#

Oh? 🙂

bitter skiff
#

...maybe

languid roost
#

Any hints you can provide will be very very welcome.

#

When it's finished, I plan to release it to teh deeper community

bitter skiff
#

That may be the most resilient, since you won't want to touch the base HA image, and you can control the additional packages that are put on to the addon w/ config

languid roost
#

RE SSH - I'm just 1 issue away from finding my next issue 🙂

languid roost
#

I assume the SSH addon runs from its own container, and avoids the base install?

bitter skiff
#

All addons are their own container

languid roost
#

awesome.
I just wish I knew what was missing from the official ssh addon in comparison to the community one

bitter skiff
#

Why not just use the community one

#

It has more features anyway

languid roost
#

I did... when I wrote the bash script.

It just doesn't want to work when I call the script from YAML

#

error 127

#

not found

#

(or library not available)

bitter skiff
#

How are you calling it from YAML.... I think you might still be confused.

If you're throwing the script into a /config/ subdir and using the command_line, it's going to be executing using the main HA container

#

That is yet a different container than either the Official HA SSH addon or the Community SSH addon

languid roost
#

Very likely.

I had deleted the yaml since it didn't work..

Let me re-write it

#

Ahhh

#

so SSH is going to be the way?

#

with keys

bitter skiff
#

That's the easiest way I can think of at the moment to do what you want to do. Unless you've got another host that you'd want to offload things to (which is effectively what you'd be using the addon for otherwise)

languid roost
#

Yeah I was thinking that.

Spinning up another linux machine to do the heavy lifting, and then publishing the results.

messy

#

that was how I called it

bitter skiff
#

Yeah, that's just the main HA container

languid roost
#

Shame, as my other bash commands seem to work for other things I have created

bitter skiff
#

Think it's just openssl that's missing

languid roost
#

hmmm

#

that would be for the key decoding I think

#

deeper devices use a public key with some extra sauce

bitter skiff
#

Looks like it's being used to encrypt the password

languid roost
#

yes that's right

bitter skiff
#

Does that password change?

languid roost
#

the browser does it before sending

#

Yes 😦

bitter skiff
#

Gotcha

languid roost
#

It's Base64

bitter skiff
#

Looks like it's the first arg to the script

#

That's not static?

#

It changes?

languid roost
#

The code on teh device is

export const encryptWithPublicKey = function (string) {
  if (string) {
    const encrypted = crypto.publicEncrypt(publicKey, Buffer.from(string));
    return encrypted.toString('base64');
  }
};```
#

it's the buffer that is added to the key

bitter skiff
#

That just looks like it's creating a buffer from the argument

#

(which is likely the password)

languid roost
#

yeah.

I handled it in my bash script (with some help)

bitter skiff
#

Right, all I was thinking... and it's not great, but if you wanted to avoid the SSH stuff. If you had passed in the encrypted password instead, you could remove the openssl call

languid roost
#

yeah, not possible unfortunately 😦

#

it changes every time

bitter skiff
#

Gotcha, well then, SSH time

languid roost
#

well in that case...

Could you advise me of something..

Currently I am running this :

ssh root@homeassistant.local -p 22

wants password.

Tried the -i flag

ssh root@homeassistant.local -p 22 -i /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key

Still asks for password

bitter skiff
#

Is it added to the authorized_keys?

languid roost
#

yes

#

it's in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Or at least the key I made in putty is

#

I am a little confused about what key it needs

bitter skiff
#

Take a look at that

oblique leaf
#

It needs the key you generated. The host SSH key is used for when a client is SSHing in to that server

languid roost
#

Yeah the key I generated is in authorized_keys

#

I think I need to ssh from HA to teh host

oblique leaf
#

That's the public key, but the client that's running the SSH command needs the private key specified on the command line

#

e.g. -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa

languid roost
#

ok, let me try that 🙂

#

thanks

#

permission denied

#

hmmm

#

(publickey, keyboard-interactive)

#

ahh tried to cat it.. not found

oblique leaf
#

Well that was an example, you need to put the appropriate path to wherever you stored it

languid roost
#

so the key I need to pass in the command is the key I made?

#

private?

bitter skiff
#

Where are you SSHing from anyway

languid roost
#

from HA to HA

#

(host)

#

core-ssh

#

to ~

bitter skiff
#

That's an addon

#

You don't want to SSH from the addon back to the addon

#

That won't help you

languid roost
#

Yeah I want to SSH to somewhere that can run my script

#

Which seems to run in the community terminal without issue

bitter skiff
#

Right... and the addon is fine for that, but keep in mind that the thing that will be initiating the SSH is the HA Core container

languid roost
#

ok

bitter skiff
#

If you've got the community add-on and protection mode is disabled you can follow the guide above to test things out

languid roost
#

ok I will give it a go

bitter skiff
#

It shows you how to get a terminal inside the Core container

languid roost
#

thanks for the tip bud 🙂

bitter skiff
#

You bet

languid roost
#

I've worked on this for over a week now. The end is SOOO near

#

I have the community addon running on 222 and the official addon running on 22

#

Needed to look at them side by side to figure out WHERE I was

#

Ahhhhh I need to store the keys with config.

DOH!

I should have guessed that!

#

hmmm I think I need to CHMOD the key...
It's "too open"

bitter skiff
#

0600 for most of those sensitive files

languid roost
#

Nice, thanks

#

One more question...

Since I already have a pub / private key pair, can I generate the ID file without having to mint new keys?

bitter skiff
#

If you want to use your existing pair, that's fine, you don't have to follow that section. Just make sure you store the keys in a spot the core container can access them

#

(like /config)

languid roost
#

I have done that. Still asks for password.

