interesting…

the install of the 32 bit system on the PI4, results in a hybrid
(pi3 is ok)

64 bit kernel (aarch64) and 32 bit user space (armhf)
| edit, also tested 32 bit bullseye on pi4, installer worked as expected, MM running fine, started by pm2 (also mixed env, uanme is aarch64, but runtime is 32 bit

@karsten13 the buster image is still in the archives

warning

I am incorrect…

they removed that image… only the bullseye image remains

but nodejs for armv6l is discontinued after v11… so MM will no longer install or update or run on Pi0W after the 2.24 release AS LONG as you do NOT flash the OS image again… (which would wipe node 16) as node 16 is not available for armv6l devices anymore

This was already the case with Bulleyes since May or June 2023.
To have a 32bit kernel just add this in /boot/config.txt :
arm_64bit=0

Result is:

it’s armv7l and not aarch64 ;)

The main problem with aarch64 is some app with compile for x64 using but we can execute it because like you says: it’s an 32bits system
Again… like we know using x64 raspbian OS (full) with a pi it’s not really stable and can make some trouble
So I’m agree with you: it’s complex for manage any update

The install script worked okay on Armbian 23.8.1 (Bookworm). PM2 install worked great. Screensaver disable didn’t work the first time but after a manual configuration to auto-boot into the user and then a couple of boots it seems to be doing well.

@bhepler thanks for the feedback

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil so… playing with bookworm, I’m gonna officially mark it not recommended - while it works - I used your scripts…

if I reboot, I lose PM2, it won’t autostart - and it’s spawning as if it’s a fresh install.

VNC no longer works - Wayland don’t support it, and if I back off to x11, it won’t start.

Other misc issues here and there. I’d highly recommend staying with bullseye for production.

@BKeyport pm2 , yeh a pain in the rear

the command to setup auto start works when run manually but not in my script for some reason

pm2 startup

it will.output the command to execute
copy/,paste that hit enter
pm2 start all
pm2 save

VNC, yes they said so
