thanks in advance
tom

Welcome to the forum!

I was able to install it like they mentioned on their github page with a RPi 4 (took over 10 minutes, so be patient. Sometimes I thought the SBC frooze):

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/koush/scrypted/main/docker/install-scrypted-dependencies-linux.sh | sudo SERVICE_USER=$USER bash

But you have also the option to use docker / docker compose.

Welcome to our community.

You could start sharing what the exact issue is. Something like an error message would be fine. As well we have an issue template that for some reason your removed. Means, some information on your system would be helpful as well.

ignoring ENV SCRYPTED_DOCKER_SERVE=true

ignoring ENV SCRYPTED_CAN_RESTART=true

ignoring ENV SCRYPTED_VOLUME=/server/volume

ignoring ENV SCRYPTED_INSTALL_PATH=/server

Scrypted SERVICE_USER root is not allowed.
this is what i get when i use the script mentioned above.

Did run it as root and not as dietpi user?

how do i do this?
thanks

i just log in through ssh on my diet pi odroid and then run the script.

I installed homebridge also and that works like a charm.

if you’re logged in as root, type su - dietpi to use the dietpi user.

ok ill try this! thanks

o man its working! tx a lot for this.
i was wondering what i was doing wrong, because with homebridge i didn’t have to use su-dietpi!

The app you are running don’t like to be executed as root. Therefore it would need to be started as non-root user, I guess.

Just wanted to add my experience in late 2023 in case others search for install help on a RPi 4 / dietpi (this thread is the 1st hit on google for “scrypted dietpi”):

  • I installed as the dietpi user as noted above (su - dietpi if you are root)
  • it did take some time for the docker install to complete with no feedback (just over 8 mins for me – 494 seconds).
docker compose down
docker compose rm -rf
docker compose pull
