Awesome! This is a perfect way to go… I just found somebody else’s workaround and built a few IF statements to ease the task but your add-on takes it to a new level. Thanks for knocking it out and actually giving us all a super-simple example of an add-on.
@TazzerMAN, I had it set to 2GB and it worked great. Then I changed to 3GB, rebooted and restarted everything including the add-on but it’s still keeping the original size of the file though the radio button is different now. Looks like a bug but small one since 2GB is more than plenty to get folks operational for many other components to leverage.
Anyone noticed increased swap and memory use after upgrade to HAOS 10.
My RAM use jumps to 97% after upgrade to HAOS 10 and even 10.1 doesn’t solve it.
I’ve upgraded and don’t have that issue. It kinda suggests that one of your add-ons or a device integration is the cause. I would try disabling some temporarily and enabling one at a time while watching swap use.
Minor inconvenience… I started the container after upgrading and had the default swap of like 800MB. Then I restarted, still 800. I then changed my 3072 back to 2048 and started, got my 2048. Then went to 3GB and restarted the container/add-on again and got my 3GB of swap. Works with minor quirks but no complaints, I like it
Did anyone else have the issue that the default swapfile that HAOS created after first installation is huge (11GB), leaving only 500mb left in a 16gb ssd, causing to not restore a backup and continue?
So I want to reduce the swapfile but I can’t install any addons. I created a new topic, and because this is the most related topic that I found, I hope it’s ok to share my weird problem here.
I’m using the addon but like to go back to default, so back to standard.
The reason why is because (I’m not 100% sure) my RPi powers off after x-hours after using the addon.
Can you let me know how to do that??
You can check by typing htop and looking in the top for the swap size and usage.
But to answer your question, no, you are doing it wrong. You are not typing the command into the terminal window. You are adding that command to the settings of the Terminal addon.
No, on start of the addon is recreated to the size that you set (2GB in your example)
Yes, that is how it supposed to be, but if not working, then there is a line to enter init_commands, paste it there without the beginning and it will take care of it.
You need to save the settings and restart the addon. Look at the log then and you will see how the command was activated during the start of the addon.
Yep, but follow the instructions from the first post, and change the username and password, because it allows ssh access to your HA, being Terminal and SSH addon.
