Started with hassbian on RPi3. System works, so I wanted some functional dashboard. Now fighting with installation of HD1 or HD2 beta. No success. It’s third hour. HD2 beta stopped me here:
pi@hassbian:~/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon $ python3 -m appdaemon.appdaemon -c /home/pi/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/runpy.py", line 170, in _run_module_as_main
"__main__", mod_spec)

conf.threads = int(config['AppDaemon'].get('threads'))
TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'NoneType'
Now returned to install HD 1. Command sudo docker build -f Docker-raspi/Dockerfile -t hadashboard . in progress.
Documentation for people like me: new in HA is more than poor 
Since you’re using Docker for v1, were you trying to use it for v2?
I’m working on mods and a tutorial for inclusion in v2. I haven’t added the pi support yet so you’ll have to build the Docker yourself for now (edit the top of Dockerfile first) and change the image refs in the tutorial. Make sure you pull from the hadashboard_beta branch:

Sweet! Can I ask what steps you did, just for posterity reasons? I assumed based on the first post you’re working on a Pi.
I cloned from your link, but there is no dashboard inside, so cloned from Beta thread. Complete cfg:
[AppDaemon]
ha_url = http://192.168.0.104:8123
ha_key =
logfile = STDOUT
errorfile = STDERR
dash_url = http://192.168.0.104:5050
app_dir = /home/pi/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/apps
threads = 10
disable_apps = 1
After that started daemon from appdaemon folder:
appdaemon -c /home/pi/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/appdaemon.cfg
Starting with suggested line, prints errors:
$ appdaemon -c conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/appdaemon", line 9, in <module>
load_entry_point('appdaemon==1.5.2', 'console_scripts', 'appdaemon')()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/appdaemon/appdaemon.py", line 1549, in main
config.read_file(open(config_file))
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 'conf'
Now working on autostart. And question about paths - I haven’t “/usr/local/bin/appdaemon” folder so used: APPDAEMON_DIR=/home/pi/appdaemon and DAEMON=???
Ahhh. I assumed you’d be running the Docker steps, so in that case it probably makes more sense to keep pulling from the official repo and engage in the beta 3 thread. the appdaemon -c stuff should be the conf dir and not the config file though.
$ appdaemon -c /home/pi/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/appdaemon”, line 9, in
load_entry_point(‘appdaemon==1.5.2’, ‘console_scripts’, ‘appdaemon’)()
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/appdaemon/appdaemon.py”, line 1549, in main
config.read_file(open(config_file))
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: ‘/home/pi/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/’
Try removing the trailing /? I’m not sure. I dont use one in the Docker build though.
As You described here: Announcement: HADashboard v2 Beta!
I modified files and now run in that way (still errors):
