Gladys Assistant is an open-source home automation system designed to make your life easier by allowing you to control your devices, automate routines, and receive valuable insights into your daily routines. It can run on various operating systems, including Linux. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Gladys Assistant on the latest version of EndeavourOS.
Before starting, ensure you have the following:
Before installing Gladys Assistant, ensure your system has the necessary dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following commands to update your system and install required dependencies:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S curl
Gladys Assistant requires Docker to run on Linux. To install Docker on EndeavourOS, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S docker
Once the installation process completes, start the Docker service and enable it to run at startup using:
sudo systemctl start docker.service
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
You can now download and run the official Gladys Assistant Docker container using the following command:
sudo docker run -d --name gladys -p 80:80 GladysAssistant/gladys
The above command will download and run the latest version of Gladys Assistant. Docker will automatically handle any dependencies, such as Node.js, that are necessary to run the container.
After running the above command successfully, you can access Gladys Assistant using your web browser by entering the IP address of your EndeavourOS system followed by :80 as the URL. For instance, if your host IP address is 192.168.0.20, the URL would be: http://192.168.0.20:80. You can also use the localhost URL by entering http://localhost:80 in your web browser.
That's it! You have successfully installed Gladys Assistant on your EndeavourOS system. You can now configure your devices, create routines, and enjoy the many features offered by the Gladys Assistant open-source automation system. If you want to stop the Gladys Assistant Docker container, type the following command in your terminal:
sudo docker stop gladys
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
