January 10, 20215 yr I can see the new fixed IP for the docker on my router UDM But I can not access the docker UI? (I set the port to 8282) I dont know if its the docker(Hoobs or its my Unraid setup with Br0?
January 10, 20215 yr Nice to know that other people are struggling to... I think I will try to create a VM instead I did this with Home Assistant and its rock solid! Would also eliminate the IP problems.... and if I do transcoding then this might be better?
January 10, 20215 yr Wow this is really fast and better scaling than the Docker (More Icons on the web UI) and fixed IP is easy since it now has a MAC and I can just do a DHCP reservation for this (I spend all night trying to get the docker working) and it took 10 min to create the VM For anyone else who wants to try this in a VM instead of Docker on Unraid: Download Fedora ISO: Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-33-1.2.iso Install Fedora on Unraid as VM: (I need to update the icon for HOOBS 🙂 ) Click create and go to your VNC Fill out everything ("X" SSH) Install and wait Instruction after this is Copy paste from here LINK Update Fedora and go for Coffee Quote sudo yum update Set Hostname Quote sudo hostnamectl set-hostname hoobs Install Avahi Quote sudo yum install -y nss-mdns avahi Enable Avahi Quote sudo systemctl enable avahi-daemon.service Now reboot Quote sudo reboot If you do not want to enter your password in the command line, you can setup sudo to not prompt for a password.

So I created another one, and deleted the current one. And there is another typo with the description of the home bridge port "51826 >> 512826" but it's not blocking. Plus the one with the WebGUI that someone talked about. It makes me think the author couldn't care less about the community.

It makes me think the author couldn't care less about the community. So you created your own Docker? or did you install it as a VM like me? I found that even if I got the Docker working and could access the UI allot of the plugins would NOT work! (They needed the fixed IP, which I never could get working on my Unraid server) There seem to be many problem with running HOOBS or Homebridge in a Docker Another thing people have to fix is the FFMPEG codec path to get Cameras working like this: The VM setup just works Update: I now have both HOOBS and Homebridge running as VM's and all my plugins work in Homebridge (I even like the UI better than HOOBS!) HOOBS is still Hit and miss on the configuration the UI on Homebridge will tell you more about inputting the correct information as examples
January 13, 20215 yr @casperse Hello, yes you need an IP in the same network than your devices. It is usually "easy" to setup (have to choose "Custom: Br0" and define an ip), but I couldn't make it work with this image. So I dropped it and I installed the official docker image hoobs/hoobs. I could add the bridge to my House app of Apple ! But I can't make my 2 switchbot work correctly. I'm gonna try Homebridge then. Thanks ! Edited January 13, 20215 yr by pee_bear
March 3, 20215 yr Often I lose connection with my Hoobs. When I open the application, the devices don't appear. Is there a server setting to change? Thank,
March 9, 20215 yr I can access the docker UI and some plugins work fine, others are problematic or require different versions of underlying dependencies. The lack of updates to this docker make the situation untenable. If you're just jumping on this thread now and wanting HOOBS for the first time or simply for the first time in Unraid, save yourself long-term issues. SKIP THIS DOCKER. Refer to the instructions above and go with a VM instead which will let you stay up to date - which is required for some plugins. Edited March 9, 20215 yr by Espressomatic
April 1, 20215 yr @Squid Hello, you should definitely recheck this app. As you can see, it does not work and the dev doesn't even bother to answer. In fact, I even wonder how it could be accepted in the "Appstore" of unRAID, at first.
January 2, 20224 yr Is anyone running this through SWAG that could share their subdomain CONF for HOOBS?

Turns out mine was 3.29 repository so just changed it over to hoobs/hoobs repository now on 3.65 still a little way behind but a lot better than before, I’ve used homebridge and every update is a bum clincher almost every update broke the nest thermostats it was annoying I’m glad I found Hoobs I may get a raspberry pie to so maintenance is easier but the jury is still out on that at the minute.
January 22, 20224 yr 2 hours ago, Dazza1 said: nest thermostats Absolutely completely off topic. Do you recommend running with home bridge when having this? What advantages would I gain vs the app?
January 23, 20224 yr 21 hours ago, Squid said: Absolutely completely off topic. Do you recommend running with home bridge when having this? What advantages would I gain vs the app? Short answer yes, Advantage over homebridge is hoobs is a lot more solid especially if your running nest plugin, I use to hate updating it, I ended up nearly having to rebuild homebridge after every update to that plug in it was so annoying. Reliability is what you gain over Homebridge the only real use is Siri to change temp have Siri tell you what the temp is in the house and to have it in HomeKit how it should have been. I had problems with homebridge on the MacBook and also on the server that’s why I moved to hoobs Hope this helps Edited January 23, 20224 yr by Dazza1
January 23, 20224 yr Actually, I was just referring to why use Hoobs / Homebridge over Google's own Nest App (not Google Home as it's garbage)

I get to the point where you say "Instruction after this is Copy paste from here LINK" when I try the commands from the link it does not recognize them. I did also just realize that this post is a year old and a lot has probably changed. just was wondering if you could shine some light on what I might not be noticing.
February 26, 20224 yr Using the wget installer for Fedora above will get you version 3.3.2, which is almost as out of date as the Docker container. You can get the latest version (4.1.22 as of my typing this) running on a Debian/Ubuntu VM by following the steps on the HOOBS official website. I just finished setting it up; it works perfectly, and has a lot of improvements.

So maybe when the temp inside gets too high or humid you can automate the HVAC or motion sensors. Ive just setup a Raspberry pie now so i can get onto version 4 and updates are coming out almost daily. And the best thing after so long I've finally managed to get my RingDoorBell to work with Homekit. I don't think the plugin for unraid had the necessary elements to make it work, But with the PI it works soo well! But without a question this plugging for the unraid server was a life bacon. Edited March 19, 20224 yr by Dazza1 typo
May 19, 20224 yr Is the docker container no longer updated - and / or should we be using a VM instead, by the looks of a post further up?
