InfluxDB host from documentation is not always correct #86

boxcee posted onGitHub

Problem/Motivation

When I installed InfluxDB addon, HA was not enable to connect because the host settings from the documentation were wrong.

Expected behavior

Better explanation where the host settings are defined/coming from.

Actual behavior

When installing InfluxDB, I set the host for the HA integration to the host mentioned in the documentation. This host however was wrong for me.

I found the correct host by running ha supervisor info and comparing the slug/repository keys of my addons. The host from the documentation matched the slug/repository of AdGuard and WireGuard, but not InfluxDB.

- description: Fast, modern, secure VPN tunnel

  installed: 0.3.2
  logo: false
  name: WireGuard
  repository: a0d7b954
  slug: a0d7b954_wireguard
  state: started
  version: 0.3.2
- description: Network-wide ads & trackers blocking DNS server
  icon: false
  installed: 2.4.2
  logo: false
  name: AdGuard Home
  repository: a0d7b954
  slug: a0d7b954_adguard
  state: started
  version: 2.4.2

  icon: true
  installed: 5.2.1
  logo: true
  name: Grafana
  repository: ccf28a08
  slug: ccf28a08_grafana
  state: started
  version: 5.2.1
- description: Scalable datastore for metrics, events, and real-time analytics
  icon: true
  installed: 3.7.3
  logo: true
  name: InfluxDB
  repository: ccf28a08
  slug: ccf28a08_influxdb
  state: started
  version: 3.7.3

Changing the host to ccf28a08-influxdb instead of a0d7b954-influxdb fixed it for me.

Steps to reproduce

Not entirely sure, to be honest. I would say:

Install AdGuard, install WireGuard, install InfluxDB.

Proposed changes

I don't really understand how the host is configured and how the supervisor works etc., but I propose to improve the documentation a bit for that case.

:wave: Thanks for opening your first issue here! If you're reporting a :bug: bug, please make sure you include steps to reproduce it. Also, logs, error messages and information about your hardware might be useful.

Not sure where you've got the add-on form, but ccf28a08 is not this repository. Therefore, the add-on you are running there is not this one (maybe a forked one?) and thus the documentation does indeed not match, as well, not this add-on.

@frenck not sure where I made a mistake though.

Here is a screenshot from the info view for the addon: https://imgur.com/gallery/zxJQmpe.

I understand what I did wrong. I added the community addons repository twice! And then removed the first one apparently.

Okay, that was not the issue.

Got some help from @ludeeus.

Tried to run this from the browser dev-tools:

document.querySelector("home-assistant").hass.callApi("GET", "hassio/supervisor/info").then(e => {console.log(e.data.addons_repositories)})

which yielded:

["https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository.git", "https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository"]

Deleting the first one (supervisor->addons->repositories) puts everything into the right place again.
