CLuaHandler: cannot open watermeter.lua: No such file or directory

CLuaHandler: cannot open /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers/watermeter.lua: No such file or directory
But the file is in /opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua/watermeter.lua
I have made the location and file available, but no result. That why I need it through MQTT

If you are running from docker: check your volumes. You probably have to make an extra link to /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts (but I am no docker expert....)

Code: Select all
volumes:
- ./config:/opt/domoticz/userdata
- ./config/www/templates:/opt/domoticz/www/templates
works here ...
what I put in ./config/scripts/lua appears in /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua

I think i understand ...
I put the line in the config file, added the script in /opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua/watermeter.lua
and restarted, but I still get: CLuaHandler: cannot open /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers/watermeter.lua: No such file or directory

you should put it in
/opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua_parsers/watermeter.lua
You can check what happens if you login to the container with
and list the contents of folder /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers
Code: Select all
ls -l /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers

hmm,
my directory has a different name ...
Code: Select all
root@domoticz2:~# docker exec -it domoticz bash
root@domoticz:/opt/domoticz# ls -l /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua/
total 132

The point is that I don't have that directory, and if I make it it doesn't work!
/opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua_parsers/watermeter.lua
/opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua/watermeter.lua: this directory is made by the system : same problem as @eddieb
I don't know what you mean with getting direct entrance to the directory .....

And what if you create it from within the container?

hjz@debian:/opt/stacks/domoticz$docker exec -it domoticz
docker: 'docker exec' requires at least 2 arguments
Usage: docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]
See 'docker exec --help' for more information
I did it from the docker directory, but it is asking for more arguments?

I had to use: sudo docker exec -it domoticz bash
i was within the docker: root@355aab15c8a9
ls -l /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers : response was "No such file or directory"
I then made the directory lua_parsers and copied the file into it.
Ran domoticz and it worked!!
I got domoticz-solaredge also working that way! Good learning point!

You have to be aware you have to do this everytime you update the Domoticz Docker image!

Thanks for the heads up.
I've now edited most of the plugins within the docker file, I don't know if that's the way, but it got domoticz-solaredge started up.
