The world works in mysterious ways. WOW. Thank you! Right now all I have is an inkbird to control fermentation temps. My esp probe is literally taped to my fermenter :(, so just temps from a sensor right now. Eventually I plan on either getting a Tilt or making an iSpindle for gravity purposes...

Good morning. The ESP8266 was set up with my previous Pi installation of Fermentrack. At that time, I did give the controller a static ip of x.x.x.80. I was able to see it on my network while I posting my message. I then installed Fermentrack on the Ubuntu VM and used the setup guide to add it...

I had previously used Fermentrack via a raspberry pi. I just recently purchased and started running a home server and I had the grand idea of putting fermentrack on a VM. The VM is running Ubuntu and I was able to install fermentrack fine. It was even able to pick up the esp8266 controller that...

Thank you for the help and sorry for the delay in responding. I don't seem to be running ahavi daemon and there is nothing in /etc/ for it either. Same goes for mdns. It is not in /etc/ either. I do have the nsswitch.conf file. Where... hosts: files dns Should I make any changes to...

Thanks for the reply! I guess it is a good thing that I took a look because I missed the critical step of actually enabling UFW as I intended to. So, I guess UFW was not the issue. I did add rules for those two ports which I can play with more once I get things working. I disabled pihole to...

I was able to get my three services running concurrently and I can access the Fermentrack interface. I also was able to add my ESP8266 device from a previous attempt at fermentrack. The downside is that I am failing the DNS test and Cached IP test. I suspect these are both due to pihole...

Thank you all for the feeback. I do truly accept your opinions and I can see that I'm getting myself into a tricky situation. With that said, I think it is also a good challenge to help me learn more about handling various processes in linux. I appreciate the config details @Thorrak and I think...

I will first admit that I am likely having trouble because I'm a linux noob. But...I could use some help. I am running a pi 4 that is hosting both a minecraft server and pihole. The minecraft server has a map plugin that is on port 8123. I was unable to get Fermentrack to install via the...

I sent you a PM so we can square this away. Thanks!

I took another look and I think that might be the case! Can you let me know what you would be asking for it Southern_Junior?

No worries. Thanks for trying

Thank you for the reply. Sounds like a half bbl coil would be too large for the 7 gal fermenter.

Hello, I have a 7 gal SS Brewtech Chronical fermenter that I'd like to source a chilling coil for. I've tried a jacket with pretty subpar results. My goal is to use a DIY inkbird/glycol rig with this coil and therefore I do not need the FTSS control unit. I would also be interested in the...

I really appreciate the detailed response. I definitely understand that I'm jumping in with some pretty basic questions. I'll take a look at what you provided but I think the API might be the best answer as I'm sure others might be interested in the same. I use something called ActionTiles where...

I too would be interested in a more updated wiring diagram. I see the potential of what this can do (I am currently using it to monitor my STC controlled temps). But I'm not quite sure how to bridge the gap between wiring of the STC to the esp. I am using a modified version of this case which...

Two questions here. I've had OK luck in the past in getting BPL to connect to wifi with versions that used WIFI Manager. Attempting to use the newer versions that simply stay in Soft AP causes issues connecting to my home wifi. I've gone into the config multiple times to set WIFI and I never see...

My thought, which seems far too simple, is to follow this build: https://backdeckbrewing.wordpress.com/2017/09/05/glycol-chiller-build/. Such that I can disconnect the orange and white wires from the thermostat and splice them together. Without the relay between those wires, it should now be...

Hello, I am about to start getting my hands dirty with a window ac based glycol chiller. I have already sourced the AC, cooler, temp controller, hosing and pump. I've done my best to uncover the designs that I would like to mimic and work from. However, I was hoping for some assistance related...

I'm reviving this post as I see it has been a few months since this was posted. I've asked a question in another thread as to whether I should work with an analog AC that I have or a digital one. Turns out that the digital one is exactly the same unit that you used! Would you mind taking a look...

Hello, I am looking to put together a glycol chiller using an old AC that we have. In fact, we have two old ACs that I've taken apart to see which would suit the project better. They are both different styles but both are 5-6k btu. Can you please assist in letting me know which AC would be best...
