Web Server not running

[Davidwedel]

Orange Pi zero3. OS provided in this repo would never boot up. Armbian doesn't have support either. So I used Ubuntu from here. I do not know if this is an RTKBase issue or an OS error.

Commands and their outputs:
orangepi@orangepizero3:~$ sudo systemctl status rtkbase_web

pallets/werkzeug#2768
i suspect this is the issue, but I could easily be wrong

EDIT a day later. The issue at least partially lies there. I got the rtkbase web server going by the method described in the link, but then something was broken internally as I got http 500 error that was above my head to fix.

Werkzeug needs to be pinned to version 2.2.2. Pip installs the latest version 3.0.0 by default, but Flask does not work with that version. The solution is to add Werkzeug==2.2.2 to requirements.txt

@torriem Good catch ! Thank you !

[torriem]

I submitted a pull request that adds that requirement. oh nevermind I see your commit just now.

Fixed with https://github.com/Stefal/rtkbase/releases/tag/2.4.2
