Upgraded to bookworm.
Current kernel is
Code: Select all
Linux b3-hiiumaa 6.1.77-1 #1 Wed Feb 7 02:13:22 CET 2024 armv5tel
Good idea to push the latest working kernel to the repo after testing it locally. All services were up and running without any additional tinkering.
Code: Select all
root@b3-hiiumaa:~# systemctl list-units --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
0 loaded units listed.
As usual failure was not an option as I have no access to the remote location where my b3 works. This time I forgot to check the uptime before the reboot but it was definitely less than 992 days. Thanks for the good work @MouettE

Hello everyone,
Who can help me.
I only can install Bookworm with 10Gb space.
I want to use the whole disk with Debian bookworm.
What must i change in the install.ini ?
Thank you.

As stated in the install.ini file :
Code: Select all
## size (default: 10; minimal 8): size of system partition to create in GiB (if applicable). Use 'full' to use
## all the available space.
You need to set
size=full in install.ini to use the whole disk

Is anyone else getting a 403 error when trying to update from repo.excito.org?

Yes I'm aware, domain was parked, we are working on it to get it back online.

It is good practice to separate system partitions from user writeable partitions as bad things happen when the root partition becomes completely filled. Just a few examples:

While you recover the domain, where can we find
b3-bookworm-install-1.0.zip?
I don't see the install script in this image here:
https://github.com/Excito/bookworm-imag ... s/tag/v1.0
Thanks!

I have setup install.excito.com to the same location, install files are available at
http://install.excito.com/latest/b3/
That's expected, this projet only holds the debian image. The install/rescue system along with the install script are available on the buildroot repository :

What is the delay with renewing the domain? Is there anything we can do to help, such as crowdfunding?

The excito domains (including excito.com and excito.org) is owned by B2BCS company in Canada, they are responsible for renewing the domains (I don't have access to that). They don't mind paying for it it's just not on the top of their todo as they don't earn any money from this IP. I did a follow-up today, I'm confident it will be done in the next few days.

That worked and the installer too. Thanks a bunch!
Can't believe this slick but aging hardware will have security-updates support until 2028!
p.s.: I am located in Montreal Canada so if you need me to buy a pint of beer for someone to accelerate that domain renewal (or transfer) I can certainly do it.

Just for curiosity:
@MouettE Do you have statistics about apt requests for the rolling kernel releases? I have configured unattended upgrades, but probably not everyone has.
Meanwhile one of my b3 boxes runs a pihole besides a lot of different services (dlna, web services, smb, …) and I noticed that the cpu is reaching its limits, (load > 1). But it still does its duty and will for a long time if you continue to help with the upgrades. Once again thanks a lot for your work!

Helo folks,
I just want to thank those who still maintain Bubba 3. I am a "silent user", more silent than the few others left, but always very fond of this old but efficient and practical device. I reconnected today to see if there were actually updates that I'm "forced" to apply because, and this makes Bubba 3 even more lovable to me, this is his second HD that breaks and therefore, we start again for the third time! Thanks again, it may be useless but seeing things that last over time has its own, perhaps even a little romantic, value!
