Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread

Thank you for your answer, I did the updates. Problem now is the miner does not mine anymore. The node is running but the miner starts but does not hash and then shuts down
I am now looking to install electrs, however in your guide you say sometimes to log into bitcoin user. Is it necessary to do this step with the Apollo or can I just do everything with futurebit user

Does the issue persist? Have you tried rebooting after those updates?
You can replace my bitcoin user with futurebit, yes. Technically, in my setup, that user is less privileged so it's a little bit more secure, but it's still fine.

Thanks, I do have to install OpenSUSE on my Apollo though right? Looks like some commands are not working and I think it's because I need this to be installed.

My guides are made to work on OpenSUSE, but the procedures can be replicated on Debian / Armbian; you will have to either install the zypper package manager or find out the package names (e.g. through a simple web search). Then install them with the built-in package manager apt. But the idea and process, the service files and configuration files, that's all the same independently from the Linux distribution you're running.
