Installation

=== Basic installation instructions ===

Since Beta 2.4.6 (October 2018) the installation instruction changed. Main reason is that for most functionality PHP support in the web server is needed. The Domoticz web server doesn't support PHP. That means that Dashticz needs to be installed under a different web server with PHP enabled.
The installation instruction consists in two steps:

• Installation of a web server
• Installation of Dashticz v2

==== Installation of a web server ====

This example shows installation of Apache on Raspberry in it's most basic configuration: running at port 80.
Besides Apache also PHP needs to be installed, since it's used by the Calendar and Garbage module in Dashticz.

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apache2 sudo apt-get install php sudo apt-get install php-xml php-curl sudo systemctl restart apache2 ''Remark:
'' ''On some Raspberry configurations the installation of php is failing. In that case you can try the alternative installs under Advanced Installation [https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Dashticz_V2_-_Installation#PHP_installation_problems below]

Now check whether Apache is running by browsing to http://
You should see the Apache demo page.

==== Installation of Dashticz v2 ==== Example for Raspberry PI running Apache web server:
Assumption:

• Apache is running at http://192.168.1.3 on the default port 80 (but this can be any IP:port address)
  
• Domoticz is running at http://192.168.1.3:8084
  
  

First clone the dashticz repository to a folder of your choice:

cd /home/pi git clone https://github.com/robgeerts/dashticz_v2 --branch beta

After the installation is finished, go to the '''/home/pi/dashticz_v2/custom/''' folder, copy the CONFIG_DEFAULT.js file to CONFIG.js (mind the CAPITALS!), and edit it with the basics:

cd dashticz_v2/custom/ cp CONFIG_DEFAULT.js CONFIG.js nano CONFIG.js

Example of CONFIG.js:

var config = {} config['language'] = 'nl_NL'; //or: en_US, de_DE, fr_FR, hu_HU, it_IT, pt_PT, sv_SV config['domoticz_ip'] = 'http://192.168.1.3:8084'; config['domoticz_refresh'] = '5'; config['dashticz_refresh'] = '60';
