Help. Installing Reactor on Home Assistant.
-
Good afternoon. You're right. I did the installation of the Virtual Machine Home Assistant OS in proxmox using Proxmox Helper Scripts ( https://tteck .github.io/Proxmox / )
Here is the version of my system
Here is the script that I installed in proxmox
You say that you will not be able to install Reactor on the Home Assistant OS VM. What should I do then? I'm ready to reinstall HA. Which version is better to install and in what way? To be able to work with Reactor.

OK. Unfortunately, that's probably the install about which we know the least, but it has been done successfully, as documented in this post and those that follow. The idea is to install Portainer in HassOS, and once that's done, you will be able to pull and install Reactor (MSR) as a docker container managed by Portainer.
-
Thanks for the answers.
I am only at the beginning of the path and can completely reinstall everything. Which version of Home Assistant do you recommend to install so that Reactor would work without problems. And in what way.
I will be very grateful for detailed instructions or for a link to the instructions. -
I would install Portainer as done under the HassOS you already have running, per the other linked (above) thread, and then you can install Reactor using the available docker images and the information also provided by that thread.
-
When portainer is installed on HassOS, this is considered as a not supported HA install. This could give some trouble updating in the future.
Since you are using proxmox, I would make 2 virtual machines.
One to install HA using the HassOS script you have. And the other to install docker and portainer on which you can install MSR as explained by toggledbits.
This way you can also use docker for all other sort of projects which are not related to HA without interfering with it.
-
You need to publish Reactor's port (8111).
-
I don't know/use Portainer, but you didn't show your Volumes tab. Did you create a directory for your config and data and bind it, per the installation instructions?
-
That volume binding doesn't look right to me. Again, I'm not a Portainer user, but I would think that the path
/var/reactor
would be mentioned as related to the binding, since this is what Reactor is using internally within the container. It looks like you may have copied something from the Home Assistant configuration, but that's not right. I bet the/mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant
directory does not even exist in your new VM, because Home Assistant is not installed in that VM. You can't copy-paste/borrow from the Home Assistant configuration and get a successful Reactor configuration; different products, different configuration requirements. The Reactor installation instructions for docker show in the examples a Reactor data directory simply created in a regular user home directory. This is what you want. That directory (e.g./home/username/reactor
) should be bound to/var/reactor
in the container.Your network configuration is also suspect/incorrect. Again, it looks like you copied from Home Assistant's instructions, rather than using the Reactor instructions. The network mode is typically "host". If that doesn't work, you can try "bridge".
Can any of the Portainer+Reactor users please chime in here with some help for this user? Screen shots would be helpful. @black-cat @Fanan @vezinpi ...

I have created such a catologist. /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant
I tried to install different networks

@alminsk I use portainer succesfully and have the same volumes setting as you. I followed a guide from someone long time ago, and it's been a "do and forget" thing. I'm not a programmer, so I can't tell why somethings are as they are.
My network setting are different:
My setup is on a HA Blue (odroid n2+) and these values are also different:
Under Command & logging everything is the same except for the last line:
I hope this helps... As I wrote, I'm not the expert here, or know what every parameter means. Best of luck!
