Error: Command timeout

[RHCPNG]

Hi guys,

I want to import my reactor sensors in the MSR addon for Home Assistant, but I can't find the app.js file anywhere. So now I don't know where to put the backup file.

I have not tried to put it in the main directory (config/reactor) yet. Wanted to know if I'm the only one with the problem.

Reactor addon: v0.0.8
MSR: 23063-c464b685
Home Assistant 2023.3.3
Supervisor 2023.03.1
Operating System 9.5
Frontend 20230202.0 - latest

I started with v0.0.7, have just updated everything. Still no file.

Hi @toggledbits,

I have now spun up a docker container, but I can't see the file either when I look in the directories of the volume. I try to connect to the docker using "docker exec -t -i <container> /bin/bash", but this doesn't work for nodejs containers (at least this is what I think is the case). I assume the install directory of reactor is not in the volume then.

Is the import feature available in the HA addon and docker container? What am I doing wrong?

Using the latest docker image.

Thanks, I'll try it. Didn't find the post when I searched for it.

I can confirm that these instructions work for docker.

This is however not a solution for the HA addon.

@mrw298 Can you take a look at what's necessary to provide the import feature for the addon, please?

@toggledbits Should these instructions still work? I did this successfully earlier, but I started over with a new docker container and now I can't get it to work.

I'm getting an error on the symlink creation:

"/bin/sh: /usr/bin/ln -sf: not found"

but "ln --help" works, so I guess it's not a PATH issue.

The node command doesn't work without the symlink. I'm getting this:

/opt/reactor # node tools/import_reactor_backup.js /var/reactor/20230318-reactor-config-backup.json openluup
Usage: /usr/local/bin/node /opt/reactor/tools/import_reactor_backup.js /var/reactor/20230318-reactor-config-backup.json openluup <reactor-backup-file> <controller-id>

Newer docker version now than last time: latest-23078-d592d400

[toggledbits]

The instructions linked say to use ln -sf not /usr/bin/ln -sf

[RHCPNG]

Yes, I know. Tried that first, of course. This was to check if it was a PATH issue.

[RHCPNG]

Can someone please check if the symbolic link command (ln) still works in the latest docker? I want to know if it's a problem with my container or in the image.

You never posted the original command (the one the instructions gave you), and the error message you got from it. You've only posted an experiment that you tried after, which isn't really relevant. Post the original ln command that's not working, and the output/error it generated.

That's because it is the same error, namely:

/opt/reactor # ln -sf /var/reactor/storage .
/bin/sh: ln -sf: not found

[toggledbits]

Odd. You're using only a space after the ln and before the -sf, right? It seems like it's not seeing the difference between the command and its argument, not separating the two, but in your prior post, the node command did interpret correctly.

Here's what it looks like in a container of mine:

pi@rpi4-1:~/Documents/docker $ docker exec -t -i reactor /bin/sh
/opt/reactor # ls
COPYRIGHT     LICENSE.md    app.sh        client        dashboard     docs          node_modules  reactorui     tools
INSTALL.md    app.js        buildstamp    common        dist-config   locales       package.json  server
/opt/reactor # ln -sf /var/reactor/storage .
/opt/reactor # node tools/import_reactor_backup.js
Usage: /usr/local/bin/node /opt/reactor/tools/import_reactor_backup.js <reactor-backup-file> <controller-id>
/opt/reactor #

No issues. Everything as expected.

Pff, solved. It was a copy/paste issue of some sorts. I removed the space and typed it again and now it works. Thanks for the help!
