Custom Icons and themes in Docker

[solarboy]

I am experimenting with moving over to Docker following the guide here

https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Docker

I have it up and running and have managed to upload my old database using the built in function and I have copied over my "Scripts" and "Plugins" folders which are now both available in Domoticz.

However I can't seem to work out how to transfer my custom icons over (and have them available if the container updates).

Is this possible ?

As mentioned in your other posting you should have a userdata folder.

As mentioned in your other posting you should have a userdata folder.

I have no userdata folder in the Docker folder (/opt/domoticz) or in my old install directory on RpiOS. Should I create one and where do I pull the themes and icon files from ?

There is a folder called "www" that appears to have themes folders and images in it but this does not exist in the Docker folder.

[solarboy]

A config folder was created and within that a "Plugins" folder and a "Scripts" folder and a "Config" folder were created, but no "userdata" folder.

[solarboy]

Code: Select all

root@domoticz2:/opt/domoticz/config# ls
domocookie.txt  domoticz.db  domoticz.db-shm  domoticz.db-wal  plugins  scripts
root@domoticz2:/opt/domoticz/config#

Code: Select all

root@domoticz2:/opt/domoticz# ls
config  docker-compose.yml

Either my Docker container wasn't correctly created or there is some missing information.

Same with me no user data folder, in the docker compose there’s a rule with /opt/domoticz/userdata.

[Kedi]

The /opt/domoticz/userdata is internal in the container and should be external in the config folder.

[solarboy]

The /opt/domoticz/userdata is internal in the container and should be external in the config folder.

So I should manually create within the external config folder a new folder called userdata ( /opt/domoticz/config/userdata/ ) and this will be mirrored within the container as /op/domoticz/userdata ?

[Kedi]

No!
In the container Domoticz is installed in /opt/domoticz
In that foler in the container is a folder userdata created (by Domoticz) that is exposed to the outside world in the ./config folder.
That ./config folder is below the folder in which the compose file is when you startup the Domoticz container with the compose command.

[solarboy]

Thanks for that. Domoticz did not create a "userdata" folder in my "Config" folder on the host system.

Code: Select all

admin@domoticz2:/opt/domoticz/config $ ls
domocookie.txt  domoticz.db-shm  domoticz.log  scripts
domoticz.db     domoticz.db-wal  plugins

Do I create it myself in that case ?

Which files/folders should I copy over to enable my themes/custom icons in the new Docker install ?

Where should I copy them to ?

In the new Docker domoticz, although there is the setting to change theme, it does nothing, is this normal ?

[Kedi]

Your setup look good (best to use next time ls -al)
Those other files are in the Domoticz 'www' folder and that is default NOT exposed to the outside world.

Do you use the official domoticz docker image or another ( there are more images available)? https://hub.docker.com/r/domoticz/domoticz

[solarboy]

I am following the instructions from this page.

Code: Select all

https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Docker

My docker-compose.yml currently is

Code: Select all

version: '3.3'

services:
  domoticz:
    image: domoticz/domoticz:2023.2
    container_name: domoticz
    restart: unless-stopped
    # Pass devices to container
    # devices:
    #   - "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00-port0:/dev/ttyACM0"
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./config:/opt/domoticz/userdata
      - /var/sbfspot:/var/sbfspot
      - /etc/sbfspot:/etc/sbfspot
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Lisbon
      - LOG_PATH=/opt/domoticz/userdata/domoticz.log

Custom icons are INSIDE the database, so when you restore your database, these icons are also here.
No need to do anything special.

Thanks for this, however on restoring my database (which should therefore have the old icons) the icons don't appear in the floorplan etc. If I try to change icons individually the custom icons don't appear on the dropdown list.Themes are also unavailable.

[gizmocuz]

Theme's is something else than custom icons.
When you go to the custom icon loader in domoticz, you do not see your custom icons?
That is really odd... they should be there
What happens when you load a new custom icon?
Edit, check also with the default theme

[solarboy]

Correct, no Custom Icons there and only default theme available despite the other themes being there.

This was a brand new official docker image that I then "restored" a "backed-up" database into, both being 2023.2 and using the in-built function.

[solarboy]

Oh it's solved thank you.

I uploaded a new Icon with the Custom Icon Uploader, the moment I hit "upload" all the other icons appeared in the window and were available for the floor-plans etc etc.

Thanks again ! Now to get the themes going. I tried changing to other themes but it's always the default theme.

[kimhav]

Based on the default volument mounting, ./config:/opt/domoticz/userdata and I've pulled themse down from Git to themes to ./config/www/styles but neither of the templates (aurora and machinon) that I've tried shows up under Settings/Theme option.

Also, beside the above volume, I also have - ./config/www/templates:/opt/domoticz/www/templates due to custom tab issues (ref. to this thread) but it might be general fixed so that this volume isn't needed in later releases?

[red59]

hello,

same behaviour for me, to get custom icons back after a database restore, i need to do as if i wanted to upload new icons, because they don't appear without this.
