Domoticz Installation on FreeNAS - Autostart Problem...

[htavasoglu]

Hi everybody,

I have a FreeNAS server at home and want to install Domoticz in a Jail

I followed the instructions I found on https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/FreeNAS

I created a new jail, downloaded domoticz etc.

Now, if I go to directory in the jail ( ~/domoticz/domoticz ) and input the command ./domoticz than it runs perfectly

What I want to do is to autostart domoticz when I turn on the FreeNAS server

Unfortunately on the instruction page, (https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/FreeNAS) at the last paragraph the link is dead and I am not able to create the file named domoticz inside the rc.d directory

I have no experience in FreeBSD or Linux so please help me accordingly

Thanks in advance....

Is there a specific reason you aren't using the repository? Using the following command would install everything necessary for you:

pkg install domoticz

To autostart, you would most likely receive a message after running that command saying add domoticz_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf

The prebuilt package contains the rc.d file you are looking for.

 

[htavasoglu]

First of all, thank you for your reply.

I tried installation from the repository earlier. It worked well but there was no Plugin support in the repository version, was there?

Do you think the rc.d file is usable for manual installation? Then I will try to install it once more to copy rc.d file.

 

[toyebox]

Yes, it can be used but I am not 100% sure if it's a direct plug and play situation. I am not familiar with the directories it calls from and how it compares to the manual installation instructions. It's a simple script and opening it in nano and verifying the directory calls are correct.

As a side note, if you plan on sticking with FreeNAS, or FreeBSD, I would recommend reading about rc.d scripts and try to teach yourself about writing them. They are fairly simple.

At the moment I am trying to edit directory instructions at the repository installed rc.d file to make them suitable for the manual installed one. (domoticz)
I hope I can manage it...

Yes I need to learn about the scripts etc... Soon...

Try this!

Save it under /usr/local/etc/rc.d/domoticz

You might need to adjust the domoticz.db directory and the cmd directory (this is the file you use when you ./domoticz)

Code:

#! /bin/sh
#
#

# PROVIDE: domoticz
# REQUIRE: LOGIN cleanvar
# KEYWORD: shutdown

#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable domoticz:
#
#domoticz_enable (bool): set to "YES" to start domotics at boot
#domoticz_dbdir (str):   Default to "/var/db/domoticz"
#						domoticz database directory
#domoticz_user (str):	Default to www, user for starting domoticz
#domoticz_group (str):   Default to www, group for stating domoticz
#domoticz_pidfile (str): Custum PID file path and name
#						Default to "/var/run/domoticz/${hostname}.pid".
#domoticz_args (str):	Custom additional arguments to be passed
#

. /etc/rc.subr

name="domoticz"
rcvar="domoticz_enable"
stop_cmd="${name}_stop"

load_rc_config $name

command="/home/domoticz/domoticz/domoticz"
command_args="-dbase ${domoticz_dbdir}/domoticz.db -pidfile ${pidfile} ${domoticz_args}"

domoticz_stop() {
		if [ -e "${pidfile}" ]; then
				echo "Stopping ${name}..."
				kill -9 `cat ${pidfile}`
				rm ${pidfile}
		else

Dear @captainkent thank you for your effort to help me and for editing the file for me.
But unfortunately, perhabs I am so dump that I couldn't manage to autostart domoticz :(

Normally it is running OK with ./domoticz command

What could be the problem?

 

[captainkent]

Did you make the file executable?

Code:

cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
chmod +x domoticz

 

[htavasoglu]

@captainkent Yes I've already done that :(

But I realize that if I use service domoticz start command it gives an error message :

root@domoticz:/ # service domoticz start
/etc/rc.d/domoticz: 53: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "fi")

So there is an error at the last part of the rc.d/domoticz file

I tried to add "}" and "fi" in different combinations but even if it did not give error message it doesn't start the domoticz server either.

Code:

#! /bin/sh
#
#

# PROVIDE: domoticz
# REQUIRE: LOGIN cleanvar
# KEYWORD: shutdown

#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable domoticz:

Hi,

I have FreeNAS-11.1-U1 running and Domoticz in a warden jail. I have also Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5. I did try to instal stick into a iocage jail but symbolic link to the domoticz jail did not work. I do not know much about linux or FreeNas but i have a friend who helped me. But my friend has no knowledge about Domoticz or configuration scripts of the Domoticz. But anyway, he was able to fix some structural errors of the "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/domoticz" file.

Now autostart is working but Domoticz UI is not responding and there is no content at all. Some links, like 'update' and 'security panel' do work but rest of the menus is not working and there is no content. We had no ideas what is wrong but we are guessing that there is something wrong with Domoticz configuration. Sorry for the bad english.

EDIT: Content is there but are hidden with display none css property
EDIT2: Problem solved installing 'openssl' and UI is working.
