Armbian - MyC V2 - install

JeeLet

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

to get random string openssl rand -hex 16

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

jkandasa

@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/

hello Jkandasa

account created on Transifex, waiting for approval!

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

I continue my exploration

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

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?

JeeLet

"Your account is already activated."

I have my account on Transifex with my name JeeLet
I've renewed my membership to the mycontrollerorg V2 group
but this time the French is not in the list for the choice of the Language ??
so I took Russian, it's fashionable.

and for the link of learntohackit, no it's not me
only for information to pick

JeeLet

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

now, you are in French and Russian

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

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

create a directories to keep MyController server data and executable - arm64
- sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home
- sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/executable

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

download the bundle and extract on executable directory
- cd /opt/apps/mycontroller

what is the error ???

jkandasa

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

JeeLet

thank you jkandasa

the installation procedure is updated

jkandasa

Thanks @JeeLet !

I redo a clean installation.
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 “Waning: 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?
