#

I want to set up something like znc with hassos SSL since the certs are allready pulled

finite goblet
#

@raven tinsel unfortunately it's not available for the RPi 3B+ (This add-on is not available on your system.), arch: armv7l

raven tinsel
#

Yes, I could enable armv7

#

(since feb already)

#

but I didn't

honest bloom
#

install hassos 64bit

raven tinsel
#

@finite goblet Main reason is: If you have a Pi3, you have max 1gb mem

#

you don't want to run it

#

really

#

you don't

honest bloom
#

this is true

raven tinsel
#

Which is the reason I've not released it for armv7 in general.

#

I'm not taking the support hit for it

#

because, if you start running out of memory

#

you will get weird stuff

#

and I'm not the one that is going to take that blame 😄

honest bloom
#

@raven tinsel where is ssl mounted in the addons?

raven tinsel
#

depends on the system

finite goblet
#

yeah, only 1GB. I think I will move to RPi 4 with 4 GB of RAM

honest bloom
#

how about portainer?

raven tinsel
#

@finite goblet If you want to change/move devices, please consider something else... not a Raspberry Pi

sly kindle
#

@honest bloom portainer is a container

honest bloom
#

im trying to go through and find the mount point in the container

sly kindle
#

all data is on the data partition

#

/mnt/data/supervisor/...

honest bloom
#

right, I guess I need to enable dev ssh so I can find the dir

finite goblet
#

@raven tinsel what other device you propose to use?

raven tinsel
#

@finite goblet For real, spent a couple of bucks extra for a ODROID N2+

#

or get a nuc (ish)

#

but skip the Pi4.

#

If you want to switch to something like that

honest bloom
#

pi4 is weak on the cpu front

raven tinsel
#

Well the CPU... 🤷‍♂️

#

the SD card

#

if you spend money

#

spend a couple of more to get rid of the SD card

finite goblet
#

already did 😄

raven tinsel
#

eMMC on the ODROID is fast and durable

finite goblet
#

I have SSD connected to RPi 3B

honest bloom
#

external boot is in 5.x but tensorflow kills the cpu

raven tinsel
#

@honest bloom On SOCs based boards, you don't want to run Tensorflow on the CPU anyways

#

if you do, use a TPU

honest bloom
#

I know but I need to go find a decent cost effective solution

raven tinsel
#

an edge TPU ships for 60 bucks these days 🤷‍♂️

honest bloom
#

coretel from google has some bad accuracy

raven tinsel
#

and handles a couple of camera's with ease

finite goblet
#

are TPUs already available for the public?

honest bloom
#

assuming doods on hassio supports one

#

I know it does on a classic docker setup

finite goblet
raven tinsel
#

In the end

#

the Pi is popular

#

but in my opinion for the wrong reasons

#

yeah, they where first

#

but most definitely aren't the right choice for about anything

#

the only reason people buy them... because it became a goto / well known name

honest bloom
#

they keep making big mistakes like usbc or their POE hat

#

or their power management on the usb chipset

raven tinsel
#

And sure, easy to get. Fine price, a lot of (community) support

#

but yeah, like @honest bloom points out, a lot of issues

finite goblet
#

On 3B+ I have hass.io on the docker and it works ok. on the 4B I have DLNA server, am compiling Tasmota and wanted to run Mycroft on it but couldn't to make it work

raven tinsel
#

and still a freaking SD card... power issues, design failures, bad GPIO support (64 bits nightmare), heating

#

🤷‍♂️

finite goblet
#

I think is pretty easy setup for beginner

raven tinsel
#

Yeah absolutely

#

but is isn't different on e.g., a N2

finite goblet
#

but now I'm just to lazy to change it 😄

honest bloom
#

im replacing my 4 with a nuc as soon as I get the money

raven tinsel
#

I have the Pi3, Pi3B+, Pi4, N2, N2+, Pine64 and a couple of others

#

All I can say, from all those, the N2 and N2+ are the solid choices from every singleboard computer I owned

#

second choice for me would be the Pine64

#

(although the latter is not supported by HA)

spare dune
#

i'd like to see some SBCs with IPMI support 🙂

honest bloom
#

ahh /mnt/data/supervisor/ssl/

#

well cool, I think portainer and doods should support the tpu

#

I guess ill do it and scan each frame and make it a live feed for ha

#

I can always buy more tpus for more cameras

#

@sly kindle thank you

finite goblet
#

@raven tinsel thanks. i will think about Odroid N2+ or NUC 🙂

honest bloom
#

please do, the sd card is slow

covert arch
#

can I make a add-on restart with cli?

#

oh I see the addons name's should be consistent - need to
docker restart addon_62c7908d_emulated_hue

honest bloom
#

man if I could have docker compose in the web terminal addon

#

I would dump portainer

dark yoke
#

You can?

viscid orchid
#

indeed, you can

#

apk add docker-compose

#

(profit!)

#

@honest bloom

honest bloom
#

fails to install

viscid orchid
#

not for me

#

I did it and I've used it

honest bloom
#

oh? not anymore?

viscid orchid
#
➜  ~ apk add docker-compose
OK: 299 MiB in 223 packages
#

I already installed it, so it just returned that time

honest bloom
#

it used to fail months ago

viscid orchid
#

good thing it's not months ago

honest bloom
#

well ill be dammed

viscid orchid
#

that was a dark time

honest bloom
#

3 months ago 😛

#

question is... does it survive upgrades

viscid orchid
#

get yer docker-compose on. We need more power-user Home Assistant OS peeps evangelizing the awesomeness

#

not if you just add it from the command line, but you can put it in the addon config

honest bloom
#

yah, ill just have to make a script for each compose container

viscid orchid
#

packages: []

honest bloom
#

more like a registry list

#

yah im adding it there now

viscid orchid
#

dunno what the perf hit is at startup:

#

Option: packages
Allows you to specify additional Alpine packages to be installed in your shell environment (e.g., Python, Joe, Irssi).

Note: Adding many packages will result in a longer start-up time for the add-on.

honest bloom
#

who cares

viscid orchid
#

agreed

honest bloom
#

as long as it can really deploy a docker container

viscid orchid
#

it can

honest bloom
#

portainer is going away

#

Protection mode disabled it is for system access to files

viscid orchid
#

and docker

#

you do have to disable that

honest bloom
#

thank you @viscid orchid you just made my day

viscid orchid
#

pay it forward when somebody calls Home Assistant "limited" or only for people with limited/no technical skills

honest bloom
#

yah, this just opened hassos wide open for me

#

portainer is a buggy POS that I was forced to use

#

then again, I just like the CLI

viscid orchid
#

the only thing that's stopping me from using it more is that I run Home Assistant OS in a VM and I dislike having general services like MQTT tied to that VM. Or OZW

#

now that I've moved to the OpenZWave beta, I like having those containers outside HA so that I can bounce the VM without killing them. But it's great for other stuff

honest bloom
#

on a pi 4 till I move it to a nuc

#

it nice to be able to bounce them if you have the gear

#

I do not so this is the best solution for lazy people like me

viscid orchid
#

sure

Hi

#

I have the ftp add-on but it doesn't show the media folder (I'm on home assistant is)

#

And it shows up in the configurator, just not ftp

#

Is there a way to make the folder visible

#

Does anyone else have this issue?

vernal cobalt
#

Hello anyone got some time to help me out?

