Installation

curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sunfounder/pironman5/v1/install.sh" | sudo bash

To install PiPower5 as a plugin alongside Pironman 5, append --pipower5:

curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sunfounder/pironman5/v1/install.sh" | sudo bash -s -- --pipower5

For users in mainland China (Gitee mirror): append --cn to download the installer and all resources from Gitee instead of GitHub:

>

> curl -sSL "https://gitee.com/sunfounder/pironman5/raw/v1/install.sh" | sudo bash -s -- --cn

> With PiPower5 plugin:

>

> curl -sSL "https://gitee.com/sunfounder/pironman5/raw/v1/install.sh" | sudo bash -s -- --cn --pipower5

If your system does not support piping directly into bash, download the script first and then run it:

>

> curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sunfounder/pironman5/v1/install.sh" -o install.sh

> With PiPower5 plugin:

>

> curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sunfounder/pironman5/v1/install.sh" -o install.sh

For Pro Max: The Pro Max includes a 4.3" touchscreen and can auto-launch the dashboard on boot. We recommend switching the touchscreen mode from the default Mouse Emulation to Multitouch — this enables phone/tablet-like touch gestures and makes the dashboard much easier to use.

> 1. Raspberry Pi Icon >> Preferences >> Control Centre

2. Select Screen tab

3. Long press / right click on DSI-2

4. Select Touchscreen >> Mode >> Multitouch

Update

Troubleshooting

If InfluxDB (history / dashboard data logging) stops working after an update, run the built-in doctor:

sudo pironman5 doctor          # report only
sudo pironman5 doctor --fix    # report and repair

It checks and repairs the problems that are usually left behind by upgrading an old 1.2.x installation:

• duplicate TOML keys in /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf - influxd refuses to start with Key 'http.log-enabled' has already been defined
• /var/lib/influxdb not owned by the influxdb user - influxdb.service dies with permission denied
• influxdb.service / pironman5.service not enabled or not running
• /opt/pironman5 and /var/log/pironman5 ownership

curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sunfounder/pironman5/v1/install.sh" | sudo bash

Upgrading an old 1.2.x installation also leaves its history behind: 1.2.x stored it in the InfluxDB database pironman5, while this version uses one database per product (pironman5-max, pironman5-mini, ...). Copy it over with:

sudo pironman5 migrate-history            # report what can be copied
sudo pironman5 migrate-history --yes      # copy it

It copies only the points inside the configured retention window and older than the oldest point already in the target database (so newer data is never overwritten), never deletes anything, and runs automatically at the end of the installation (--skip-history-migration opts out).
