Still using old forecast collector #342

Closed reimuell closed 2 weeks ago

reimuell commented 3 weeks ago

Hello, when I enter the new lines of configuration to use the new forecast collector and comment the old configuration lines in the. env file I can see in the log files that solectrus still tries to use old forecast provider. Of course this fails now because of missing configuration statements. I believe I miss a step to use this new forecast provider. thx

Please make sure:

1) FORECAST_PROVIDER=solcast is included in your .env 2) The new env-vars are referenced in your docker-compose.yml 3) You have the latest image by docker compose pull 4) You have restarted your containers by docker compose up -d

Hello, thank you. So the problem is obviously the yml file. I never touched this file and was not aware that I have to include environmental variables in there. That means I have to delete all variables starting with forecast and have to enter all new solcast vars manually. Plus editing. env file. May be you should write this in the readme file on github, für dummies -)) not familiar with docker. Any yml example, link on github? I could not find any. I scanned yml file on github but solcast vars are not included.

Danke /thx Reiner Müller

You are absolutely right, the configuration of solcast.com is missing in the hosting guide. I have just added it.

Hello, yes thx I changed my yml and. env this morning. I didn't remove old. env entries for forecasting, it's working fine according to the log. My problem was the API key and the recource ID, API key is a little bit hidden, so I mixed these two items. But know it's clear.

kind regards Reiner Müller

Just added support for solcast.com to the configurator, so this issue can be closed.