#

I installed the ssh&web terminal addon, started it but when opening the terminal nothing shows up

vernal cobalt
#

Fixed it with installing the official addon

#

but is it possible to ssh from an external client like putty instead of using the webui version?

Hey, does anyone know how I can edit configs for a device for zwave2mqtt ?

#

It seems the aeotec door sensor is not supported, the state is always "Unknown"

tawdry phoenix
#

Hello, has anyone had any experience with Atomic Calendar Revive? I can't seem to get it working and want to know where I'm going wrong

hard hull
#

Curious, for those who use MQTT add-on - what does that allow you to do that Home Assistant by itself does not do? So far, most of my smart home devices have their own integrations in HA, so I haven't seen the need to add MQTT. However, I'm curious to hear what it could add to my home. Thanks 🙂

north ether
#

update: i have solved my issue, i just needed to add media: true to my config in ftp addon

red forge
#

hellooo here again with another issue 🙃
integration "nut" for Network UPS Tools.
Failure getting NUT ups alias, Socket error.
The issue on Git is resolved (if you google it) - so i'd like to ask if anyone here have ever configured this integration.
Because the container starts and connects fine to the ups, but the sensor doesn't connect to the integration container.

Solved: the container was missing the port on the Network section in configuration. 🤦‍♂️

#

@hard hull MQTT, once you use it for 1 single device, you would want to use it for everything.
I started using it, without even knowing what it was, with Zigbee2Mqtt.
Which is a usb sniffer for Zigbee network that connects to sensors (and other things) and reports the status through MQTT to home assistant.

Yes, there is ZHA, but back then when i installed it, people were not talking nice about ZHA and pointed at zigbee2mqtt like good lord ands savior.

#

after that, i started using tasmota and realized how cool it is a lightweight messaging protocol for internal use.

#

then, also monitor for bluetooth presence detection, uses mqtt

#

and a couple of other ESP devices which i programmed with my own code, to connect to HA, i used, again, mqtt.

hard hull
#

@red forge that's great to know! Do you have any recommended tutorials to break it down to the very basics? Many that I've seen are labeled as beginner's tutorials but then quickly go to levels beyond my basic comprehension of these areas 🙂

fair mirage
#

First time asking something. Already used search without luck. I run hassos on rpi3. I installed an add on but in order to read my network drive it needs to disable the protection mode. Any idea how can I do this? Tnx

#

Hi all. I have a quick one here about a community add-on integration to the pannel.

#

TasmoAdmin is just great. I have an issue with the integration in the panel. If I click on the integration link it opens it within the main page, however authentication always fails.

#

if I open in a new window (right click, open in new tab/window), same username/pass always work

#

I did search for the issue but to no avail. Maybe I'm missing something the more experienced would know about?

arctic valley
#

@hard hull I use MQTT for integration with a large CBus network of lights and blinds. I run cmqttd to translated CBus network protocol / events to MQTT events. Works well.

mental elm
#

@fair mirage which add on? Does it not have a checkbox along with the auto update/auto start /watchdog ones?

Great, thanks! I'd like to encourage whoever is responsible for those accounts to try and get them the "verified" badge or whatever it is called. I think that communicates more trust.

No one will use those containers directly, so it does not really matter

#

Hi,

Today I'll ask again, but let me give a better explaination:

A few days ago I've set up a Plex server on my Home Assistant. I've enabled SSL, so that works fine, but I am not able to couple the SSL certificate to the Plex server. I want to couple it with my Home Assistants DuckDNS SSL Certifcate, but Plex asks about a PKCS12 file, but DuckDNS creates fullchain.pem and a privkey.pem file. I don't want to create every 3 months a new PKCS12 by hand. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am thinking about using influxdb as a database and had thought about connecting an external ssd to my pi. Is it possible to create an influx database on the SSD and if possible how do I do that?

viscid orchid
#

I believe that the only way to do that with the Influx addon is to move the entire data partition to the SSD. Luckily, that’s easy and recommended

viral jungle
#

Nice! Thanks. I will give it a try! Would you recommend influx or marian db?

viscid orchid
#

They’re not interchangeable. MariaDB is a good replacement for the default SQLlite DB that’s used by recorder: for history, while influx is a completely different database used to store time-series data from specific entities

#

I use both

viral jungle
#

Thank you for the help! I will have a look into both.

Question re: the Check Home Assistant Configuration addon - is there a way to have it send an event when it's done checking the configuration? I have an automation which detects when an update is available and starts the check config service - it'd be nice to get a response from the addon when it's done (preferably with its result), and surface that in my mobile device's update notification (instead of just that there's an update available).

covert arch
#

that is in general a bad idea because of breaking changes.
thus said you can check your config on the command line and get a return value so all you need is a simple script

fair mirage
#

@mental elm thank you! I really appreciate it. That was it. I'm new to home assistant!

mental elm
#

Now that you've disabled protection mode be careful 😜
Just a good general thing for a new person or anyone to do, you take snapshots and download them to another computer regularly, correct?

hi everyone... I am trying to implement user based control via telegram... Example ,, My family is on a telegram group... but I only want certain members to turn on the Alarm, and whenever the alarm is activated , I want to receive a personal message from the bot , not via the group... so I only want to use the group for allowing everyone to use the media controls(via telegram commands) but I myself alone must have the permission to turn the alarm on and off , but the group as well as myself ,(direct message), must receive the notification that the alarm is on , hence i am going to mute the group so i don't receive notifications if someone changes the tv volume

#

I want to allow all people in the group without having to add their "ID" to the configurations , so if a guest is visiting , I can quickly allow him/her to have access to the media controls ,,

#

Yes I am using telegram as an controlling interface as you can then control the home features from outside the network without having to use other services

@stuck plume none of this is related to add-ons 🤷‍♂️

#

I am done thanks dear , I do have another question which is somehow wired since my ISP is CG NAT whidh mean I can't use duckdns I was able to reverse all request through SOCK5 which mean that I can login to homeassistant throught ip address but the problem now is that I don't know how I can configure https with let's encrypt since it does need domain

