FPP 7.x on Ubuntu Server 22.04.3 LTS

[GregMM]

This is what worked for me running as VM in ProxMox if anyone is having issues trying to install

create user during install: tempuser
login as tempuser
sudo -i                  #switch to root
passwd                 #create a root password
#reboot / make sure you  can login as root before deleting temp user
deluser tempuser
rm -r /home/tempuser

apt-get install qemu-guest-agent acpid    #optional if running in ProxMox / qemu based VM
# not sure if the below are necessary (helped when trying to get the install script to run on debian so ran them before attempting to install on ubuntu)
apt-get install autopoint
apt-get install flex
apt-get install ccache
apt-get install build-essential

wget -O ./FPP_Install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/master/SD/FPP_Install.sh
chmod 700 ./FPP_Install.sh
./FPP_Install.sh

This is great info!  I used this to spin up an FPP VM in Proxmox and it's a game changer over running on a Pi/BBB.

I've used this on two different PC's and everything installs and comes up as it is running but I can't access the web UI. I know the IP, I'm on the same subnet, I can ping it, I can SSH into it, from the local interface I can log in and ping IP's. just the web interface says connection refused. standard and secure.

what is the service that handles the web UI and how can I check that it is running from the command line.

Apache is the web server and you should see multiple /usr/sbin/apache2 processes in the process list on a working system.

my problem turned out to be not having the sources.list have anything but the install CD. Needed to add entries for the online repositories before running the ./FPP_Install.sh details at the link below.

[darkman28]

I added these to my /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main

This applies to Debian 11 (bullseye)
if you are using Debian 12 (bookworm) than you need

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bookworm-security main non-free-firmware

I've tried the install script on both Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04. Both fail during the fpp compile. I've run the additional apt commands as suggested for both operating systems but the error is still the same:
