I am getting the follow message in the log file when starting. The file is in .homebridge. Why is the file not being found? 

 

/root/install_plugins.sh: line 7: /root/.homebridge/pluginsInstallList: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat ‘/root/.homebridge/pluginsInstallList’: No such file or directory

I have got homebridge installed and seems to be working so that is good.

 

However I want to add Tradfri support by following this guide https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-tradfri

 

But I am not sure how I would install the needed plugin via the docker method

 

Thanks

1. You have to login into your UNRAID system over SSH.

2. Now execute 

docker ps

3. Search the line for your Homebridge instance

CONTAINER ID     IMAGE                   COMMAND           CREATED        STATUS        PORTS         NAMES

111111111111     name/homebridge-docker  "/root/run.sh"    11 weeks ago   Up 3 weeks                  homebridge

Look after the name, normally its just "homebridge"

4. Now you know the name, you can skip these pars the next time. Now you can execute:

docker exec -i -t YOUR-NAME /bin/bash

in my example:

docker exec -i -t homebridge /bin/bash

Now your are in you Docker Container. You can now execute the install commands from your guide. 

 

 

That only works if your docker container is running! If you have some trouble to start your container, just save the config.json file and clear it. Now you can start, after your installation paste your saved config in the file again...

 

Hope could help

I have updated homebridge and tried to install homebridge-nest but it needs a newer version of Node and NPM. How can I update this? When I do homebridge no longer runs as it says it was compiled with a different version

Which docker is the latest and maintained? I followed one of the posts and the node is so old..

Any fix for home bridge not showing in IOS?

 

I've followed instructions from this page and smarthings but not getting anything showing in IOS? 

 

Have tried to delete persist and change the mac address but nothing?

 

 

EDIT:

 

Fixed by changing docker to adair21

 

Thanks! This docker worked great. 

CyberMew, I'm getting an Avahi error with the container from adair21. Did you have to do anything special to get this working?

I think this is a conflict between this and another docker, in my case net data. I never got round to sorting it out properly.

I wish there was a properly supported docker for this.

Edited December 14, 20178 yr by Bizmo

i tried to understand from all this post if its still possible to install homebridge docker here, and to be up-to-date when the official homebridge also release new versions, and i didnt really understand 

 

someone can light my eyes, please?

 

 

also, i install anyway from "adair21" docker, i succeed to pair it and i see it on the appple homekit app, but - i dont really understand how i now adding plugins, or create by myself rules or commands

Sorry I thought I had replied but to answer your question no I didn't have any errors. I think I had, but I just deleted the files and tried again a few times and then it worked. 

Most of the newer plugins need a more recent version of NodeJS. It would be nice if the version with the docker was updated?

have you tried connecting inside of the docker and pulling an update?  I haven't been had a need to try yet but it may work.

For some reason i can't get the web ui to work i'm assuming thats how your adding the pluggins?

Right i've gone back to having nothing in the json file other than the home bridge and set the template to host. it manages to go to a blank WebUI with nothing. The container is running regardless of me having all my plugin config in json just can't work out how to add plugins or how to get the WebUI working. This is the back to basics log

[2018-4-15 20:38:26] Homebridge is running on port 51826. 

figured out how to add the plugins duh, Can anyone tell me how to remove the persist folder please, if this is anything like normal homebridge i take it it adds the folder in itself. 

Problem is sorted. But if someone could tell me how to delete the persist folder as i changed the name and now can't delete it i just want to clean up the install really but all is working  i'm just putting a few things here so other people can use.

 

Check for outdated plugins

npm -g outdated

 

Updating plugins

Periodically, plugins or homebridge may be updated. To see if there are any updates you can run the following command to see what is available

 

Updating NPM

npm i –g npm

 

To update a particular plugin or homebridge itself, run:

 

npm -g update homebridge (name of Plugin)

 

To force an update, you can re-install it to force the latest version:

npm -g install homebridge (name of Plugin)

 

npm install -g homebridge

 

 

npm install -g homebridge-nest

 

npm install -g homebridge-platform-wemo

 

 

UNINSTALL PLUGINS

 

npm uninstall -g homebridge( Name of Plugin)

Sorted deleted the persist folder as it was retaining somethings that i didn't want to now the install is clean. I do fine this a little fragile compaired to it running in terminal on the OSX VM but then again its saved me 10% of Ram so not at bad trade off just got to be careful what plugins you install. Any way to help others that may be in the same boat as i was code for terminal is below, LS shows you whats in the folder, rm -fr Is the command to delete a folder just put its name once you are in the same directory

 

 

root@Zeus:~# cd "/mnt/user/appdata/homebridge/"

root@Zeus:/mnt/user/appdata/homebridge# ls

accessories/  config.json  persist/

root@Zeus:/mnt/user/appdata/homebridge# rm -fr persist

root@Zeus:/mnt/user/appdata/homebridge# ls

accessories/  config.json

root@Zeus:/mnt/user/appdata/homebridge#

Hi, I'm having difficulties to install plugins.

But can someone post a screenshot of an "pluginsInstallList" file? And tell me what the required file extension is?

thanks
