Failed installing addons

Add-ons Bindings
1

Dear all,
I am suffering the issue that no binding can be installed.
I read through all threads, nothing helped unfortunately.

Done so far:
Deleted addons.config in /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab
addons.cfg in /etc/openhab2/services stripped down to:


package = expert

remote = true

legacy = true


ui = basic,paper



transformation = map,jsonpath

Cleared cache while restarting.

Message remaining:

Stripped down addons.cfg even fruther to

package = expert

remote = true

legacy = true


ui = paper

I am really lost :frowning:

Please download the openHAB2-addons.kar file and put it into your addons folder.
Set remote = false in your addons.cfg and you should be fine again.
Due to the shutdown of bintray service, remote downloading of single addons is no longer possible for openHAB 2.5.x

5

Thanks for your reply HJM,

apologies but I seem to be stupid. Could you point out the download location of that file?

6

Found it. Will give that a try.

7

Phew, back on track. Thanks a log again. Marked as solution.

8

Dear Ben, I suffer the same issue but I can’t find that openHAB2-addons.kar file. Can you help me?

9

Where can the openHAB2-addons.kar be downloaded from. This is not obvious. Not on github. In a simple search on jFrog, nothing comes up.

10

I found them.
https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/libs-release-local/org/openhab/distro/openhab-addons/2.5.12/openhab-addons-2.5.12.kar
and
https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/libs-release-local/org/openhab/distro/openhab-addons/3.0.2/openhab-addons-3.0.2.kar

11

Where did you find the .kar file?
Thanks

12

Nevermind, I should have read further down.

13

I just upgraded from 2.5.11 to 2.5.12 today and had the same problem as a above after having edited my APT configuration files to point to artifactory.

I’m running on RasPi with fully up to date OS.

I followed the instructions above and resolved most of the errors in the logs. However I did see this:

and unsurprisingly MQTT integration to mosquitto is not working.
I tried installing via PaperUI and I get this:

Joy oh joy. Changed the package, remote, and legacy lines. *.kar in /etc/openhab2/addons, restart OH. Disabled remote and legacy in PaperUI. Get Failed installing ‘openhab-package-expert’ in the log and can’t install any new bindings. I’m not ready to jump into 3.x yet. I don’t have a weekend to spare.

15

You can fix this by switching the package to either standard or minimal.

/etc/openhab/services/addons.cfg

# The installation package of this openHAB instance
# Note: This is only regarded at the VERY FIRST START of openHAB
# Note: If you want to specify your add-ons yourself through entries below, set the package to "minimal"
# as otherwise your definition might be in conflict with what the installation package defines.
#
# Valid options:
#   - standard : Standard setup for normal use of openHAB with persistence (rrd4j) and additional UI add-ons (basic,habpanel).
#   - minimal  : Installation of core components without additional add-ons.
#
package = standard

/var/lib/openhab/config/org/openhab/addons.config

:org.apache.felix.configadmin.revision:=L"2"
package="standard"
persistence="rrd4j"
service.pid="org.openhab.addons"
ui="basic,habpanel"
16

Got it! Copied the file to the wrong location. Had to go in /usr/share/openhab2/addons, NOT in /etc/openhab2/addons.

17

Sorry, but the name that I need to copy in the /usr/share/openhab2/addons/ is openhab2-addons.kar or openhab-addons-2.5.12.kar or what?

After to be set remote =false in
/etc/openhab2/services/addons.cfg

and to clean the cache

I keep getting the following error:

Thanks @Wolfgang_S but the problem remain.

it still looks like OH tries to download the bindings from the mvn repository.
Sure that you set remote = false in /etc/openhab2/services/addons.cfg. Please also check for the spaces.
