I would really appreciate some help how to run my homeassistant install using python 3.7. I am not currently using a virtual environment and have been happy with my system for a couple of year.
Should I be able to migrate all my existing entities, automationst etc… Into the venv? I know in hindsight venv would have been the right way to go, but I can’t turn back the clock. Everything is working perfectly atm. Zwave, ZigBee, etc… Im looking for the most seemless way to continue updating and not breaking anything! Also am nervous about loosing SSL access, which I configured using one of the blog guides…
Ok. This sounds like the right way to do this cleanly… I would really appreciate if you could confirm the following strps.:
Stop my existing Hass service.
Build a venv as per new install instructions
Install Hass in new venv
Copy config directory across
Create new systemd start file as per auto start guide
Disable old systemd start file
Start New Hass service
Check everything works again!
Worse case scenario if something doesn’t work or I mess up, I can start the original/ old version again. (Family now expect Hass is always available!!)
The second is for Developers, i think the know what’s missing.
Btw, you should all python3 commands replace with python3.7
First thing i do after activating the venv, ist check the python version with only python.
