account created on Transifex, waiting for approval!

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.

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

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

JeeLet

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?

influxDB is functional

JeeLet

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

jkandasa

@JeeLet can you show your metric configuration? hide credentials
sample configuration: https://v2.mycontroller.org/docs/installation/advanced-installation/backend-configuration/#sample-of-cloud-influxdb-configuration

JeeLet

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

jkandasa

@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==
  username:
  password:
  organization_name: myc_org
  bucket_name: myc
  batch_size:
  flush_interval: 5s

JeeLet

Thank you for the additional information.

yes, influxDB2 is working well with MyC

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

jkandasa

@JeeLet can you share your database configuration?

JeeLet

@jkandasa I found it

when MyC has not yet created data, a blank system (no connection and activation of the gateway)

the connection for the web page is not possible if
"metric: disabled : true"

MyController does not like to be alone
