i tried both, but both failed
r
hey @BeeMoe which OS are you running on the raspberry pi?
b
Should be raspbian
r
maybe try installing docker in it and using our docker image?
b
I would rather not use docker because I don't know how to use docker
r
i see. Im not sure our core would work without docker on this OS
so then you can use our managed service where we host a core for you
b
I think its just the java binary that won't work
Maybe if I use a different one it might work
r
different what though?
b
Java binary
r
i don't understand
b
I tried running the Java binary that's with the core unzipped folder
(Sorry for taking long on that, was trying to find the exact error on mobile)
r
hmm. I see. So it seems that the JRE we bundle in is not built for that OS
b
Anyway thats what I found when I looked up the error
Yep
r
maybe you can replace the JRE we have in the installation folder with one that works on your OS
b
Yea I'll try that later
If this theory is correct then you can easily add support for the OS, too
r
yea true. But tbh, it's super niche and we probably won't be doing it anytime soon anyway
b
Thats fair
what version of java is it supposed to be?
okay so i think it is the java being incompatible with my raspberry pi, side note i think i broke supertokens from messing with it lol
r
> what version of java is it supposed to be? OpenJDK 15.0.1
b
okay
for now, do you think a good "bandaid" for this problem could be to host on my (windows 10) computer?
r
yea. that would work for sure
b
okay nice
im thinking later i fork the core's repository for a better way to modify the installation to work on the pi
i didnt fork, but after i unzipped the zip i replaced the /jre directory with a copy of a java 17 jre directory
and i havent configured and ran the core yet, but this is the furthest i have gotten so far
i will try starting the core in a bit, and i have high hopes it will work
r
sounds good.
b
i am able to run the core
r
awesome!
b
yep!
thank you
r
happy to help 🙂
