i did this in an lxd container on container station on my qnap nas. i get to the last part to pull up the ip and nothing happens.
i saw in another thread to do ip a and i get this
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

how do i get the container to be set to my ip of my name which is 192.x
Ralph. Using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) won't work in this case because your WSL will be running in a NAT and won't be reachable inbound easily from your HE Echo Speaks app. If you want to do this on Windows, install an Ubuntu server as a Virtual Machine using Hyper-V and you will be okay. WSL is a great ad-hoc utility to have in any event.
after reading/watching i still was not 100% sure what i was doing. I switched the container from NAT to Bridged and then did IP A and was able to see that it was given an IP address. so i used that IP and it all worked.
Sure, virtualbox is fine. Hyper-V on Windows is a better performer than VirtualBox, but if you are running Windows Home than Hyper-V is not an option. Just install Ubuntu 22.04 server with the ssh server only. You don't need the full up desktop overhead. Personally, I install these type apps in a LXD container, but that requires having a Linux server. Honestly, I believe that the more home automation that you do, the more instances of locally served applications you will have to stay out of the cloud.
Here's a taste of what one of my little servers is running. Every one of these apps is a LXD container which is like a super lean VM running on a $270 Ryzen 5 small form factor system with 32GB of RAM and a 500GB NVMe.
hello everyone, even in Italy we are anxious about Heroku and echo speaks! I was thinking of buying a raspberry pi, is an old version enough or should I necessarily buy the newer one? for example, is a PI model 3 b sufficient?
Iām using a RPi 3b and it works great. Another nice advantage is that I set the RPi up to use WiFi only so I can put it anywhere in my house without having to plug it into an ethernet port.
@vmsman Maybe you should copy this to a new topic so it is easier for others to find - something like "Easy Echo Speaks server on a Raspberry Pi - Goodbye Heroku!" Something like that.
I will let you do that if you think it is a good idea.
It's a well-described phenomenon with respect to RPi's, unfortunately. You'll probably notice that Amazon listing, even if shipped by Amazon, is sold by a marketplace seller.
I used to get a Raspberry Pi Zero for 99 cents every time I went to MicroCenter. I have a box of them somewhere. Maybe I can sell them and retire! Wait .... I'm already retired.
