How to get started?

Hi,

How can non-HAOS users get started? I don't see a docker or docker-compose file anywhere, but afaik HAOS add-ons use docker images?

Thanks! :)

The readme has docker instructions, it's not structured very well it's a bit further down

[dekiesel]

There it is. Great, thanks!

Should the docker compose version for hc-login.py run in theory from windows?

My raspi (where hcpy will run in the end) is headless. So, for fetching the authentication via browser I try to use my windows computer. Building the docker image works fine. But running...

docker-compose -f compose.yaml run app /app/hc-login.py config/devices.json

... ends in an error message:

/usr/bin/env: 'python3\r': No such file or directory
/usr/bin/env: use -[v]S to pass options in shebang lines

P.S.
I have no device yet. Will get my dish washer on Tuesday and try to be prepared. So I started to read instruction and test the docker image.

It looks like a line ending encoding issue on windows (maybe caused by git auto converting the files) as \r indicates a carriage return so it maybe the file you have needs converting to Linux line ending (e.g. \n instead of \r\n). Something like Notepad++ can change line endings

Installing python for windows is another option.

You do need the device registered to get a usable file though...

Yes indeed, the line endings have been the issue. 🥇

I solved it by:

1. deleting my local repository
2. changing git configuration to not touch line endings (git config --global core.autocrlf input)
3. cloned repository again
4. build and run with docker compose

Works now. :-) Only the dish washer is missing for going ahead. ;-P

P.S.
The docker image is very huge with 311 MBit. Is it really needed that large?

It's using python slim, I guess the gcc install for the HomeAssistant bashio compilation probably bulks it up a bit, welcome to try and optimise it, maybe there are precompiled binaries 😅

I created a new discussion for it:
