openHABian hassle-free openHAB Setup

Node RED install is now working flawlessly! Thank you!

Hi Elias!

It has been a while since I tried to change passwords. I finally did it via the terminal. But if I’m remembering correctly it was the systempassword, openhab and samba.

The password length was around 10-14 characters long. The password had similar format as this: AlfaABC5!

Hope this helps!

Hello there & thanks for all the hard work on openHABian!

I just wanted to leave some feedback on how my install went yesterday on a fresh minimal Debian Strech netinstall in a VM. I leaned on the documentation from https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/openhabian.html .

1: You need to have a user for openhab to run as already when you run the install script, it is the first question i got asked. So, stop the installer, adduser openhab, and restart the installer…

2: The documentation also starts off with sudo’ing. On a bare debian install there is no sudo… (okay, i’ll give you that, it is minor issue)

3: installing influx and grafana did not work due to the installer pulling an arm-Architecture Package on a amd64-Architeture machine.

the rest seems to have gone swimmingly… i will post more feedback if there is interest. should this have gone in a new topic, or is it fine here?

many thanks & best regards, merry xmas!

Thanks for creating this script.

I’ve just used it to configure an ODroid C2 running Ubuntu, using the root user.

Other than tweaking the Samba users names, it all works really well.

I just need to work out how to use…

Node-Red
Influxdb
Grafana

Hi all,

after a HD-crash i installed a fresh openhabian on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
When i install FireMotD form the openhabian-config, and try an ssh login i get:

2018-12-26 01:15:32,022: FireMotD: Info: No FireMotD ExportFile detected. Please generate with "sudo .\FireMotD -S"

i gave it a second try with the openhabian-config and noticed this message after leaving openhabian-config

$ bash /opt/FireMotD/FireMotD -S
2018-12-26 01:18:04,378: FireMotD: Error: Template folder doesn't exist. Upgrading from an older version? Please run make again or run the install function "FireMotD -I -v".

when i run the suggested “FireMotD -I -v” everything seams to be fine.

anyone else having the same problem/bug, or is it individual on my side?

happy christmass

Hi All!

Today I’ve updated my openHABian installation to the latest snapshot release (2.5.0~S1479-1 (Build #1479)). After that, OH2 is not starting anymore (see: openHAB not starting after update (ServerSessionImpl - InterruptedByTimeoutException: null) for details).

Therefore, currently I suggest not to update your openHABian installation!

SOLVED! Cleaning the cache made it working again!

How do I completely remove the FIND server and dependencies again?

I’ve a question. The images are prepared for Pine A64 and I’d like to know if the image would also work for PINE A64 - LTS, the hardware configurations is little different than the previous hw version. The problem is that the original Pine A64 is not being sold any more.

Does OpenHABian supports Banana Pi BPI-M64 ?

Please provide the link to download if it is there.

Otherwise please guide what needs to be done to add support for it in OpenHABian.

Thanks.

Hi @Marcin_Jabrzyk
I don’t think the prebuild image will work as it is based on a specific image for the original version PINE64.
The script however will work. Please see Hartmann’s post above.

Cheers,

The script does currently not support a automatic removal.
You could work it out your self what to remove by looking at the script itself, https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/blob/master/functions/packages.bash#L221.

Please open a bug ticket on this at www.github.com/openhab/openhabian

Same issue here, with the firemot, is there any manual way to fix it?..

Thanks for your input Sebastian

1: Did you run the script from the menu “fresh install” ?
2. True, let’s update the doc.
3. I think this is fixed now, will check it out.

Hi Thom,

are you planning to make a new openhabian image for the Raspberry Pi 4?

kind regards
Michael

We will as time permits. But there’s a number of issues we need to work on first so this will take some months probably.

According to their site, the CPU architecture is backwards compatible.
IOW, current image should work.

Unlikely. Raspberry foundation says RPi 4 needs a new Raspbian base image and advises not to upgrade. So we need to create a new image, and that’ll take time.
