Domoticz upcoming beta/release and OpenSSL 3.0

[waltervl]

Docker is not that resource heavy at all. So running Domoticz in a Docker container is no problem.
And if you use docker compose updating all containers can be done in one single command line as indicated on the docker wiki page.

And you can also install 'Dockge' (in a docker compose container of course!) where you can central manage all your docker compose containers, as well as creating them.

As Walter mentioned, docker is not that resource heave at all, it runs almost natively. (not on a mac)

It also keeps your system clean, you can backup/transfer it easily to another machine, and there are no system dependencies.

Setup of a application (if it is Domoticz, pihole, plex or whatever) is done in minutes!

And almost any application has a docker variant and documentation how to setup.

Give it a few hours to train yourself with it, start with compose files first, next use DockGE, try starting simple
Learn how to convert docker command line to docker compose files (you can do this with DockGE as well)
Maybe start with installing DockGE

To install docker compose issue

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

curl -fsSL test.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sh get-docker.sh
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo reboot

Going to buy new SD card and install raspbian os on it.
Domoticz backup folder going to be the Storage outside the docker so I can mount it to my NAS as now I guess.

Hi,
After reading this post i found out i'm on Raspberry OS 11 (Bullseye).
I want to upgrade and found this on raspberrypi.com;

Upgrade your operating system to a new major version
To update the operating system to a new major release on your Raspberry Pi, image a second SD card with the new release. Use a USB SD card reader or network storage to copy files and configuration from your current installation to the new SD card. Then, swap the new SD card into the slot on your Raspberry Pi, and boot.

Is there any way to upgrade from the command promt (and how)?
If it has to be done as described above; do i need to drag all the contents of the old sd card to the new sd card?
If not; what files?

There is an OS update instruction link for RPi in the last sentence of the first post of this topic.

Sure some functions will depend on a related version of OpenSSL.

But plenty of userprograms probably[?] will never touch it.

is a hint possible what kind of functions will certainly need the shift to OpenSSL3.0, and which not?
Or a hint to some description dealing with that aspect?

The thing is Domoticz 2025.1 beta needs openssl3 if you use it or not.... So if you want to use Domoticz 2025.1 beta and later 2025.2 stable you need an OS that has openSSL3 or use a Docker container. It is that simple.

[roblom]

I accidentally pressed update and due to the missing openssl 3 the update failed but now Domoticz won't start anymore.
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 2 model b and if I'm right this isn't able to ruin the required Debian version which includes openssl 3. Is that correct?
If so, is it possible to revert back to the previous Domoticz (and if so, how?) Because I need some time to buy new hardware and install the required Debian version on it.

[waltervl]

Luckily Domoticz creates a full backup when updating so you can restore to the old situation. See the wiki for instructions: https://wiki.domoticz.com/Raspberry_Pi# ... ect_update

@roblom,

Why would you say that you can't use the latest Raspbian? I am sure you had a look here

https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

"All Raspberry Pi models"

And you also followed the link from the first post to update your system?

[roblom]

Please note that I'm no programmer and only have basic skills regarding this. So the page from the link on the first post here does look far from easy for me.

I thought that the RPi 2b had an ARM processor that only support a Debian version that was to old to work with Domoticz. But looking at your reaction it seems that's incorrect.

So update everything seems the way to go but for me this takes days and a lot of help to finish. That's why I'm interested in a way to install the previous version of Domoticz so my solar generation logging is working again and I can plan and prepare the update.
