Make Domoticz startup at boot time (Also needed for Web Update)

New page

This guide is for installing domoticz on a cubieboard2 or cubietruck 
 

=Firmware Requirements=
You need a microSD card from at least 4GB. 
 
Please install the latest software from: https://www.armbian.com/download/
 
For cubietruck use: http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2013/12/24/cubietruck-debian-wheezy-sd-card-image/comment-page-1/ 
For cubieboard2 use: https://www.armbian.com/cubieboard-2/
 
 
Select the Mainline Jessie kernel 4.x.x image 
 
== For old cubieboard images: ==
 
after you boot for the first time (username root, password 1234), flash this image on the nand or ssd, 
scripts can be found in the /root folder 
 
This script (for nand at least) you have to execute 2 times 
 
After you booted from the nand or ssd, update the system with: 
 

Create Linaro user:
Add a user called 'linaro' 
 
<code>
adduser linaro
</code>
 
next add this user to the sudo group 
 
 
<code>
adduser linaro sudo
</code>
 
 
next we make sure we do not need to enter a password when issuing a sudo command 
 
<code>
visudo
</code>
 
 
at the bottom of this file place the following line: 
 
<code>
linaro ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
</code>
 

== For current images: ==
 
- after reboot (for 2 times), the disk is expanded automatically. You can login (username root, password 1234) via tty or ssh.
You are asked to change pwd foor root. You are asked to add a sudo enabled user. Type "linaro" as user.
 
<code>
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade 
</code>

=Domoticz Setup=
Login to your cubieboard with the "linaro" user (for windows you can use the program putty)

Setup you timezone with: 
<code>sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata</code>
 

==Installing from Binary (old images) ==
<code>
mkdir domoticz

cd domoticz

wget http://domoticz.sourceforge.net/beta/domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz

tar xvfz domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz

rm domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz
</code>

==Installing from Binary (new images) ==
Login as linaro user
 
<code>
cd ~

mkdir domoticz

cd domoticz

sudo curl -L install.domoticz.com | bash
</code>
 
follow the wizard. 
- select http and or https access 
- select used ports. I choose 80 (https) and 443 (https) 
- select web root folder 

=Test Domoticz =

== old images: ==
First we are going to test if domoticz is correctly installed: 
 
While still in the domoticz folder (if not issue: '''cd ~/domoticz''') 
<code>
./domoticz 
</code>
 
domoticz should now start, to quit domoticz press '''control-c''' 
 
== current images ==
- open a browser, go to your website. (output of setup will show the ip and port info)

=Make Domoticz startup at boot time (Also needed for Web Update) - auto done for installation "current images"=
<code>
sudo cp domoticz.sh /etc/init.d

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh

sudo update-rc.d domoticz.sh defaults
</code>

'''Edit the startup script and point the DAEMON location to point to the installation folder:'''

<code>
sudo nano /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh </code>[ or use the vi editor ]

Change:
<code>DAEMON=/home/pi/domoticz/domoticz</code>

In to:
<code>DAEMON=/home/linaro/domoticz/domoticz
</code>

If you want to use another web interface port change:

<code>
OPTIONS="-www 8080"
</code> For example: 8070

'''Start Domoticz'''
<code> 
sudo service domoticz.sh start
</code>

Now connect with a browser <code> ip:port</code> to see if it is up and running.

=Updating Domoticz=
Use the Web Interface to update Domoticz (Setup->Check for Updates) 
Choose Beta or Stable in the application settings

Compiling from scratch with CubieTruck (dualcore 1 GHz) takes 38:30 min.
