Advanced IDE for Home Assistant, based on Cloud9 IDE

Deprecation warning

This add-on is in a deprecated state!

This add-on is powered by the Cloud9 IDE project, which has been acquired by Amazon in 2016. As of 17 October 2018, the open source development of the Cloud9 Core has been halted.

It became harder to maintain and keep this add-on running. As the world advances, but the C9 does not, so things become incompatible over time.

The point of no longer being able to upgrade parts of the add-on, has come.

Therefore this add-on will no longer receive any updates and is deprecated.

If you are running Hass.io on an amd64 based system, we would recommend changing to the vscode add-on. For other architectures (e.g., Raspberry Pi), we expect to release an alternative add-on.

About

Cloud9 IDE is an online integrated development environment. It supports hundreds of programming languages, including C, C++, PHP, Ruby, Perl, Python, JavaScript with Node.js, and Go.

This add-on is a packaged version of the Cloud9 IDE, tuned for use with Home Assistant. It is designed to allow you to configure and edit your Home Assistant setup straight from the web interface using a useful, pretty and fullblown editor.

IDE in the Home Assistant Frontend

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Home Assistant add-on.

  1. Search for the "IDE" add-on in the Supervisor add-on store and install it.
  2. Start the "IDE" add-on
  3. Check the logs of the "IDE" add-on to see if everything went well.
  4. Surf to your Hass.io instance and use port 8321 (e.g. http://hassio.local:8321).
  5. Login using your Home Assistant credentials.

Configuration

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.

Example add-on configuration:

log_level: info
ssl: true
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
packages:
  - php7-cli
init_commands: []

Note: This is just an example, don't copy and paste it! Create your own!

Option: log_level

The log_level option controls the level of log output by the addon and can be changed to be more or less verbose, which might be useful when you are dealing with an unknown issue. Possible values are:

Please note that each level automatically includes log messages from a more severe level, e.g., debug also shows info messages. By default, the log_level is set to info, which is the recommended setting unless you are troubleshooting.

Using trace or debug log levels puts the cloud9 server into debug mode as well.

Option: ssl

Enables/Disables SSL (HTTPS) on the IDE. Set it true to enable it, false otherwise.

Option: certfile

The certificate file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default

Option: keyfile

The private key file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default

Option: packages

Allows you to specify additional Alpine packages to be installed in your shell environment (e.g., Python, PHP, Go).

Note: Adding many packages will result in a longer start-up time for the add-on.

Option: init_commands

Customize your IDE environment even more with the init_commands option. Add one or more shell commands to the list, and they will be executed every single time this add-on starts.

Option: leave_front_door_open

Adding this option to the add-on configuration allows you to disable authentication on the IDE by setting it to true.

Note: We STRONGLY suggest, not to use this, even if this add-on is only exposed to your internal network. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Embedding into Home Assistant

It is possible to embed the IDE directly into Home Assistant, allowing you to access your IDE through the Home Assistant frontend.

Home Assistant provides the panel_iframe integration, for these purposes.

Example configuration:

panel_iframe:
  ide:
    title: IDE
    icon: mdi:code-braces
    url: https://addres.to.your.hass.io:8321

Changelog & Releases

This repository keeps a change log using GitHub's releases functionality. The format of the log is based on Keep a Changelog.
