[BUG] TB Gateway 3.4.2 + Docker on RPI4

[elgutierrez]

Describe the bug I'm trying to run tb-gateway on RPI 4 using docker. I'm pulling the latest image (3.4.2), but when I run the docker run command, I get exec /bin/sh: exec format error

Error traceback (If available):

sudo docker run -it   -v ~/.tb-gateway/logs:/thingsboard_gateway/logs   -v ~/.tb-gateway/extensions:/thingsboard_gateway/extensions   -v ~/.tb-gateway/config:/thingsboard_gateway/config   --name tb-gateway --restart unless-stopped   thingsboard/tb-gateway

exec /bin/sh: exec format error

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: Raspbian
• Thingsboard IoT Gateway: 3.4.2

Its because docker container is not made for Rpi. Pls guys, add Rpi container to official list.

@elgutierrez, you can try building an image file on RPi 4 for yourself.

My machine info:

• Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
• Linux 6.1.0-rpi4-rpi-v8 # 1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.54-1+rpt2 (2023-10-05) aarch64 GNU/Linux

Step 01. Install required libs

$ sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip libglib2.0-dev git

Step 02. Clone the source and build an image on RPi

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard-gateway.git --depth 1
$ cd thingsboard-gateway
~/thingsboard-gateway $ cp setup.py requirements.txt ./docker
~/thingsboard-gateway $ cp -r ./thingsboard_gateway ./docker
~/thingsboard-gateway $ docker build -t local-gateway docker
~/thingsboard-gateway $ docker images

REPOSITORY               TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED          SIZE
local-gateway            latest    43899620cfb9   21 minutes ago   612MB

Step 03. Run

$ docker run -it \
-v /host/path/to/config:/thingsboard_gateway/config \
-v /host/path/to/extensions:/thingsboard_gateway/extensions \
-v /host/path/to/log:/thingsboard_gateway/logs \
--name tb-gateway \
--restart always local-gateway

Note

You will need to prepare the relevant config files to get the tb-gateway up and running properly.

Thanks @simenkid! I had to install from the sources as the latest release still have Bacnet issues but it might be useful in the future

this is because cryptography requires the rust compiler which can be installed by modifying the dockerfile

# Install Rust RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl && \ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y && \ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc && \ /bin/bash -c "source $HOME/.bashrc" && \ rustup update

The tb_updater.py file has import version and this module cannot be found

Hi,

We have created a separated tag for RPi - tb-gateway:3.5.1-rpi, please try to use it instead of latest. Unfortunately, at the moment we cannot combine them.
