How to Install Gladys on Clear Linux Latest

Gladys is an open-source home automation assistant that enables you to automate your home with ease. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Gladys on Clear Linux Latest.

Before you proceed with the installation process, ensure that you have a Clear Linux Latest installed and running on your system. If you haven't done this, you can check the Clear Linux documentation for instructions on how to install it.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, ensure to have the following packages installed on your system:

• Docker
• Docker-compose
• git

You can install these packages using the following commands:

sudo swupd bundle-add containers-basic git

Step 1: Clone Gladys from GitHub

To begin, open your terminal and clone Gladys from GitHub using the git command:

git clone https://github.com/GladysAssistant/gladys-docker.git gladys

Navigate to the gladys directory:

cd gladys

Step 2: Rename the .env file

The Gladys image requires an .env file for configuring settings. Rename the sample .env file to .env:

mv .env.sample .env

Step 3: Modify the .env file

Open the .env file using your favorite text editor:

nano .env

Modify the following environment variables in the .env file:

# your external domain name
DOMAIN_NAME=your_domain_here
# your local IP address
GLADYS_INSTALLATION_ADDRESS=your_ip_here

Note: You can replace "your_domain_here" and "your_ip_here" with your actual domain name and IP address, respectively.

Step 4: Start Gladys

Once you've modified the .env file, you can now start the Gladys container by running the following command:

docker-compose up -d

You will see the Gladys container starting up. Wait for a few seconds until everything is up and running.

Step 5: Access Gladys Web Interface

To access Gladys, open your web browser, and navigate to:

http://your_ip_here:8080

Note: Replace "your_ip_here" with your actual IP address.

You should see the Gladys login page. Enter the default login credentials:

• Email: hello@gladysassistant.com
• Password: admin

Once you've logged in, you can start exploring Gladys and configuring it to your liking.

That's it! You've successfully installed Gladys on Clear Linux Latest.
