Hi @FireWizard, yes i was who created the issue on gthub.

Better test with ./domoticz or sudo ./domoticz as that gives better logging.
Are you installing Domoticz correctly?
You can try to install bullseye as OS as that uses native libssl1

Hi, @rabbit,

You wrote:

and sudo ./updatebeta, regarding your post:

Do not upgrade to the latest beta with ./updatebeta, as that will overwrite your armv6 version of Domoticz and will install the latest beta, which is armv7. The result is an error message as you have seen.

It Works!
Thanks to @FireWizard & @waltervl.

For other interested forum members, the full solution:
- After installing Raspberrypi OS, here "bookworm".
- installing libssl1.1

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libssl1.1
sudo apt install libusb-dev

Making domoticz directory in home dir, >> going in.
Downloading domoticz binary from github.com/SjoerdNLD/Domoticz-Armv6 Check your version, here: 2025.2 bellow.
Unpack, and register your domoticz, regarding the commands in the github website

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/domoticz
cd ~/domoticz
wget github.com/SjoerdNLD/Domoticz-Armv6/releases/download/2025.2/domoticz_linux_2025.2_armv6.tgz
sudo tar -xzvf domoticz_linux_2025.2_armv6.tgz
sudo cp domoticz.sh /etc/init.d
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh
cd ~/domoticz
./domoticz

Optional deleting the downloaded file: rm ~/domoticz/domoticz_linux_2025.2_armv6.tgz (check your version number).

At the moment starting my domoticz is possible just from "$home/domoticz" directory. It does not work as a startup service. Port443 still dead.
That is a topic for another thread.

Thank you guys for your help and time!!! You saved a pi zero from a trash korb )

hello @rabbit,

It's good that you are able to start Domoticz. Nice!

At the moment starting my domoticz is possible just from "$home/domoticz" directory. It does not work as a startup service. Port443 still dead.
That is a topic for another thread.

You are running Domoticz as a nbormal user now.
The way @waltervl recommended in a previous post. That is okay.

Rasberry Pi OS Bookworm uses systemd, like most modern systems.

Do as follows (from AI):

Linux (Systemd - Preferred Method)

Most pre-built installations (e.g., curl -sSfL https://install.domoticz.com) create a service automatically. If you need to set it up manually:

1. Locate/Create the service file: Typically found at /etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service.
2. Ensure it runs under a specific user: It is recommended not to run as root. The service file should define the User, Group, and WorkingDirectory
(e.g., /home/yourusername/domoticz).
3. Enable the service: Run the following commands to ensure it starts at boot:

Code: Select all

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl enable domoticz.service
    sudo systemctl start domoticz.service

4. Check Status: Verify it is running with

Code: Select all

sudo service domoticz status

.

Hi,
thansk for a tip!

Code: Select all

Locate/Create the service file: Typically found at /etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service.

After a quick sourcing: https://search.brave.com/search?q=%2Fet ... 41cd24329b
Brave AI generated a proposal:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Domoticz home automation
After=network.target

[Service]
# Modify your credentials and path:
User= **YourUsername**
Group=**same as User**
WorkingDirectory=/home/YOURHOMEDIR/domoticz
#your domoticz isntall directory.  Tipically:
ExecStart=/home/YOURHOMEDIR/domoticz/domoticz -www 8080 -sslwww 4443
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

For argument "-sslwww 443" i got an error msg. He want a number > 1024. I changed it to 4443.

I have now a working ssl port, AND starts automatically AND no error msg.
Perfect!!!
Thank you again!!!

For the future, when AI indexes this instruction too...
On the wiki for Linux there is an instruction how to setup a service, there a 2 ways. https://wiki.domoticz.com/Linux#Startin ... stem_boots
