Where did the AD config go with update to 0.15.0?

mibane · November 15, 2023, 2:59pm

Yes, that did it! All automations do work again! Thanks a lot, Neil @Neil_Brownlee!

Nevertheless, there are lots of warnings in the log now. I guess they are also related to that config to homeassistant folder migration?

Michal_Ivan · November 15, 2023, 3:03pm

Hey Neil, thanks for your help, that did the trick !

skywalker007 · November 15, 2023, 3:18pm

I tried restoring the backup but appdaemon doesn’t get back up then.
I get these errors after restore:

type [16:14:48] FATAL: Seems like the /config/appdaemon folder exists,
[16:14:48] FATAL: however appdaemon.yaml wasn't found.
[16:14:48] FATAL: 
[16:14:48] FATAL: Remove or rename the /config/appdaemon folder
[16:14:48] FATAL: and the add-on will create a new and fresh one
[16:14:48] FATAL: for you.or paste code here

Neil_Brownlee · November 15, 2023, 3:21pm

You will find your /config/appdeamon folder is empty. You need go grab it from your backup.

I just opened up my backup with 7zip and found the homeassistant.gz and in there was config and under that appdeamon.

skywalker007 · November 15, 2023, 3:23pm

Ok, let me give that a try. Thank you!

TheBobmanNH · November 15, 2023, 4:26pm

Why does the update (and this comment) say “it moved to its own folder” WITHOUT SAYING WHAT THAT FOLDER IS?! Where is the folder?!?! I can only find one appdaemon folder on my entire filesystem and it’s in /homeassistant/appdaemon, and it’s completely empty. Thanks devs!

andarotajo · November 15, 2023, 5:20pm

For some reason the pop-up in HA for the v0.15.2 update only displayed the “Bug fixes” part of the release notes but looking at the release page tells you more: Release v0.15.2 · hassio-addons/addon-appdaemon · GitHub

Holdestmade · November 15, 2023, 5:24pm

Not sure why you’re shouting at me, but the folder is in the same folder as the new homeassistant folder (old config folder) - addon_configs

TheBobmanNH · November 15, 2023, 5:27pm

Not at you at all, sorry if ti came off that way, just shouting into the void in frustration that a dev would move all files, mention in the release notes that they moved them, and not say where (it doesn’t help that it’s out of the /homeassistant space so the File Editor add-on doesn’t see it by default)

andarotajo · November 15, 2023, 5:36pm

Yea it was just weird that the update message has the information but the relevant part was not visible in HA (Releases · hassio-addons/addon-appdaemon · GitHub). If it was there from the start, most probably wouldn’t update immediately

It’s an unexpected change but the reasoning does make sense:

I’ll need to rethink how I handle the Git repository now though as I’m using the Git pull add-on which is the only headache for me

winkste · November 15, 2023, 7:32pm

Hi all.

Looks like I fall into the same trap with auto update enabled. Currently my versions are:

 Add-on: AppDaemon
 Python Apps and Dashboard using AppDaemon 4.x for Home Assistant
-----------------------------------------------------------
 Add-on version: 0.15.2
 You are running the latest version of this add-on.
 System: Home Assistant OS 7.0  (armv7 / raspberrypi3)
 Home Assistant Core: 2021.12.6
 Home Assistant Supervisor: 2023.11.3
-----------------------------------------------------------
 Please, share the above information when looking for help
 or support in, e.g., GitHub, forums or the Discord chat.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I copied my configuration (which I manually backup, yeahhh) to: addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon now including the following:

The appdaemon.yaml is updated to:

secrets: /homeasistant/secrets.yaml
logs:
main_log:
…

My secrets.yaml is still in config/.

Can anyone elaborate where the failure is? - Is it because I’m using a very old version of hassio not compatible with latest version of appdaemon?

Thanks in advance. … And yes, bugs happen, no reason for blaming somebody, let’s just fix it. @frenck : Thanks for the great stuff you did so far!

richardj · November 15, 2023, 8:10pm

omg, dont know what i did but my home assistant is completely unresponsive, like its stopped running …

tomesch · November 15, 2023, 10:03pm

I’m running on Home Assistant OS:

Core 2023.11.2
Supervisor 2023.11.3
Operating System 11.1
Frontend 20231030.2

I initially had the same problem with the “missing” secrets.yaml.

I changed the path in the appdaemon.yaml to /homeassistant/secrets.yaml. Now AppDaemon acts really weird:
It’s running, somehow. But the Addon page for AppDaemon acts as if the Addon is not started: I can click “start” (a spinner spins for a short time, nothing else happens), I have no “stop” or “restart”, in the upper right corner is a red circle telling me on hover “add-on is stopped”.
On the other hand- new entries are showing up under “log”, although I have no idea where the logfile(s) are that are being filled. I can’t find them anywhere, not under /addon_configs/, nor /config/ nor any other folder.

If I uninstall and reinstall AppDaemon nothing changes.

Has anyone an idea what I can do? Thanks!

winkste · November 16, 2023, 5:02am

Online again!

There where several other references in the appdaemon.yaml file for logging paths that needed to be changed as well:

secrets: /homeassistant/secrets.yaml
logs:
main_log:
filename: /homeassistant/logs/appdaemon.log
access_log:
filename: /homeassistant/logs/access.log
error_log:
filename: /homeassistant/logs/error.log
diag_log:
filename: /homeassistant/logs/diag.log

So, I can confirm that the change of all reference paths in the appdaemon.yaml file and moving the config to the new addons folder in appdeamon 0.15.2 fix the problem.

Timsche2210 · November 16, 2023, 6:12am

damn just saw that my AD get problems…

Is it possible to solve this issue w/o a backup?
I worked yesterday really hard on some other points in HA and it would be very bad if I lost this work

I downloaded Full Backup 2023-11-11 23_00_00.tar (with AD version 14.0)
Is it possible to grab the config from there and copy it in the correct folders right now?

Just grap the data from the backup is not possible?

mibane · November 16, 2023, 6:45am

I have a practical question due to the relocation of the AppDemon configuration folder:

I used to edit the apps.yaml file with VS Code on Windows where I mapped a share onto a drive letter. As the file resided within the config folder, it was easy to edit it together with all the other relevant files. Maybe there is a way to link the new AppDemon configuration folder back to the previous (and now empty) AppDemon folder in the HA config folder so that I can retain my current setup?

mibane · November 16, 2023, 6:51am

It is! You can use 7-Zip to unpack your backup file. You need to to this twice as the *.gz file will be unpacked to a *.tar file which you can unpack again. Then you will find all your files.

Timsche2210 · November 16, 2023, 7:01am

Doesnt work

Now I started the HA config & AD partiell backup and hope I can clear the AD folder (Where did the AD config go with update to 0.15.0? - #5 by Neil_Brownlee)

andarotajo · November 16, 2023, 7:01am

If you just want to have it all together in VS Code, you could just open the folder to the new AD config location in addition to your HA config. You’d have both folders open then in a workspace

mibane · November 16, 2023, 7:06am

Sure you are using 7-Zip? Seems like it is still WinZip or something.
