[SAPUI5] Binding with filter on XML View

 , , ,

https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#/topic/5338bd1f9afb45fb8b2af957c3530e8f.html

There are two ways to use a filter.

Option 1:

items="{
				path: '/myItems',
				parameters : {
				  $filter : 'itemName eq \'myItemName\'',
				  $orderby : 'createdAt desc'
				},
}">

Option 2:

items="{
				path: '/myItems',
				parameters : {
				  $orderby : 'createdAt desc'
				},
				filters : {                                     
				  path : 'itemName ',
				  operator : 'EQ',
				  value1 : 'myItemName'
				},
}">

[SAPUI5] Toogle Dark mode from Shell Header

 , , , , ,

There are several different types of buttons you can add to the Shell Header: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#/api/sap.ushell.renderers.fiori2.Renderer%23methods/Summary
For my test I choose the “addHeaderEndItem” Button. Add the fowlloing logic in the Component.js file to create the button and the logic for switching the theme:

		_addHeaderButton: function () {
			const oRenderer = sap.ushell.Container.getRenderer("fiori2");
			oRenderer.addHeaderEndItem("sap.ushell.ui.shell.ShellHeadItem", {
				id: "toogleTheme",
				icon: "sap-icon://circle-task-2",
				visible: "{device>/orientation/landscape}",
				tooltip: "Switch Theme",
				press: (oEvent) => {
					const toogleButton = oEvent.getSource();
					if (toogleButton.getIcon() === "sap-icon://circle-task-2") {
						sap.ui.getCore().applyTheme("sap_fiori_3_dark");
						toogleButton.setIcon("sap-icon://circle-task");
					} else {
						sap.ui.getCore().applyTheme("sap_fiori_3");
						toogleButton.setIcon("sap-icon://circle-task-2");
					}
				}
			}, true);
		},

Afterwars you need call the method in the init() function of the component. No reload the app and you will find the new button in the top right corner. Pressing will switch the theme to dark or back to light theme.

Docker

[Docker] OCI runtime create failed on Ubuntu 18.04.

 , , , ,

Yesterday after rebooting my Server running Ubuntu 18.04. I couldn’t run most of my Docker Container. Strangely, some worked and some did not. If not I always got some OCI runtime error messages:

$ docker-compose up -d
ts3_teamspeak_1 is up-to-date
Creating ts3_teamspeak-db_1 ... error

ERROR: for ts3_teamspeak-db_1  Cannot start service teamspeak-db: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:402: getting the final child's pid from pipe caused: EOF: unknown

After googling a bit, I found the solution. I did an apt upgrade before rebooting and my Docker version was updated to v5.20. And it seems that Ubuntu 18.04. and Docker v5.20 are not working well together. Therefore I had to downgrade docker to v5.18. Find more here.

 apt install docker-ce=5:18.09.1~3-0~ubuntu-bionic
 apt install containerd.io=1.2.2-1

Home Assistant

[Proxmox] Installing Home Assistant

 , , , , , ,

You can install Home Assistant (HA) as LXC or VM on Proxmox. Or even put HA as docker container on top of a LXC or VM, but passing through hardware (like ConBee II) will become much more complicated. There a many installation guides i.e.
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/installing-home-assistant-using-proxmox/201835
https://www.x33u.org/docs/server/home-assistant_proxmox-vm/
https://www.juanmtech.com/install-proxmox-and-virtualize-home-assistant/
and there are few scripts which automate the installing process. Unfortunately some of them doesn’t work anymore for PVE 7 i.e.
https://github.com/whiskerz007/proxmox_hassio_lxc
https://github.com/whiskerz007/proxmox_hassos_install/

The only script that is working (while writing this) is this one https://github.com/tteck/proxmox_haos_vm which may be is a fork of whiskerz007’s previous script.

Terminal

[Terminal] Using rsync with –backup and –delete together

 , , ,

I’m using rsync to create backups from my NAS to an external HDD. The command looks like this:

rsync -azP --delete --exclude=/.zfs -b --backup-dir=Backup /mnt/nfs/photos/ /media/nocin/externalBackup/photos/
rsync parameterdescription
-a –archiveThis is equivalent to -rlptgoD. It is a quick way of saying you want recursion and
want to preserve almost everything.
-z –compressWith this option, rsync compresses the file data as it is sent to the destination machine, which reduces the amount of data being transmitted
-PThe -P option is equivalent to –partial –progress. Its purpose is to make it much easier to specify these two options for a long transfer that may be interrupted.
–deleteThis tells rsync to delete extraneous files from the receiving side (ones that aren’t on the sending side)
–excludeexclude files matching PATTERN
-b –backup-dirWith this option preexisting destination files are renamed with a ~ extension as each file is transferred. You can control where the backup file goes and what (if any) suffix gets appended using the –backup-dir and –suffix options.

But somehow it always created the Backup folder recursively again inside the Backup folder. So the first run created the /Backup folder, after the second run I’ve got /Backup/Backup, after the third run /Backup/Backup/Backup and so on..

The solution was to exclude the Backup directory using the --exclude command. 

rsync -azP --delete --exclude=/.zfs --exclude=Backup -b --backup-dir=Backup /mnt/nfs/photos/ /media/nocin/externalBackup/photos/

I found a good explanation for this behaviour here: https://www.jveweb.net/en/archives/2011/02/using-rsync-and-cron-to-automate-incremental-backups.html

“If we are storing backups in the destination folder, or in a directory inside of the destination folder, the --delete parameter is going to delete old backups, as they are not in the source folder. Or attempt to as in the following situation:

Say, we already have a folder called backup inside of the destination directory, and we use rsync again, using --backup-dir=backup one more time. As rsync is going to attempt to delete every file and folder that is not in the source directory, it would backup the backup folder, which would create a backup folder inside our already existing backup folder, and then it would attempt to delete the backup folder and fail because it is using it to backup files.”