I issued ssh root@homeassistant.local -p 222 -i /config/keys/private.ppk

error in libcrypto

I think it doesn't like PPK

bitter skiff
#

Just generate a new one? Otherwise, you'll need to convert to pem I think

languid roost
#

ah fair play. I made them in putty

#

puttygen

oblique leaf
#

ssh-keygen

languid roost
#

cool. Was trying to avoid that, but that's fine.

#

Amazing.

PuttyGen let's me convert to pem, and now it works

#

thank you both for your help, very much appreciated 🙂

I am trying to use Nut Addon. Any idea what this means? Failed to save add-on configuration, Missing option 'devices' in root in Network UPS Tools (a0d7b954_nut). Got {'mode': 'netserver', 'shutdown_host': False, 'users': [{'actions': [], 'instcmds': ['all'], 'password': 'didyoureallythinkIwouldleavethis', 'username': 'comeonnow'}]}

#

I think it started when the power dropped during system hung while trying to either install or remove Nut and now all future installs have this bug that prevents saving configurations.

bitter skiff
#

The devices list isn't there

analog bridge
#

I still have my original problem. It auto fails when I try to login to the Nut Server

clear lark
#

Is there a way to make sure that an add-on starts before HA actually starts in HAOS? I recently had a power outage and on restart, Home Assistant started before the mariadb add-on (serving as my recording). That led to wall of integration setup errors that ultimately were able to be solved simply but I had to scratch my head on.

#

^I'm sure the above has been asked before but I wasn't able to find an answer on that one. In a Docker-Compose, I would have just made HASS depend_on the maria container to ensure it would wait to startup

analog bridge
#

Any idea what is wrong with this configuartion? ```devices:

  • name: CyberPowerSX950U
    driver: usbhid-ups
    port: >-
    /devices/platform/scb/fd500000.pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0/0000:01:00.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.4
    config:

    • desc = CyberPower-SX950U
      mode: netserver

  • actions: []
    instcmds:

languid roost
#

@bitter skiff IT WORKS!!!!!

final command, for reference

#

When I publish on github, I want to credit you.

Is there an identity you wish to be credited as?

bitter skiff
#

🤷‍♂️ If you really want to, just NSX from HA Discord is fine, but definitely not necessary at all

languid roost

Gonna add it to the comments of the script

#

The logs show nothing wrong either.

#

The problem is everything appears to be working but when I go to integrations and type everything in, it fails instantly.

bitter skiff
#

Well... what are you providing as details in the integration

#

any logs in HA for that?

analog bridge
#

Integration says Failed to Connect Is there some other location of logs?

bitter skiff
#

/config/home-assistant.log

analog bridge
#

found the log.

bitter skiff
#

what's the host you're using

#

in the integration

analog bridge
#

What do you mean by what is the host?

bitter skiff
#

That top box

analog bridge
#

localhost

bitter skiff
#

Use a0d7b954-nut

analog bridge
#

That worked. Where did you get that number from?

bitter skiff
#

It's the addon's hostname

analog bridge
#

Oh, so addons need a special name for localhost. You can't type local host. Is that a known bug or a "feature"?

bitter skiff
#

It's neither

#

The HA Core container is what's initiating a connection when you're adding an integration

#

The Core container isn't hosting the NUT server, so going to that port within the Core container won't work

analog bridge
#

Oh

#

I think it would be useful to change the interface people see so localhost would work. Either that or change the default value of adding a Nut Integration to its real localhost value.

lament otter
#

That's not how docker works

#

(This is the docs page that shows up for the add-on in HA)

analog bridge
#

Thankyou for that information. I still think that updating the default value in host would be a good thing to do all the same but your right. I should have seen that.

lament otter
#

Well the integration works with any NUT server, assuming people are using the add-on would be incorrect in many cases—and impossible if you were using a container install

analog bridge
#

With external servers, it is quite obvious to put the external server their and how to format it. People are use to doing that with external servers. Many people are use to using localhost to mean localhost and not some special value.

#

It would alleviate being blinded because of assumptions that standards are normal and followed standards.

woeful salmon
#

can I get the duck dns app if I'm using HA on a pi using containers?

oblique leaf
#

Container doesn't have add-ons, but add-ons are just Docker containers, so you can just add another container to your system

woeful salmon
#

Okay, is it at all correlated to the "internet" entry in the settings>home assistant URL? Can I expect to enter my duckdns URL and expect it to magically link?

oblique leaf
#

I haven't used DuckDNS but I believe all it's doing is dynamic DNS and SSL certs, so it wouldn't just magically work. You'd have to also open the port on your router and do whatever other configuration is necessary. If you're looking for a simpler solution there's always the Nabu Casa Cloud subscription

Hi, i'm new here and trying to install the #Eufy integration. However i'm stuck with the add-on version 1.3.0 as i see there are already newer versions available, how can i update to the newest version (that hopefully enables 2FA). I have almost no knowledge of coding so this makes it even harder... Thanks!

bitter skiff
#

The integration is a separate piece in HACS

lusty elm
#

Are more people having trouble running NodeRed as addon? Since a month or so. It will not working anymore. There are issues mentioned at github. The server will not connect to the supervisor anymore and so NodeRed is useless. Do somebody knows a work around?

#

I did remove the addon and directory to start from scratch.

