Looking for advanced OMV users

[tomaae]

I'm looking for advanced OMV users who could help me implement plugins and some omv-extras.
What I'm looking for is help setting up those OMV features in a way most people use them or provide necessery API outputs from live system.

List of plugins that look interesting for HA integration:
openmediavault-compose (Docker) - Done / Separate portainer integration https://github.com/tomaae/homeassistant-portainer
openmediavault-kvm (VM) - Done
openmediavault-cputemp - Crashed integration if sensor is not available on OS
openmediavault-diskstats - rdd, may not be possible

openmediavault-downloader
openmediavault-nut (UPS)
openmediavault-tgt (iSCSI)
openmediavault-zfs

I'm so happy seeing, that you, even without using OMV yourself, are still putting time in this integration. So nice of of you!

And I would like to help out, as far, as I can. The trouble here is, I'm all, but no advanced. If I can help you somehow, I will need guidance.
I have cputemp and diskstats installed. But I do know nothing about the API. But I'm able to follow instructions.

So, if I can help you with SSH into the machine, enter a command and get some output, I would happily do that.

No need to know API, just helping me configuring OMV in my develoment environment is enough.
cputemp and diskstat are probably most easy ones, I just need to see if there is anything to confugure from OMV side and where are the information for those/what is useful to have in HA.
Since it has been years since last I used OMV, I know very little about new versions. Also, with having VM only, I cant test things like cputemp most likely.

[tomaae]

testing current master would be helpful too. it went through major rework so there may be issues.
I have it running nonstop on my QA envinroment with simulated load, but that is just not the same.

[BebeMischa]

Installed MASTER now. As far as I see in the first 10 minutes, all looks OK. I will report, if something goes wrong, making a separate issue. There is one minor issue, but that has been there in last normal version also, will make new issue for that.
And, MASTER still does not see "Update's available".

[tomaae]

Update sensor does work in master, I have tested it. It broke because omv changed it grin binary value to number of updates available.

[BebeMischa]

Maybe have to wait a little longer?

[tomaae]

Works for me. You even have same OMV version I do based on other ticket. We will need to debug this one too to figure out whats happening.

[tomaae]

I will need help with openmediavault-cputemp, cant simulate it within proxmox.

[BebeMischa]

Tell me, what to do about CPU temp... ;-)

And I'm making an issue about the update sensor...

Can you tell me where in OMV UI I can find info from these 2?
openmediavault-cputemp
openmediavault-diskstats

I can probably look up code I need you to run based on that.

[BebeMischa]

CPUtemp can, as I know, only be added to your Dashboard. Click right upper corner the person symbol (user settings), click dashboard, check CPUtemp, click save.
It will appear on the dashboard.
(Note, a lot of people complain on OMV forum, that the sensor does not work. Mine does not work also, it shows 29 Celsius always)

Diskstats under diagnostics - performance statistics- disk usage.

[tomaae]

can you run latest master and look into log? there should be entry CpuTemp with something.
no need to run as debug, its regular print.
for me it just show "CpuTemp: None", but thats probably because I'm using VM.

[tomaae]

Actually, cputemp will return code 500, so it will keep crashing integration if its not available. so we may have to skip on that sensor

[tomaae]

@BebeMischa do we have any showstoppers for a release right now?

[BebeMischa]

Not on my system, as far as I see... ;-)

[tomaae]

1.4.0 is out now, been a while since last release.
Now it will be about new features.

Please add cputemp back as an option. It is important thing for me. This plugin working fine in my raspberry omv installation. To monitor omv cputemp from my HA host I'm using legacy SSH console command integration which has not reliable functionality. So if your integration will support cputemp then I will remove that obsolete integration. Thank you!

cant do that as it returns code 500 when sensor is not available. that crashes api.

[BebeMischa]

Just a confirm - 1.4.1 works fine here too ;-)

[tomaae]

oh yea, it should. its just permanent fix for any kind of weird inputs that are supposed to be integer or float.
learned a lesson, can't trust OMV API :)

it can be a (switched off by default) option in integration settings. So only specific users may turn on if required

[tomaae]

I see compose integration is pretty much useless and probably not used much.
I think we may need separate docker/portainer integration, as it is not really integrated into OMV and could be useful in other setups.

[tomaae]

@slakouz
Cant have plugin that crushes integration like that. I will gladly implement it once plugin returns correct data/no data with error, instead of internal server error code.
Code 500 is supposed to mean that application server crashed, or similar. Not that there are no data.
If you know how to report it to community plugin people/plugin code owner, feel free to do so and link the issue/PR here.

[BebeMischa]

usual place to report issues is here https://forum.openmediavault.org/ ;-)

its community plugin, not official one, right?

[BebeMischa]

I just don't know of any other place :-)

[tomaae]

I just don't know of any other place :-)

Probably on their github? Not sure about their support policy.

[BebeMischa]

The official bugtracker is here, but I'm not sure, if community addons are handled there too...

I monitor the CPU temp of my OMV server using an SSH sensor based on this:

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-monitor-proxmox-cpu-temp/245050

I have found it to be very reliable.

[slakouz]

Here is place to report issues for cputemp plugin
https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/openmediavault-cputemp/issues
Sorry I can't report there because I was not see this issue in my system

[tomaae]

For those interested, since there is no docker/portainer integration into OMV UI/API, it cannot be part of this integration.
I have started planning on new docker integration, which will be using portainer API for security and compatibility reasons.

If you are using portainer (not just on OMV) and are interested in testing/giving feedback, check this topic

Base concept is already done + endpoints sensors.
