In this tutorial, we will be guiding you on how to install Domoticz on Clear Linux Latest. Domoticz is an open source home automation software that allows you to control and automate various devices, such as lights, switches, and sensors, from a central dashboard.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have Clear Linux Latest installed on your system.
Before starting the installation process, it is always a good practice to update the system to ensure that you have the latest security patches and bug fixes. To update Clear Linux Latest, run the following command:
sudo swupd update
Domoticz requires certain dependencies to be installed before it can be run successfully. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl devpkg-boost devpkg-mariadb
Once you have installed the required dependencies, you can download and install Domoticz. To download the latest version of Domoticz, run the following command:
wget https://releases.domoticz.com/releases/release/domoticz_linux_x86_64.tgz
After the download is complete, extract the contents of the tgz file using the following command:
tar -zxvf domoticz_linux_x86_64.tgz
Finally, move the extracted folder to the /opt directory using the following command:
sudo mv domoticz /opt/
To start the Domoticz service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start domoticz
You can also enable the Domoticz service to automatically start at boot time using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable domoticz
Once the Domoticz service is running, you can access the Domoticz dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080. If you are accessing the dashboard from a remote machine, replace "localhost" with the IP address of the machine running Domoticz.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Domoticz on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start configuring and automating various devices from the Domoticz dashboard.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
