For plain docker installations check appdaemon configuration, babel is a python package that needs to be present in the appdaemon container.

[joBr99]

for the app to work, the crucial part is that the appdaemon container is able to access the files downloaded by hacs

see the folder relationship between the appdaemon container and homeassistant

version: "3.5"
services:
  homeassistant:
    image: ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
    container_name: homeassistant
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - ./docker-data/homeassistant/:/config
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
    privileged: true
    restart: unless-stopped

  appdaemon:
    container_name: appdaemon
    image: acockburn/appdaemon:4.2.3
    environment:
      - HA_URL=http://your-homeassistant-url:8123
      - TOKEN="xxxxxx"
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - ./docker-data/homeassistant/appdaemon:/conf
    depends_on:
      - homeassistant
    restart: unless-stopped

Hi My installation of those 2 containers is correct . As I use docker and not HASS, I don’t have the menu you make reference of in the documentation So I don’t have any explanations how adding this babel package in the docker compose or anywhere else So please a little help for me ! Thanks Phil

Take a look at the Appdaemon documentation, you need to add the python package to the requirements.txt

[pbranly]

And where is or where do I have to create such file ?

[joBr99]

The Docker entrypoint script recursively searches inside the CONF directory for any files named requirements.txt.

Somewhere in the Appdaemon folder. Alongside appdamon.yaml is probably fine.

[pbranly]

Ok step per step … sorry if this is obvious for you but not for me … I just put babel in this file ?

[joBr99]

Yep

[pbranly]

Ok I have now such file I will see tomorrow if météo is in French Thanks and good night

[joBr99]

You need to restart the docker container and it should install babel on startup

[pbranly]

I did but I am not sure it worked as I don’t see additional package

[joBr99]

It's not an AppDeamon App, it's a system dependency and not going to appear there. Check the AppDeamon log / the date on the panel to see if it worked.