#

and I don't have a domain

#

I am using ssh sock5 through ngrok to access my local server is it possible to enable https with only ip address

#

any idea ?

dark yoke
#

Not possible, https require a valid SSL certificate, you can only get that issues to a domain name

feral ridge
#

I do have a domain but since I do use ngrok

#

how I might allocate a cert for my domain

#

while I am accessing my server

#

through ngrok

#

if some there had issue with CG NAT please let me know

#

any way thanks alot dear and sorry for interrupting you

#

is it possible to broadcast to main channel if someone did setup homeassistant through CG NAT

I am playing with the Nginx Proxy Manager to add nginx as a reverse proxy server. I only want to open one port. Is the number of that port totally random or could I just use port 80. And if I would use port 80 which disadvatage would i have ?
And is the lets encypt addon needed ?

covert arch
#

dont use 80 - 80 is plain http.
use 443 - https

#

afaik you still need to forward 80 at least to nginx for certs

paper magnet
#

Maybe I could use both because i force ssl

#

now I have the problem that I can acress with firefox but not with chrome which isnt related to HA i think

covert arch
#

then you might need special vhost config because 80 with ssl won't work with cert requests

#

you can use sth like sslh to have ssl also on 80 for this purpose

#

thats what I do atleast... have openvpn,ssh,https and stunnel all on 80 and 443

cunning wolf
#

If you want remote access, open all the relevant ports. Why would you want SSL but not have 443 open?

Running a dockerized supervisor HA install and I noticed that when I kill/stop all the containers - the supervisor container restarts, restarts all the core HA containers, but it doesn't restart the add-on containers, even if I have auto-start in the add-on configuration as shown. I don't mind going in and restarting them, but seems to defeat the "start on boot" or "watchdog" options. https://imgur.com/a/59WAJQ0

viscid orchid
#

The supervised installation doesn’t expect you to mess with the HA containers at all

#

And isn’t designed to accommodate it

open cradle
#

Right, but say there was a power outage... What does "start on boot" mean then?

viscid orchid
#

Everything should start on its own at boot

#

That doesn’t sound like what you’re doing - you’re manually stopping and starting things

open cradle
#

Sure, but if I stop all the containers in that list - systemd will restart supervisor, supervisor will start up all the non-add-on containers.

#

It's not a big deal - just curious why it doesn't work as expected. 🙂

Alright, I'm going crazy. I don't see where I install add-ons. I see tutorials show a "HAss.io" button in the sidebar, but I don't have that.

#

Not sure which install you're using? If you have system_health enabled you can check Configuration -> Info, or see the following.

  • If you're using HassOS, flashed an image, or booted a VM with an image you're using #330990055533576204

  • If you installed Linux and then ran a script to install HA and have add-ons then you have #330944238910963714

  • If you're running docker commands or use a Docker manager and have no add-ons then you have #449717345808547842

  • Finally, if you use pip to install or upgrade you have #551864459891703809

Gotcha. I have HA installed in an unraid docker.

no add-ons for you then 😉

Lol that makes it much more simple then

#

Thanks!

#

@honest vigil most of the add-ons in a supervisor install can be found in unraid's app store

honest vigil
#

Yep, just wanted an integrated text editor instead of going through Krusader when I wanted to make yaml changes

sly kindle
#

integrated would be hard without supervisor, but you could share the app data directory out using unraid's samba and use whatever editor you want

honest vigil
#

I have that set as is with my samba, but even with 777 permissions on that folder, I get locked out from saving changes. It's strange. I'll just use Krusader when needed.

sly kindle
#

@honest vigil oh right...I had to cut all of the contents out and then copy them back when I first had that install going.

then permissions were fine

Hi all. Anyone able to help with some SSH issues? I'm trying to SSh into Hassio on my pi, using WinSCP. But for the life of me I can't seem to connect. All I want to do is access root so I can edit the tuya light patch file.

#

need more details on "can't seem to connect". You installed one of the addons? And connecting to the IP address of the HA instance? Configured with password or key?

Hi @viscid orchid I've installed the terminal & SSH add-on. I'm trying to connect via IP port 22 and set up with password. Apologies.

viscid orchid
#

np. it just refuses the connection?

#

and you configured the port in the addon configuration?

#

Yeah ticks over for a few then comes up. Network error "IP" refused. I've set file protocol to SCP and set shell to sudo su-. I've configured to port 22 and set password and I'm using root as the username.

not if you want a shell

does anybody how to kick a refresh of the Let's Encrypt cert on the DuckDNS addon? my cert expired 2 days ago and the addon is not even attempting to renew or giving any info in the logs as per why

sly kindle
#

@compact bloom restarting it would do that

that doesn't look like an addon or an integration

#

it looks like "A python client and utility for interacting with Honeywell thermostats"

did something indicate that it's an addon?

I am a big fan of the custom layout card and I have been using it for quite a while now without any problems. Unfortunately, after upgrading to Home Assistant 0.116.2 (from 0.115.6) it doesn't seem to work anymore. The card doesn't show anything and stays empty, even hitting the reload button on firefox or chrome (I first thought of some browser caching problem) doesn't fix the problem. The Home Assistant logs don't show any errors. Anyone else experience such problems?

I have a deconz server running on a Pi 3B+. I have Home Assistant running on a separate machine, a VM in a Windows machine. In the Home Assistant, I have installed the deconz addon. How do I configure to make it connect to the deconz server? Currently it says "device: /dev/ttyAMA0" in the config, as it was all running on the same Pi before.

steady bobcat
#

If you have deconz running on another machine you do not want the Deconz Add-on but the Deconz Integration.

#

That's added in Configuration configuration -> Integrations and will find your deconz server automatically.

fervent oracle
#

The connection works fine, HA sees everything on deconz and can control/get notified.

#

I thought it would be nice with the addon shortcut to admin the deconz. No way to set that up?

I don't use Supervised, so I'll drop out of this conversation here.

I installed mqtt on HA that is running in virtualbox on my Intel Nuc everything runs fine but when starting mqtt and opening the web ui it gives the bad gateway error it also shuts down a few seconds after I start it automatically.

"Client IP not within allowed networks."

#

which add-on are you using?

#

and what does the config for that add-on look like?

fast scarab
#

@sly kindle I'm using File Manager from the official repo - it looks like it's "hass_configurator" on the backend.

