Re:Omada SDN Controller 4.1.5 for Devuan, Debian and other Linux systems

Hi guys

 

Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'm attempting to install this on my RPi3

I've checked the java version...which is:

 

openjdk version "1.8.0_212"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_212-8u212-b01-1+rpi1-b01)

OpenJDK Client VM (build 25.212-b01, mixed mode)

 

I assume that's correct?

 

But running dpkg I get:

(Reading database ... 65474 files and directories currently installed.)

Preparing to unpack omada-sdn-controller_4.1.5-1_all.deb ...

[info] Omada SDN Controller is not running.

Unpacking omada-sdn-controller (4.1.5-1) over (4.1.5-1) ...

Setting up omada-sdn-controller (4.1.5-1) ...

[....] Starting Omada SDN Controller:Invalid JVM name specified server

. ok

Processing triggers for man-db (2.8.5-2) ...

 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

@MiloWiles Problem is jsvc doesn't like you openjdk runtime probably. Could also be you need to do a export JAVA_HOME first.

But unlike the requirements says I have it running in my docker container but not using jsvc tho.

 

So if you start it manually with:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-armhf/jre
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-armhf/jre/bin/java -server -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=60 -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=30 -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:-UsePerfData -Deap.home=/opt/tplink/OmadaController -cp /opt/tplink/OmadaController/lib/*:  com.tplink.omada.start.OmadaLinuxMain

 

it probably will run. (you need the adjust the java home directory maybe)

@MiloWiles 

One thing I also noticed. When you start it first time. The mongodb takes  some time to create the databases.  Too long for the Omada SDN controller.  

I fixed that by just let it run until you see in the mongodb.log is has finished creating the databases and journals. Then stop and start it again.

@Milo just found /etc/default/omadad 

you might wanna check that file and correct it and try it again.

Please note that running Omada Controller without Privilege Separation done by jsvc bears a high risk of root exploits due to possible bugs in the Java JRE.

 

Don't expose a controller running w/o Privilege Separation to the Internet, run it only in an isolated, fully trusted network!

 

As for jsvc issues: they are probably caused by dependencies with Oracle JRE8. When I have more spare time, I will take a look to other methods for Privilege Separation in order to get rid of jsvc and its dependencies. But if this would require modifications of TP-Link's Java classes, we're unfortunately out of luck.

 

Also note that /etc/default/omadad was used only by old controller versions, while in V3.2.10-2 and V4.1.5-1 this file has been merged with file CONFIG in Omada Controller's home directory /opt/tplink/OmadaController.

@Ronald1965 Thanks for that.

 

It does indeed start...however, the mongoldb never seems to fully initialise.

I don't get a mongodb.log file generated either...so I suspect a problem with that.

I might just give up at this point and try and get the new build working on my QNAP NAS instead! :)

Over in the QNAP forums a user had the previous version built as a QPKG for it.

@MiloWiles Did you check directory permissions? And if its running as omadad user or root.

In docker I use gosu omadad "java....."

@Ronald1965 - thanks again.

I su'd to root to run it (after I found the permissions were set for "omadad" on the directories in /opt/tplink/OmadaController

 

 

EDIT: maybe I was too quick to assume errors earlier.

It's now starting the mongodb.

 

However, I suspect we're now in to the versioning issue of MongoDB as reported earlier in the thread.

The default for Buster is v2.4.14 and obviously not compatible.

 

I don't want to rebuild the Pi given that I'm using it for other stuff.

Back to the QNAP!

Sure, as I wrote in post #1: SDN Controller needs at least V2.6 of mongodb, while Raspbian Jessie, Stretch and Buster stick with V2.4.
That's why Ronald did build a docker image for Raspbian which uses a modern
mongodb package.

Yesterday I have updated Mongodb to 3.1.12 version on a RPi. I'm used this guide: http://koenaerts.ca/compile-and-install-mongodb-on-raspberry-pi/ The process need some hours but now I have Omada 4.1.5 on Raspbian Buster!! Roby
