Difficulty defining repeating annual period

[alminsk]

Good afternoon. I want to connect Reactor to HA. HA is installed on Proxmox. Proxmox is installed on a Beelink U59 PRO mini PC. Studied the installation instructions ( https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/Installation / ) but I didn't understand how to do it (I'm a weak linux user). Help, give detailed instructions on how to install MSR.
Reactor is a cool plugin, I use it on VeraPlus, but gradually I want to switch to HA.
Thanks.

The instructions are pretty specific. We could probably help you more if told us what you were stuck on/not getting, which installation method you were going to try, and what OS is installed on your Proxmox VM. If you installed HassOS (one step for both an OS and Home Assistant) on your Proxmox VM, I probably can't help you; maybe someone with experience using HassOS can chime in. My experience is that it's too locked down and you can't install anything on it, but someone may have figured out something else.

But tell us what you installed in the Proxmox VM first, and how you got Home Assistant installed and running.

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.

[alminsk]

Thank you for responding. I will be grateful for any help.

@alminsk FWIW, Home Assistant docs recommend a dedicated system to run Home Assistant.

[toggledbits]

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.

[alminsk]

Thanks everyone. So I will try to do so. Docker has already been installed as a second virtual machine. And how to properly install MSR in it.

[alminsk]

Installed in HA Porter through the integration of "HA Add-ons by alexbelgium" . Installed MSR in the Portainer and launched it. It started. But I can't log in to the Reactor web interface.

You need to publish Reactor's port (8111).

[alminsk]

I am publishing a port (:8111) But for some reason it is not displayed. What I'm doing wrong

[alminsk]

I saw errors in the logs. But I do not know what they mean.

[alminsk]

And for some reason the status is "unhealthy"

[toggledbits]

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?

[alminsk]

[alminsk]

Maybe I'm not choosing the right network?
I have it like this now:

[toggledbits]

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 ...
