Docker installation Blockly does not work at all

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

  • Platform information:

    • Hardware: QNAP NAS _
    • OS: QNAP App Container Station
    • openHAB version: 4.3.0

  • Issue of the topic:
    No matter which easiest examples from Tutorials in Youtube I copied absolutely no R/W access to Items

Concerning installation documentation part “before using blockly in openHAB” only deals in accessing folders via Samba.

The docker installation followed some tutorials without any changes
:frowning:

2

Did you install JS Scripting Addon ?

3

Do you have write access to the folders outside of your docker container?
Try opening Terminal session, start a new bash and try:

root@openhab4:/openhab# test > /openhab/conf/test.txt

Can you see the test.txt in “conf” folder on your NAS?

4

And, btw, what do you mean with “blockly does not work at all”?
I wonder if your probleme is blockly-related.
If you go to any item, e.g. take any light switch, can you switch it on or off and does it have an effect?
What do the logs say if you switch the item?

5

All other functions of OH work correct.
Otherwise I would not have stated blockly does not work.

I cancel running OH as docker installation, go back to raspi.
Runtime in Docker collapsed nearly daily.

6

I followed the documentation for Docker Installation.
Now the experts ask me for details documentation never mentionend.

I cancel the Docker installation and go back to raspi.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bemühungen.

Gerne :wink:

I am running OH in containers on Synology NAS - it is working smooth and upgrades are done easily. For me it’s worth to learn how to do it.
Unfortunately I cannot help with QNAP - I don’t have one.

Meanwhile I have moved back to raspi5 hardware.
First time starting the blockly editor a message for missing JS-Script appeard. After installation blockly runs OK.
Maybe I did not notice the same message running docker installation.
I am not sure if the documentation describes the need for JS-Script.

Blockly documentation includes many hints for this dependeny. One of the prominent places is the guide for migration of blockly rulen when upgrading from oh3 to oh4.
