      hello

      "secret is not a command, secret is used to encrypt your sensitive data " πŸ™‚

      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 πŸ™‚

      "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 πŸ™‚ 😞

                • 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 πŸ˜‰

                  @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/

                      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?

                          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 πŸ™‚

                                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
                                  RFLink Tasmota
                                  Weather Underground ESPHome
                                  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.

                                  and yes I have received the authorization for Transifex.

                                  +1

                                      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

                                            by following the modification of the tuto .

                                            there is an error message for the installation of influxdb

                                             wget -qO- https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key | sudo apt-key add -
                                            Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
                                            E: This command can only be used by root.
                                            
                                            

                                            Fix β€œWaning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead”

                                            "Even if this is a warning message, you can continue to use apt-key, but it will be removed in the next releases. So it will be a good idea to start using the new way."

                                            "Solution:
                                            ..... new way of adding GPG keys to the system and avoiding the above warning.
                                            The following command will download a remote GPG key, encrypt it and save it..... "

                                            see how we can solve the problem.

                                            and maybe upgrade to version 2 of influxdata?
