[enry86cami]

Solved, I only need to insert my MQTT account on the webpage also....
 
Next step... Understad how switch on/off the light with my home mini...

Ryan,
 
Noticing a few docker images which I am guessing are related to the OmnilinkBridge.

How can I delete these images?
 
I am not sure when I installed the mono repository.  I cannot remove this one too.
 
Any suggestions?

 

[grantlewis]

Pete, if you're not averse to a GUI, Portainer is amazing: https://www.portainer.io/ Makes it really easy to manage all the containers running on your system.

 

[pete_c]

Thank you Grant.  
 
Yes have Portainer installed except that I can only start it manually. 
 
I am not running HASSIO here rather manually installed HA in docker.  
 
Still have straggler docker containers that I cannot remove via CLI or Portainer

Got rid of the TasUI instances.
 
Still seeing unlabeled images that I cannot remove.

[grantlewis]

Have you tried the docker prune command? https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/system_prune/

 

[pete_c]

Not yet.  Will give it a try.
 
Today installed HASSIO on a new server running Ubuntu 20.X.
 
Had a bit of an issue installing HACS on it.
 
This is my second HASSIO installation.  This one is on a new Intel CPU with 32Gb of RAM.
 
It is also running a Windows 7 instance in Oracle Virtual box.
 
Installed HASSIO on a Pine64 in House #2.
 
House #2 is using a Ring Alarm system (ring to MQTT) and all Wifi (Tasmota / Espurna switches) and the Alexa Media Plugin for HA. (for TTS)
 
Both of these installations were done manually using the HASSIO script.
 
Next steps now are installation of Portainer and the OmniLinkBridge plugin.

Hi Pete_c, tigers and grantlewis
I'm trying to follow grantlewis post suggestion here here by running JuanMTech's tutorial BUT I tried to do it on a Raspi 4 B 4gb with Raspi imager of Ubuntu Server 20.10 x64 flashed to SD.
I'm guessing it just won't work. I get to the point of installing docker with command

apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
and terminal says all I can install is docker or docker.io. I tried just docker and nothing happened, and docker.io and it installed something. However, never able to run docker run hello-world, so I get lost somewhere along the way.
EDIT: Tried to use Ubuntu server 20.10 32-bit armhf on raspi and the specific error I get which is the same as the last time is the following to the above entered command.

E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package docker-ce-cli
E: Unable to locate package containerd.io
 
 
 
1. Can I even do this install Hass.io over Ubuntu Server 20.10 x64 for arm64 on a Raspi 4?
2. Can/should I try Ubuntu 20.10 desktop OS 64bit?
3. Should I go back and do this more of in tigers fashion as explained in this post here?
 
Pete_c, I see you said you helped others remotely before, wondering if that is something you would consider for me. Or anyone for that matter.

 

[tigers]

I can't help you much because if I remember correctly when I installed Home Assistant the manual docker install was deprecated. I couldn't install HASS.IO directly because I couldn't install mono and get OmniLinkBridge to run. So I went with the Home Assistant Core installation.
That being said, I can tell you that:
 32 bit version should be just fine even if the Raspi has a 64 bit processor (at the time the 64 bit Raspbian was still in beta and being a novice I needed something well documented and supported;
I'd do the same in your case: if you don't have a specific need chose a distro that is well documented for Home Assistant installation, and I'd say that the Raspbian (or what they call it now) is one of the favourite, and I didn't miss anything in using it with Home Assistant.
Find a good giude for the install  (there are many even for docker) and it should guide you to the startup of the system.

 

[paullyboy83]

I got the 32bit raspbian or whatever they currently call it installed.
I got docker installed on that.
Then portainer
I think I got Mosquitto installed
I got HA core on and logged in, but now this is something I have never seen before. No access to configuration.yaml???
Can someone help me here and I have no Linux or command line expertise. I've google'd around with no avail. Is there a way to get config back into HA core dash? This is the way I'm most familiar with. This has been a huge challenge. I've never used HA Core before and let alone pretty novice with HASSio. Really wish I just had Hassio back.

I tried to get mosquitto and Omnilinkbridge going but I'm not at the install site where the OmniPro2 is, so I didn't want to try and remote in and screw up something while the system is armed. Could I remote in if I put in the IP and port I use for PC Access that works?
 

