Troubleshooting

GBM Buffer

Failed to create GBM buffer of size 800x600: Invalid argument

WebKitGTK’s DMABUF renderer can conflict with NVIDIA drivers. You can disable it by setting an environment variable:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 cargo tauri dev

Nvidia explicit sync and Wayland

Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

__NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC=1 cargo tauri dev

Influxdb

Generate an admin token

This will be used for adding a new server to InfluxDB Explorer UI, and other admin tasks later.

• docker exec -it [container] bash
• influxdb3 create token --admin

Motion detection

This is the setup to have a motion detection camera feed on Rpi and a feed on your Grafana dashboard:

• sudo apt update && sudo apt install motion
• Edit  /etc/motion/motion.conf and set stream_localhost off
• Also set stream_quality 75 or less for best performances
• sudo systemctl enable motion
• sudo systemctl start motion
• http://<station_ip>:8081/

For adding the feed in Grafana add a Text panel with Html and add the iframe:

<iframe src="http://<station_ip>:8081/" width="640" height="480"></iframe>

Deploying
