In order to run the software on Python 3.5 or higher, the installer has to be run with an extra parameter. This is needed in order to install all the needed Pytho 3.5+ modules.
After that, the start up command in the file /etc/rc.local
needs to be adjusted. By default the installer is using Python 2.7. During the installation the used Python version is in the left upper corner.
cd /home/pi/TerrariumPI
sudo ./install.sh 3
sudo ./start.sh 3
And change the command in /etc/rc.local
from
/home/pi/TerrariumPI/start.sh
to
/home/pi/TerrariumPI/start.sh 3
In order to run the webinterface on port 80 in stead of 8090, you can install nginx and use the vhost configuration in the contrib folder. Execute the following commands:
sudo apt install -y nginx
cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
sudo rm default
sudo ln -s /home/pi/TerrariumPI/contrib/nginx.conf terrariumpi
sudo service nginx reload
This should make the web interface be accessible on http://[terrariumpi_IP]. Either use port forwarding on your router, or register your pi at dataplicity and use their wormhole feature to make your Pi accessible on the internet.
If you see the following errors during startup of the software after a reboot, that is somewhat normal. The OS random number generator is not yet ready in order to create secure connections. This will become normal working again after 30 seconds till 1 minute. Just leave the software running and it will become steady.

If you want to exclude a sensor from the average calculation for X reason, this can be done by manual editing the configuration in the settings.cfg
file.
So edit the file settings.cfg
and look for your sensor that needs to be excluded. Every sensor configuration starts with [sensor_SOME_ID]
line. Below that line you can than add a new line with: exclude_avg = True
and save the settings file.
Then the final step is to restart TerrariumPI and the sensor will be excluded from the average calculation. This can be checked by looking at the sensor graph. A small blue badge will indicate that it is in exclude average mode.
Example:
[sensordcd784579ab801750421dd3634d69fd5]
address = 28-0315b2966fff
alarm = True
alarm_max = 0.0
alarm_min = 0.0
error = False
hardwaretype = w1
id = dcd784579ab801750421dd3634d69fd5
limit_max = 100.0
limit_min = 0.0
max_diff = 25.0
name = Temp2
type = temperature
exclude_avg = True
By default all logging is done in the folder log
where the actual log files are written to a temporary memory share. This is done to reduce the write wear on the SD card. A downside is that when the Pi reboots, all log info of that day is gone. During the night, the log file will be archived and that is stored on the SD card. So archived log files will survive reboots.
In order to change the default logging of TerrariumPI you only need to create your own custom logging configuration file with the name logging.custom.cfg
. So start with:
cp logging.cfg logging.custom.cfg
And start editing the logging.custom.cfg
file with an editor. After editing restart TerrariumPI and the new logging will be loaded.
In order to enable debug messages add the fileHandlerDebug
handler to the handlers
in section [logger_root]
In order to enable (remote) syslog logging add the syslogHandler
handler to the handlers
in section [logger_root]
. Then you have to configure to use either the local syslog server or a remote syslog server. By default it uses the local syslog. To use remote change:
'/dev/log'
to ('hostip',portnr)
(take care with quotes)
Next you need to tell Syslog which facility it is using. The default is LOCAL6
. To enable this, create a file in the folder /etc/rsyslog.d
for example:
/etc/rsyslog.d/terrariumpi.conf
And add then:
local6.* /var/log/terrariumpi.log
Finally restart rsyslog and you should receive log messages from TerrariumPI
