problem update tor from repo armhf ??? about torbox

[radio24]

Hello sajjads24
Did you have any problem installing / re-installing / updating tor on TorBox 0.4.0 using one of our installer scripts or using the update and reset sub-menu entry 4? I this was the case, please give us more details about the used hardware, the operating system, when the error appeared and, if possible, what the error looked like.

Because we don't fetch the binaries but the source code and compile the binaries on the TorBox itself, we shouldn't have any problems. At least, we installed tor probably a dozen time during the last week and never had any issues.

i am install torbox on raspberry pi 3
so show this error on update :

can i use aarch64 repo :

Try this:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

add this:
deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster main
deb-src [arch=amd64] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster main

And do that prior installing TOR. And then install it.

per: https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/

[radio24]

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

This will only update the base system, not Tor. Of course there will be error messages displayed because TorBox is also running under Debian and Ubuntu, so we added the binary and the source repository. For example under Debian 10/11, arch is arm64 and there, we fetch the binaries.

As I said, on Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu we compile Tor from the sources. Try update and reset sub-menu entry 4 or read the code in our script: https://github.com/radio24/TorBox/blob/master/update

There is a serious risk, if you start to manually screw around that the system will break. Currently, the last version of the tor 0.4.5.x branche is installed.

[radio24]

Ok, I discussed your point with others. We will remove "deb https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster main" in Systems, which compile tor from the sources. With it, the error messages will disappear.

Anyway, we are planing to change the way how Tor is installed in the system beginning with the next release. The idea is, to fetch the source file from GitHub and that the user can chose, which branch he want's to have installed.

i am install Raspberry Pi OS Lite from :
https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-32-bit
so use this script for install torbox :
cd wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radio24/TorBox/master/install/run_install.sh chmod a+x run_install.sh ./run_install.sh

but show error and can not add tor repo !?

please fix tor repo in script .

thanks

[radio24]

I will check that again and give you an answer.
Please, after finishing the installation and restarting the Raspberry Pi, check with "tor -v" if something is installed or not. Should that be the case, please tell me the installed version. Thanks

[radio24]

I did exactly the same:

cd
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radio24/TorBox/master/install/run_install.sh
chmod a+x run_install.sh  
./run_install.sh 

It compiles tor without any problem and installs on this way version 0.4.5.7.
