Chroot on OpenELEC

danman

Hi all,

I wanted to better utilize my OPI so I created chroot with Debian in my OpenELEC. Now I have nginx, openvpn, samba, webcam and other deamons running on my OPI.
If someone would be interrested, I wrote a manual how to set it up here: https://blog.danman.eu/orangepi-installing-debian-chroot-into-openelec/

I'm looking forward for your comments.

Great job,

One comment, "second-stage" doesn't have to be made on OpenELEC, it can be done on your host using /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static

1. apt install qemu-user-static
   
2. host:# cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static debian_armhf/usr/bin/ && chroot debian_armhf && rm debian_armhf/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static
   
3. I have no name!@host:/# ./debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage

Copy code

Thanks for your comment. I don't like installing utilities I'll use only once so I decided to finish it natively on OPI.

It may be better to have a clean Debian with Kodi from Jerney's OpenElec...

Ok, now I did it vice-versa. OpenELEC chroot on Armbian, check here: https://blog.danman.eu/orangepi- ... hroot-into-armbian/

Hello.
Thanks for your work. I on PC (Debian machine) did not manage to collect debootstrap, - second-stage comes to the end with an error. But with your file everything turned out successfully, both update, and upgrade.
The ultimate goal was to launch mjpg-streamer. mjpg-streamer was successfully built from source codes on Orange Pi, but with a autostart there were problems because of my not competence. As a result for a autostart I registered the following command
"nohup /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -b \
-i "/usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer/input_uvc.so \
-d /dev/video0 -y -r 640x480 -f 15 -q 50" \
-o "/usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer/output_http.so \
-w /www/webcam -p 8090"  >/dev/null 2>&1"
Can to someone it is useful.

Hello! It's great that you were able to set up a Debian chroot on your OpenELEC and expand its functionality. Your manual is well-written and easy to follow, with clear instructions and helpful screenshots. It's also great that you included some troubleshooting tips for potential issues that users may encounter. exhibit of sorrows