#

but no result

#

My work around is running NR as docker. But from then my automations are much slower

bitter skiff
#

You could downgrade temporarily?

lusty elm
#

I did. without succes

bitter skiff
#

To which version

lusty elm
#

several . The earliest I had was snapshot was 2022.12.3 or so. I'm not sure anymore because i tried that already about 4 weeks ago

#

My feeling is that it has to do with the latest supervisor update

bitter skiff
#

Well, it's definitely not universal, I've got no problems w/ mine. Without further information or debug logs, it'll be pretty hard to diagnose what's actually causing your issue.

lusty elm
#

I'm running HA supervised as a VM under Unraid

oblique leaf
#

Don't run Supervised 😦

bitter skiff
#

Start by adding log_level: debug to your NR addon

#

But yeah, supervised comes w/ a whole host of issues if you aren't diligent in adhering to standards and updates

lusty elm
#

there are nog logs except in NR

bitter skiff
#

If you're already running HA in a VM though, not sure why you wouldn't move to HA OS

lament otter
#

Just install HAOS and restore a backup. It will likely solve a bunch of weirdness.

bitter skiff
#

any image sharing site

lusty elm
#

oke

#

but is syas every second several times: connecting to http://supervisor/core followed by connected and disconnecting

bitter skiff
#

Did you bump your log level to debug as I mentioned?

lusty elm
#

no at the moment i removed NR addon and the NR directory. For doing that I do need to install again

Supervisor: Logs

Open your Home Assistant instance and show your Supervisor system logs

bitter skiff
#

Also check out the supervisor logs (dropdown in the upper right)

#

Both may give some insight into what's up

lusty elm
#

supervisor log did not give any errors at that time

#

how do I change nodered log to debug?

#

then I will try tonight to start up again

bitter skiff
#

Go to the config tab of the add-on, hit show unused optional configuration options, select debug in log_level

lusty elm
#

thanks for the help sofar

#

Your best bet is to just switch to HAOS and restore a backup as Rosemary suggested

lusty elm
#

Dan I do miss my supervisor?

#

and it did work perfect before

#

I also do use zwave-js as addon

oblique leaf
#

HAOS has add-ons if that's what you mean

lusty elm
#

owh?

#

I didn''t know that

lament otter
#

HAOS is Supervised without the migraines.

lusty elm
#

I can not find that

#

I only see a VM posibility

@analog bridge How would I make the recorder delay start? I don't think I've ever seen that option in the integrations setup?

#

So the Database is setup to start on boot but I believe HomeAssistant tries to connect and read the recorder before booting is complete

#

Does the AirCast addon use airplay v1 or v2?

#

I don't know if it's an IOS limitation, but I have two Google Homes Minis that are setup using AirCast, and a homepod and soundbar that use legitimate airplay.

#

If I select one of the Google Home Minis, I'm unable to play to a second device simultaneously.

any reason mosquitto broker would have stopped allowing my other devices to log in?

i tried creating a new HA user to see if that would allow the tasmota device to log in. no luck.

bitter skiff

It has worked before though? You haven't made changes to either configuration?

half umbra

correct. it has been working for years.

#

tasmota devices are showing "became unavailable" and then "became unknown" in the logbook. it looks like they worked earlier today based on the logbook though.

Didn't happen to have your broker change IP address or anything, did you?

hey, this might be a weird question but is there a way to install an add-on on my computer and then copy it to HA instead of downloading it from HA directly? because my HA is blocked from accessing the internet thanks to my country

