# prerequisites: | |
## install software | |
apt install mariadb-server libmariadbclient-dev sqlite3 | |
## install mysqlclient in virtualenv | |
su -c 'homeassistant/bin/pip3 install mysqlclient --upgrade' -l homeassistant | |
## create database | |
mysql -e 'CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `hass_db` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8' | |
## create user (use a safe password please) | |
mysql -e "CREATE USER 'hass_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'hass_pw'" | |
mysql -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hass_db.* TO 'hass_user'@'localhost'" | |
mysql -e "GRANT usage ON *.* TO 'hass_user'@'localhost'" | |
# stop HA now | |
systemctl stop home-assistant # or whatever it is for you | |
# now edit the configuration to point hass to mysql | |
nano .... | |
# now start HA once and stop it right away, we only want it to create the tables: | |
systemctl start home-assistant # or whatever it is for you | |
sleep 20 | |
systemctl stop home-assistant # or whatever it is for you | |
# now empty the tables | |
mysql hass_db -e 'delete from events;delete from recorder_runs; delete from schema_changes; delete from states;' | |
# this is the actual conversion: | |
sqlite3 home-assistant_v2.db .dump \ | |
| sed -re 's/^PRAGMA .+OFF/SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=0/' \ | |
-e 's/^CREATE INDEX .+//' \ | |
-e 's/^BEGIN TRANSACTION;$/SET autocommit=0;BEGIN;/' \ | |
-e '/^CREATE TABLE .+ \($/,/^\);/ d' \ | |
-e 's/^INSERT INTO "([^"]+)"/INSERT INTO \1/' \ | |
-e 's/\\n/\n/g' \ | |
| perl -pe 'binmode STDOUT, ":utf8";s/\\u([0-9A-Fa-f]{4})/pack"U*",hex($1)/ge' \ | |
| mysql hass_db --default-character-set=utf8 -u hass_user -p |
I ended up using the sqlite3-to-mysql python script
So far it seems to work well.
Also utf8mb4 seems to be default on my ubuntu server setup
# prerequisites:
## install software
apt install mariadb-server
## create database
mysql -e 'CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `hass_db` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4'
## create user (use a safe password please)
mysql -e "CREATE USER 'hass_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'hass_pw'"
mysql -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hass_db.* TO 'hass_user'@'localhost'"
mysql -e "GRANT usage ON *.* TO 'hass_user'@'localhost'"
# stop HA now
docker stop homeassistant # or whatever it is for you
# now edit the configuration to point hass to mysql
nano ....
# convert the sqlite db to mysql
sqlite3mysql -f ./home-assistant_v2.db -d hass_db -u hass_user -p
# start HA
docker start homeassistant # or whatever it is for you

This method worked for me. Awesome. You're a star.
If you are getting error:
2022-07-12 09:32:29 ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:3306' (111 Connection refused)
2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:3306' (111 Connection refused)
Let´s try this way:
sqlite3mysql -f ./config/home-assistant_v2.db -d hass_db -u hass_user -h core-mariadb -p
