Hubleys is an open-source dashboard for Home Assistant that runs on Node.js. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing Home Assistant entities, automations, and other integrations. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Hubleys dashboard on Arch Linux.
Before installing Hubleys dashboard, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
To install Node.js and Git, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S nodejs git
First, you need to clone the Hubleys repository from GitHub. To do that, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/knrdl/hubleys-dashboard.git
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the Hubleys directory and install its dependencies:
cd hubleys-dashboard
npm install
Next, you need to configure the dashboard by creating a .env file. To do that, run the following command in the terminal:
cp env.example .env
Then, open the .env file in a text editor and modify the following variables:
HASS_URL=http://localhost:8123
HASS_TOKEN=YOUR_LONG_LIVED_ACCESS_TOKEN
Replace http://localhost:8123 with the URL of your Home Assistant instance and YOUR_LONG_LIVED_ACCESS_TOKEN with your Home Assistant long-lived access token. You can generate a long-lived access token from your Home Assistant profile page.
Finally, you can start the Hubleys dashboard by running the following command:
npm run start
Once the dashboard is started, you can access it by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost:3000.
