Is it actually running? My instance apart form a couple of error messages, generally has very little in the docker logs…as openhab all logs internally.
Ie have a look at your userdata/logs/openhab.log file and there may be a bunch happening there.
As I’m a new user and therefor can’t open a new thread, I will use this thread because I’m having the exact same problem. Please shot me a message if that’s not ok.
I’m trying to run OH2 for a good two weeks now and just can’t get it to start, same issue as in OP.
Basic setup:
Quite new to Unix/Linux
Raspberry Pi 3B+
Latest updates and upgrades
Docker works, Portainer runs (just tested)
I’m trying to get OH2 up and running for a first time as it’s shown on the docker Openhab page with docker run --name openhab --net=host openhab/openhab:2.4.0
For the user part I created the User Openhab: pi:x:1000:1000:,,,:/home/pi:/bin/bash openhab:x:9001:9001::/home/openhab:/sbin/nologin
And the group Openhab openhab:x:9001:pi
I also tried the more complex way in the section “Running from command line” but with the same effect.
The volumes created when running those commonds are available, but unfortunately, openhab.log is initial.
Did you also wait a while (5-10 minutes) for everything to get started?
I also tested the container on a Raspberry Pi 3 running RancherOS some time ago (see issue 161) and it worked well except for it taking a while to load.
Also the Debian containers work better than the Alpine containers. They may be a bit bigger but don’t have performance and native library compatibility issues.
Thanks for the immediate response, maximum I waited was 8 hrs. I just kinda don’t know how long it should take. Container is running, but nothing happens after “Launching the openHAB runtime…”
Maybe I will start a basic setup of the container again and will just check after a day… Thanks.
Thank you for the tips.
When checking with docker volume ls
And going to the mount points, the directories with the files are there, but openhab.log is empty. It was kind of the first thing I checked. I will check again in the evening.
To ease my frustration, I started a unifi container yesterday. It worked flawlessly. So I think docker itself is working.
I will continue tinkering today.
So, I finally got to continue my experiments.
As you were saying, I just had to wait. After a few minutes i could reach the landing page with the initial selection for what kind of installation I want to start with. The log still showed the “Launching the openHAB runtime…” message and I could not see any ports with docker container ls for the openhab container.
I then selected the Demo option as I read, that this is the way to got because it installs some essential stuff and delivers a good base with examples from where it’s easier to start. After some time, it finally showed the basic panel which I did not touch because I had other things to take care of. Now, one hour later my Rasperry is pingable but no other services are working, no html-pages, no SSH. I will wait another while and maybe start a new thread or see what google tells me.
I’m having the same problem. Although using --net=host, I don’t see anything on :8080. This is what the log shows:
❯ docker exec -it 537655c37eaf sh
# tail -F /openhab/logs/openhab.log

The IP addresses look a bit strange. Do I need any kind of network config to make sure those are available on the host?