 
 
EDIT
Okay i got Homekit setup code in HA core by editing Config file in CLI. Unreal. Took me about 10 min to figure out how to save and quite a 8 line entry. 
Next issue, when I reboot the Rpi, Mosquitto and Home Assitant didn't autoboot. I had to start them from portainer. Can someone guide me on what to do to get them to autostart on rpi reboot?

 

[grantlewis]

@paullyboy83
 
Backtracking for just a moment: did you install Home Assistant in Docker the "approved" way? If not, your path forward will be a lot easier if you just start over.
 
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/docker/
 
After that, you'll want to set up Samba Share so that you can access the pi's filesystem over your network. Then you can open/edit/save files on the pi (including configuration.yaml) from a networked computer using your favorite text editor.
 

 
Check this out: https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/haos_common_tasks/
 
You say "I think I got Mosquitto installed." In addition to the Supervisor | Add-on Store method described in the link above for installing Samba Share, you can (should) add additional integrations via Configuration | Integrations. I think most people use MQTT: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt/ That's what I use. When additional integrations are installed using one of these two methods, you just make a few configuration changes -- often via the Home Assistant GUI, sometimes in configuration.yaml. You'll find that things will work pretty much out-of-the-box.
 
When installed via Home Assistant, Add-on Store additions or Integrations requiring a Docker container will create those containers automatically. I understand there's supposed to be a way to do add OmniLinkBridge via the HA GUI, but I've never tried it -- I just installed it per Ryan's Docker Hub Quickstart. Of the 16 Docker containers running on my system, these are the only ones I created manually:
 
homeassistant
portainer
omnilink-bridge

I know all of this is confusing at first, but you'll get your legs in no time. Stick with it. I'm testament to the fact that it's not the smartest people who succeed; it's those who are the most stubborn.
 
Hang in there!

 

[pete_c]

Good news @Paullyboy83!!
 
Check out the Alexia Media Player plugin too.

 

[paullyboy83]

@grantlewis
First of all appreciate the "hang in there." I'm suprised how use to HassIO I became and why anyone would use something else. The qty of CLI and non-native to get HA core going was a beast. Now to answer your questions

did you install Home Assistant in Docker the "approved" way? If not, your path forward will be a lot easier if you just start over.
 
https://www.home-ass...llation/docker/

Yes
 

Check this out: https://www.home-ass...s_common_tasks/

None of this works as I don't have supervisor and why I'm so frustrated. There is no add ons available within the HA gui.
 

After that, you'll want to set up Samba Share so that you can access the pi's filesystem over your network.

Yeah, well this is where my novice moves get me in the weeds. Since there isn't supervisor in HA core install, I go back to the terminal and just copy and paste from tutorials. I tried a few, but I used this tutorial and I can now see it on "finder" (mac).

 

When installed via Home Assistant, Add-on Store additions or Integrations requiring a Docker container will create those containers automatically.

How do I install anything via Home Assistant when running HA Core? I'm so used to Hassio, everything is just there and works.
 

In addition to the Supervisor | Add-on Store method described in the link above for installing Samba Share, you can (should) add additional integrations via Configuration | Integrations. I think most people use MQTT: https://www.home-ass...egrations/mqtt/ That's what I use. When additional integrations are installed using one of these two methods, you just make a few configuration changes -- often via the Home Assistant GUI, sometimes in configuration.yaml. You'll find that things will work pretty much out-of-the-box.

Well I have no idea what I've done wrong or if you are running HASSIO, but I don't have a supervisor with the install tutorial that is described in the above link https://www.home-ass...llation/docker/
 
 
Also, HA Core is not auto starting, nor is mosquitto, just portainer and omnilinkbridge. If someone can copy and paste whatever I need to put into CLI which is driving me nuts it would be appreciated.
 
Lastly, do any mods know why this thread is in "marketplace" vs "Home Automation". Tried to navigate back to this page on a different computer and noticed it was under marketplace. I feel like nothing is for sale here.

 

[grantlewis]

If you're not seeing the standard Home Assistant interface when you browse to http://<ip_of_your_raspberry>:8123/ then something is drastically wrong. Installation should be very simple, very straightforward.
 
If that's not the case, then I'd start again from square one.

 

[paullyboy83]

@grantlewis
 
Definitely seeing it, but there is no supervisor/add on store, etc (within configuration or developer tools) to my understanding with HA Core install as mentioned in this supported tutorial.
I think supervisor is only packaged into a HASSIO install, no?
Totally happy to start over if there is a way to get omnilinkbridge and Hassio going on 1 rpi, and make it so I can see and run HASSIO, I think I would be a happy camper.
