I can’t install unrar from dietpi-software, it’s not in packege list. I think it was removed from them at last few days, but unrar-free is able to install manualy too.

Can you fix it in the next dietpi-release ?
NOTE: I’m using Dietpi 8.25.1 in a Proxmox-VM on a Raspberry Pi 4

Well it should be there. Can you check following

dietpi-software list | grep 170

Thanks for the help, I got it fixed.

Upgrading from Debian 11 to Debian 12 with “sudo sed -i ‘s/bullseye/bookworm/g’ /etc/apt/sources.list” wasn’t entirely clean.

I reinstalled the VM from Debian 12.4.0-netinst-arm64.iso on my Raspberry Pi 4 Proxmox 8 system, and then started the “./dietpi-installer” and set up the VM as a “generic device”.

I now use the VM as a template. Everything is working fine again now.

It’s a shame that you can’t download a ready-made default-arm64 VM from the dietpi.com website. That would save a lot of work.

All you would have to do is zip a backup of the VM (3 files approx. 900 MB).

If you are interested, I would provide my default arm64 VM.

The staff is welcome to contact me about this.

### Creating a feature request #### Is your feature request related to a prob…lem? Please describe: VM on Raspberry Pi4 in arm64 Architektur =========================== I'm using Proxmox 8 on a Raspberry 4 with 8 GB RAM, but Proxmox 8 is ready to run on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB RAM, too. Proxmox 8 installation on Raspberry Pi 4 (with 4 or 8 GB RAM) ======================================= I has used this manual (sorry, it's in german) : [https://www.bachmann-lan.de/proxmox-8-auf-dem-raspberry-pi-4-installieren/](url) A Debian (bookworm) or even better a DietPi (bookworm) installation is suitable as a host system. Use a 64GB or 128GB SD-Card and A xTB SSD with USB2SATA-Adapter. LAN Devic on the Proxmoxhost is a Bridge vmbr0 . Limitations: However, there are a few limitations with Proxmox 8 on the Raspberry Pi 4. As far as I know these are: - the VMs must be set up as EFI systems. - No third-party CPU emulation is possible, only the ARM64 architecture of the RPi3 can be used (CPU selection: HOST; 1 socket, 4 cores) - There are generally no ready-made VMs on the internet, you have to create them yourself - The same applies to live CD/DVD images for the ARM architecture. So far I have only found a suitable and bootable LiveDVD ISO from Kali Linux. Creating a DietPi VM: ============= If you want to use DietPi as a VM, you first have to set up a Debian system from the Debian-Netinst-ARM64 ISO and then use the “dietpi-installer” to convert Dietpi as a "Generic Device". Problem that can occur: It can happen that the LAN device "eth0" is lost. Remedy: - Find the current LAN device with 'sudo dhclient -v' - Enter the identified LAN device, e.g. enp0s11, in '/etc/network/interfaces': allow-hotplug enp0s11 iface enp0s11 inet dhcp dns-nameservers 9.9.9.9 149.112.112.112 - then reboot Rename 'enp0s11' to 'eth0' : ============================ - This works best with raspi-config - add the raspberrypi repo 'https://archive.raspberrypi.org' for bookworm with the correct key and install raspi-config with 'sudo apt install -y raspi-config' - start raspi-config and use '6 Advanced Oprions' and then use the function 'A2 Network interface Names' and reboot. - change entries in '/etc/network/interfaces' from 'enp0s11' to 'eth0' and reboot. Thats all, enjoy ;-) . NOTE: You can make good use of a Raspberry Pi 4 with this: On the Raspberry Pi4 Host: xfce desktop system with vnc-remote; Proxmox 8-host, transmission-daemon, Jellyfin Mediacenter and Komga book archive additionally 3 VMs at the same time, 1 Dietpi VM with openmediavault 7, 1 Dietpi VM as a Wordpress server, 1 Dietpi VM as an xfce desktop system. With active aluminum cooler the Pi is around 40 degrees Celsius

Enjoy it.

simply connecting to the existing topic would have been enough

Ludger.Kuehm · January 16, 2024, 9:14am

ok, it was my first attempt to create a post on Github.
