openHABIan is just scripts to load packages, these you can update individually.
Also the installer updates itself automatically.
Hm, maybe I’m mixing things up. If I look here: GitHub · Where software is built Those changes are not being propagated into the installer when it auto-updates, are they?
I try to keep away from custom and manual tweaks on this system, that’s why I rather not update the scripts individually but keep on the automatic track.
Hi thread!
I have started a small effort of clearing out the worst technical dept built up, hopefully in time with upcoming 2.4 OpenHAB release.
Please join in and contribute. 
Hi Martin.
Which password do you exactly try to change, which service?
openhab, systempassword?
How long is the password, any special chars?
Can you make up a similar password so I can reproduce the error?
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 openHABian | openHAB .
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!
Sebastian
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: [SOLVED] 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.
- Install a debian-like image to the banana pi http://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-M64#Image_Release - headless (non-desktop) would be best choice
- Install openhabian manually openHABian | openHAB
- use openhabian
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, openhabian/functions/packages.bash at main · openhab/openhabian · GitHub.
// EG
Please open a bug ticket on this at GitHub - openhab/openhabian: openHABian - empowering the smart home, for Raspberry Pi and Debian systems
// EG.
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.
