Can't get Aircon to run as standalone server in Debian 10 or Ubuntu 20.x

[5bngr]

Any ideas? Detail below.
System

• Virtual VM running in Synology
• 4.19.0-16-amd64 AEH-W4A1 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Python version 3.7.9

Issue #1 - Discovery doesn't work.

• Command:
  python -m aircon discovery fglair-us user pass

• Logs:
  discovery.py:43] Failed to login to Hisense server:
  Status 401: 'Unauthorized'

For testing purposes, I've installed Aircon in windows, copied & pasted the above and the command works. I got 6 config files corresponding to the number of units I have.

Issue #2
As per above, I got around the discovery issue in my debian/ubuntu install, and copied the config files over. But when I try to running the server, it craps out.

• Command:
  python -m aircon run --port 8888 --config office.json --mqtt_host 158.134.2.56 --mqtt_port 1884 --mqtt_user user:pass --mqtt_client_id mini-split --mqtt_topic fujitsu

After digging around a bit, I was able to make some progress.

• Discovery now works. The issue was bizarre. my password contains a $0 in it. Looks like that was making the script interpret that part of the password string as something other than a literal string. I this is \S0 and it fixed it. Discovery now works. crazy.

• The server still doesn't run but I now see where is failing. See tcpdump below. getting a forbidden 403 in response to the post command from the aircon server. Any ideas?

Code now runs but with errors. re-opening as a different issue.

Glad you managed to resolve this. The issue is with bash (or zsh) resolving arguments. Single quotes should prevent that:

$ echo $0
-bash
$ echo '$0'
$0