Here is my addon config:

`dirsfirst: false
enforce_basepath: true
ignore_pattern:

  • pycache
  • .cloud
  • .storage
  • deps
    ssh_keys: []`
sly kindle
#

File Editor

#

ok so within your configuration.yaml you have some auth provider for allowed networks somewhere?

fast scarab
#

thanks for your help @sly kindle I didn't have any auth provider in my main configuration.yaml file. However I tried adding my own adding my network into it with no luck so far:

`homeassistant:
auth_providers:

  • type: trusted_networks
    trusted_networks:
    • 172.30.32.1
    • ::1
    • 192.168.1.0/24`
#

Sorry yes, File Editor, not File Manager 🙂

sly kindle
#

@fast scarab do you have an ip_bans.yaml present in your config directory?

fast scarab
#

no - looked for that in the "homeassistant" docker instance.

I have a couple Ring floodlights + a Ring Pro Doorbell. I've had the Integration for a while but, based on recommendations, just installed the "Ring Devices" MQTT add-on in addition to keeping the standard Integration. I'm told this will make the system more responsive. My question is: Do I need to change anything in terms of the Ring integration, my automations that use Ring, or my Node RED flows that use Ring? Or is everything handled behind the scenes?

Hi friends, my brain is not in gear today ... I am trying out Home Assistant OS as a virtual KVM appliance ... and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get HACS installed

DOH! As I said, brain not in gear. I was so afraid of the command line. I thought that the command line only permitted ha [command]! Need some sleep. Thanks @sly kindle.

I see now that the HA CLI is just a linux command line. 😒

@weary stratus the curl command should work in the ssh addon terminal?

Hi, I'm having trouble configuring deCONZ for a RaspBee II. I made a forum post, but I figure maybe I could get a quicker reply here.

The configuration for the deCONZ addon is empty on my end, and whatever I add to it, I get this error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null

From what I can tell from video tutorials, the configuration is not supposed to be empty by default. It should have contained this:
{ "device": null }

So i wonder if the configuration file is broken or missing or something? I don't know what to even try here.

#

Lol okay, a window popped up asking me if I wanted to "update" to the latest version 247, since I was "only" running 248, so i was running too NEW of a version? Does the default install image somehow come with a beta version of supervisor?

Anyway, I just accepted, and now it works.

Hi Guys, got a bit of an issue. I installed and configured Nginx Proxy Manager, all good here (ports opened, SSL installed and working, etc.) . My idea is to configure basic authentication, it worked find to login into HA Supervised (running on Intel NUC). However, when e.g. I want to check the error logs in HA, it doesn't load. Checking the logs of the Proxy Manager, I can see 401 error (Authentication required). I am already authenticated obviously. Any ideas on how I can configure Nginx to avoid it? Many thanks in advance!

To add, I have enabled Websockets in the configuration of NPM, but alas, doesn't really work. It is asking for auth for most of the links in HA (like History or other Ingress addons)

Hi guys,

I want to install Node-RED, but I'm having a bit of trouble with !secret (First time)

When trying to edit the config file of the addon, I will get a "invalid YAML" error
Does anyone know what the problem is?

#

"http_node:

This is how it's written

try to enclose it like this

viscid orchid
#

indentation matters:

http_node:

hmm, tested on a clean install of the addon, it seems that it doesn't support !secrets

viscid orchid
#

Option: http_node
To password protect the node-defined HTTP endpoints (httpNodeRoot), the following properties can be used:

username

Note: These options support secrets, e.g., !secret red_password.

exactly that, not with random capital letters?

otherwise "invalid YAML" shows as the error

Quick question for anyone here that may be familiar with it. I'm considering installing bookstack, the wiki plugin, but I worry about expandability and portability. How difficult would it be to make use of an external drive for the wiki files themselves, and how difficult would it be to export the database to another wiki implementation when it outgrows the pi my hass install currently runs on and I want to give it a dedicated home?

Hey, I've switched from a Rasbian based system to hassos. Before I have used the borgbackup package and an external HDD to provide a backup-server. What would be the best way, to bring that software into my HA system? Do I have to create an add-on? Use a docker image?

covert arch
#

you could just use the supervisor snapshot feature and maybe the smb addon to access the backups?

soft kraken
#

I don't want to backup my HA, but other systems

#

That would work through ssh alone, but having the borgbackup binary on the server is the most efficient way

covert arch
#

you'd need another host running borg or run it as a container on hass_os

soft kraken
#

Is there a way to bring the binary nativly to hassos via an add-on?

nah, you're way faster with a container

Does port 80 have to be forwarded to Home Assistant in order for Nginx Proxy Manager add-on to refresh the LetsEncrypt certificate?

#

I'm getting daily attacks on my public port 80. They're getting blocked by USG but I would like to close off port 80 if possible.

sly kindle
#

@tired swift it is needed to for authentication, but you could change the port to something less known

tired swift
#

It would be awesome if Nginx Proxy Manager could talk through HA to have the Unify Controller open port 80, then do it's authentication and have the ports close after completion (or an hour or something). ·dreams on·

#

Couldn't find anything about setting up a different port, I guess that won't work in the add-on but I would have to run a full on Docker install. Or have you seen something I'm missing in the docs?

sly kindle
#

actually, yeah you're going to be stuck with 80 for the NPM add-on.

tired swift
vernal flume
#

@tired swift Do you control your own DNS domain/server? If so, you could set up LetsEncrypt via DNS auth.. That's what I do (as HA is on a private IP and not exposed to the world, but I want TLS locally).

#

Speaking of which ---- When LetsEncrypt gets a new certificate --- what is the best way to automate a restart of all the services that depend on it (e.g. HTTP and Mosquitto)

sly kindle
#

@tired swift I didn't know that was possible. Thanks

tired swift
#

@vernal flume Yeah I can manage my own DNS for my domain. I used to run a docker container besides of HA that would automatically add a DNS record for authentication (instead of the open port 80). Worked pretty great actually; https://github.com/adferrand/dnsrobocert
But Nginx Proxy Manager has its pro's too, and the switch was pretty seamless.

vernal flume
#

What about the TLS-consumer restart?

tired swift
#

Haven't heard of that before?

vernal flume
#

Well, when the certificate is renewed you need to restart (or at least reload) the services that are consuming that cert. That includes the HTTPS engine, and anything else using it. In my case that includes the Mosquitto MQTT broker.
I just solved the "need to run an automation to renew the LE Cert in HA" issue, but still have not solved the "need to restart the TLS services after the renewal completes".

tired swift
#

Are you running the HomeAssistent OS or another OS? You should be able to run an automation that fires a bash script that restarts the services you need, right?

vernal flume
#

HassOS

#

The issue is that I can't find an event for "cert has been renewed". I don't see any way to test that, or get feedback from the LetsEncrypt AddOn, and I don't want to restart HA every time we attempt to renew -- because that's every night!

tired swift
#

Yeah, I catch your drift. I'm at the beginning of putting in any research so I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that either.

sly kindle
#

@vernal flume maybe the file sensor integration?

