Thanks Fredy and Jan for your answer.
Fresh install means preparing an SD card with an image?…..
Not an option because my station is on a remote side and not planning to go there until Christmas. I’m trying to update via SSH.
Why there isn’t any WARNING during the installation? Why is nothing written about that in the Wiki?
Unfortunately, my Station after 36.000 observations is going to be OFFLINE….

There is a way but needs some support, it was already done on a station from @pe2bz
Let me know if you want to give that a try
Jan | PE0SAT
Yes please…. If not, I’ll put a new SD Card at Christmas
Lets give it a try:
First we need to know a couple of things, what is the best way to describe the stations current situation?
Is the old version still working and what about the “new” setup?
Are we talking about station 342 ?
Well lets go from here.
Jan | PE0SAT
Old version not working, Station 342 is Offline
@ea5wa can you try to run the commands below:
First run and copy here the result of:
lsb_release -d
Then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then run and copy here the result of:
lsb_release -d
And if changed from the previous then run again the command:
curl -sfL https://satno.gs/install | sh -s --
Thanks Fredy.
Is Jan trying to fix it right now
For now I am trying to keep bullseye and go from there but I am running in to challenges because docker-compose on this Pi is behaving different with the docker compose template I created.
We worked around this and the system is now puling the images.
This system is only on a remote location and the download speed is very low so this can take some time, fingers crossed it will not loose its connection.
Jan | PE0SAT
Download speed should be normal. I use this remote site with a Flex Transceiver without any problem
@ea5wa Thanks you for allowing me to connect remotely and I wish I had better news.
After many hours, this is the outcome.

Apart from limited hardware resources, 8Gb sd-card, 2G internal memory and very slow SD-card I have no explanation for the fact the container doesn’t seem to work.
Maybe one of the developers can tell us what this error means.
Upfront, this system doesn’t seem capable of running the SatNOGS-client 2.1, very unresponsive, small SD-card, little memory
I am out of options.

Thank for the information, then I guess you are building your own image and not using the one from SatNOGS.
I also wonder if your system is similar to the one I was using?
as you can see in the Dockerfile, I’m starting from:
FROM librespace/satnogs-client:2.1
and because of the problem with:
ImportError: libopenblas.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I added a modification at startup:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libopenblas0 && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
then I looked in the log for a problem with the matplotlib library, so for me the fix was:
RUN apt-get remove -y python3-matplotlib python-matplotlib-data
and this is my specific fix for the shared directory and permissions:
RUN usermod -u 999 satnogs-client
RPI 3B+, 1GB RAM, Debian 11.11, armhf
UPDATE 2025-11-28 8:40 UTC:
Warning: Users running image with architecture armhf will have issues with upgrading. For now they should keep the old version. We are working on solving this issue.
Users with arm64 image are not affected but may get warnings in their log about matplotlib that can be ignored.
To find out which architecture you use you can run dpkg --print-architecture
Many thanks to all of you and mainly to Jan
With some team effort we where able to create an image that runs on amrhf.
Thank you all
I’m preparing a new micro SD with Raspbian Lite Bookworm for my next visit to the remote site. With some luck, this weekend …. fingers crossed
After a clean installation on a 16GB microSD with raspbian bookworm, following the wiki instructions, my station is online but all the observations are failed.
