Failed to generate LoRa Sever image for Raspberry Pi 3

Setup and configuration
1

Hi, there.

I had tried to generate a Raspbian based LoRa Server image for the Raspberry Pi on my Raspberry Pi 3 model B.
But I could not generate it because system error occurred.

In advance, I write down what I did in order.

  1. Install docker

  2. Install dependencies image generator:

 sudo apt installquilt parted realpath qemu-user-static debootstrap zerofree pxz zip dosfstools bsdtar libcap2 bin grep rsync
  1. git clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/brocaar/loraserver-pi-gen

  1. modify two files for my region

    • stage3/02-packet-forwarder/files/global_conf.json
    • stage3/04-loraserver/files/loraserver.toml

  2. try to genarate image

sudo ./build-docker.sh

But I had done 5(sudo ./build-docker.sh), then It desplayed Error message as follows:

Sending build context to Docker daemon  839.7kB

I think this error occurred by rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* because rm command is file operation.
However there is indeed /var/lib/apt/list/*.

Please teach me to solve this problem.
And sorry for my poor English.
Thanks.

I’m not sure what the issue is, but I’m happy to share that the past weeks I’ve been working on a better image generator for Raspberry Pi targets :slight_smile: I expect to announce / open-source this within the next week(s) or even days if all goes well!