#

how are you getting your certificate?

vernal flume
#

@sly kindle LetsEncrypt add-on

#

It's got half the problem solved.. Dunno if "homeassistant.restart" will also restart mosquitto add-on?

sly kindle
#

no

#

you would use hassio.addon_restart

#

and specify which add-on

#

addon: core_ssh for example

vernal flume
#

Gotcha. Well, at least I seem to have a way to do it now, if I add the cert_expiry integation.

#

well, no need to restart ssh 😉 but I would need to restart mosquitto.

sly kindle
#

yeah, whichever add-ons you need to restart, the name used in the url

Hi, I have a problem with my new HA install: in the addon store tab there are only community addons but no official addons, do anyone know how to resolve this issue?

viscid orchid
#

I answered that for someone last night

narrow spade
#

It gives me "Not a valid add-on repository" error

dark yoke
#
  1. Supervisor -> System -> Reload
  2. Supervisor -> Store -> Reload
    if still issues:
    Supervisor -> System -> Reboot
narrow spade
#

I have tried that before with no luck

dark yoke
#

In that exact order?

narrow spade
#

okay I will try again

#

don't remember the order

If I have a full backup, and just want to restore one addon. I can just uncheck everything else and use "Restore selected" right? Better ask then sorry 😛

viscid orchid
#

@slow pewter How did you generate the key?

slow pewter
#

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com" from my macOS @viscid orchid

#

then copied over to Synology using...
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id.pub -p PORT USER@HOST

dark yoke
#

Your filesystem is corrupted @narrow spade

viscid orchid
#

what are you using for your addon config?

#

formatting the key there is a bit of a pain in the ass

narrow spade
#

its fresh install i did pretty much nothing

#

So Reinstall I guess ;/

dark yoke
#

Yes, but that alone will not help

#

you will need to replace the storage media

narrow spade
#

Oh

dark yoke
#

It will end up the same

narrow spade
#

So it is hardware problem?

dark yoke
#

Most likely

#

if it was software, we all would have it 😉

narrow spade
#

damn

#

I just love computers

#

It's just pure fun

#

Thanks for help

#

I'm going for fresh install

#

See you later

dark yoke
#

Unless it's on another storage media, it will not help much

@viscid orchid

ssh_host: host
ssh_port: port

#

Are you supposed to actually break each line out to strings as a separated array?

viscid orchid
#

I recall having to play games with the key formatting. mine looks like this:

#
ssh_key:
  - '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----'
  - MIIEowIBAAKCAQEAusVEX+Z/mGLfVQ6cODMS2fQ2SVZgfGtY+T+RgesNVOjp8lbt

  - HkpB0fDZXKAVvFlL3xJNP5q2PmB7Wi1tGQH/HddJwfuvN2Y0QlmF
  - '-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----'
#

that's basically the equivalent of the example in the readme:

#
  "ssh_key": [
"-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----",
"MIICXAIBAAKBgQDTkdD4ya/Qxz5xKaKojVIOVWjyeyEoEuAafAvYvppqmaBhyh4N",
"5av4i87y8tdGusdq7V0Zj0+js4jEdvJRDrXJBrp1neLfsjkF6t1XLfrA51Ll9SXF",
"...",
"X+6r/gTvUEQv1ufAuUE5wKcq9FsbnTa3FOF0PdQDWl0=",
"-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
  ],
#

it's not intuitive

@dark yoke I have found some other SD card so maybe it will work

slow pewter
#

@viscid orchid is it any issue that my key is OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY ?

viscid orchid
#

you can add debug in the script and output to a file. that's how I debugged the original script and fixed it to work with the most recent builds

#

and you can test the scp line from the command line to make sure it works

slow pewter
#

@viscid orchid how does one debug the script and output to a file?

viscid orchid
#

this is getting a little involved

slow pewter
#

I think I got the formating to work but it still says permission denied

viscid orchid
#

you may want to try one of the works-out-of-the-box addons instead. I had to hack this one to get it to work

#

this one is more of a DIY project

slow pewter
#

@viscid orchid Lol, nearly there though. And I don't know of any other addon that can backup snapshots to synology.

viscid orchid
#

In the end, it’s just calling a shell script (run.sh)

slow pewter
#

ah... I'll dive into the that script then. Thanks @viscid orchid also I think the pem format is maybe what I need? Will give that a go

viscid orchid
#

Just going by that link. I don’t recall exactly what I did

slow pewter
#

@viscid orchid I have the scp -F "/PATH/TO/.ssh/config" "test.txt" remote:"/volume1/backup" working from my laptop, which is using the new "converted" RSA Key style key like yours. so its still must be about how I'm putting that key into the YAML.

viscid orchid
#

ok. I showed you an example from mine

#

you should try it from your HA machine rather than your laptop to eliminate that variable

slow pewter
#

ok... should I login as root?

viscid orchid
#

just open an SSH terminal

slow pewter
#

Also.... my RSA key still has this part at the top that looks diff than yours...

viscid orchid
#

just get scp working and you should be fine

slow pewter
#
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
#

I mean it works on my laptop with that key... so it should be the KEY.... likely just how I'm including in that addon

viscid orchid
#

try it on your HA box

#

that's where you'll be running it, so stop playing with your laptop 🙂

slow pewter
#

Is there something special you need to do to get an addon to pickup changes you make manually to its code? I have hassio-remote-backup in the addons directory and I added some echos for debugging and I'm not seeing them in the logs.

viscid orchid
#

I think I redirected them to a file

#

if you find something that's broken or could be made more robust, let me know

slow pewter
#

@viscid orchid the script itself has echos that ARE making it in the logs. But any changes to the addon I make don't seem to be picked up. Leading me to believe that I need to restart HA or something if I makes changes to addons?

viscid orchid
#

maybe you have to hit "rebuild"

#

just trying to remember back from when I last worked on it

#

seems plausible

slow pewter
#

Yup that was it! Thanks @viscid orchid Do you have a "buy me a beer" or something? I def would be happy to buy you one. Yer saving me a ton of time.

viscid orchid
#

nope, just glad to help

#

so it's working now?

slow pewter
#

oh sorry... not yet... but I can see echos now.... and I noticed that my format above is loosing the empty linebreak on line 4

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

@slow pewter

#

going to try "/n"

viscid orchid
#

you can probably get rid of all that.

