Wrong installation isntructions
Posted: Thursday 25 September 2025 17:40
Hi because myscontroller is oneman show and full of bugs and egeoffrey dead I test domoticz.
Unfortunately this was short... did someone ever install this under ubuntu?
The install instructions are not up to date - https://wiki.domoticz.com/Linux .
assume ubuntu 25.04 on amd64.
- the instructions say
Ubuntu installation in terminal:
sudo bash -c "$(curl -sSfL https://install.domoticz.com)"
:::
::: You are root.
bash: line 108: test: /etc/os-release:25.04: integer expression expected
::: Verifying free disk space...
:::
::: Checking apt-get for upgraded packages.... done!
:::
::: Your system is up to date! Continuing with Domoticz installation...
::: Checking for apt-utils... installed!
::: Checking for whiptail... installed!
::: Checking for git... installed!
::: Checking for curl... installed!
::: Checking for unzip... installed!
::: Checking for wget... installed!
::: Checking for sudo... installed!
::: Checking for cron... installed!
::: Checking for libudev-dev... installed!
::: Checking for libssl1.1...
This is the end.
Installed? No...
sudo service domoticz.sh start
Failed to start domoticz.service: Unit domoticz.service not found.
honza@u2504:~$ find /usr -name "*domoticz*"

./domoticz_linux_x86_64.tgz
I have to ask did someone test the script?
