Ansible issues when using Python installed via dietpi-software

ShrewdGreyhound · 18 December 2021 12:38

Hi guys,

DietPi: 7.9.3 (freshly imaged 3 days ago)
Hardware: Raspi 3B+
APT is up to date

Notable software installed:

Pihole (Dietpi-software)
Unbound (Dietpi-software)
Python (Dietpi-software referred to as DP-S Python from now on )
Ansible (via APT)

First Issue summary:
DP-S Python (both under a venv and not) causes a huge bunch of errors when trying to run ansible playbooks, python installed via APT then running the playbook has no issues.

Second Issue summary:
Running the ansible playbook with APT python installs docker with no large errors - I’ve noticed that one of my containers is unable to get DNS and results in one of my grafana containers restarting every 20 seconds:

IMAGE_NAME=grafana%2Fgrafana-oss%3A8.3.0-ubuntu 
Error: ✗ Get "https://grafana.com/api/plugins/repo/flant-statusmap-panel": context deadline exceeded 
(Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

For issue #1 I’ve previously tried a bunch of things but I don’t know enough to tell whats the actual root cause

For issue #2 I’ve seen mentions of needing to edit the resolvconf.conf file on my system as its something to do with unbound and pihole not playing nice with Docker but I dont have that file and manually creating it did not achieve what I was hoping for. Unfortunately I am not very good at docker.

The reason I am coming to the diet-pi forums is the dev for this has unfortunately ignored my GitHub issues for about 3 months.

Since I have waited this long its unlikely I will be getting help from them ( as they have answered tickets above and below mine in the time since )

I have tried literally every single solution I could think of and all google searches + looking ‘solutions’ in github tickets, none of it worked for me (unless I made mistakes)

I recognise I am not entitled to an answer, this is just a last ditch effort of mine as I am at my wits end trying to solve it

Happy to add extra details and I will try to reply as promptly

Hi,

can you share the GitHub link on the issue you are reffering to pls.

Furthermore it seems you are trying to execute some script. Maybe you can share this script. It seems the script is failing to install docker-compose. Both Docker as well as docker-compose can be installed via dietpi-software.

In addition it would be good to share some more system details.

Required Information

Distro version | echo $G_DISTRO_NAME $G_RASPBIAN
Kernel version | uname -a

Hi Joulinar!

Github issue link: Grafana Restarts - Resolvconf.conf has been set - (Still getting Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers) · Issue #293 · geerlingguy/internet-pi · GitHub (this was a more recent one but the original ticket is >3months, created another ticket because I originally used a different method of install suggested by another user)

Script (or rather Ansible playbook): GitHub - geerlingguy/internet-pi: Raspberry Pi config for all things Internet.

Distro version: bullseye 0
Kernel version: Linux DietPi 5.10.63-v8+ #1488 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 18 16:16:16 GMT 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

The intent was to get an internet monitoring tool up and running to prove to my ISP we do have weird connection drops (what isn’t measured cant be proven!)

The exact steps taken are as follows:

Install DP-S Python
Run pip3 install ansible
Clone this repository: git clone GitHub - geerlingguy/internet-pi: Raspberry Pi config for all things Internet., then enter the repository directory: cd internet-pi.
Install requirements: ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml (if you see ansible-galaxy: command not found, restart your SSH session or reboot the Pi and try again)
Make copies of the following files and customize them to your liking:

example.inventory.ini to inventory.ini (replace IP address with your Pi’s IP, or comment that line and uncomment the connection=local line if you’re running it on the Pi you’re setting up).
example.config.yml to config.yml

Run the playbook: ansible-playbook main.yml
Results in issue #1 shown in original post and logs

I can confirm I have not tried installing docker and docker-compose via DP-S. If you require any other system details please let me know - I am not the most experienced user so I dont know all of what you might need

But honestly I’m not sure what the benefit of this application is.

Oh that reminded me I left only internet-monitoring enabled, pihole via this ansible playbook is of course disabled.

As for the purpose it’s so I can hold my ISP to account and get them to actually fix issues as they refuse to do so without logs, if you are aware of another better project to monitor internet speed and get it into a graph an DB please let me know (I know this read sarcastically but I am being anything but that)

Anyway that’s awesome you got it to run, was not aware of Portainer prior to this, will give this a go in a couple of hours or so

the following might be way more simple https://github.com/frdmn/docker-speedtest-grafana

Just need to install Docker, Docker-Compose and Git. The rest is just bringing up the container.

Thanks mate - apologies for the delay, life got in the way. I have one more issue currently as I am unable to remove the ansible installed docker (wanting to ensure I install dietpi Docker to ensure I get the right configs) via apt purge docker and instead of removing it, it spits out:

root-user@DietPi:~# apt-get purge docker
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package 'docker' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

and yet when I run docker I get a valid output as seen below, suggesting its still installed:

root-user@DietPi:~# docker

Usage:  docker [OPTIONS] COMMAND

A self-sufficient runtime for containers

Options:
      --config string      Location of client config files (default "/root/.docker")
  -c, --context string     Name of the context to use to connect to the daemon (overrides DOCKER_HOST env var and default context set with "docker context use")
  -D, --debug              Enable debug mode
  -H, --host list          Daemon socket(s) to connect to
  -l, --log-level string   Set the logging level ("debug"|"info"|"warn"|"error"|"fatal") (default "info")
      --tls                Use TLS; implied by --tlsverify
      --tlscacert string   Trust certs signed only by this CA (default "/root/.docker/ca.pem")
      --tlscert string     Path to TLS certificate file (default "/root/.docker/cert.pem")
      --tlskey string      Path to TLS key file (default "/root/.docker/key.pem")
      --tlsverify          Use TLS and verify the remote
  -v, --version            Print version information and quit

Management Commands:
  app*        Docker App (Docker Inc., v0.9.1-beta3)
  
  ...

Google up to page 6 had no relevant results (only irrelevant ubuntu stuff) for me when searching for “apt states package is uninstalled but it still persists”

ok no worry, we could try to re-use what you already have. Try following as first step

dietpi-software install 17 134 185

Thank you very much mate, I ended up reimaging and installing docker, portainer and python from DP-S and it’s succeeded!

I can see speed tests and ping

I will look into the simpler method that you suggested
