Wow, I have never ran into anything soooo difficult and I have been messing with PC's since the Vic 20. I guess I am not a command line guy. I had to look up how to log into Ubuntu with root access so I could do things with the GUI.
So many issues and confusing statements surrounding HomSeer and a pure Linux installation. Especially with their own tech support calling this kind of installation a "Custom Install" and therefore will not support their own installation instructions. Their version of Windows installation is apparently not custom.
Even the instructions here in the first post do not include instructions on how to auto start the program on a reboot. I realize others have tried to fill the gap but how do we know if the instructions work or may cause problems with something else? Everything seems to be pieced together. I am not putting anybody down for trying but we need to come together and make something official so we all can see it and improve it if necessary. With only two versions of Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) supported, it should not be that difficult.
I created several instruction sheets for Vera over the years and have shared them on their forums. I would love to create some beginning to end complete instructions anyone, not just a Linux enthusiast, can use to install HS on Linux and without having to look everything up on how to do each step. It is also beneficial for all to see the directions and approve, and or correct as needed. As Open source should be.
If anyone is interested in helping me with creating these instructions, please let me know. Since I am no Linux user or a programmer this stuff is pretty difficult for me to figure out.but I am good at documenting and preparing an instruction set.
zwolf, you seem to know a lot about this and have helped me before with Linux problems. It would be great to collaborate with you. I totally understand if you are too busy but let me know if you can.
Just trying to help. Thanks.
