    Hello

    I have a problem with my installation. I cannot enter the admin page with mine port 8081.

    i follow this intruction for the installation :
    installation pages

    I have configure the port in my VM for port 8081.
    I use linux debian buster with VM.

    I have been searching the answer from here.

    • iobroker troubleshooting

    • iobroker community (off course with google translate)

    I have also tried this code.

    sudo node node_modules/iobroker.js-controller/controller.js --logs
    

    and the outputs are always (even i changes the port from 9000 and 9001 to others) :

      am i do something wrong?

      sorry to hear that!
      I'm not familiar with VM and especially containers.
      But I do an iobroker installation on debian in a proxmox VM too.
      I didn`t have to do anything with the ports

      Port 8081 ist the port to reach the admin webUI, port 8082 the port of the webinterface for visualizations

      Port 9000 and 9001 are ports for internal use of databases for objects and states an shouldn't been altered or used for other services.

      the installation procedure is made much easier.

      • install debian
      • configure timezone and language
      • call curl -sLf https://iobroker.net/install.sh | bash -
        • on a brandnew system all necessary packages incl. latest recommended node, will be installed
      • open <IP>:8081

      the troubleshooting page is fairly old and possibly outdated, should/can work.

      What is the output for iobroker list instances

        I have added a new admin in 8089 but still not working
        I have doubt with the version of my dependencies.
        Is it because the NPM, nodejs,node, and js-controller?
        my NPM version is 6.14.13
        nodejs is 12.22.1
        node is 12.22.1

          I see!

          But you have entered 8081 as IP
          here should be 0.0.0.0 (listen on all interfaces)

          And there is no other instance running at all.

          I guess it would be the easiest way at this stage to delete the VM, and start from anew, as I described in the last post

          node and npm look good.

          BTW - what debian image did you use - on/for what hardware?

              should be the port and bind in iobroker list instances be like this?

               system.adapter.admin.0                  : admin                 : try1                                     -  enabled, port: 8081, bind: 0.0.0.0, run as: admin
              
              + instance is alive
              

              i follow some code from the forum to changes the instances

              cd /opt/iobroker
              
              iobroker set admin.0 --bind 0.0.0.0
              
              iobroker set admin.0 --port 8081
              

              thank you

                Beware!
                for 64bit Arch you need AMD64 even if you have an Intel CPU; not x386!

                partly yes!
                Now it's correct for the admin, but there should be at least info and discovery too

                  I'm using this VM for server
                  but it's totally new because every time i tried a new language i create a new one then combine it to fix server i want.
                  I have tried php,nodejs,mqtt,python so far and all works (for learning purposes).

                  I'm not quite know about the AMD64 because there is not option for me to choose the type in google cloud. but here is the overall system i get from the google cloud.

                  Architecture:        x86_64
                  CPU op-mode(s):      32-bit, 64-bit
                  Byte Order:          Little Endian
                  Address sizes:       46 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
                  CPU(s):              2

                  Thread(s) per core:  2
                  Core(s) per socket:  1
                  Socket(s):           1
                  NUMA node(s):        1
                  Vendor ID:           GenuineIntel
                  CPU family:          6
                  Model:               85
                  Model name:          Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @ 2.00GHz

                  I have tried run iobroker (with the instances above) but still the same error said that EADDRINUSE
                  even i changed it back to 9001 and 9000

                  Right now i will try to create a new VM

                  thank you for your hospitality

                      i have tried 8011 and 8000 also tried 9000 and 9001.
                      but still the same problem.

                      wow, i just knew that XEON compatibility issues with iobroker.

                      ok will try to changes the XEON (I still not know how but will figure it out).
                      I'll update my trial with a new CPU asap.
                      thank you very much for the knowledge.
                      regards!

                        please don`t change anything!
                        To find out what is going wrong we need the standard settings.

                        If you start up the next try, please wait until the setup by curl... has finished completely with the line

                        open <IP>:8081 and start configuring
                        (or anything like this ;-) )

                        Afterwards you have to re-login into the console
