Clean (automatic scripted) install of Bullseye 64bit on Raspberry Pi4, unable to set up websites
sudo sympl-web-configure
sudo: sympl-web-configure: command not found
I’ve set the hostname successfully, but that made no difference.
That sounds like it’s not installed at all - can you run dpkg -l 'sympl-* and post the results?
dpkg -l ‘sympl-*’

This was after trying again, this time with the non-automatic install. I wasn’t asked any questions at all. However, I haven’t changed the hostname this time round. Not sure if that would make a difference.
So I thought I’d try installing Sympl on Buster instead. That failed in a dfferent way:

Any estimate of an ETA to fix one or both of these issues? I need to get this working by tomorrow.
I could just do a manual LAMP install if necessary, but Sympl would be nice.
So I think there’s a couple of different issues here.
For the first one (the sympl-web package not installing), it looks like that’s an issue with the packages for Bullseye (or specifically the arm binary packages) and I’ll have a proper look at that ASAP.
For the second one, Sympl has set up backports so it can pull in phpMyAdmin (as not in standard Buster), but that’s not happy with the Debian keys, as you’re actually running Rasbian.
In theory, running apt-get install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring; apt-key update should pull down the Debian keys for you, at which point you should be able to install sympl-core and sympl-mysql packages okay.
In both cases, if you can confirm which of the RPi images you’re using, and on which hardware (Pi3 , Pi4, Pi Zero, etc) I should be able to find some hardware here and try it out then get it all fixed.
This is on a Pi4 I’ve tried both 64bit and 32bit Bullseye, though with just 4GB of ram, I can’t see much point in installing a 64bit OS. All using the lite version with no gui.
I’m trying the Buster again. That’ll take half an hour or so.
That took a while: seems that one of my microsd cards has died, giving me a seven flashes error instead of booting. The second card was fine, though.

Is there an easy way to get it to skip installing phpmyadmin, so not need the backports? I don’t need it anyway.
Oddly enough, Buster seems significantly slower than Bullseye to do the same setup. But it’ll do.
If you do a manual install (docs on the wiki), you should then be able to install sympl-core, sympl-web, sympl-mail, sympl-mysql and so on individually.
No joy.

dpkg: error processing package sympl-core (–configure):
It added the enable_backports.list at that point. It wasn’t present when I started.
[later]
I just realised that it isn’t good enough to use apt-get install [package] because --install-recommends is the default.
I seem to be getting better results with
apt-get install --no-install-recommends [package]
[later still] Nope, just the same. Can’t get sympl-core to not add backports and not try to install phpmyadmin
Are we any nearer a resolution to either of these problems? At present there is no Sympl available for Pi.
Although I’m the only person with a time pressure, there must be others who want to use Sympl on a Pi
I haven’t had time to look at it yet, but it’s likely a small fix with the install script for sympl-core.
It seems like it’s just failing when attempting to add the Debian backports repo as your Pi doesn’t have it at the moment, so adding the Debian backports key before starting the install may work.
The issue with backports may be just a matter of adding a key, but I have been unable to do it. That’s for Sympl 10 on Buster.
There doesn’t seem to be any sympl-web package for Sympl 11. I’m guessing that it’s an issue with your package system, assuming there is an arm sympl-web package. I’m pretty sure there is, because I think I have installed sympl11 successfully on a Pi4 in the past
OK, if you can’t fix it, is there any way I can get the package from a different Pi I have running Sympl?
I find this on a different Pi4:

Or perhaps I should copy that SD card and use it as the base to create a new setup.
Given that there seems to be no progress on making an arm sympl-web package available, can anyone explain how I might export the required files from a different device?
It is installed and running successfully, bit I need it on a different device.
I had thought to copy the whole microSD and start from there, but it is a 128G one and I’m planning to use a 32GB one for the new machine. Shrinking the disc seems a bit scary.
This is getting very frustrating. It seems that there is still no working version of Sympl available for Raspberry Pi. I know the package used to be available, so it is probably just a matter of a config problem on the package server at Mythic Beasts.
I had hoped to be able to copy a working pi4 I have running, but that has complications. I don’t know of a way to copy installed packages from one machine to another, so I am pretty much stuck.
It would be very good to get this resolved, pretty please!
It’s near the top of my to-do list, and I’ve managed to salvage a Pi to test this on physical rather than hosted hardware, so with a bit of luck I can investigate this soon.
Note that the ‘other’ Pi4 you provided the dpkg output from is rather broken, as a lot of the packages are marked to be removed at the moment, so copying that SD card probably won’t get you that far.
Yes, that’s the problem. If I could copy packages from one to another, I could cobble something together, but I don’t know how. The other pi is working just fine as it is, but it’s not a full Sympl setup.
It might also be a good idea to test from a machine with no ip6 network support. I suspect there is a problem with accessing your gitlab server using ip4 on a freshly imaged pi4
