 @hexa:lossy.network | the context is super clear 😄 | 01:55:20 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | esphome somewhere uses path.relative_to("/var/lib/private/esphome") | 01:55:39 |
 laurynasp | Yeah, I was thinking that if I was to go forward with ESPHome dashboard (services.esphome), then I guess my best option would be PR to add an option for systemd services pre-Exec, where I could cp a file across. Would feel hacky.
However, my ultimate goal is to automate managament of esp32 devices, so if there is better way, then i would go with that | 01:55:42 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | and path is not inside that directory | 01:55:46 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aesphome%2Fesphome%20relative_to&type=code | 01:58:06 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | probably in dashboard_settings.py | 01:58:15 |
| @hexa:lossy.network |
Raises ValueError if not relative to ESPHome config folder
| 01:58:23 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | the esphome service to me feels like a stateful way of dealing with configs | 01:59:04 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | you can certainly instruct your secrets management to install the files into /var/lib/private/esphome though | 01:59:26 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | just a symlink won't do | 01:59:31 |
| laurynasp | just doing a test run to check that ESPhome is happy with secrets.yaml being outside the config dir | 02:16:33 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | good luck 😄 | 02:18:18 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | if not you could probably file an issue upstream or submit a patch | 02:18:31 |
| laurynasp | Did you say you run dashboard from dev shell? is you config for that public?
P.s. I ended up using esphome service, because it worked, and I was not able to find any easy / detailed tutorial on how to flash esp32 devices.
The simplest alternative i found (but haven't tested) on https://nixos.wiki/wiki/ESP-IDF is
nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop github:mirrexagon/nixpkgs-esp-dev#esp32-idf
Is your set up similar?

| 02:22:57 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | no, there is plain secrets in there ;D | 02:23:23 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | * no, there is plain secrets in there 😄 | 02:23:24 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | although only for my iot wlan | 02:23:37 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | which probably isn't much use | 02:23:42 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | esphome is the most declarative and simple way to maintain a bunch of esp8266/32 devices | 02:24:25 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | ESP-IDF is the framework by espressif | 02:24:40 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | you'll need to be somewhat fluent in C with that | 02:25:09 |
| laurynasp | I am glad you saved me from a rabbit hole! | 02:25:15 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | https://git.darmstadt.ccc.de/cda/co2-sensor-workshop/-/blob/main/flake.nix?ref_type=heads | 02:26:04 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | this is a flake for an esphome project | 02:26:11 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | if that helps | 02:26:23 |
| laurynasp | Thanks - I will try it out tomorrow | 02:28:46 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | cuda cache? https://nix-community.org/cache/ | 14:08:27 |
 @qbit:tapenet.org | isn't there a buildPythonPackage like thing that's exposed from in buildHomeASsistantComponent (or some other HA .. entry point..)? | 20:53:55 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | getting: ```
The Python derivation 'python3.13-firstof9/openevse-2.1.45' depends on a Python derivation
named 'python3.12-python-openevse-http-0.1.61', but the two derivations use different versions
of Python:
'python3.13-firstof9/openevse-2.1.45' uses /nix/store/acxvfb890g9jawlxsj7zs8marxxvzrrs-python3-3.13.1
'python3.12-python-openevse-http-0.1.61' uses /nix/store/c9m6yd8fg1flz2j5r4bif1ib5j20a0cy-python3-3.12.8
