DietPi + Allo Web GUI: Now available

I’m pretty sure @wizardofoz is right. Tried to update yesterday and had to do it via SSH.

I suspect things have changed since the USBbridge was originally launched. At one time it was claimed that updates could be done via the web GUI:

Web Interface Features:

  • System Settings:
    • Change hostname
    • Networking configuration (DHCP/STATIC IP)
    • Soundcard configuration
    • Update DietPi (updates for system and web interface)
    • CPU governor selection
    • Swapfile size configuration
    • Power control

I think it always showed when an update was available but I’ve never seen a way in the GUI to do the update.

I’m pretty sure that the red update message in the Web GUI was a clickable button a year or two back…

It’s still clickable, but it only takes you to the how to update DietPi website. Anyway, the Allo GUI is not working as it should now, and hopefully Allo/DietPi will release a fix.

+1, please Allo (and or DietPi) !

same here…

“Login failed”

Maybe I should switch to Ropiee anyway?

I was previously on Ropieee and everything just worked without a problem, included 24/192 over WiFi. Then I read about DietPi supporting the Roon Extension Manager, hence my DietPi adventure. I never managed to install the Extension Manager, it always failed, nor did I get drop out free high resolution streaming with DietPi. I’m now back on Ropieee, hoping the Extension Manager will be supported in the future.

Installed Ropieee. So far so good!

Continuing the discussion from DietPi + Allo Web GUI: Now available:

Where can one download a complete Sparky version as last updated for the original sparky based USBridge? @Stef_Dahl @ALLO_audio_boards @allo.com

You try here ?
https://dietpi.com/#noAction

Is this the same as the original build that shipped with the units as anything I have loaded up from DietPi site has broken the Netstat function.

ALLO Web GUI “login failed” issue (6.26.3) probably fixed in upcoming DietPi 6.27: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3264

To solve now:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/allo
chmod -R 770 /var/www/allo
chpasswd <<< 'allo:allo'

Thank you very much! Will try it out.

Hmmm I’m having this issue too, thanks for that

That fixes the login issue but the NETDATA panels are still broken after refreshing the posted ALLO image and letting it update to 6.23.3 @Dan_Knight @allo.com

@wizardofoz, I’ve got same issue and manage to fix it with:

  • disabling bind command (or edit IP) in /etc/netdata/netdata.conf
  • restarting netdata service from ALLO web GUI

nano /etc/netdata/netdata.conf


[global]
run as user = netdata
web files owner = root
web files group = root
# Netdata is not designed to be exposed to potentially hostile
# networks. See https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/164
# bind socket to IP = 127.0.0.1

@volpone Thanks I’ll give that a go.

OK I have an issue as there is no /etc/netdata/netdata.conf or even an /etc/netdata folder there to see…not even listed in the top as a process either…like it never installed but its * in the installed software in config-software lists on 2 different systems (sparky) @Dan_Knight

If you don’t fix the problem by uninstalling / reinstalling netdata the best thing is to report detailed issue and context to: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues.
