how do you install this

[tbabula]

The repository lacks documentation on it. The easiest way to get it working is to try using docker-composer with parameters to launch it in detached mode and set it to always autorestart. If you are learning about docker, there is a few good free tutorials on the web how to do it. Of course you also need influxdb and grafana and there are tutorials on installing and setting them on the web. There are out of box docker images that have both indluxdb and grafana such as samuelebistoletti/docker-statsd-influxdb-grafana. Then you when you deploy brontinde's docker, you point it to IP address of your influxdb and use his json file to add dashboard to grafana.

Also make sure you have enabled traffic analysis enabled at least on host level.

hi i am trying to set this up using docker and when i comment the line ROUTER_SSL in settings.env it says

and if i uncomment the line and put the fingerprint obtained from chrome for my router it says edge2influx_1 | Traceback (most recent call last): edge2influx_1 | File "/app/influx.py", line 69, in edge2influx_1 | raise Exception(f"ROUTER_SSL {ROUTER_SSL} is invalid") edge2influx_1 | Exception: ROUTER_SSL (my hash) is invalid

Leave the ROUTER_SSL out and then use the fingerprint printed in the output of the failed container.

hi thanks for your response except i tried this already. the out put below i completely removed the ROUTER_SSL entry in .env. can u help me find where fingerprint is among the printed output? (see below)

whats very strange is i tried to go to the files located at /usr/local/lib/python3.8/ and they were not there?

It's a lot of errors but it's saying that the web interface isn't accessible, it's also the reason it isn't spitting out the fingerprint.

Can you access the EdgeMax interface at https://192.168.0.1/ ?

Please tell me you've at least changed the password for the default user?

its a privilege to have you helping me mr brontide. yes dont worry i have changed the password and i can access it from my pc. thanks for providing the information, i will now check if the docker is able to access my network with the hopes that it cannot and thats why it doesnt work. thanks for your help. i will try later tonight

[daniel2029]

after troubleshooting all this time, i have found the issue. this does not work on macOS :( as it works perfectly fine on my ubuntu VM.
