How?

#

docker run?

#

Compose file?

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 2:31 PM

#

docker run

brazen compass Feb 5, 2024, 2:31 PM

#

Did you check that Ubuntu's firewall is disabled?

#

Great, share the run command

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

brazen compass Did you check that Ubuntu's firewall is disabled?

I'm figuring out how to do that right now. Am new to linux.
This is the command I used:

docker run -d --name homeassistant --privileged --restart=unless-stopped -e TZ=Asia/Kolkata -v /home/raj/homeassistant:/config -v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro --network=host ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable

@hollow dawn When using Discord's Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, which can get frustrating for the target. Use Shift + click on the Reply option, or click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).

Ok, so host networking is correct

#

Either the container isn't running, or Ubuntu is being Ubuntu again

#

Running HAOS as a VM on Windows may better suit you

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 2:37 PM

#

brazen compass Running HAOS as a VM on Windows may better suit you

But running it on virtualbox doesn't support wifi which is why I'm trying out this docker thing.

#

Any way to run it on wifi/

#

?

brazen compass Feb 5, 2024, 2:40 PM

#

Please... I asked already... turn of the damn ping @hollow dawn

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 2:41 PM

#

Sorry... I didn't know about this....

brazen compass Feb 5, 2024, 2:41 PM

#

hollow dawn Any way to run it on wifi/

Servers don't run on WiFi, and that's a Windows problem

#

#1204071393621188688 message

#

That's why I sent you that... which you ignored 😉

#

You need to sort out the Ubuntu firewall crap

#

Sadly I can't help with that as I won't run Ubuntu

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 2:42 PM

#

ubuntu firewall is inactive as per sudo ufw status

brazen compass Feb 5, 2024, 2:42 PM

#

I just know from many posts here that it does stupid stuff

#

Check the HA log file/container status

#

Make sure HA is running

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 2:45 PM

#

brazen compass I just know from many posts here that it does stupid stuff

If I install HAOS will it run on wifi or will the no ethernet be a problem?

brazen compass Feb 5, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

The VM doesn't know or care about wifi

#

if you replace the OS with HAOS then that can use WiFi - if the hardware is supported

#

it's just a bad idea

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 2:49 PM

#

ok

#

the HA log files are blank...

brazen compass Feb 5, 2024, 2:50 PM

#

What about the container logs?

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 2:52 PM

#

Where do I find those?

brazen compass Feb 5, 2024, 2:52 PM

#

docker logs NAME_OF_CONTAINER

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 3:02 PM

#

Ok I think I'm going to give it a shot with vmware workstation and if wifi works with that, I'll just go with that otherwise a raspberry pi or something.
THanks

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

brazen compass `docker logs NAME_OF_CONTAINER`

Ok so I ended up installing haos on my old laptop and I can reach the url via a browser on my other laptop.
But the problem now is that, nothing is showing up in the addon store.......

#

Would you happen to know anything about this?

brazen compass Feb 5, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

#add-ons-archived can help there

#

I don't use HAOS, or add-ons

hollow dawn Feb 5, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

ok thanks

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 7:38 AM

#

brazen compass I don't use HAOS, or add-ons

Just out of curiosity, what do you use?

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

Container (Docker) all the way

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

On linux I'm guessing?
If so what distro?

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

Debian

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

ok Thanks

#

Is it user friendly for beginners?

#

Debian

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 8:00 AM

#

Without knowing how much of a beginner to any form of Linux you are ... yes/no/maybe

#

As long as you have some Linux experience it's just another distro

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 8:00 AM

#

haha ya I guess that makes sense

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

Turns out the mistake in my docker command was that I hadn't included this argument:
-p 8123:8123

#

But now it runs and keeps on exiting

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 2:56 PM

#

Well, you don't need or want that

#

There's a reason the docs don't show that 😉

#

You have to use host networking (which only works on Linux)

#

And if it's exiting you've got logs... look at them 😉

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 3:01 PM

#

Where do I put host networking in this command?

docker run -d --name homeassistant --privileged --restart=unless-stopped -e TZ=Asia/Kolkata -v /home/raj/homeassistant:/config -v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro --network=host ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 3:03 PM

#

You already have

#

--network=host

#

Though you really should move to compose

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

I don't know what compose it I'll have to figure that out

#

What are the benefits of moving to compose?

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

You get a YAML file that describes the container definition

#

You can back that up, and making changes is easier than remembering what else you had on the command line 6 months ago

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

Do you use this url?
http://homeassistant.local:8123/

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 3:22 PM

#

No, that only works for HAOS

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

So what url do use to access the container ha?

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

Have you read https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#install-home-assistant-container?

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

I tried http://<ip-address>:8123/ but that doesn't seem to be working

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 3:27 PM

#

Well, that's what you use

#

Check the container is running
Check the container logs
Check the HA log file in the config folder

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

These are the container logs:

2024-02-06 20:50:32 s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner: starting
2024-02-06 20:50:32 s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner successfully started

2024-02-06 20:50:32 s6-rc: info: service legacy-services successfully started

#

Where can I find the config folder?

brazen compass Feb 6, 2024, 3:34 PM

#

-v /home/raj/homeassistant:/config

hollow dawn Feb 6, 2024, 3:38 PM

#

There are a few home-assistant.log files in my homeassistant folder but they are all empty

#

There is no config folder as such in the homeassistant folder

#

only a configuration.yaml

wide bladeBOT Feb 6, 2024, 3:40 PM

If you're having problems with your updates to your configuration:

Check the troubleshooting steps
Check your log file - remembering you may need to set logger to info or debug
Explain what the problem you're having is - sharing configuration, errors, and logs
