Installing domoticz on Freenas

[iguaan]

Have anyone successfully installed/built latest domoticz 2020 to Freenas or Freebsd 11.3?
Maybe some tips what's different from previous domoticz installs.

These are outdated guides.
They won't work for domoticz v2020.
They are missing dependencies, even if i install them, the build will fail at the end. It was at about 98, 99%

Sorry, for that. I do not run Domoticz in a TrueNAS (FreeNAS) jail, so it has not been tested.

I assume, you have also seen this Wiki.

I didn't test it either. But you can try, I think you need a FreeBSD package, so that you can simple install it with:

Code: Select all

pkg install Domoticz

[Edit] Seems to be there: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_ ... ?id=245007

I tried it, but it did not run.

Well gave it another try today and it worked like a charm:

* iocage create -n "domoticz" -r 11.3-RELEASE ip4_addr="your_interface_name|your_ip_address/24" defaultrouter="your_gateway" vnet="off" allow_raw_sockets="1" boot="on"
* iocage exec domoticz
* pkg update && pkg upgrade //although pkg was for freebsd 11.4 (running kernel: 1103000)
* pkg install domoticz
* cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
* ee domoticz
edit-> : ${domoticz_enable:=YES}
test-> * ./domoticz
open url-> your_ip_address:8080

v2020.2
Guess the pi3 is going back to drawer as a backup device.

Hi @iguaan

I will give it another try tomorrow, but I do not think it will replace my Raspberry Pi, as the Pi is at a complete different place in my house as my TrueNAS (formely FreeNAS) server and it also controls theP1 smart meter and RFXCom.

I keep you informed.

Hi @iguaan

I can confirm that I have Domoticz running in TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) 12 jail.
Actually I had it already successfully installed yesterday, however I did not start it correctly.

Like you said it was easy, but I did it in a somewhat different way.

Step 1.
Create the jail in the TrueNAS Gui. I called it Domoticz

Step 2.
Go to the Shell. You will be greeted by:

The first item, I configured were the "Motherboard Sensors".

Only one is available and that is Memory Usage with a negative value of -1%.
It gives also an error on the https port. But that is not so difficult to solve.

Also it does not give you the version number (except 2020.2), but I assume it is the most recent.
