Unsupported architecture: i686 — is 32-bit Linux out entirely?
We still have a small fleet of older 32-bit boxes doing one specific job, and I was hoping to run a few API scenarios on them rather than provisioning something new. The…
asked by Vikram RajagopalNO_PUBKEY on apt update even though I installed the SDODS key
Key is installed, source is added, and apt still will not verify the index: I saved the key into /usr/share/keyrings/ and the file is definitely there. What am I missing?
asked by Chandra Pillaiapt update: the repository "does not have a Release file"
Added the SDODS apt source and the key, then: The odd part: the files are there. curl https://sdods.com/apt/dists/stable/InRelease returns a signed index perfectly happily. So…
asked by Lars VinterCan I just install the .deb without adding the apt repository?
One laptop, one install, and I would rather not add a third-party apt source to a machine that our security policy says should have as few as possible. Is the standalone package…
asked by Anouk de Vries"The checkout is missing packages/cli — the clone looks incomplete"
Installing with --source git because I want to work on SDODS itself. The clone appears to succeed and then: Exit code 7. ~/.sdods/app exists and has a .git directory in it, so…

asked by Yusuf Demir"/usr/local/bin is not writable" — can I put the command somewhere else?
Shared dev host, no sudo, never will have sudo. Our team wiki says to pass --bin-dir /usr/local/bin so everyone has the command in the same place, and the install gets all the…
asked by Ade OyinlolaRefusing to install as root — our build agent only has a root account
Trying to bake SDODS into our build image. The agent runs everything as root, and the installer stops: I understand why it does this on a laptop. On a throwaway agent there is no…
asked by Sunita Kale@visual is green locally and reported flaky on CI — attempt 1 fails, attempt 2 passes
Same commit, same command, two machines. On my laptop: Green, every time. On the CI job (Ubuntu runner, project has retries: { ci: 2 }) the scenario is reported flaky. Attempt 1:…
asked by Sam OrbisonInstaller says "This is Windows" when I run it in Git Bash — what should I use instead?
I copied the macOS/Linux one-liner into Git Bash because that is where I live on this machine. It refuses immediately: I do have WSL. Which one is actually the right answer if I…
