OpenPlotter 4 roadmap

[Hakan]

About the SignalK (npm) update issue reported here: https://forum.openmarine.net/showthread....6#pid29066
I have created a new image, on a 32 GB SD card, using "2023-12-29-OpenPlotter-v4-Starting-beta-64bit-img" created by "Raspberry Pi imager" on a Rpi.
On the new image I changed localization settings like Timezone(ETC+1), keyboard (SE), wifi country(SE) and nothing more.
I also updated the system by "update" and "full-upgrade"
The I ran "Signal k Installer" and got the same result as before. Each update attempt, e.g.: "npm GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/socket.io.parser", is timed out as before.

Any advices what to test next?

I will try to reproduce that.

On the same RPi5 but a Raspberry image I tried to install SignalK
Method used:
1. In RPi inbound program installer I installed nodejs and npm.
2. sudo npm install -g npm@latest >> Works fine. Some files updated.
3. sudo apt install libnss-mdns avahi-utils libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev -y >> All was already installed.
4. sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm signalk-server -y  >> Worked.
5. Then I could setup and start SignalK wo problem

On the Openplotter image:
1. nodejs was installed. npm not, so I selected that and Apply.
2. Didn't worked. The command was "swallowed" but nothing happened. I'd to close the hanged terminal.
3. All deps. was already installed.
4. Didn't worked.

Next step on the RPi5 by image Raspberry_pi for info:
Since SignalK is up and running I tested to install Openplotter
Following the valuable advises on "https://github.com/openplotter/openplotter-settings" I installed "openplotter-settings_4.0.67-beta_all"
The dependents was first installed. I though had to make "fix-broken.." for the keyboard deps. before it worked.
Then openplotter settings was installed and I could from there install Serials and use that to add a USB to SignalK. (Auto Add didn't worked though)
And--- not less: When installing SignalK installer all was performed successfully in a few minutes!
