Almond

[john30]

This is the 27th "Almond" release of ebusd.

The new features are support for more than one level of load instructions and the option to use OS CA certificates for the MQTT client, as well as some bug fixes.

See ChangeLog and Wiki for details.

Debian 13 (Trixie), 12 (Bookworm), and 11 (Bullseye) install packages for amd64, 386, armv7 (Raspberry Pi 2/3/4), and arm64 (Raspberry Pi 3/4 64 bit) are attached and will also made available soon in the Debian repository as described here.

Variants of each binary with MQTT support have an additional "mqtt1" (for libmosquitto1) suffix in the name, whereas those without don't.

For Arch Linux, simply run makepkg in the contrib/archlinux/ebusd/ directory.

For Alpine Linux, run apk --repository=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community add ebusd.

The latest release is also available as multi-architecture Docker image on the hub with tag ebusd:latest.

Hi, link for Debian repository is broken (error 404) and also using apt update on ubuntu return the error

Failed to fetch https://repo.ebusd.eu/apt/default/bookworm/pool/main/e/ebusd/ebusd_26.1_amd64.deb Something wicked happened resolving 'repo.ebusd.eu:https' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

Regards

[john30]

repo.ebusd.eu has been shutdown due to lack of time

[tb3o3]

Thanks so much, @john30 . I'm sorry you're no longer putting ebusd in the main Debian repository; it was very convenient for updates. Thanks again for the great work you do developing ebusd.

[DrFrankBV]

What are the instructions for those you have used "repo.ebusd.eu" until now?
Is there an updated docu somewhere?

[DrFrankBV]

What happens to my existing installation when I do that? Will I loose my config or will it "just work"?

[DrFrankBV]

FYI: I'm using Unutu 24.04LTS "noble". Do I need to build or can I use one of the versions you are providing?

[DrFrankBV]

Hi John, can you please advise about the migartion process (as asked above)? I think I'm affected by the memeroy leak as my Homecontrol service where the ebusd is running crashes frequentliy (every 2-8 weeks) and I was unable for far to find the root cause.
I see in the past I had installed the "bookworm" version of the ebusd, moving forward I think I'll stick with that. Only remaining question is what will happen, if I just run the installer over my exitsing setup.

[john30]

using the downloaded package file for an update is just the same as doing it via apt-get update as both methods will preserver the configuration files.
wrt migration: basically you just need to drop the previous ebusd list with rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ebusd.list

[DrFrankBV]

Thanks very much. Worked fine, but I had to reboot the Shield adapter to make it work after the update (just as info).

repo.ebusd.eu has been shutdown by the maintainer to close quickly serveral open issues with Debian ebusd apt packages ...

To be frankly and honest: Unprofessional and poor behavior ...

@john30: However - Thanks for closing of repo.ebusd.eu - I have already switched to a much more trustable solution to save my time and my nervs ...

[john30]

To be frankly and honest: Unprofessional and poor behavior ...

ah yeah, great, really helpful comment here and in fact you're the one being unprofessional @heinemannj .

this is a perfect example of whats going wrong in the community: too many people just expect that guys like me continue to provide without getting merely adequate acknowledgement.

actually your comment confirms my decision to take down another time-wasting activiity of mine, as it was eating up my limited spare time.

thanks to you, I also stopped getting ebusd into the debian main repository

Thank you for your great work, John30!
I installed directly, after downloading the Trixie-package. (Your code above apt-get install https://github.com/john30/ebusd/releases/tag/26.1/ebusd-26.1_arm64-trixie.deb did not work for me)

Yes, it's unfortunate that the Debian repository had to be shut down. But no one can dictate the time open source developers spend on their work except themselves.

Perhaps someone else can take over the repository part?

With Claude's help, I created a script for myself that transfers the GitHub releases to a ‘local’ mirror:
https://github.com/nowrap/ebusd-mirror-setup

Maybe this will help someone.

Thanks a lot for your workaround!