#

You have my example to go by, and you can try the scp line yourself with the same key

slow pewter
#

will try that too

viscid orchid
#

there's no magic here 🙂

slow pewter
#

for sure.... but it is pretty painful so far. 😛

viscid orchid
#

fixing it was also a pain. you can go back to last commit there to see what I had to do after an annoying debug session

#

it was long orphaned, and then the base image was removed from Docker Hub, so I had to figure out how to use local addons, and then how to accommodate changes to the environment

slow pewter
#

Ya I diff'ed you copy against upstream. I'm surprised this isnt maintained by someone. Seems like a handy addon.

viscid orchid
#

it's competing against simpler cloud-based solutions

#

I'm happy to pass out my fork, but no warranty implied or provided 🙂

slow pewter
#

🙂 Ya, I'm not a big fan of storing things like this in the cloud.

#

do snapshots backup your secrets.yaml ?

viscid orchid
#

yes, they back up everything

#

it's just a tar file of compressed tar files - you can poke around in there

slow pewter
#

ah great... I really want to backup as much as I can minus source/core code

#

I keep killing SDCards. Need to find a way to bring those back from the dead (lost about 4-5 now) even interested in running HA as docker ON the synology but minimum I'd need to run a slave RPi on the main floor as that one needs to be main floor due to it hosting the ZWave controller which needs to be centerally located.

viscid orchid
#

2 things - a) move to the OZW Beta and just put the daemon on a Pi wherever you want and b) move the data on your Pi to an SSD (simple using datactl)

#

or, you can use Docker on the Synology, but you lose addons, Supervisor, snapshots, etc.

slow pewter
#

great tips, thanks.... will look into those...I HATE SDCards now. 😛

slow pewter
#

ok.... not sure what to try now @viscid orchid I cannot connect using HA same error Load key "/root/.ssh/id": invalid format but when I cat that file on HA and on my laptop they look the exact same.

viscid orchid
#

what scp command are you running on your HA instance?

slow pewter
#

So only thing I can thing of is that maybe HA requires the OpenSSH Private Key type. When I generate a new key on HA its also that OpenSSH format

viscid orchid
#

it's not HA, it's just scp

slow pewter
#

same as one on laptop scp -F "/root/.ssh/config" "test.txt" remote:"/volume1/backup"

#

sorry what I mean is from ssh'ing into HA rpi box

viscid orchid
#

from the ssh addon, I just ran "ssh-keygen" and hit enter a bunch of times, and then typed scp ui-desktop-badge.yaml scp://rcoleman@192.168.1.211/Backup from my config dir. (just got rid of the -F because I wasn't actually specifying a config file and I didn't know what that did)

#

it worked

#

I see. it's creating a config file on the fly and configuring "remote:" as the host you specify in the addon config

#

I didn't write that script, so I'm kinda learning how it works myself

#

if that doesn't work for you, then there's a problem on your Synology

#

BTW, ssh-keygen is creating an "OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY" for me as well, but it works fine once I ssh-copy-id the public key over to the server

slow pewter
#

@viscid orchid right.... but thats the public key... is your private key openSSH in your remote backup config?

viscid orchid
#

can you do exactly what I wrote above?

#

it was really straightforward and worked the first tiem

#

you at least need to be able to make that work, then worry about the addon

slow pewter
#

yup that makes sense.

viscid orchid
#

I should have added an ssh-copy-id rcoleman@192.168.1.211 step in there too

slow pewter
#

reading....trying

#

@viscid orchid "from the ssh addon" do you mean the webui? or ssh'ing in from another device using a user?

viscid orchid
#

the web terminal is one place, or sshing in from somewhere else. doesn't matter

#

and I tried it with both SSH addons

slow pewter
#

k trying ....

  • using my ssh rpi to generate key and then uploading that key to synology with ssh-copy-id then I can try the local test to copy a file
#

when you run keygen, do you run the full ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

viscid orchid
#

I did exactly what I wrote above

slow pewter
#

are you using the default SSH port in Synology? cause I changed mine

viscid orchid
#

yes

#

but you can specify whatever you want

slow pewter
#

right now from ssh addon when running ssh-copy-id dvb@192.168.1.100 I get

/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed

/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
dvb@192.168.1.100's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
viscid orchid
#

did you type your password correctly?

slow pewter
#

yes

viscid orchid
#

ok

#

then you haven't managed to set up ssh properly

#

that's all it's doing

slow pewter
#

but I can ssh into synology just fine from laptop?

viscid orchid
#

🤷

slow pewter
#

lol.... ya me too

viscid orchid
#

get that working and you'll be in a better place

#

just try ssh dvb@192.168.1.100. There's practically no configuration

slow pewter
#

so when I do this from ssh addon ssh dvb@192.168.1.100 -p 24688 I get this...