# 
``` thats the error i get when trying to add a repository
oblique leaf
#

You might be out of luck without some sort of VPN that you can funnel all of your HA traffic through

brittle night
#

Yea tailscale etc with an exit node outside your country is probably the easy answer

plucky cedar
plucky cedar
brittle night
# plucky cedar Can I do that on the same pi running HA?

Imagine you’re in jail and you want to meet up with your gf. Each time you want to meet with her, you need to get out of jail right? So you dig a tunnel and you go through that tunnel to see her. In this story, the tunnel is the vpn, the gf is the home assistant urls you can’t access, and you’re the guy in jail with a pi

#

The exit node can’t be on the pi.. cuz then where are you tunneling to?

#

Make sense?

plucky cedar
#

yeah that makes sense

brittle night
#

You’d have to setup a VPS or something and run tailscale as an exit node there

#

But then you’d have to pay for bandwidth with the vps or deal with limits

#

It’s all trivial to setup with tailscale tho

#

Or

plucky cedar
#

cant i run tailscale on my mac then get ha running and download openvpn to it and use that or it wont work?

brittle night
#

Maybe cloudflare Argo tunnel but I think you will get banned for breaking ToS

#

If it’s downloading a bunch of stuff

#

Plus they might have an agreement with your country not to forward traffic to banned sites idk

#

Sucks bro

brittle night
#

Like tunnel through a tunnel?

#

We’re gettin real weird with it

plucky cedar
brittle night
#

Tunnel to where?

#

You’re still in jail remember

#

Your MacBook is in jail cuz you managed to conceal it in your body on the intake to jail

#

Not to mention you’re putting yourself at risk with your country’s laws by going around what they’ve banned

#

So whatever you do, that should be on your mind too

plucky cedar
#

yeah i just remembered i still can't access ha urls from the mac either so i would need a vpn over tailscale to use that as the tunnel

brittle night
#

I blame YouTube sellouts with their nordvpn etc thing confusing you about VPNs

plucky cedar
#

yeah i had to learn the truth the hard way

#

so i guess there is noway out of this jail for me

brittle night
#

Solutions exist like I said above but it’s diy and has inherent risk

plucky cedar
#

alright i will take a look at the vps and cloudflare's tunnel

hi, need some help with HASS Addon Calendar -

Path to the .json file:

Logs:
http://pastie.org/p/5CTKWsUMvbqAYzE5PjyFjL

Download service account credentials and store in HA share folder: The guide also describes how to obtain the json file with your service account credentials. You need to place that file in the /share folder of your Home Assistant installation. This add-on expects that to be the location. You can get easy access to this folder with the samba add-on. The filename is to be provided as a configuration parameter.

I placed it in the right folder, so I don't know why it can't find it.

Whenever I change my HAOS PC network connection from WiFi to Ethernet, I lose access (can't see it) to the it from Samba, from my Windows Laptop. Its IP changes, obviously, but that's it. I restarted the addon too and HAOS too but nothing.

This is the Samba config: http://pastie.org/p/1HQN3m8D9Oti5kpKn1bZbs

Any idea?

Edit replying to myself FIY: must be some Windows crap. It just can't discover the HAOS PC, but if I manually type //homeassistant on Windows Explorer it finds it just fine. I just saved it as favorite. No clue why it does that though, stupid Windows.

Is there a way to get the nginx_proxy to restart (or reload certificates) when the certificates change?

#

My HA just lost external access since the certificates it used had expired (even though the files had new certificates in them)

The key was generated via command prompt.

Ok. No idea what's causing that

That looks super broken

#

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the addon

spare tusk
#

I would agree with that. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to the same result

viscid orchid

Then try to start it. It will fail without credentials, but you're not getting that far

Ok. I'm using a container install and can't check

I just reinstalled it and did no configuration after the reinstall and got as far as I can tell the exact same errors in the log

Alright I will try that.

Download service account credentials and store in HA share folder: The guide also describes how to obtain the json file with your service account credentials. You need to place that file in the /share folder of your Home Assistant installation. This add-on expects that to be the location. You can get easy access to this folder with the samba add-on. The filename is to be provided as a configuration parameter.

I placed it in the right folder, so I don't know why it can't find it.

How do I prevent the 'Silicon Labs Multiprotocol' add-on from starting on boot? The option is disabled, yet it sometimes starts on its own.

#

Asking because I currently do not use the onboard ZigBee adapter, last night my HA Yellow processor use went from 6 to 34% (not sure what happened but it was the add-on) and hate the otbr integration error in the log.

I just uninstalled it but seems not really a correct solution.

does the new Reolink add-on, not offer binary sensors? Connected to my camera directly and I don't get the entities...

So, that would mean you are in the wrong channel 😉
Nevertheless, to answer your question: No it doesn't support binary sensors yet. That part is in development and will probably land in 2022.3

So, should I use this addon: https://github.com/fwestenberg/reolink_dev ?

👆 That isn't an add-on, that is a custom integration.

Hi, I just installed the File Editor addon in homeassistant. When trying to use it, it want's to make requests to cloudflare. I guess it tries to load external libs. Is there a way to host these libs locally? Not providing information to third parties is an important aspect for me to run home assistant.

#

Use another method of accessing your files then: SFTP, Samba, not sure if VSCode Server has external deps

#

Apart from making your own add-on w/o external deps, hass-configurator includes external libraries without any ability to customize that

Hey @lime girder and @raven tinsel
I have a need to run Grafana Agent in HASS, currently I run @lime girder's promtail addon and a separate Prometheus node exporter but the exporter needs to be scraped over the internet, which is not very convenient (my friend's RPI is not part of my internal multisite network setup). Grafana Agent can remote write logs and metrics to my environment and run additional built-in components which would be useful (e.g. snmp exporter).
I'm thinking of giving it a shot to clone addon-promtail and pretty much convert it into addon-grafanaagent where possible with as little changes as needed, but I'm not experienced with building HASS addons so may need help.
The existing promtail config (sort of) embeds into the Grafana Agent config.
What do you guys think?

raven tinsel
#

I think you should not mention/tag people at random

#

it kinda comes across demanding

cold haven
#

I did not mean that; however, @lime girder is the maintainer of the promtail addon and I thought it would be a good idea to get your input as well as you've built the overall Grafana addon. It is normal for people to tag each other for attention where I work, so it's just a habit. If people didn't tag my name, I'd never respond to them 😂

