When starting appdaemon with appdaemon -c conf/appdaemon.cfg
I get:
2017-02-19 10:29:01.414394 INFO AppDaemon Version 1.5.2 starting
2017-02-19 10:29:11.645541 INFO Got initial state

and it stops there. No info about modules loaded or Hello World. Not sure what I’ve done wrong.
What does your appdaemon.cfg file look like?
try specifying the complete path not a relative path to the config file.
[AppDaemon]
ha_url = http://localhost:8123
ha_key =
logfile = STDOUT
errorfile = STDERR
app_dir =
threads = 10
# Apps
[hello_world]
module = hello
class = HelloWorld
I tried specifying the app directory to a sub directory called “apps” within /.homeassistant and got the same result
That did it.

Thanks!
Having the same problem. What exactly did you do to solve it? Thanks.
what he did wouldnt solve your problem, because appdaemon has changed to much in the last 7 months.
so you get no hello world?
what is your appdaemon version?
what is in your logfiles?
what is in your appdaemon.yaml?
what is in your apps.yaml?
Thanks for you reply. Here is my log:

Thanks so much for your help. I was expecting the hello message to show up in the log file but maybe it’s somewhere else?
you use appdaemon version 2.0.8 and if i am correct in that version the appdaemon.yaml and apps.yaml were still 1 file.
so you have 2 choices:
Thanks so much! The second option worked.
I just installed Appdaemon using Hass.io so I am surprised it is not the latest version.
I tried the first option by logging into my pi using Putty with user “root” but it doesn’t recognize the command.
It gives me:
core-ssh:/# sudo pip3 install --upgrade appdaemon
-ash: sudo: not found
I would like to update. What am I doing wrong?
no idea.
sudo should work in my opinion, but you also could try it without sudo if you are root user
pip3 install --upgrade appdaemon
Tried that. Same result:
core-ssh:/# pip3 install --upgrade appdaemon
-ash: pip3: not found
But thanks again for your help. At least I can get started now. I never would have figured that out in a million years.
The version thing is quite confusing. On the Hass.io page for AppDaemon under “Info” it says “version 0.0.13”. At the bottom of the page under “Logs” it says “starting version 3.2.2”. And in the log file it says “INFO AppDaemon Version 2.0.8 starting”
Anyway, thanks again for your help.
i can only guess that sudo and pip are shutdown because of hassio.
its hassio what makes things confusing for people.
i never used it and i get confused by it 
You can’t use ssh in hass.io to install or upgrade anything as it is only a limited cli intended to be used for a few commands. Typing “hassio help” will show you these. You can’t update the addon because it is running in a container (as are all addons) and ha is running in its own container on top of ResinOS. They work in a modular sense together to create your home assistant as a whole. It is a bit different than the usual installation of HA.
If you are knowledgeable about the OS and docker containers, you can SSH in following these instructions:
https://home-assistant.io/developers/hassio/debugging/ but unless you’re developing your own addon there is no real benefit as any changes you make will not survive the next update/reboot.
The appdaemon addon needs to be updated or you can create your own and manually install it. I’m still trying to figure out how to do that myself.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful.
