Running Emanote in Raspberry

[bolt12]

I would like to host emanote on my personal NixOS RPI but unfortunately I couldn't use either docker or nix installation since there are architecture differences. I wonder how much trouble would be to make the project support such architectures.

Thank you for everyone's time!

@bolt12 Try with 9dc2303

You can also talk to @573 who has done this in the past: srid/neuron#66

Okay e1519a5 should help.

Btw, you can also fork these repos and override the flake inputs to get it to build (then open PRs at the end).

[bolt12]

Yes, I will do that, sorry for making you do it instead, hopefully is just enabling this in the flake files :)

Thank you once again for your help!

I made progress but ultimately I've hit:

copying path '/nix/store/ky2gvkg7zrrifzrnj07c2pp0p9wyzlhy-cabal2nix-2.18.0' from 'https://cache.nixos.org'...
error: a 'aarch64-darwin' with features {} is required to build '/nix/store/7ddsmmw6prqrhlw39qm8618ga3rp8fp9-cabal2nix-emanote.drv', but I am a 'aarch64-linux' with features {benchmark, big-parallel, gccarch-armv8-a, kvm, nixos-test}
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

And I do not really know what I can do to solve this 😛

@bolt12 I recommend asking in https://matrix.to/#/#community:nixos.org ... I have a feeling this can be solved.

[bolt12]

I asked here: https://matrix.to/#/!RjBlCIbsLDzHBIzmaA:nixos.org/$zJPbuC6r5ZYhx4PP_vtKYqapuW2pzEwaxSA8xoqNZ6g?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev

This is what I ended up with:

# List packages installed in system profile. To search, run:
# $ nix search wget
environment.systemPackages = let
   emanote = (import (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {owner = "srid"; repo = "emanote"; rev = "master"; sha256 = "19xy042f7icmk41s206qbfi3fy4pw8sj5l6xgn6afwk2pzkhrx06"; })).defaultPackage.aarch64-linux;
 in
 with pkgs; [
...
emanote
];

This is a rather big package and I haven't run into any errors yet on my installation but hopefully I will have an answer soon :)

[bolt12]

Sorry for the delay on this, but I can say that I was able to make it work on my RPI. The derivation looks something like this:

environment.systemPackages = let
emanote = (import (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {owner = "srid"; repo = "emanote"; rev = "master"; sha256 = "055i83av5lqiya8qlasw0laznz2mqag8arpg1d55bzc2bgz08hin"; })).defaultPackage.aarch64-linux;
in
with pkgs; [
...

emanote
];

My RPI only has 1 GB of RAM so I had to up the swap space to about 8GB and leave it building for like 2 days but it succeeded! Thank you for all the support @srid . Hope this thread helps other people out!

@bolt12 Nice! I wonder if there is a way to provide cache for this (built in CI somewhere).

@bolt12 How do you use Emanote in Raspberry Pi? Curious about your workflow ...

One can try and setup something with https://www.cachix.org/ !

Good question, I am looking just for something were my notes can look pretty and allows me to navigate better or maybe even shape/improve the way I do take notes. I haven't really used emanote yet but looked at it and sounded the sort of thing I wanted :D
