HS4 Homeseer Linux - Ubuntu/Debian Installer (APT repository)

[savageautomate]

I published a Homeseer (HS4) APT Repository to enable easy/simple installations and upgrades of Homeseer (HS4) for Ubuntu/Debian based Linux distributions.


TL;DR

Install Homeseer on your (Ubuntu/Debian-based) Linux system:

curl -sSL https://homeseer.sh/install | sudo bash

GitHub Repository:

• https://github.com/HomeSeerLinux/hom...inux.github.io

Open Source:

• This project is fully open source and anyone is welcome to contribute (via pull requests) to improve it.
• Feel free to post ISSUES directly to the GitHub repo if you encounter any problems/defects.

Complete documentation and instructions are included in the GitHub README file.
Let me know if you (the community) find this helpful. Thanks!

Will this work on Raspbian Buster or Bullseye?

It does work on Raspbian Bullseye. with Debian prereqs.

You might want to mention that it is a Docker install and not a standard Linux install of HS4. Not everyone here would be familiar with Docker.

There is both an install package for Debian-based Linux distros:

• https://github.com/HomeSeerLinux/hom...inux.github.io

and a distribution for Docker containers:

• https://github.com/HomeSeerLinux/homeseer-docker

In my original post the text of the link was correct, but the embedded hyperlink pointed to the wrong repo. Sorry for the confusion. It's fixed now.

Thanks, Robert

Thanks for posting your result confirmation. I remember testing it on a Raspberry Pi 4B, but I don't recall which version I was running at the time.

Thanks, Robert

If you previously installed HomeSeer linux using this APT repository (https://github.com/HomeSeerLinux/hom...inux.github.io) then yes the

apt update
apt install homeseer

commands should update your HomeSeer installation to the latest release available in the API repository. If you installed HomeSeer linux by any other means, then no, this will not update those installations.
