Raspberry Pi ODK

Support

Hello,

I am new to ODK and I was looking for some information about deploying the ODK aggregate server on a local raspberry pi device. Has there been any success or past experiences with this? If so could you please explain.

Thanks!

Aggregate runs in a Tomcat container backed by MySQL/PostgreSQL, so
technically it should run on a Pi. You do need to have a fair bit of
RAM, so I don't know how well it'd work.

Depends what your end goals are, but if you need an ODK backend on a
Pi, it'll probably be better to implement the Form Discovery and
Submission APIs documented at
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/OpenRosaAPI with
something lightweight. Maybe some basic Python scripts that take the
XML post and dump it to a file system.

Hi there , I had deployed an ODK aggregate in a Raspberry pi with success,
it is such interesting option due to the low power requirements. I did set
up with some help . Here some interesting links with some information :

Basically what you have to do it is to install a debian Raspbian
distribution in to the SD card and with the help of Putty follow similar
steps as described here

Hi Jorge,

I noticed that you have ubuntu installed rather than Raspbian. Did you use Ubuntu instead?
I'm having a hard time installing ODK Aggregate (ODK_Aggregate_v1.4_linux-installer.run) on Raspbian. Any inputs you can provide me?

Thanks,
Ali

Dear Ali , I did used the ssh from my ubuntu machine in order to manage the
raspi (with raspbian installed) thats why you see in the screen captures
the ubuntu interface if you take a closer look .

So far I had encountered some problems when deploying ODK aggregate , I had
solved this by deleting all the ROOT folder under /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
folder and then deploying the ROOT.war file generated by the ODK aggregate
linux installer via the tomcat manager

The I had to restart the tomcat service "sudo service tomcat6 restart" and
I had also restarted the raspi, after some trials I was able on login in in
to the ODK aggregate hosted in the raspi.

Let me know what are the problems you are encountering

Best

Jorge
