      @jeelet good to see that your MC 2.0 is functional.
      secret is not a command, secret is used to encrypt your sensitive data.
      You have to update the secret in mycontroller.yaml file.
      NOTE: when you change the secret in mycontroller.yaml file, all your existing passwords/tokens (supplied via GUI) will not be working. You have to update those values again.

        hello

        "secret is not a command, secret is used to encrypt your sensitive data " 🙂

        in the file
        /opt/apps/mycontroller/executable/ mycontroller.yaml

        I do have a secret: 5a2f6ff25b0025aeae12ae096363b51a # !!! WARNING: CHANGE THIS SECRET !!!

        but how to get this key? what command used?

        • Another question (thanks for your time to inform us)

        in the yellow banner of the web page, I have a "Warning" message

        "WARNING: Metrics database disabled"

        What is the problem ?

        still the file mycontroller.yaml to modify 🙂

        "metric:
        disabled: true <----???
        type: influxdb
        uri: http://127.0.0.1:8086
        token:
        ....
        .."

        Thanks very much

          @jeelet I used random string, you can use of your choose.
          to get random string openssl rand -hex 16

            you have to enable the metric database

            disabled: false
            type: influxdb

                  one last question 🙂 😞

                  • how to install multiple locale support , French .

                  a command or files to copy? crushed?
                  what directory?
                  but what right to give them? (root!)

                  after that I leave you alone 😉

                    @jeelet you can ask as may questions you have. no problem at all.
                    For locale I have setup for different languages. But till now no translator available for languages.
                    You can create a account in transifex.com and send a request to French language.
                    Once I approved, you can start the translation
                    to get your changes, I have to rebuild the MyController v2.
                    MyController v2 locale: https://www.transifex.com/mycontrollerorg/version2/

                      account created on Transifex, waiting for approval!

                      I'm going to test MyController version 1.5 on an odroid C2

                      I continue my exploration 😉

                        I do not see a request. can you please send your transifex user id via chat?

                        I'm going to test MyController version 1.5 on an odroid C2

                        If you are new to MyController, I would recommend you start from MyController v2
                        in v 1.x you do not see new features, will be addressed only critical issues in v1.x.

                        here is a link for information that you may know http://learntohackit.com/intro/

                        It is a new. I do not know that. Is that page maintained by you?

                          so I took Russian, it's fashionable. 🙂

                            for the reason of the test of the version 1.5

                            • the pdf documentation is more detailed

                            • more functionality, for example, the MyController time does not appear version V2
                              ( maybe a mistake from my part


                            I tested to test with Azul (java)
                            https://docs.azul.com/core/zulu-openjdk/install/debian#install-from-azul-apt-repository

                            sudo ./start.sh
                            /usr/bin/java
                            java version: 11.0.14.1
                            Mycontroller.org server required java version 1.7 or later

                            so I continue on version 2 🙂

                                  a screenshot of the V2 version compared with the 1.5 version (a view given by the pdf, I did not install the v1.5)

                                  and yes I have received the authorization for Transifex.

                                    MyController v2 completely redesigned. Backend/ frontend changed completely.
                                    We may not map the options 1:1, however we can achieve similar features in v2.

                                    Approx Mapping:

                                    v1 v2
                                    Sensor Source
                                    Sensor Variable Field
                                    Variable Data repository
                                    Rule Task
                                    Timer Schedule
                                    Operation Handler

                                    Supported Providers as on Mar 2022:

                                    v1 v2
                                    MySensors MySensors
                                    PhilipsHue PhilipsHue
                                    MyController (native) System Monitoring

                                    Generic

                                    in v2, most of the graphs goes in to Chart Panel and Utilization Panel widgets
                                    for now bullet graph, heatmap chart, MyController time, Sunrise and Sunset time not available in v2.

                                      to avoid further errors.
                                      which directory / command for the installation ?
                                      yes this sentence translated in french is wrong " Pas dans mycontroller/executable"
                                      thanks

                                        I would say to keep the things simple, use as follows,

                                        # create a directories to keep MyController server data and executable
                                        sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home
                                        
                                        # download the bundle and extract on mycontroller directory
                                        sudo wget https://github.com/mycontroller-org/server/releases/download/master/mycontroller-server-master-linux-arm.tar.gz
                                        
                                        sudo tar xzf mycontroller-server-master-linux-arm.tar.gz  --strip-components=1 --directory /opt/apps/mycontroller
                                        
                                        # create directories to keep image files to show it MyController dashboard
                                        sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home/secure_share
                                        sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home/insecure_share
