Installing libretime on stretch 9.1 is not supported. Any update on this?

I successfully installed Libretime in Debian Stretch, just needed to change a few files and it installed without any issues, although I needed to add a few missing packages.
I will create a new branch with the modifications asap.

I’ll be happy to merge them, I got sidetracked with running vagrant on libvirt when I tried to test the install on Stretch. There really isn’t any reason for running LibreTime on anything older than Stretch except that the installer needs to learn about Stretch and the docs need updating. See #303 for more info on this.

Added Debian Stretch support https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/pull/318

I pulled the new changes but is not working on Raspbian 9.

@kostkrom
This might be a Raspbian specific issue, can you post the output of the installer script to help us figure out what is failing?
From @hairmare on Sun Oct 08 2017 14:35:02 GMT+0000 (UTC)
You need to use the git installer for now, sorry about not mentioning that earlier. I’ll to a tarball release that contains the fixes very soon.
From @hairmare on Sun Oct 08 2017 14:36:32 GMT+0000 (UTC)
Oh also, you might need to hack the installer script to support Rasbian, previous Raspberry Pi users seem to have used Debian on the device.

You seem to be on a minimal install without locale.
localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.utf8"
Also, no need for upstart, the installer configures systemd, you can use something like this:
# check status
systemctl status airtime-playout
# look at logs:
journalctl -u airtime-playout
# follow logs:
journalctl -u airtime-playout -fn
The bug from #334 might also be affecting you if you are on master.

You’re correct about the minimal install without locale… Using a new VPS for development purposes that apparently didn’t set the locale. My prod VPS service allows me to install from iso so I don’t run into this issue.
Using your command wasn’t enough as postgresql coughed on the locale… For some reason dpkg-reconfigure locales didn’t work for me either. The following commands worked for me to get every entry populated with correct locale. Anyone else using this who is not en_US may want to use their own for this command…
#Purge all locales but en_US.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen --purge en_US.UTF-8
#Populate LANGUAGE=
sudo update-locale LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"
reboot to apply…
Worked like a charm, installing libretime was without problem and all services started properly.
