From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

I have the Raspi pi zero 2w. I install the last image and cumulus does not start.
The following comes out with status:

Check if there are any logs in MXdiags folder, and attach them if you don’t spot anything obvious. I wonder if there was some limitations with dotnet8 and pi zero.

After a bit of googling, the error states that you are trying to run the service with an useraccount that does not exist. Did you remove or rename the default user in the image?

Does the CMX4 image work on the pi zero? I thought it needed beefier hardware.

I was wonderng about that also, but since the question concerns Pi zero 2, I’m not sure if that makes a difference. The error code suggests that it is not hardware related, but hopefully someone can verify this one way or another.