#
~ $ ssh dvb@192.168.1.100 -p 24688
dvb@192.168.1.100's password: 
dvb@MySynology:~$ 
``` - works
viscid orchid
#

great

slow pewter
#

so ssh on synology does work... and my dvb user password does work

#

but whatever password or port that ssh-copy-id uses is not working

viscid orchid
#

you can just manually put it over there if you want

#

it's just a convenient way to do it

slow pewter
#

sec.....trying

#

port for ssh-copy-id was the issue

#

that copy worked.... now to try scp

viscid orchid
#

did you change the port for a good reason? Seems unnecessarily complicated on your network

slow pewter
#

always change default ports and usernames.... sec habit

#

also a massive pain 😛

#

scp worked!

viscid orchid
#

🎉

slow pewter
#

from ssh addon.... so now I think I'm going to try and copy the private key from on the addon into the config?

viscid orchid
#

sure

slow pewter
#

WITHOUT converting it to RSA... then I will try to convert it to RSA if that don't work

viscid orchid
#

paying attention to the format

slow pewter
#

ya its 100% the config

#

no idea what the issue is though

#

still doest work in the config

#

I just cat'd the key via the ssh addon and then page searched the addon log where I'm cat'ing it in the logs and its IDENTICAL 🤦‍♂️

viscid orchid
#

did you format it according to the example that I provided?

slow pewter
#

yes 100%

#

ok... I don't want to keep bothering... I'm just going to try 1 million things until I run out of ideas. 😛

Hello, I hope I’m in the right channel… I’m encountering a bit of an issue with remote access… I’ve setup DuckDNS and Nginx SSL Proxy, forwarded ports 80 and 443 to the Raspi on my router, wrote the http.base_url setting in configuration.yaml, and it works… only locally. When I try to access my domain from outside the network, it just keeps loading, never succeeding. Chrome on Android just gives me a plain ERR_CONNECTION_RESET, any idea where that could come from?

Thanks in advance, I’m ready to post my configuration files if needed.

#

(one of the issues I have is that the only computer I have access to that is outside my home network is a work computer and its proxy blocks duckdns.org and associated subdomains, so I only have my mobile browsers and the app to test the thing)

what does curl say when you load it from outside?

there is some firewall in the way or your port forwarding misconfigured

Now that you mention it, I just noticed that ping is enabled on my router, I thought it was disabled because I couldn’t ping it previously… you are right there might be something blocking connections between me and the router. I’ll check some settings, thanks for the tip!

@covert arch soo, it turns out that DuckDNS had kept in memory the IPv6 I first entered for my domain, which was only local. I changed it immediately (a few days ago), but the change never propagated apparently… removing the IPv6 from the domain made everything work u_u

I have a super weird issue running a script inside the community ssh add-on. When I run the script from the command line in the ssh add-on, it works just fine. When I trigger it from a HA shell_command, it does not. The issue is that I am parsing the output of ping, and when executed from HA inside the ssh add-on, for some reason the script (run as RESULT=$(ping -q -n -c 10 somehostname.com)) will only ever capture the first line of the output into RESULT where the script run from the command line works just fine.

#

Been scratching my head as to what the cause of this could be!

viscid orchid
#

Different shells, different versions of ping perhaps.

#

You can run a command in the SSH & Web Terminal addon via hassio.addon_stdin as described in the docs

#

Might work better or more predictably

#

There is a ping integration, btw

viscid orchid
#

Perhaps the confusion is that running a command via shell_command does not run it in an addon, it runs in the HA container. So different behavior is entirely possible and expected

polar crest
#

@viscid orchid Sorry, I just noticed your response. The command does run in the addon, as I make it so. I call the exact same shell as a result, and the same version of ping.

#

I don't just ping to see if the host is alive, I use it as an indication of line quality. I send 100 packets to a node on the edge of my ISP network before I exit their network ... historically poor performance on that ping has been a good indication of line quality for me.

polar crest
#

I run RESULT=$(ping -q -n -c $setting_packets $setting_target | grep packet) in the script. When I run the script from an interactive shell through the ssh add-on, this yields the second to last line of the ping output as expected. But when call the script as an option to the ssh command (also into the ssh add-on), I get nothing. Removing the grep, I get the first line of the ping output.

#

the normal /bin/ping works just fine on the command line ... i've resorted to running it on a different linux host for the moment because ... i've already spent too much time trying to fix this script.

I see now why its called smokeping

Hi there! Got a question related to the let's encrypt addon. Is it possible to add a custom DNS provider that supports API calls to dynamically change the _acme-challenge. DNS TXT entries but isn't in the list of supported DNS providers? Im speaking about do.de (https://www.do.de/wiki/LetsEncrypt)

viscid orchid
#

I don't think so. I looked into it and decided it wasn't

#

you'd need to write/acquire your own plugin and you can't do that with the addon

Hello everyone....I am programming my new raspberry with home assistant (hassio). Can anyone tell me if there are solutions to use the "Plex media server" addon using an external hard drive or a network folder as a source for the files ???

#

I've tried this morning but obviously the plex sees only the folders that are on the raspberry SD, I did a lot of research this morning on google but I can't figure out if there is a solution.

covert arch
#

there is a solution, use mount

cunning wolf
#

There's a better solution... don't overload a Pi by running too much stuff on it. I can't imagine Plex's performance will be great.

tight tundra
#

It’s only for stream, do not encoding required

covert arch
#

but it has 4 cores 😥 😉

sly kindle
#

There's an alternative plex add-on that mounts an external drive, but yeah...why put plex on a pi

lavish mirage
#

Depending on media but it might still encode audio though.

cunning wolf
#

Add-ons are great for many things. Plex isn't one of them.

#

If you're running HA on a Pi, I'd suggest sticking to HA-specific addons.

With the default sqlite database if you want to start from scratch if say it was corrupted you'd delete the .db file. Now that I have moved to Mariadb how do I delete the database?

#

I thought recorder.purge service would be the way (and use 0 to delete everything), although that gives me an error in the logs

#
WARNING (Recorder) [homeassistant.components.recorder.purge] Error purging history: (MySQLdb._exceptions.IntegrityError) (1451, 'Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`homeassistant`.`states`, CONSTRAINT `states_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`old_state_id`) REFERENCES `states` (`state_id`))') [SQL: DELETE FROM states WHERE states.last_updated < %s][parameters: (datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 8, 15, 29, 59, tzinfo=<UTC>),)]
sly kindle
#

@pastel tangle to purge it, the most direct way is uninstalling and reinstalling the add-on

#

Uninstall it, check the supervisor > system logs for references to "cleaning" it, then re-install. You can copy your add-on config first, and then paste it in to the new one.

pastel tangle
#

And this should cause any issues that there won't be any database available for a couple of minutes I hope?

sly kindle
#

Nothing major. I've done it before without issue

pastel tangle
#

I just worked out that even though my recorder keep_days is 7 I found entries for a random entity i picked to check almost going back to 2 weeks

#

According to a maria db size sensor I made thouhg it's only 150MB

#

Checking that I also realised the moment I hit on history and choose e.g. a week all deconz devices become unavailable for a few seconds. But I can't work out how that relates though 😅

#

So I did a thorough check through my history and 99% of my entities have a history going back 15 days. Yet my recorder is set to keep 7 days... I'm not surprised clicking on history has been acting up then. But why was it never deleted in the first place? 🤔 🤔

Hello everyone,
I have installed the Node-red add-on in my Home Assistant. The log now shows me these two errors. They also repeat themselves constantly (several times per minute)
What exactly do these mean?
In addition to that it takes a long time until I see the surface of Node-Red after I have selected it in the sidebar (10 minutes)
Is this related to the error code?

I switched to MariaDB via the addon about a month ago. Recently I started getting errors that seem to indicate a corrupted database:

