A restart occurs when app.js runs

[rad978]

Hello, after entering the node app.js command, Raspberry restarts. This happens every time I try to run app.js Please advise.

Rebooting seems to be intentional:

atem-tally-pi/app.js

Line 136 in 3ab3b4d

exec("sudo reboot", (err, stdout, stderr) => {

However, it should only do that if the hostname is atem-tally or raspberrypi:

atem-tally-pi/app.js

Lines 125 to 136 in 3ab3b4d

	// Generate and set a unique hostname if default hostname is being used
	if (os.hostname() == "atem-tally" || os.hostname() == "raspberrypi") {
	var shortid = getDevId().substring(0, 8);
	exec("sudo hostnamectl set-hostname atem-tally-" + shortid, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
	if (err) {
	console.error(`Error: ${err}`);
	return;
	}
	console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
	console.error(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
	});
	exec("sudo reboot", (err, stdout, stderr) => {

Can you check if the hostname has been changed after the restart?
If not, then you can change the hostname manually, see this line of code where this script sets the hostname:

atem-tally-pi/app.js

Line 128 in 3ab3b4d

exec("sudo hostnamectl set-hostname atem-tally-" + shortid, (err, stdout, stderr) => {

If that command gives an error, then that would be the reason why the raspberry pi keeps rebooting when you run app.js
