After updating to the latest container HA, 2022.6 AND following the ‘deadlock’ attack on my NAS hosting HA, I am putting the pieces back together. I have a backup created from within HA but I have not attempted to uncompress it and hope that I will not have to.
A thing I have come up against is the inability to load the HACS integration. HACS appears when I elect to add an integration but i am getting this message, which does not tell me anything:
" Error
This integration does not support configuration via the UI. If you followed this link from the Home Assistant website, make sure you run the latest version of Home Assistant. "
I have a number of HACS supplied integrations which of course are no longer working.
Yes, I know, that command line appears all over the HA community. The problem is that my container installation is on an NAS and the only command line interface is my Windows computer. Neither the ‘cmd’ terminal nor the ‘powershell’ terminal understands that command. I know, Windows blows. Nonetheless that is what I am working with. There is a method within ‘PS’ to perform the download, which I did. Now I have a compressed file which is actually contained within another folder. What do I do with it and how does it get setup? I could actually install wget and bash installed on my Windows machine but why?
As luck would have it, I decided to investigate why my Sonoff integration was not working and I found myself back at John White’s fine article (thanks John) on installing the Sonoff integration which requires HACS and has a link to a .zip file of HACS and instructions on how to install it, including getting the required token from Github. This is how I got HACS installed the very first time while pursuing the Sonoff integration. Sometimes, thanks to people like John, these procedures can be made simple and more compatible with what most people out here are actually using. I could have booted up my laptop on a Linux system, I have that, actually, but why do that?
Thanks for your reply in any case.
I am not sure what the question is. In the end I downloaded the HACS zip file to my phone and then expanded the zip file and copied the files to the custom_components/HACS folder. I used my phone only because that is what I was using at the time. I could have accomplished the same thing on my Windows laptop.
Which NAS are you using? I have HA on my Synology, and I can start a bash shell for a container from the Synology GUI. With that I then have a command line to do whatever is needed inside the container…
I’m pretty sure the Synology GUI is just using docker exec to run bash.
Right, my NAS is a Asustor 6300 series and I have yet to find that functionality. Likely just me but it has not been apparent. There is a bevy of apps available but I have not seen anything I recognize as a terminal app.
OK, fair warning, the following is just from a few internet searches, but maybe it will help. It looks like you can use Portainer to manage your docker setup on that NAS.
And I found this specifically on how to access a containers console using Portainer:
The Synology has a GUI to manage Docker contains built in, so I don’t have to use something like Portainer. Hopefully someone who uses the Asustor will come by and be able to help more.
