      @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?

            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. πŸ™‚

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

              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

                        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 ???

                          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

                                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 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?

                                    I found the problem

                                    in the config file: mycontroller.yaml

                                    database: > metric: > disabled: true

                                    it must be "true".
                                    and it's ok, the MyC page is displayed

                                    but I find myself with the error

                                    "WARNING: Metrics database disabled"

                                    a future with influxdb2 ....
                                    Yes, I will have to open a new thread on the marriage between MyC and influxDB πŸ™‚

                                        excuse me @jkandasa I gave up, a moment of tiredness.

                                        I started all over again.
                                        I started again with influxdb 1.xx .
                                        For influxdb2.xx I start again in the week with another OdroidC2 .

                                        it's not very good to want to test new versions at the same time, MyC2++ and influxDB2

                                        but now I can install influxDB2 without any problem πŸ™‚

                                          @JeeLet I tried influxdb2 locally and work ok.

                                          once you setup influxdb2 in your host, setup a API TOKEN for mycontroller.
                                          Details are in https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/security/tokens/create-token/#manage-tokens-in-the-influxdb-ui

                                          metric database configuration will be looking like this,

                                          metric:
                                            disabled: false
                                            type: influxdb
                                            uri: http://192.168.122.1:8086
                                            token: uBykOQ_17_m-KMdBkWa_UiTNpBViQH***akY_Rec_49kV0gLg_zZZw==

                                            bucket_name: myc
                                            batch_size:
                                            flush_interval: 5s

                                            Thank you for the additional information.

                                            yes, influxDB2 is working well with MyC πŸ™‚

                                            but I have to put the parameter to true

                                            database: > metric: > disabled: true
                                            

                                            so that the web page opens, otherwise it's a black screen.

                                            with as result the message :
                                            "WARNING: Metrics database disabled

                                            weird

                                            it doesn't matter.
                                            now I look at influxdb2 how to use it with myC