raven tinsel
#

Now you do it again

#

please don't pull people into conversations

#

it is impolite and demanding

#

I just told you that, and you just do it again

#

There are over 100K people in this server, let's not tag maintainers, mods and people to demand attention

#

If all 100K people do that, it will become a mess.

#

I have no input for you

lime girder
# cold haven I did not mean that; however, <@378913215624511489> is the maintainer of the pro...

I haven't used grafana agent so not really sure what's involved. If cloning the promtail addon makes it easier though go for it.

For add-on dev, all the doc on it is here: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/add-ons. Typically addons use s6 (https://github.com/just-containers/s6-overlay) as their init system in the container which is what is going on in my addon. That's not required though if your already comfortable dockerizing a service in a different way

Hi. Can somone help me with Nginx Proxy Manager add-on? I followed all steps and it works only with SSL (ouside and inside network). I need to use SSL from outside and non-SSL from home network.

viscid orchid
#

installing and configuring that addon will have no impact on direct access to HA

#

if you want non-SSL access at home, you don't go through NGINX

prime beacon
# viscid orchid if you want non-SSL access at home, you don't go through NGINX

I want to access with SSL from outside for security and for Google Home voice commands and non-SSL from inside to cast a dashboard with DashCast on a Google Nest Hub. I tried both official and comunity addons and same result: only SSL with certificate error on internal IP access since certificate only covers DDNS from outside. This way I cannot cast my dashboard. I tried without certificate and cast is working just fine but I have no acces from outside. And, by the way, do I have to forward port 443 to <my HA IP>:8123 if I use NGINIX, because this is the way that is working now...

viscid orchid
#

if you don't want to use SSL, you need to go direct to HA and not through NGINX

#

you're already redirecting NGINX traffic to it:

<my HA IP>:8123

prime beacon
viscid orchid
#

I'm not following the problem

#

you go through NGINX if you want SSL access to HA, and you go direct to HA via <your HA IP address>:8123 when on your local network and you don't

#

doesn't matter how you run HA

#

I'm not suggesting that you not forward 443 to NGINX, but that's for SSL

#

if you don't want SSL, don't access HA that way

prime beacon
viscid orchid
#

ok. I keep repeating myself

prime beacon
#

As I said: NGNIX addon in HA; port frwd 80, 81 and 443 on router from ethernet to HA IP => internal and external access only by https with certificate error from internal ip. No http internal access. All tutorials I followd regarding NGNIX (official and comunity addon) said that https only external and http://IP or hostname intern. Not in my case.... It supposed to work this way or as in tutorials? And if I delete "ssl_certificate "and "ssl_key" from "configuration.yaml" no more https://<my DDNS> or https://<my IP> access.

covert arch
#

stop forwarding 443 to 8123

#

forward 443 to whatever nginx is exposing

#

and remove ssl config in ha

sly kindle
#

yes, removing ssl config in configuration.yaml is probably what you want

prime beacon
# covert arch stop forwarding 443 to 8123

If I stop frwd 443 to 8123 and remove ssl form config I only have internal http access. I tried all NGNIX sugestions from NGNIX pages and forums. That's way I'm asking here. Is the only place where I hope to solve this... If I did'n get that Google Nest Hub, I wouldn't even know that is not OK the way it works...

prime beacon
covert arch
#

you want internal http right?

prime beacon
covert arch
#

yes so remove the ssl config

viscid orchid
#
  • Remove all SSL cert references from the HA config
  • Configure NGINX with the SSL cert you plan to use and direct it to http://<ha address>:8123
  • Forward port 443 from your router to NGINX
sly kindle
#

let Nginx Proxy Manager get the certificate and manage it

covert arch
#

homeassistant will only do https if you give it a certificate. remove the ssl config and keep it removed

prime beacon
#

can I post some img here with my IP problems?

sly kindle
#

are you using your own domain or duckdns

#

and how are you getting the certificate

prime beacon
#

not mine nor duckdns. is a ddns from my Asus router

#

And I generated the Let's Encrypt certificate using NGNIX comunity addon

covert arch
#

you can proxy nginx https to http on homeassistant, there is no problem doing http in between as its on the same host

prime beacon
covert arch
#

yes

#

that is what you want, isn't it?

#

the next steps follow

#

but keep that ssl config away

prime beacon
#

I will do it now and post here the result, ok?

covert arch
#

the result is your domain and external and nginx access not running, we know that and is expected

#

you need to change your nginx addon to proxy to :8123

prime beacon
#

I did that in NGNIX web UI

covert arch
#

alright, then make your router port forward 443 to HA:443

prime beacon
#

did it: removed ssl, port frwd 443 to 443 => no external acces - 400: Bad Request

#

my configuration.yaml:

Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)

default_config:

Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.

#http:

base_url: http://192.168.24.128:8123

ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem

use_x_forwarded_for: true

trusted_proxies:

- 192.168.24.0/24

#

my ssl cert is in /ssl/nginxproxymanager/live/npm-<nr>/fullchain.pem. I have to move it in /ssl/ to work

covert arch
#

is that 400 Bad request happening when you use the external url?

prime beacon
#

yes

covert arch
#

and you use https ?

prime beacon
prime beacon
sly kindle
#

base_url was deprecated long ago, and you still need the configuration for trusted_proxies:

covert arch
#

then something is wrong with your nginx config, check that

#

and what cogneato says

prime beacon
sly kindle
#

NPM handles the certificate. You don't need to tell HA about it

prime beacon
#

I reinstalled it 3 or 4 times up to now. I even tried to use official addon. same result

covert arch
prime beacon
prime beacon
#

where can I post some img from my ha?

river wharfBOT
#

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.

prime beacon
#

#

I have 172.30.32.1 the other IP

#

In my VMWare, I have 192.168.24.128 and 172.30.32.1 for HA vm

covert arch
#

that sounds... weird

#

yeah but the settings as you have them in ha currently are good, you want that

#

work from there on

#

and remove your google links

Anyone knows where I can install addons ?

#

It says in documentation to go to Settings > Addons

#

but i am not seeing it anywhere

#

ok i think it's because i am not supervised

viscid orchid
#

Yes

dapper falcon
#

going to install that right now 😛

#

I was like where the hell is the option

oblique leaf
#

Please don't install Supervised

#

If you want add-ons, install HAOS instead

dapper falcon
#

oh

#

I will look that up then

#

it was for Visual Studio i found it in hassio

raven tinsel
#

Home Assistant Operating System

dapper falcon
#

but alright i will check that out

brittle night
#

Long live haos hass

dapper falcon
