Can't successfully install and start tpeap Omada controller software on Linux host
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I am trying to setup the latest Omada controller using the .deb file provided at the Official TP Link download list (omada_v3.2.1_linux_x64_20190620104911.deb).
I'm Not trying to perform an upgrade, I've never had an instance installed before.
I'm using LXC Containers under Proxmox. I've tried Debian Buster, then triedUbuntu 18.04, both seem to give me the same issue. I am unsure whether I am installing it wrong or whether the issue is that I'm running in an LXC instead of a KVM Virtual Machne.
My install process was as follows;
use apt to install the prerequisites curl, net-tools and jsvc
wget the .deb file from tp-link
dpkg -i <deb file>
This runs a whole lot of stuff culminating in "Starting Omada controller....." which just runs for ages, at least 5 minutes, before failing.
I note from forum browsing that there's also a community release of the software, which as part of the installation process mentions installing Oracle java instead of OpenJDK as well as mongodb. The TP Link instructions didn't mention this, and I'm not sure if I need to install those separately or whether the tp link official .deb package contains everything that is required.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or shall i start uploading some log files...

Oh.

I didn't occur to me that it would need so much disk space. Perhaps the system requires should state the need for 4+ GB of disk space. Maybe they already do and I just missed that.

I'll just these log files here anyway in case they're useful;

@PhilV You just saved me from another 24h of ripping my heair out. Thank you for that little note, increasing my VM from 4GB to 10GB solved this instantly.

@pensive_tom You don't even need that much it seems, my controller has just 4.5 GB assigned and its only actually using 1GB of that now, maybe the initial install just needs more room to unpack. You can always keep an eye on what it's using and reduce it down. RAM usage is pretty low too, I've assigned 512MB but it rarely uses more than 256
