Installing Domoticz as a FreeBSD Jail on TrueNAS
The Basics
- follow the instructions here
- install those additional packages:
- lua54
- cereal
when launching Domoticz, I got a 400 Bad Request when connecting on
http://domoticz:8080
that's because Domoticz couldn't find the root folder.
Following the excellent Domoticz article about command line parameters, all I had to do was specify the root folder:
-wwwroot <path to Domoticz' WWW>
so in the startup script:
command="bin/${name} -wwwroot /home/domoticz/domoticz/www"
What's missing
I'm using a Zigbee USB key, as well as an RFXcom (also connected via USB).
I haven't figured out yet how to make Domoticz see them from the jail, even
though there are some threads
here
or
here
discussing it.
This is not super high on my priority list, but I'd like to move my Domoticz instance off the Raspberry Pi it's currently running on, to a FreeBSD Jail: I recently had to reinstall Raspberry Pi OS (Debian) and Domoticz on a new SD Card, and restore a backup, as the SD Card decided to die all of a sudden...