#

oh i can apparently run visual studio as a container and link to HA

oblique leaf
#

Yeah that's an option as well. Add-ons are just Docker containers

raven tinsel
#

add-ons have some additional "sauce" to make setup and use a little easier. E.g., automatically link with Home Assistant, access interfaces through Home Assistant and being able to protect those same interfaces with Home Assistant's authentication

#

but yeah, you can set up the same too. In the end, add-ons wrap existing software (and use a Docker containers for their distribution, although that is abstracted away from the user)

dapper falcon
#

Yeah I see

brittle night
#

frenck would it be possible to have the adguard addon use docker macvlan/ipvlan networking to allow us to use another IP for the adguard instance on our lan subnet?

dapper falcon
#

I am looking at the best path to have it work on my setup

raven tinsel
brittle night
#

ah ok

#

thx for the confirmation

dapper falcon
#

To install addons such as Visual Studio there is HAOS, Supervised and that's it ?

#

or are there other ways ?

brittle night
dapper falcon
#

(oh i forgot, there is also the install of Visual Studio as a container in my docker compose and then link that to my HASS)

dapper falcon
#

that's quite useful

oblique leaf
#

I think part of the reason people end up on Supervised is that they see the Compare Installation Methods matrix and it looks appealing "all the benefits of OS but I can manage the OS myself!", except managing the OS yourself is actually a curse

dapper falcon
#

i personally want the easiest way possible tbh

#

but if you say managing os is something that comes with supervised them im definitely not going to look into it

raven tinsel
dapper falcon
raven tinsel
#

That is by far build to be click & go (including OS updates)

dapper falcon
#

thanks guys !

#

ohhhh i see now

#

I am using the docker container that's why I don't have addons

#

so I will need to actually stop using my container and install it another way

#

i thought it was on top of it

#

now it's clearer

raven tinsel
#

Nope.
In general either use the Home Assistant Operating System or manage your own using Home Assistant Container

#

the others (Home Assistant Supervised & Home Assistant Core installation methods) are pretty darn advanced (as in, needed experience) and will take lots of effort to keep up

dapper falcon
#

I had my whole server setup using containers that's why I went with the container install of HA

raven tinsel
#

Yeah that is possible and fine too 🙂

dapper falcon
#

oh ok

#

so I can use my container AND install addons

brittle night
#

you can try

oblique leaf
raven tinsel
sly kindle
#

all you need to do is find images/containers at dockerhub and then mentally refer to those as add-ons

dapper falcon
#

seems pretty easy, just too bad it's not integrated in the container version of HA but that is a choice of mine

#

thanks for your answers guys ❤️

#

installed HA today and it's pretty empty for now but you guys are really helpful

#

i appreciate it

sly kindle
#

it does have it, and the integration results in having the supervisor to manage them and calling them add-ons

brittle night
#

we have security ratings and other cool stuff too 😛

brittle night
dapper falcon
brittle night
#

you can backup your container install and restore to haos in a vm and play around

#

worst case you jump back to the container

sly kindle
dapper falcon
#

i see what you mean

#

i just don't like having too much in my docker compose

#

but it's fine

#

i think i will do a docker compose file for my HA setup only

#

we'll see

#

(sorry frenck)

raven tinsel
#

No need to say sorry for that

#

that is a perfectly fine installation method

#

Which allows for some really nice flexibility as well

HA is gonna take me the whole weekend but oh man am i excited

the thing is I have nothing in my home that is smart (except maybe me)

sinful tapir
#

Why is this

bitter skiff
#

I'm not sure what else you're using? But an add-on paired with an integration isn't all too uncommon for things that aren't entirely built in

#

The error message you above was from an integration

sinful tapir
#

Is there a less complicated method of just opening a USB camera in HA

bitter skiff
#

I couldn't tell you the best way, just that many of the integrations are targeting IP based cameras, so your best route may be to set up an addon to expose your USB camera to one of the integrations in that manner.

#

You said above it's working in go2rtc? That should let you add it via rtsp

languid roost
# sinful tapir Is there a less complicated method of just opening a USB camera in HA

My generic IP cameras use the MJPEG IP Camera integration. It's pretty easy.

I had tried the ONVIF integration, but it doesn't like it when my IP cameras date and time drifts... And of course I am not exposing them to the internet to correct that.

RTSP didn't want to work reliably for me. Probably due to the same reasons that ONVIF complained. I didn't look into it.

Further information for people who use search:

My generic IP Cams were branded as "Yatwin", but with a bit of digging I realised they are the same as VSTARCAM.

So I downgraded the firmware to a version that has command injection vulnerabilities, and exploited those to enable telnet... Searched the internet, and found the root password, got in. Investigated...

I know I can dissect the firmware (using binwalk) and change the backdoor password, and configure things in a way where I would feel less anxious about exposing the cameras to the internet, then recompile the firmware...
I haven't got round to it yet though.

Fortunately I don't really have to do that, as HA give me the access to the feeds that I want 🙂

However, if I did do all that, one of the things I would do is get rid of the ANNOYING random http port that gets assigned to the admin panel on each boot when DHCP is used, and hard set it to something memorable. Having to NMAP the device to find a way in gets old really quick. Fortunately, you can hard set the port in the admin panel with static settings... you just have to find your way in first!

Hello everyone
I just installed HA today for the first time. I really like it!
This will likely sound ridiculous to you but using the file-editor add-on, how do I add those two dots in a new line that seem to be needed for correct yaml formatting?

sly kindle
#

Spaces

#

The dots are showing the number of spaces

tall eagle
#

So in a new line, they hit the space bar twice? Watching the video it sounds like they just hit one key once

tall eagle
sly kindle
#

Tab key

#

Maybe

#

I don't know file editors shortcuts

tall eagle

tab key gives me for 4 dots 😅
But would one dot be enough or do I need two dots? (so 1 space or 2 spaces)

Is there a way for me to delay an Add-On from starting for a specified period of time at home assistant boot up on an RPi4? I do not want to manually have to turn it on. Situation, Node-Red and Hue emulation blocks the port 80, so LetsEncrypt add-on can't check or renew my personal domain certificate. If I could delay Node-Red then LetsEncrypt would finish and then Node-Red could start up.

oblique leaf
#

If you can use DNS-01 validation for Let's Encrypt, then there's no need to use port 80 at all

tough delta
