Home Assistant Add-on: ioBroker

Installation

After installation, and successful startup, the ioBroker instance should be available at port 8081. If your HA instance is running with SSL support, the OPEN WEB UI button might not work correctly.

Note: As this image is not based on the official home assistant add-on images the Supervisor has some delay on the add-on state (i guess this is the reason). It might be up and running while the Info tab is not aware of this right now. Page reload might help.

Updating `js-controller`

The bundled js-controller is not (always) the most recent version. (Thanks to tintim #21).

Updating can be archived manually via portainer or by using the eval setting.

Manually: Jump into the container via portainer and run line by line:

maintenance on
iobroker update
iobroker upgrade self
curl -sL https://iobroker.net/fix.sh | bash

Configuration

`eval` (string)

Allows to pass some bash commands to run every time before the start of ioBroker.

This can be used e.g. to upgrade the js-controller.

Example:

eval: "iobroker update && iobroker upgrade self"

You might want to disable this after a run.

Only use when you know what you are doing!

TODO

Get the panel integration working (if this is possible)
Use some official base image (maybe running the buanet dockerfile onto office image work)

Technical notes

The buanet docker image contains some pretty useful startup script.

To ensure data stays persistent across restarts I simply softlink /data to /opt/iobroker. I removed some check that was not compatible with the symlink and not needed in our case. I added the unmodified version as a reference.
