@digitaldan Managed to get this working. Looks like the certs were the issue, replaced them and its now working nicely.
Question, if you have multiple OH2 instances, and multiple OH2 Cloud instances, is it just the cloud instance/config.json that keeps the notifications seperate? ie what stops one instance sending alerts to another? Im a little confused on how myopenhab.org does this
Not sure i understand. your OH instance uses the cloud binding to talk to a OH Cloud instance, the host is configured in the binding and defaults to myopenhab.org, but can be set to your own instance. Notifications sent to that OH Cloud instance (host) will use whatever GCM/APNS gateway and cert you have configured on that cloud instance, in turn those need to be coordinated with the mobile build you have registered for notifications.
I tried installing this on a RaspberryPi and I have got most of it working with the exception of the app.js running properly.
When i execute ‘sudo node app.js’ it does not throw any errors (or logs to the console) and just reverts back to the command prompt after a few seconds and port 3000 is not opened. A ‘ps -f |grep node’ does not show node running - Any idea where I could be going wrong?
The only difference for me is that I had to manually install node.js as the package you referred to is not supported on Arm6. I installed 7.10 directly from the node.js site.
I got the whole cloud working on my own vps, although it is somewhat confusing that we setup SSL while the cloud connector seems to have to connect directoy to the node application via http.
in any case: I simply cannot get Alexa working the same as with myopenhab (using basic auth here)
I get the skill deployed but in the Alexa app, all items are not responding. In my openhab cloud, no app is shown as being connected…Asking Alexa to do something with specific items WORKS. Scenes like „living room“ do not work.
Am I missing something beyond the above mentioned tutorials (of which some are already outdated. -> make openhab sing to alexa)
Can somebody assist with connecting the actual Openhab instance?
It worked once for me but now the Openhab instance simply will not connect.
I put the same URL into the cloud connector under which my OH cloud is accessible and I created an account there with the same credentials whick work with Myopenhab.
The Openhab Log states simply “disconnect CLoud service (base url = localhost:8080 )”
No logs on the server that Openhab is being rejected or anything
Did you update the uuid and secret when moving to your own openhab cloud instance?
The ohcloud binding does not do much diagnostic logging, so can be difficult to debug.
What do you mean by updating? I actually used the same UUID/secret which is also used for the myopenhab account.
Is it required to use a different one?
regarding logs i do not see any at all, neither on the machine running the cloud nor on the openhab instance. To me it seems it is not even trying to connect. I swear it worked once when I set it up in a hurry, yet never did thereafter while trying to get Alexa to work with it.
Edit:
If I point Openhab to the local cloud instance directly by ip:3000 then openhab connects.
I can also access the server now via app. No idea why openhab is not connecting to the cloud via external domain name
Hello,
I have a Freenas Server with running Openhab in a Jail an my Clound in an Virtual Mashine
is there an option to install the Cloud Service in an Freenas iocage Jail
Ill stoped at an older bcrypt version. installed ist Version 1.1
Someone have an Idea ?
this will be the error:

All working ok great tutorial, but what’s the best way to work with alexa? I tried the tutorial but I think it’s outdated I can’t configure it, anybody has recently success with it?
I followed that page about a year ago. Some steps are not up-to-date in that description. Using the page as a guideline I was able to setup my environment.
does anyone have an up2date docker-compose example for a personal openhab-cloud instance using traefik 2? i try to setup and integrate my own instance into my current infrastructure but all i get is a gateway timeout. i want to run oh-cloud from a subfolder (mydomain/openhab-cloud). maybe it is related to that. but i can manage it correctly for other services too.
all tutorials i found seem to be incorrect or outdated as they use traefik 1 for example.
I was running a own openhabcloud since ages on a Strato Ubuntu 16.04 64bit system. Now I try to reinstall the cloud on a fresh Strato server with Ubuntu 18.04 64bit system.
Unfortunately without luck.

Maybe there is another clever idea for me.
Found this
Is that error message triggered again by running the installer after fixing the first problem ?
When I look into the node_modules directory located in openhab-cloud then besides others I see these directories:
bcrypt/ bcrypt-cache/ bcrypt-pbkdf/
With these versions ( command started from within the openhab-cloud directory )
I installed the cloud a couple of years ago without major problems. But now the file system of my server crashed and I was forced into a fresh install.
What a mess!
It seems the cloud is no longer maintained.
If you have any hints to get beyond the unavailable bcrypt package, please let us know.
Thx
