Turnkey raspberry pi deployment with Fabric

Trying to update the Configuration.yaml using WinSCP.

I’m simply commenting out the introduction line with a # in front of “introduction:”

So I’m not clear how to restart home-assistant from within WinSCP so I simply pull the power plug on the Raspberry.

The introduction screen will not go away (cleared cache) and I can view the updated configuration.yaml to see the line is commented out.

Only log entry is…

16-05-17 11:17:18 homeassistant.components.recorder: Found unfinished sessions

I see no other configuration.yaml on the SD card at all.

What did I do wrong?

Who are you logged in as?

pi / raspberry and I have the sudo su - done in WinSCP

Thanks,
Calvin

So I think your logged in as question is referring to the front page of Home-assistant? I was able to log out & log back in (doesn’t seem to matter what I use as password to log in (raspberry/ blank)) and the intro screen is gone so I’m off to edit something else and learn more.

Thanks,
Calvin

This is failing for me with when extracting libwebsockets

[localhost] out: libwebsockets-1.4-chrome43-firefox-36/test-server/leaf.jpg
[localhost] out:
[localhost] out: gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
[localhost] out: tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
[localhost] out: tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
[localhost] out: tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[localhost] out:


Fatal error: sudo() received nonzero return code 2 while executing!

Requested: tar xvf libwebsockets*
Executed: sudo -S -p 'sudo password:'  /bin/bash -l -c "cd /tmp >/dev/null && tar xvf libwebsockets*"

Aborting.
Disconnecting from localhost... done.

Unfortunately it seems that if the script fails you cannot simply run it again. It will fail if rerun for a number of reasons, existing users, directories, etc.

What’s the upgrade procedure for HA in a VirtualEnv as pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant does not work? Error log here.

Same boat, normal upgrade fails to work due to permissions/file locations I guess? My log is a bit different…

Thanks, Calvin

Cleaning up…

Anybody figure out how to update in a virtualenv? Following the directions on the site appear to upgrade has, but it’s still running 19.4.

I also like to know to to update in the virtualenv. Someone already found out? @jbags81 ?

After a lot of trying I found out… and it works:

to upgrade:

sudo su -s /bin/bash hass

then

source /srv/hass/hass_venv/bin/activate

then

pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

I was able to get home assistant setup on my PI w/ this installer and I’m now trying to setup my zwave stick but I don’t know where to find the config that’s mentioned in the instructions. When I did this on a test VM the paths matched up but I don’t see anything matching the path in the /srv/hass/hass_venv/lib/python3.4/

Wiki Path: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.0b8-py3.4-linux-x86_64.egg/config

Any pointers on where to look?

Thanks!

***EDIT

A little more digging and I found the answer in another thread. Z-Wave with Raspberry Pi All-In-One Installer
