devconsole.pivccu
Role Name: pivccu
This role installs the piVCCU® project from Alexander Reinert. It is a project to install the original Homematic CCU2 / CCU3 firmware inside virtualized container (lxc) on ARM based single board computers. You can find the project at https://github.com/alexreinert/piVCCU/ .
Requirements
It is designed for ARM based single board computers like the RaspberryPi. Currently this role is tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with the HM-MOD-RPI-PCB connected via GPIO. You can find further prerequisites here.
Installation
ansible-galaxy install devconsole.pivccu
Role Variables
default variables in defaults/main.yml:
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| pivccu_apt_key | 'https://www.pivccu.de/piVCCU/public.key' |
| pivccu_repo_url | 'https://www.pivccu.de/piVCCU' |
| pivccu_apt_suite | 'stable' # 'testing' as alternative |
variables in vars/main.yml:
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| pivccu_pkg | 'pivccu3' # 'pivccu' for CCU version 2 |
| pivccu_hw_hb_rf_eth | 'false' # HM-MOD-RPI-PCB/RPI-RF-MOD via Ethernet |
| pivccu_create_backup_job | 'true' |
| pivccu_backup_path | '/var/backups' |
| bridge_interface_method | 'dhcp' # 'static' (needs IP configuration - s.b.) |
| bridge_ip | "192.168.2.100" |
| bridge_netmask | "255.255.255.0" |
| bridge_gateway | "192.168.2.1" |
| bridge_nameserver | ["192.168.2.1","8.8.8.8"] |
When bridge_interface_method is set to static, you maybe have to adjust these additional variables for templating the network bridge interface configuration in /etc/network/interfaces.
- bridge_ip
- bridge_netmask # like 255.255.255.0
- bridge_gateway
- bridge_nameserver(s) (optional list with max. 2 IPs)
Dependencies
None.
