Custom deps deployment addon - what does it do?

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I don’t understand what this one is doing. I have graph-your-z-wave-mesh-python-auto-update but that one requires networkx in the venv.

I can achieve this through:

docker container exec your_container_id pip3 install networkx

which results in this log:

Collecting networkx

Requirement already satisfied: decorator>=4.1.0 in /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from networkx)
Installing collected packages: networkx

Successfully installed networkx-2.1
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 10.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

but I thought “Custom deps deployment addon” would to the same? This would be convenient as it is run when HA restarts and installs dependencies.

Add-on config has:

{
  "pypi": [
    "networkx"
  ],
  "apk": []
}

The log says:

starting version 3.2.4
[Info] Remove old deps
[Info] Install pypi modules into deps
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 10.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
[Info] done

Somehow this doesn’t do what I thought it would do - anyone sees something obviously wrong?

Many thanks,
jhh

Indeed, what even is it :slight_smile:
I was browsing the add-ons and clicked ‘Visit Custom deps deployment page for details.’ but it is a broken link.

yep, broken link. I found this thread trying to find some information on how to set it up. I have a custom component (life360.py) that needs updating, and before I did a manual update, I wanted to see if this addon would be useful to automate that.

Same for me.
I don’t get why it is listed under official add-ons.

Sadly, the best documentation for this is likely the script that actually runs when the addon starts…

I am trying to install matplotlib using the addon but no luck. It says it couldn’t find the dependencies FreeType and png. Can anyone help please?
Thanks

It looks like the custom_deps addon was moved to the “hassio addons development” repository:
https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-addons-development

Seems like you can install it by adding the repository with the URL above, then installing it like you would any other component through the UI.
