raspberry localhost

Getting Started
#1

Hello everybody
I am currently sending data to emoncms.org with an arduino.
I want to expand my system this year and double the number of feeds.
Therefore I would like to switch to a localhost to reduce costs.
I own a raspberry 3 (no experience) and have been trying to install emoncms for days with various instructions. so far without success.
I would like to start over with the installation and hope for your support.

Question is this guide the right one for my project?


Or schould i try another?

the raspberry shows emonpi login:

Whats next: " Install the EmonCMS Installation Scripts" ?

If you have installed the image there is not much else to do.

Nothing to install - Emoncms is preinstalled.

#6

that sounds good. How can I access the localhost? Do I have to adjust settings? Is there a graphic interface?

#7

I tried to connect via browser “http://emonpi.local/” or IP adress and get the following message

Can’t connect to database, please verify credentials/configuration in settings.ini

You appear to have changed this - have you setup the database on this host?

#9

yes i have changed that from 127.0.0.1 because my raspberrys ip is on 192.168.0.175.
mistake?

#10

How can i setup the database on this host ?
