Homey Self-Hosted Server on Linux | Megathread

Homey Self-Hosted Server
22

The description states that the data is safe because it’s not in the container. That’s incorrect. So, how do I create a backup? The specified folder is empty :man_shrugging:

23

No data separately in ~/.homey-shs (or somewhere else if you configured that?).

(I have created a cron job that do a nightly backup in a script performing docker pause, backup of data and then unpause on mine).

24

The job is executed by Linux itself? And the entire container is backed up? A short guide would be great.

25

I am somewhat familiar with linux, but not docker so I asked chatgp for advice.

In the YML I am storing the data in a different place than default:
volumes:
- /srv/homey/data:/homey/user

Script:

bjornb@NUC:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/homey-backup.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -e

BACKUP_DIR="/var/backups/homey"
DATA_DIR="/srv/homey/data"
COMPOSE_FILE="/srv/homey/homey-shs.yml"
TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M")
BACKUP_FILE="$BACKUP_DIR/homey-backup-$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz"
KEEP_DAYS=14

echo "[INFO] Starting Homey backup: $TIMESTAMP"

# Stop Homey cleanly
#docker compose -f "$COMPOSE_FILE" down
docker pause homey-shs

# Create backup
tar -czf "$BACKUP_FILE" -C /srv/homey data

# Restart Homey
#docker compose -f "$COMPOSE_FILE" up -d
docker unpause homey-shs

# Remove backups older than KEEP_DAYS
find "$BACKUP_DIR" -type f -name "homey-*.tar.gz" -mtime +$KEEP_DAYS -delete

echo "[INFO] Backup completed successfully"
bjornb@NUC:~$

(I have not tried to do a an actual restore yet, but the tar.gz file does contain a lot of data).

The script is running nightly as a cron job.

thank you :ok_hand:

Hi, I just tried to set this up, but I’m not getting passed the initial setup of the SHS. I’ll type my setup first.

OS: Debian GNU/Linux 13.3 (trixie)
ARCH: x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon 890M
MEM: 96GB

Docker: 29.2.1, build a5c7197

Please note this server has two network interfaces. One listening on 192.168.1.150, and the other listening on 192.168.2.150. I have it set up this way due to wanting the server to host different things to different networks. I’ll be using the 192.168.1.150 network for this setup. My phone is also connected to this network.

Docker compose setup I’m using:

services:
  homey-shs:
    image: ghcr.io/athombv/homey-shs:latest
    container_name: homey-shs
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: host
    privileged: true
    environment:
      HOMEY_LOCAL_ADDRESS: 192.168.1.150
    volumes:
      - ~/.homey-shs:/homey/user

When I start the container with docker compose -f homey/docker-compose.yml up -d, I get the following logs:

~$ docker logs -f homey-shs

I can see that the homey self-hosted server is registered under my Homey account, under “my self-hosted servers”.

I keep getting the Error 500: jwt expired. Unsure how to fix this. I’ve tried using the docker run setup instead of docker-compose. I’ve tried repeatedly to remove the ~/.homey-shs directory and do a clean install (also removed it from my homey account, of course).

For the records all of this is happening in the timespan of a couple of minutes. Less than five. I’m not waiting an hour before continuing onto the next step. So a JWT expiry feels odd, as most of those stay active for at least like 10 minutes of inactivity.

It’s an odd issue, one that I can’t seem to find anything about on the forum. Does anybody have any clue on this issue?

I can advice one thing: when troubles, start simple
Using dual NIC’s and vlans can drive you nuts :zany_face:

I’d temporary disable the second NIC (192.168.2.150) and connect the machine and phone to a simple network (if possible).
Remove the 2 lines with
environment
HOMEY_LOCAL_ADDRESS

I don’t say this is the fix, but I suspect it’s network related.

Sounds like possibly a time sync issue?

This was it! Apparently I never installed systemd-timesyncd, so the server time was off by like 10 minutes. In my mind I was thinking it was maybe related to a domain issue or something, since I’ve had issues with JWT’s on that before, but I never realized the time might have been off.

Thanks!

Can’t seem to get the docker container to run when IPv6 is completely disabled on the host.

Based on other topics ipv6 seems to be needed for matter support.

33

Absolutely

But if one doesn’t want/need Matter/Thread, and doesn’t want to enable ipv6, SHS seems impossible to use.
Looks like Athom assumed “everybody wants Matter”?
