Installing SBFspot

emonSD

Hi,

New user to emonpi and the ecosystem - loving it so far.

I want to get SBFspot running on my emonPi so I can retire an old v1 Raspberry pi that been running SBFspot for nearly 7 years! I’ve added an external bluetooth USB adaptor and it can see the inverter.

I’m getting some errors during installation of SBFspot that I cannot google around:

tar: Update_340_SQLite.sql: Cannot write: No space left on device
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Unable to untar sbfspot-sqlite-arm-linux-buster.tar.gz

Not entirely convinced it’s out of space:

Any advice on what I can try?

Thanks!

Although it’s not out of space, (you’ve got a bit more than 9GB available on that particular disk drive) the /var/tmp directory is full. (it’s at 100% use) That’s what’s causing the error.
What’s causing the directory to fill up is another issue.

Your table shows only 1 MB of disk space allocated, so whatever is causing the problem
doesn’t have to do too much writing to cause /var/tmp to become full.

I’m not well-versed at emonCMS. Perhaps one of the other users/mods can shed some light
on what the best course of action is.

Thanks Bill,

I missed that when I was looking!

I’ve temporarily increased the size of /var/tmp and have got the install to complete.

Good to hear you got it going.
