you might have trouble updating hubidash later on. At least it will require more precise actions that blunt replacement of files. But at least you are getting somewhere.

Thank You @Royski. If I wasn't 4000 miles away I'd come take you out for a beer.
You too @good.looking.blues .
This is some next level stuff. I thought I was smart, rooting my android and flashing my own router firmware.
Got it going :beer: time

Glad its working!! I'm really loving this, and just created a little remote for my TV etc. Much faster to use than my Harmony remote (or trying to find it first that is).

Bit of a learning curve, getting used to the Tags as a filter rather than using mulltiple Dashboards or pages. But I'm now really liking that aspect. :+1:

Meh, I just started with Unraid and figured I have docker built in, so instead of spinning up an RPi, I could use the Unraid server I have running. I think it actually was close to working. Unraid runs Linux 4.0, don't know if that's compatible with Hubidash or does it not matter because of docker.

If all the hours I spent on my installing are any indication of your time spent, that was very generous of you.
Hubidash works super fast.

Has anyone installed this on an RPi that's already running Node-Red? NR's running a lot of automations and I'd hate to break it. Thanks

I contemplated this, as mines on a Pi 4. But as its also node based, I thought best not bugger up something thats working perfectly.

Yea, that's where I'm at, an RPi 4 with a working NR config that I don't want to break. Thanks for the feedback.

I am now testing a bash script which will make my Hubidash manual obsolete. It will install everything you need and set up the MongoDB just as it needs to be set. All you will have to do is change few lines of admin credentials, upload it and run it once.

I will post an update here, when it is ready.

Hopefully the terribly long process of setting the Hubidash up will not steer people away any more.

My bash script will also solve this problem. The substitute package that you have chosen is deprecated.

Hubidash now has an installation script which will solve most of the problems with installation and save time drastically. Package and instructions are now available on hubidash.com

New update instructions have been added to Hubidash - upgrade your Hubitat

Version 1.2.0 introduces automated (not automatic) updates.
Updating to version 1.2.0 should be the last time you do the process manually.
Instructions have been updated.

Please note, that the automated updates will only work if you have installed the Hubidash with new installation script (v 1.1.0 or higher) and not by physically replacing the files as it had to be done before 1.1.0.

If you have not done that - you need to install it the exact way described in http://www.hubidash.com. Yes, you'll have to completely delete your current server folder (except .env (keep it for new installation process)). And dont worry - your Mongo Database will remain with all it's content.

Guys, I'm just curious - how many people are actually using Hubidash? For now I am certain only about one person (except me) :smiley:

I will be checking it out as soon as I've dockerised it :slight_smile:

Your install script has made it much easier to create a Dockerfile, hopefully will get to it in the next few days.

I should be trying it out real soon as well. Kids in the way because of Spring break :sob:

Any idea how much RAM I'd want on the Raspberry Pi? Looking at picking up a 4b, but figuring out which to settle on.
