openmptcprouter.com/release/v0.60rc1-6.1/x86_64/targets/x86/64/openmptcprouter-v0.60rc1-6.1-r0+24843-acf40c022e-x86-64-generic-squashfs-combined.img.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

Thanks for the reply ! But can you write on a hard drive from a Debian-based live OS running on a USB stick ? No issue with permissions ? Second question: can I install the 5.4 version of OMR on a Debian 12.5 hard drive (once I fix the first question) ?

Yes, as when the OS is running on USB stick it doesn't access the hard drive, so you can write without issues. OMR is a full image os, you can write is from any live running OS it will erase everything on destination drive.

And all worked perfectly : I am on v0.60rc1 and the VPS on 0.1029-test (is it the right version for the VPS ?). Merci encore Ycarus !

For the VPS you can use rc version or snapshot version, if the kernel is correctly using a kernel 6.1 it's ok uname -a to verify (else it's indicated in status page).
