Bug report

Describe the bug

When I try to install the config from the current ulanzi-easy.yaml file with ESPHome 2023.8.2, the installations aborts with the following error message when trying to convert the MatrixClock-Light8.bdf and MatrixClock-Chunky6.bdf fonts to Pillow format

There's a clue in your error message. Did you put the BDF font files on the same machine that is running ESPHome? They should be in a folder called 'fonts'.

lubeda commented 1 year ago

Normaly a missing font or wrong font path raises an other error. can you try to "clean build files" before recompiling?

CM000n commented 1 year ago

There's a clue in your error message. Did you put the BDF font files on the same machine that is running ESPHome? They should be in a folder called 'fonts'.

ESPHome runs as a Docker container and I have created a fonts/ directory with the fonts inside the ESPHome config directory that is linked to the Docker image.

I have already tried that. Unfortunately without success.

trip5 commented 1 year ago

If your ESPHome yaml files are all in esphome/config then that's a genuine error... but if your yaml files are in the esphome folder, you need to change the path under the font: section.

Sorry, I don't understand @trip5. ESPHome knows the path and it exists. If I tried to enter a path that does not exist, the error message would be the following:

No, extended file permissions do not change anything. Shall we continue the conversation in German? Maybe English would be better, in case someone with the same problem comes across this issue thread?

trip5 commented 1 year ago

I think lubeda is on the right track with permissions. Have you got Portainer? Sometimes I use it to get a shell inside the container and run tests like copying and deleting files. If the container shell has issues, ESPHome probably will too.

Sometimes, I just throw my hands up and run the container with --privileged and hope that works and try to fix permissions later.

Edit: looks like I actually am running the ESPHome container like that. Probably not the best solution but... sigh, linux...

lubeda commented 1 year ago

OK, so your error is either a local problem or a bug in esphome. I assume it's a local problem.

No need for portainer ;-)

docker exec -it esphome bash

I can't find a permission problem within the container either. The owners and group rights of the folders and files are set correctly, even recursively. So it must be something else.

CM000n commented 1 year ago

Interesting. Esphome seems to have created the correct files for MatrixClock-Light8.bdf. So the problem really seems to be more with the MatrixClock-Chunky6.bdf font.

root@esphome:/config/config/.esphome/font/31010cf8# ls -a -l

...:edit::.. Apparently not. When I comment out the MatrixClock-Chunky6.bdf font, it still doesn't work. :-/ So it creates the file for MatrixClock-Light8.pil in the right place, but can't find it and then stops compiling? wtf ^^

...::editedit::.. Ahh, it creates the file under /config/config/.esphome/font/31010cf8/ but tries to find it under /config/config/config/.esphome/font/31010cf8/. WTF again :-D

Please make sure it exists (full path: /config/config/config/.esphome/font/31010cf8/MatrixClock-Light8.pil
trip5 commented 1 year ago

Well I can confirm it's not the latest version of ESPHome... I just updated to official 2023.8.2 and it compiled just fine. I'm honestly lost to help you other than to paste from my own yaml which I can confirm compiles with the latest ehmtx too. Of course, this doesn't match the official yaml and I keep all my icons local so perhaps remove that before working with it.

I can say I keep the font: section much higher. Would that affect anything you think?

Sorry but I'm past my bedtime. Good luck. I'll check back later!

Thank you for your yaml config @trip5. But the problem really seems to be with ESPHome or the ESPHome Docker container and the "convert_bitmap_to_pillow_font" function. It is now also time for me to go to bed. I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

trip5 commented 1 year ago

I just wanted to swing by and say I did not have a problem with the ulanzi-easy.yaml file, provided I tacked this on at the end:

image: # here because ESPHome 2023.7.0 has broken something
    - file: ehmtxv2/1pixel.gif
      id: breaking20237

animation: # here because ESPHome 2023.7.0 has broken something
    - file: ehmtxv2/1pixel.gif
      id: breaking202371

All I can think is your ESPHome container is bad.

A year or so ago ESPHome gave me some hiccups and there were a lot of leftover garbage files so I copied out my yamls, external files, and secrets file... then deleted the entire config folder, removed the container, and started fresh.

lubeda commented 1 year ago

Can you check if the bdf file is ok. You can use a text editor, the first line should be "STARTFONT 2.1" not ". perhaps your pdf file needs to be downloaded again.

CM000n commented 1 year ago

The .bdf files seems to be valid. Can you please share your compose file, if you use docker-compose @trip5 ? I started all over again. But my container behaves the same.

My compose file looks like this:

version: "3.6"
services:
  esphome:
    image: "esphome/esphome"
    container_name: "esphome"
    hostname: "esphome" 
    restart: "always"
    command: "dashboard --username ${ESPHOME_USER} --password ${ESPHOME_PASSWORD} config/"
    volumes:
      - "${DOCKER_DATA}/esphome:/config"
    environment:
      - "TZ=Europe/Berlin"
      - "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
      - "LANG=C.UTF-8"
      - "LC_ALL=C.UTF-8"
      - "PLATFORMIO_GLOBALLIB_DIR=/piolibs"
      - "USERNAME=${ESPHOME_USER}"
      - "PASSWORD=${ESPHOME_PASSWORD}"
      - "ESPHOME_DASHBOARD_USE_PING=true"
    networks:
      - "bridge"
    ports:
      - "6052:6052"
    dns: 
      - "192.168.178.1"
networks:
  bridge:
    driver: "bridge"

and it always creates a folder structure like this:

root in 🌐 Openmediavault in data/docker_data/esphome
❯ tree
.

very wierd. My docker container always creates a config folder inside the config folder that is linked as docker volume. I think I'll close this issue here and open a new one in the ESPHome repo, as it seems to be a more general problem. I'll copy the new issue here later as a reference.

trip5 commented 1 year ago

Sure. Actually I have a bad (?) habit of avoiding docker files if I can do it via command line:

sudo docker run -d --name esphome --privileged --restart=unless-stopped -e TZ=Asia/Seoul -v '/home/trip5/docker/esphome/:/config/' -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --network=host esphome/esphome:latest

I also have a bad habit of using the host network (almost everything unless I need to re-map ports) and running privileged containers (actually just ESPHome, Home Assistant). I don't need a password because it's behind Authentik.

I'm pretty sure ping is on by default so you don't need to add it. Also your vars for PATH, LANG, LC_ALL, and PLATFORMIO_GLOBALLIB_DIR all appear to conform to the default (I checked mine with Portainer) so why bother specifying them? Same question for the COMMAND. You also don't specify an ENTRYPOINT... the default is /entrypoint.sh by the way. I don't know if there is some side-effect of specifying one but not the other...

Another difference I see is you're using an environment variable to pass the location of the config folder... I've always explicitly specified mine. Not sure if any of this will help you. In general, though, in my experience with docker, I've sometimes had some issues when specifying things that didn't need to be specified... Here's a pretty bare-bones compose file that I probably used before working out the command-line:

version: '3'

services:
  esphome:
    container_name: esphome
    image: esphome/esphome:latest
    volumes:
      - '/home/trip5/docker/esphome/:/config/'
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    restart: unless-stopped
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host

Thank you. I like doing things explicitly rather than trusting that they will work implicitly. ;-)