#

Unfortunately, my dns is on mydomain.com which isn't a supported provider. I was thinking maybe the RFC one was a generic standard but i didn't understand how to configure that, if I was even right in that assumption.

#

If my assumption is correct that the RFC method for DNS on LetsEncrypt is a generic standard that I may be able to implement, can you provide more information on how to do it?

brittle night
#

Then move your domain to a better registrar like cloudflare…

tough delta
#

Yes, cost is a consideration...

brittle night

$7?

Actually it’s $9 for cloudflare .com now

Cloudflare sells domains at cost. No markup

Yep

#

Namecheap pisses me off tho. They own .host and .network iirc and charge cloudflare a shitload for them

Maybe it’s just .network

When I try to restore my HA instance to a fresh test server I've been getting this error for a while:

The highlights being:

My prod instance DB is running fine, so it's curious that there's corruption in the restore. Thoughts?

#

This is a full backup and restore. Also might be relevant that my full backups are about 7 gigs and it looks like the DB is locked for about an hour:

Has anyone been able to successfully restore a mariadb addon from a backup in any recent versions?

#

I believe I've located a bug where there is absolutely no way to do that.

#

I've performed several experiments where a working database has it's tables successfully stopped before the backup and restarted after the backup is complete. But this doesn't matter, because trying to use this back up on the same system a few minutes later returns a massive thousand of lines long dump and data integrity error, stopping the maria addon

#

I don't see any open issues in the ha-core, so probably will have to open one for it, unless someone has some constructive ideas I could test.

#

@sly kindle FYI, regarding your earlier assistance with the same problem. The files I was using shouldn't have been corrupted, but obviously they all are, since none of the 5 backups I've created over the last 3 days are recoverable onto a new HA instance.

QQ - if I install Home assistant on a VM, will add-ons install through the UI? I read somewhere that didn't work if you were running it in a VM

and everything else that goes with the supervisor

Also how often do you try to restore your backups? I do it once a month when a new HA core version is released. I spin up a fresh test server, restore my latest full backup, and then upgrade to the latest version. I think I've noticed for the past few months actually that I've had these corruption errors. I thought it was related to issues with the test server, but I'm suspecting there might actually be an issue

brittle night
#

That seems excessive but I guess it’s not hurting anything (monthly backup checks)

raven tinsel

Also how often do you try to restore your backups?
I've done it twice in 5 years of being with the project (running the dev in production). All two cases have been migrating to another device (VM -> Home Assistant Blue -> Home Assistant Yellow)

I personally just think it is amazing it restores across architectures as well ( I migrated from x64 to arm64 at some point, just worked)

I use a HA Blue for pre-release add-on testing (for the arm part that is)

only data & meta data of the setup (e.g., add-ons installed and such)

#

Btw guys in #general-archived were asking about donations for nabu casa- still only way to support is by subscribing with cloud right?

Yup, that is the only way

#

another way to support the project is to look for people you want to support, e.g., contributors

I wonder what's going on with my restores though:

[ERROR] mariadbd: Got error 'Size of control file is smaller than expected' when trying to use aria control file '/data/databases/aria_log_control'

there are many people working on HA (we has 13,5K contributors in 2022), lot of them accept donations. If you use something that is maintained by someone in particular, it might be an idea to support someone that way.

zinc terrace
#

I'm just worried about submitting it, it gets some comments, and then falls off the maintainers radars. I've seen PRs submitted to fix issues I've reported that have been really small and have been sitting around for like 6 months. Really worried that's going to happen to my PR.

brittle night
#

Nature of the beast I think

We’re lucky frenck chooses to maintain so many popular things lol

We have a large queue, true. Small PRs just fall through faster in general (as easier to pick up by more people)

We are just happy people already do this ❤️

#

And yes, anyone is more inclined to review or help out with stuff from people they are familiar with

#

If you contributed your free time, we can't demand you would be reviewing certain things either.

#

Then there are bug fixes vs new features, or QA improvements in general, or things from wider used integrations, many more of those. It ain't as simple as enforcing fifo

brittle night
#

Well frenck also didn’t explain it as well as he could. Logic would also dictate that devs can see people they already approved multiple PRs for and know about their level of skill and not have to scrutinize the code as much

steep zealot
#

@zinc terrace the logs don't match for the latest round of corruptions but I've seen them before in recent memory. My latest were complete dumps of pages of records stating the tables are corrupted.

Second, it always locks the tables for that long to create a correct backup.

Beforehand about 2 years ago Maria wouldn't lock tables and this always corrupted them

I want to say maybe an incentive program would help, review PRs to get yours looked at faster. But incentives are a double edged sword sometimes. Then you'll get a bunch of half assed reviews lol

hmm, after updating to HA 2023.1.7, the repairs menu is saying to upgrade devices to ESPHome 2022.12.4 but it looks like the latest version of the add-on is still 2022.12.3? Manually checked for updates and there's nothing newer at the moment

brittle night

No argument there, but to Scott’s point a ‘street sweeper’ to go through old open issues would maybe be nice

Like how helpdesk tickets get revised after so many months

Is there some experience here on running AdGuard Home as an add-on vs. stand alone. And I guess v.s. pi-hole standalone?
I need to use it as my DHCP server, is there any issue doing this on my HA yellow?

oblique leaf
#

I run AdGuard as an add-on, works great. Using it as a DHCP server isn't a requirement to work though, you can just change your DHCP settings on the router to use it for DNS

#

I used to use pihole but switched to AdGuard since it was available as an add-on and I wanted to keep it all consolidated

inner willow
oblique leaf
#

It sounds like you may have changed your upstream DNS setting, rather than the DNS server that DHCP hands out

#

The location varies by router, but it would be with the rest of your DHCP settings usually

inner willow
#

I have done that in my router yes - even just using 1.1.1.1 as DNS causes the ad-blocker to not identify the clients. I've mucked around with ad-guard but previously used pi-hole

oblique leaf
#

What kind of router do you have?

inner willow
#

linksys EA9500 - not had a great experience with it but the wifi is great.

#

very limiting config options

#

I will give the DNS a try but last time I just had one client in the list that represented my whole network

oblique leaf
inner willow
