App Daemon update from 0.14 to 0.15 - need change in installation instructions
Hi,
Please find attached the screenshot for the update of AppDaemon and the folder structure is changing. Please update the instructions to reflect these changes.
Thanks
Amogh
This only applies to people using the AppDaemon add-on and HASSOS if I'm not mistaken?
In which case, this shouldn't require any update of documentation for qolsysgw since its documentation only has a link for the add-on setup, not a full guide!
@XaF there are instructions which specify settings in appdaemon.yml and apps.yml. Now these files are moved to addon_configs/xyz_appdaemon
Which part of the documentation are you referring too? The main documentation has been written with docker setup in mind (not HASSOS and addons), but should work for both. I can add a callout if there's a place that specifies paths, but I do not have / use the addons approach so won't be able to write something accurate. I'm open to a pull request to update the documentation though!
I have the same thing and using HASSOS. The QolsysGW-app is installed in a directory that AppDaemon does not use after the update. I managed to find that it was possible to point out to appdaemon where the apps are installed by adding "app_dir" configuration in the appdaemon.yaml file. Can this be a solution or? Not an expert in this topics I'm afraid.

That is surprising - could that be a HACS configuration change? I could add a disclaimer for installation location for manual installs, but that won't help for installations done through HACS (which is the preferred way) if it's not doing the right thing when using addons
EDIT: This indeed does not seem configurable in HACS: https://hacs.xyz/docs/categories/appdaemon_apps#appdaemon-apps-download-location
Don't you think it might be possible to just point the AppDamon application to the correct path?
You're right! Following your previous comment mentioning app_dir, seems that it would be the approach to take. I was able to find this other comment that suggests the same approach: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-appdaemon/issues/302#issuecomment-1816194738
So I guess the simplest solution to this is to add in AppDaemon configuration the app_dir parameter to tell it to behave as it always behaved before that latest update 😅
Will have to think about how to convey that in the documentation since I mostly wrote it with a docker manual setup in mind, while using that or HASSOS was pretty much the same idea.
It didn't work for me. Got some Mqtt issues. Might be a local problem for me but it seems like there is a complain about bad protocol in the logs
