it compiles into a docker image, so MAC not relevant. Problem was I got the code from GIT using the zip file, which I unpacked, I saw the git submodule lines in the build.sh it was them that failed, so by the time steps 1-> 32 started as part of the docker build . -t matt I already had parts missing which then broke everything. It's building at the moment... G

think i solved it... the copy/clone by downloading zip... seems to give you different than the git clone [email protected]:victronenergy/venus-docker.git command. I now got the first couple of lines showing with submodule which was not there previously. will advise. G

my bad, ye I did this, but I did it by downloading and unpacking the clone/download from GIT web site, and not at command line using git clone. ... otherwise I would not have had the build.sh command if you look at what you get those directories are all empty. G

hehehe nope, as there was no mention of doing it in the GIT page, was wondering/looking for something like that, wondering if it was all being pulled via the docker pull commands, let me retry. G

I see in Dockerfile # dbus COPY dbus-tools/dbus /usr/bin/dbus COPY dbus-system.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/victron.conf that dbus line is the 9th command line so that aligns the the error message 9/31 filed. if I look in /Users/george/Downloads/venus-docker-master/dbus-tools it's empty. Also notice this long directory.... /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder228278301/dbus-tools/dbus see whee it is actually located. / italic above. I've uploaded my build log. mqtt-build.txt

Removed the html5 bits... ---> a0b861e8ea2e Step 9/31 : COPY dbus-tools/dbus /usr/bin/dbus COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder228278301/dbus-tools/dbus: no such file or directory Georges-MacBook-Pro.local:/Users/george/Downloads/venus-docker-master > G

./build.sh is failing... hate this part of trying to figure out whyyyyy G

Plonkster, see PM

Ok, got the clamp meter... Can/will plug into Multiplus II (which will happen to be right next to my main DB) ... Around what lead do i clamp the SCT-013-0000 though, main Feed, after the CG. G

I'm going to connect my panels in either 5 arrays, each being 2 panels in series or 3 arrays of 3 in series or 4 arrays of (2s/2p) what are you using to measure each arrays V and Amp? (thinking something i can connect onto a Rpi to be able to push the values onto a MQTT subject to log and graph it) G

Hi guys I happen to have a couple of these flying at home. how where would I connect them ? assuming they plug into the VenusGX. G

Paul ... Question on MQTT, being a NOOB myself... #1 Can you record messages to a file, to then be submitted to a mosquito server, ie test messages ? #2 Can the CCGX / VenusGX be configured to write messages out to a file, (to be used above) Im looking for a test data stream/subjects to subscribe to to help with Node Red / MQTT / Python / Go / <device, ie Sonoff> development ie playing... G

We can let Paul get remote access to mine once it is deployed... G

Not sure if any of the owners of Victron systems are aware, Integration with NodeRed is coming, it's going to be more than just publishing via MQTT. https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/issues/378 G

my thinking, understanding.... with the CG, because it data connected to the VenusGX you will be able to get that data from the MQTT / subjects subscribe-able on the VenusGB and the CG is 60Amps. G

... Install one very bright RED light.... to say on Batteries now... G

hear hear. agree, thanks for helping a noob graduate just that little bit to bit more knowledgable questions... assumptions, and thumb sucks. G

Paul Can you maybe advise, does the VenusGX also have this "MQTT subject feed", as it's the higher more capable solution I'd think so. Is the VenusGX HW into network or Wifi ? G

Paul, is all your interfacing with the Victron API/MQTT based... I don't see the Victron on the ICC supported list, so guessing you not running their APM stack? The sonof's you got is just FW Flashed, it's not their units. you running Misquito on a Rpi guess? Just confirming what i think you said. G

... see PM. G

... TTT did I just graduate to the next level of understanding ? ye how much finger on pulse i will be able to have is still to be seen, ye the Victron with supply sharing/blending will be a nicer solution, but alas, the bank account said take a hike... G

CB's ? AC's ? hehehe, you in trouble allot with SWAMBO? G

ok, so how do i auto isolate from grid ...when on solar or battery. and then auto switch back when grid goes live again. G