#

The other reason for wanting to use ad-guard as DHCP is that this routers UI has been freezing and making changes to DHCP reservation has been extremely painful

inner willow
oblique leaf
#

You'd also need to either release/renew the DHCP lease on all the computers, by either running the appropriate commands for your OS or the simpler option is just to reboot

inner willow
#

I'll experiment for a bit and come back. DHCP release only required if I use ad-guard as DHCP server though right? I'm not a network guru

oblique leaf
#

No, so whenever you change the DNS settings in your router's DHCP server, you need to release/renew for the clients to get that change to take effect

#

If you're on Windows, you can ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew to get a new lease. Then if you ipconfig /all it would show the DNS servers it received. By default it's probably getting something like 192.168.1.1 and you want it to instead get the IP of your Yellow running AdGuard

inner willow
#

Odd..
have released and renewed and windows is still reporting the router as DNS.

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

Definitely applied yellow's static IP as DNS. web browsing is working OK

#

oh hold on -
AdGuard Home DNS server is listening on the following addresses: 127.0.0.1
That's not my yellow IP. linksus won't accept this as a DNS address though.

brittle night
#

You misunderstood him above

#

Your router is handing out its own ip instead of adguard’s because you didn’t change the dns dhcp address

#

Your router can still be your dhcp server yet it can also hand out DNS servers when it is handling DHCP with a client

#

I’m sure that’s confusing lol

inner willow
#

Yep - I've been using this to set my upstream DNS manually - no problem.
I've changed my router now to have a static DNS of 192.168.1.93 (the local ip of my HA install).
Adguard home instructs to use 127.0.0.1, but my router says that's invalid.

brittle night
#

here's what's happening:
client device connects to router (say.. an iphone after putting in wifi ssid/password) -> router says k bro i see you have a MAC address so here's an IP address and also here's a DNS server -> phone says kthxbabe and then is on the network

#

127.0.0.0-127.255.255.255 is loopback

inner willow
#

Yep that's how I get it. So having released and renewed on my windows PC - why is it still showing router gateway as DNS, instead of the DNS I've put in?

brittle night
#

on your router config page you set DHCP DNS to 192.168.1.93?

inner willow
#

Yep it is.

#

I would past screenshot but I don't think I have premissions to do so on this channel

brittle night
#

you have to use imgur

inner willow
brittle night
#

that looks like the dns for your router

#

not dns that dhcp will hand out

#

but maybe it is

oblique leaf
#

That looks like the correct page, it has toggles for the DHCP server

brittle night
#

it doesnt explicitly state it

inner willow
#

It has been working fine using an upstream smartDNS that I use to watch HBOGo in australia

brittle night
#

cool

inner willow
#

When I previously had pi-hole running on an raspberry pi - I had to use the pi-hole DHCP server (which was much better than linksys). I've since retired that pi though.

inner willow
#

So this is behaviour of this router. On closer inspection, regardless of upstream DNS entered in to linksys router, then client will report the router IP as the DNS address. it is proxying DNS requests.

#

So that takes me back to using ad-guard as DHCP server. Is there any reason I wouldn't do this in a HA add-on?

oblique leaf
#

There shouldn't be any issues with letting the add-on be the DHCP server as long as you disable the router's DHCP server

inner willow
#

Yep. I went out on a limb and did that. didn't work until I restarted the router, now all good

#

'tentatively'
Just need to recreate those reservations before weirdness starts

#

I suppose the follow-on question (which I'll just experiment with) is if I can still use my SmartDNS as the upstream DNS?

#

answer - yes i can

brittle night
#

so if hass is down you still have working dns

inner willow
#

Ah, that is great to know. Thanks.

#

I have a pi running some docker containers. I may install it on that now that I've worked out how to get it going.

#

having redundancy seems smart.

#

How does that handle having two DHCP servers? appreciate both of your help @brittle night @oblique leaf

brittle night
#

it wouldnt

oblique leaf
#

2 DHCP servers will either not work, if you're lucky, or they'll just fight and make a mess

brittle night
#

But all your devices on your network would still have dns if hass was down

#

You just couldn’t add new devices without manually setting an ip and subnet mask

inner willow
#

Yes I understand you never run more than 1x DHCP, wasn't sure if the sync application handled that or not.

Just set up frigate as an add-on in haos, within a VM on my server. Is there anyway of mapping a drive to use for storage?

potent storm
#

I would just purchase a NAS for storage.

raven tinsel
#

and some very very early attempts/initiatives to implement such things have started.
but right now, that is something that is not natively supported.

inner yarrow
#

Thanks.
I'm sure there's probably a way of making some association between folders on my camera storage drive and where the add-on stores content. Even if the functionality doesn't exist in frigate or ha to define storage location.

HAOS is meant to be an appliance that you don't modify outside of what's supported, so if you need more complex storage layouts you're better off switching to a Container install

Hi! Having an issue with my MOES thermostat over z2m lately. My log is spammed with this entry:
homeassistant.exceptions.InvalidStateError: Invalid state encountered for entity ID: sensor.wz_thermostat_program. State max length is 255 characters.
I estimate this has to be solved in z2m but is it possible to mute this error message to avoid log spamming?

# brittle night so if hass is down you still have working dns

So I've been back and set this up today. I am succesfully syncing from my primary (HA add-on) adguard to a secondary (pi docker) instance of adguard.
I'm not sure how I can get my devices to use the secondary adguard instance for DNS resolution if/when HA is offline?

#

I would have thought I could set my secondary adguard instance as an 'upstream DNS server' but it fails the tests.

brittle night
#

That’s not what upstream is for

#

Upstream is for an authoritative dns server like cloudflare

#

Pihole and adguard are dns black holes but they still need to hit some other server for actual needed nslookups that aren’t already cached

#

You can set multiple dns servers on clients

#

And dhcp dns can give out multiple

inner willow
#

OK. Seeing as my network DNS is handed out by the adguard DHCP server, and that tells my clients where to go. If adguard is down, I can't back that functionality up?

inner willow
#

Might be that I'm trying to do something that's more suited to having the router assign adguard as DNS server

#

At least I have a backup! If the pi running the backup had an SSD in it, I'd use it as primary. But it doesn't.

How do I edit a file of an addon in HAOS?

raven tinsel
#

One doesn't

#

Add-ons are not persistent files on a disk

#

(changes are not persistent that is)

But the addon in question requires me to edit its config file

What problem are you trying to solve?
