HADashboard - Dashboards are disabled

Third party integrations HADashboard

I don’t get any distinct error except that dashboards are disabled. Its probably something extremely simple but I am not finding another post covering it.

i think its indeed quite simple.
you dont have a section hadashboard: in your appdaemon.yaml (you named it HADashboard) and so appdaemon cant find the settings for your dashboardserver.

so change HADashboard to hadashboard. :wink:

there are some other warnings also.

WARNING config_dir: /home exists, but is not writeable, owner: root

its a new part from the debugging, (which i have not seen untill yet, introduced in 3.01) and i dont know if that warning tells that your config dir has the wrong filerights or that its accidental and it points to the base dir, which shouldnt influence anything. (maybe that @aimc can tell me more bout that warning)

WARNING AppDaemon: File ‘/home/homeassistant/conf/apps/apps.yaml’ invalid structure - ignoring

this is a warning i do understand.
apps.yaml has a failure. so anything inside that is ignored. if you have apps that you want to run inside it, you need to take care of that.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. That fixed it up. Also thanks for the other advice, I am just getting started with this so I just basically want to validate the server is working first before I customize anything.

I checked the permissions and its just the /home directory that is owned by root, but that should be correct and ok.
