Hi Fourdee, can you include Domoticz to the DietPi software list? They have improved there installtion method and now is fully installed with 1 command. I already tested it and works great on DietPi.

sudo curl -L install.domoticz.com | sudo bash

Need to run domoticz on dietpi. Please help

You could try to follow this guide.

I have tried it once and got it working but I switched to Home-Assistant which is much better - personal opinion.

Would be - really - nice if Domoticz becomes available!

🈴 Does not support custom APT lists dir, but this can be contributed easily, workaround as done via symlink works
🈺 Installer is interactive, install dir can be chosen, HTTP and/or HTTPS can be selected.
🈴 Installed sysvinit service fails on Stretch+ where libssl1.0.0 library is not available:

Mar 08 21:48:05 VM-Buster domoticz.sh[1233]: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/domoticz/domoticz: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

• I guess for using current libssl1.1, binaries would need to be recompiled 🤔.

🈺 Luckily DietPi-Software ships libssl1.0.0 as backwards-compatibility package, since there were some more software titles with the same issue.

• Both, HTTP and HTTPS work fine for web UI access (besides default cert is not trusted of course).

Okay while this works generally, it shows there there is quite some update required for the official installer, especially a systemd unit would be nice.
For now I would skip the installer and implement it manually, which is not very hard indeed:
🈯️ Pre-compiled binaries for all architectures we support: https://www.domoticz.com/downloads/

• Great is that they use the same uname -m-based naming scheme + ARMv6 is supported by the armv7l binaries obviously (the installer replaces armv6l by armv7l before starting the download).
• Issue with libssl1.0.0 persists, for now we can install our workaround package, and when someone finds time build it for modern libraries.

🈯️ systemd unit: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Linux#Option_2:_Systemd_Alternative_.28Preferred.29

Sadly there seem to be no native way to separate install and configs? However minor issue, reinstalls will just follow the internal updater and merge new files with the little downside that old/obsolete files will stay in place.

PR up, but not yet ready for testing: #3415

[MichaIng]

Okay PR now ready for testing. If one wants to try (Do a dietpi-backup first since this includes DietPi update to development version!):

dietpi-backup 1
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'DEV_GITBRANCH=' 'DEV_GITBRANCH=dev' /DietPi/dietpi.txt
dietpi-update 1
dietpi-software install 140

Online docs: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=23065#p23065

EDIT: Merged into dev branch, fine tuning can be done outside the PR/branch

I was testing installation on RPi3B+ as well as VM and got the following error message during installation

[  OK  ] DietPi-Software | Comment in /mnt/dietpi_userdata/domoticz/domoticz.conf converted to setting: userdata_path=/mnt/dietpi_userdata/domoticz
useradd: group 'dealout' does not exist
chown: invalid user: ‘domoticz:domoticz’

This leads Domoticz to fail during start

@Joulinar
Many thanks for testing. Lol dumb typo by me, it's dialout. Quick addition after I ran all tests already.

[MichaIng]

Fixed: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/commit/d05d611e8c85201fe93ea29602d69cc520848e32

sed -i 's/dealout/dialout/' /boot/dietpi/dietpi-software
dietpi-software reinstall 140

[Joulinar]

ok looks fine now