#

Error saving events: Instance <States at 0x7f2af544f3d0> is not present in this Session

#

and other ones that point to Recorder

#

How do I repair the MariaDB database? I can't seem to find info on it. I know with the default Home Assistant DB I could just delete the file

viscid orchid
#

you can open the port in the addon network configuration and then use standard mysql utilities, too

The Plex Media Server add on isn't to link to an already set up plex server (on a different pi), right?

but to host it all on Home Assistant?

yes

Not without building the add-on yourself locally

#

I'm assuming it'll not be as simple as running a docker build ... ?

dark yoke
#

correct

#

But honestly, you should just wait for next version

atomic wharf
#

I'm helping a guy with 75 zwave nodes getting into this... the current version shows covers as lights :/ I don't want him to start naming all his devices to loose them in a few days 😄

Then you should just wait

I'm not sure if you even can go from local to published version later

Uninstall it, check the supervisor > system logs for references to "cleaning" it, then re-install. You can copy your add-on config first, and then paste it in to the new one.
@sly kindle After doing this I've always had to import a saved copy of Database: nginxproxymanager to get that add-on working again.

#

@pastel tangle I don't think recorder.purge service works with MariaDB any longer, I use the add-on phpMyAdmin to empty the events and states tables.

pastel tangle
#

Why would you need to import a saved copy though, and not just let it start from empty?

#

I assumed recorder.purge would work with any database. Otherwise how is keep_days going to work?

#

Saying that actually I had mine set to keep 7 days although I found my history going back 15 days (more or less when I moved to mariadb)

#

It kind of seemed like it was never going to delete anything

tribal sorrel
#

After uninstalling MariaDB and reinstalling I have to import Database: nginxproxymanager to get that add-on working again. The others are fine.

#

That's why I use phpMyAdmin

pastel tangle
#

Ah I see. I don't se nginx so wasn't familiar with that

#

I'll change my keep_days parameter to 1 day to verify if history gets deleted or it keeps building up

tribal sorrel
#

It has been my experience that you'll get that purge error every morning around 4ish

covert arch
#

mysql works fine for me, I don't have purge days set so it's at default
but the DB stays pretty much the same size over time
purge should work with mysql too, the size just doesn't change because mysql reserves the space and reuses it afterwards

tribal sorrel
#

If you repack it should change in size

#

But, I get the purge error every morning 😞

#

nothing gets deleted

covert arch
#

no, mysql repack does not decrease db size directly, mysql keeps the space reserved and fills it again 🤷‍♂️

tribal sorrel
#

I can't confirm or deny that because mine never gets purged.😅

covert arch
#

mine does, thats why i send my data to influxdb

atomic wharf
#

Is there any update schedule or plan for Zigbee2mqtt? The code is already pointing to the new version but the add-on has not been released.

sly kindle
#

@tribal sorrel ah yes. if using npm or bookstack etc you would lose those dbs.

tribal sorrel
#

Maybe @raven tinsel could add those extra columns to the db in the add-on

raven tinsel
#

maybe?

#

what are we talking about?

#

The add-on does not inferrer with content of the database

#

ever

#

and will not do so either

#

that should either be raised as a bug

#

or, in case you are up to that, you can use the phpMyAdmin add-on to adjust the content of the database

tribal sorrel
#

So, has HA updates added extra columns to the db?

pastel tangle
#

I check my log quite often but I never had the error I got during manually trying to purge days. I'll check this and open a issue if it keeps happening

#

then again given that keep_days was set to 7, yet I found entities going back 15 days it would seem keep_days was never active? Even though default is 10 so not sure what really is going on there

tribal sorrel
#

When I run recorder.purge service with keep_days: 0, I get errors about purging history in the logs

covert arch
#

🍿

raven tinsel
#

So, has HA updates added extra columns to the db?
@tribal sorrel Yes, the add-on is only a database server. It doesn't care about the structure or its contents

tribal sorrel
#

If I uninstall MariaDB and reinstall, where does it get the homeassistant database structure?

viscid orchid
#

it's taken care of

Hello everyone! I am trying to make DuckDNS work for me, but it just wont work. And i think the problem is that i have got a wifi extender which acts as a second router and so a second ip adress. For my main router 192.168.2.xxx and for the extender 192.168.68.xxx. i have everything connected to the 68. Somekind of loopback issue, said somebody to me. Anyone has some advice. When i have everything set up i go to mydomain.duckdns.org and then nothing happens so i have to delete the port forwarding (external 443 to internal 8123) and the configuration, in the configuration.yaml
I am running the latest versions of HA and DuckDNS, HA is running on the latest raspberrypi

#

Does anybody has some advice or help? Thanks a lot!

tribal sorrel
#

@harsh hamlet My advice would be try Nginx proxy manager.

#

It made setting up my DuckDNS and Let's Encrypt easy.

#

lol nevermind, I restarted the thermostat.

rotund yoke
#

or, in case you are up to that, you can use the phpMyAdmin add-on to adjust the content of the database
@raven tinsel
Is phpMyAdmin able to access the database of add ons, i.e. grocy?

Noticed that there may be a database issue for the grocy add-on, due to a missing product ID/product group/quantity unit (The source of the error has not yet been identified) and would like to be able to identify the missing data.
Would it also be possible to create a dummy product and replace the missing data via phpmyadmin?

Curious if people still use sweet home 3d to design floorplans for tablet displays or if there's something different now. I do a lot of my drafting and design work on an ipad these days and sweet home 3d won't work on that. Not a big deal if there's an export/import option once I've drafted.

then you should better ask in one of the "installation method" channels

dense spadeBOT
#

Not sure which install you're using? If you have system_health enabled you can check Configuration -> Info, or see the following.

  • If you're using HassOS, flashed an image, or booted a VM with an image you're using #330990055533576204

  • If you installed Linux and then ran a script to install HA and have add-ons then you have #330944238910963714

  • If you're running docker commands or use a Docker manager and have no add-ons then you have #449717345808547842

  • Finally, if you use pip to install or upgrade you have #551864459891703809

Having difficulty chosing an install method? See this blog post for guidance.

Hi, I am installing the Google Assistant SDK add-on, i followed all the steps in the add-ons documentation tab (as that one seems more up to date than the google_assistant integrations page on the website. Everything is going fine, up to point 6. Upload your credentials as google_assistant.json to the "hassio/share" folder, for example by using the Samba add-on. i am not sure where this file should go ... i have a samba share for my config files, where configuration.yaml file resides in the root. I have tried to put the google_assistant.json file in that root, in a subdir share and in nested subdirs hassio/share , but still my addon does not start with this fatal error in the log [15:23:31] FATAL: You need initialize Google Assistant with a client secret JSON!

it's default for the protocol, you have to set it though

then cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub and copy this key to the remote machine (either in the config of the addon or .ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine in general)

you shouldn't need forwarding for that, better try with the ip instead of hostname

Hi all, can anyone assist with the Adguard Home add-on? (I can't get the DoH server-part working. When I activate it, the process seems to listen only on 127.0.0.1

#

What is the difference of "Z-wave" and "OpenZwave"? which one should be used? very confusing

umbral kraken
#

They are both z-wave implementation. The Z-wave one is 'stable'. The OpenZwave is still in beta, but functionally stable. Over time the Z-wave will probably be replaced completely, but that will probably be far in the future.

grizzled quartz
#

Ok thanks!

#

So if you're starting a new implementation it may be best to try OpenZwave first. (saves you the hassle of migrating in the future)

Another thing that I dont get, I disconnected my z-stick and now when I connected it again it became ttyACM1 (before ttyACM0) where do I change the parameter for the z-wave addon?
