shelve erroring when running container

billykwooten commented 5 years ago

Shelve is bombing out inside the container when trying to run it.

I would also say we need some documentation here, it took me about an hour and a reddit post you had to see you were volume mounting the configuration and passing it into the auth_file variable. Also took me a while to figure out that we needed a shelve DB file vs a plain json auth file using debugger in intelliJ.

[root@xxxxxx ecobee_exporter]# docker run --restart always -v /root:/config sbrudenell/ecobee_exporter --api_key XXXXXXXXX --auth_file /config/ecobee.db

+1, it'd be lovely to have some clear instructions on how to get the auth db set up. mrala/ecobee_prometheus_exporter handles the first-time setup very well, as one example.

sbrudenell commented 5 years ago

hmm. So the library we're using is a little janky for initial setup, and the one mrala is using is janky in interpreting data.

I see that in order of most recent push, there's:

I will give that most recent one a try, when I get a chance.

sbrudenell / ecobee_exporter
