Dashticz V3 - Automatic installation

[Lokonli]

In fact the make stop and make start commands are not needed (if your docker image is running correctly): git pull is sufficient.

The file version.txt in the Dashticz folder shows the vetsion number.

Thanks it works,

How are you settings the colours of your datasets? How many datasets are there in the graph? I ask because a single device can provide more than one dataset.

For example, my wind sensor will show 2 datasets in the graph. To provide a colour and a name for each dataset, I configure the graph block as follows:

Code: Select all

blocks['graph_73'] = {
    graph: 'bar',
    datasetColors: ['yellow', 'green'],
    legend: {
      'gu': 'Gust',
      'sp': 'Speed'
    }
}

Its for gas usage so only one i think

[clinkadink]

To check, if you put legend: true in your graph block, you will see how many datasets there are in your legend.

1 off topic question. What is the positive reason to use Docker? I read its because of containers. But why. Just install is the same right?

Strange that nobody answered this question from months ago... I'd like to know too. Why is this installed in a Docker container? Can't it be made optional? I have to look into it in more detail, but I guess you could install it by yourself on a bare Raspbian install without Docker.

Of course you can do manual install as well, as described in the documentation.

However, some people had difficulties setting up Apache with PHP. In that case the automatic install might help.

The github link shown at the start of this topic didn't work for me, although it came back later.
But the one shown here does.

I Installed it on a separate pi already running a dockerized node-red. It was amazingly easy to get going, considering that it would have been a complicated install otherwise. Thanks for all your hard work.
Now to play....

[Lokonli]

Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the link in the first post.

Hi guys!

I used the automatic install, very usefull and creating a standard.
Good initiative!

I installed it on a raspberry pi 3b+
First try i get this error:

Code: Select all

Let's install docker first
wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

Error during Make. Exiting
Connection to raspberrypi closed.

A google hit says: Just reboot the Pi, so i did and after that dockerd was running without any problem.
I started the installation again and this time succesfully!

I now get a 404, will take a look but i guess that's a problem on my side

Thumbs up for the installation!


** edit **
Just solved! I opened <ip>:8082/dashticz/index.html that gives the 404.
Just simply <ip>:8082 is enough.

Hello,

have just installed Dashticz, when I go to the web page it returns me "Error", configuration file it's correct and also docker is running, any help?

Are you sure the config.xml is OK?

Oops! I should read more carefully!

Are you sure the config.xml is OK?

You mean the config.js file? Yes, this is the config.js file:
I got only an error during the setup:

[Lokonli]

user_name and pass_word need to be without the '<' and '>' symbols.

[Sjonnie2017]

Config.js indeed! I modified my Dashticz dashboards some time ago so I forgot the extension (and was too lazy to check before posting )

I can't remember I had this error when I installed Dashticz on my Pi. But from what I read here (https://peppe8o.com/install-home-assist ... th-docker/) it does not have to be a problem (I am extrapolating.. I know).

What happens if you follow this guide: https://dashticz.readthedocs.io/en/mast ... board.html. It will only show your favorites from Domoticz but at least it is a start to see if the installation is OK. Just mark out the username and password lines and see what happens.

[Sjonnie2017]

And Lokonli beat me to it

[fabry91]

user_name and pass_word need to be without the '<' and '>' symbols.

It was just that! Yeeee, thanks Lokonli
