Octoprint don't start after new flash 1.11.2

What is the problem?

I flashed my sd card to install Octoprint 1.11.2.
It ran on my rasberry (Model B+ v1.2, I guess raspebby model 1) since months in verison 1.7.x
I wanted to make a full upgrade
On the raspberry, if I log with "pi' , i am having access
The ip adress is responding to a ping
http://octopi.local in my browser is not working
but http://192.68.0.60 (ip adress of octopi.local) is showing The OctoPrint server is currently not running.

What did you already try to solve it?

I tried whats proposed in the web page:

Verify that the process is running: ps -ef | grep -i octoprint | grep -i python should show a python process: => nothing happend

Take a look into ~/.octoprint/logs/octoprint.log : the folder "logs" doesn't exist

I tried this commandpi @octopi:~ $ netstat -lp | grep http
tcp6 0 0 [::]:https [::]:* LISTEN -
tcp6 0 0 [::]:http [::]:* LISTEN -

Have you tried running in safe mode?

No beacuse I don't undestand how to do it :frowning:

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Systeminfo Bundle

I tried "octoprint systeminfo." in the command line of "pi" session, but I get "command not found"

I checked the octoprint service staus: it is not running!:

Additional information about your setup

Octoprint version 1.11.2
OctoPi version 1.1.0

Update. in the mean time, I asked Chatgpt...

The problem here most likely comes from the fact that your Raspberry Pi 1 is old (ARMv6 processor, low RAM), and the current version of OctoPi/OctoPrint 1.11.2 is no longer officially compatible with this architecture.

Here’s what you need to know:

Since OctoPrint 1.9 or so, Python 3.8+ is required.

However, on a Raspberry Pi 1 (ARMv6), recent OctoPi images no longer provide a compatible build, and recent Raspbian versions don’t support a new enough Python without hacks.

Official OctoPi images are now built for ARMv7 and ARMv8 (Pi 2 and above).

In short:
:pushpin: Recent OctoPi will no longer run natively on a Pi 1 → you have to either:

  • Stick with an older version (e.g. OctoPi based on Raspbian Jessie or Stretch, with OctoPrint ≤ 1.7.x).
  • Compile OctoPrint yourself on Raspbian Lite (it can run, but very slowly).
  • Upgrade to a Pi 3, 4, or Zero 2 W to enjoy the latest versions without headaches.

If you absolutely want to keep your Pi 1:

  • Flash an old OctoPi image compatible with Pi 1: for example, OctoPi 0.17.0 (with OctoPrint 1.3.12) or OctoPi 0.18.0 (OctoPrint 1.5.3).
  • Then update OctoPrint manually up to the latest version that still works with Python 3.7 (1.7.x).

If you want, I can give you the direct link to download the latest OctoPi image compatible with Raspberry Pi 1 and the procedure to block updates before they break anything.

Thereofore I downloaded version 1.5.3 and now my Octoprint server is back to live

Technically wouldn't run any slower than flashing the octopi image I don't think. You can go this approach and use octoprint_deploy to install everything needed.
