No this is a lenovo m30 laptop

I was running in VM before but esxi6.7 did not support the new zigbee stick so switched to physical device (no regrets tbh)

humble mirage

Right, but .. you can test in a VM

#

Spin up a VM, test the restore, job done

Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:

Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.

Hi! I am running into some weird issues when trying to update my HomeAssistant to Version 9.0. I am running the system on an Asus Tinkerboard, and when I try to update the system never seems start backup. I've tried waiting several hours on the update with no luck. Any suggestions?

Updating Home Assistant OS ... HA isn't at version 0 😉

Ahh! I am sorry, the OS is trying to update to v.9.0 but fails continuously 🤨

I have been running Home Assistant on a RPI 4B 8GB. But I now I want the hardware to be multipurpose. I was thinking of ubunto server. But do I install docker on it? Or does it not work like that? Or is there a better alternative?

Guys, I'm thinking to move from my pi to a laptop I have which uses only 12 to 17 W idling.
My first obstable is the ssd it has. a 1.8 inch ssd
This means I cant connect it to a sata port on my computer to write the image.
Also, I'm not sure if it has bios or uefi. if it has bios, is this laptop usable?

Hi, i am not sure where to begin. I have over 50 zwave light switches installed around the house, however nothing is setup yet. I have a raspi4, m.2 ssd and a zwave controller that i want to setup but I have no clue where to start? I am very new to home automation and raspi and kind of a newbie.

Why is this?

crude inlet
#

HA OS is powered by docker and manages it for you. Add-ons are software outside of HA which are run in containers. HA is in a container. The supervisor manages this. A plain Docker install is where you manage it and all other containers yourself

humble mirage
tender moss
#

You convinced me though, going for RPi OS 64.but

#

If I'm moving from my 6-year old 16 GB SD to an actual A2 SD with 128 GB to boast, do I do a full or partial backup?

flat wyvern
#

about 2 months ago i had to load my vm hard disk onto a linux install so i could browse it and i renamed a docker folder to fix an issue with a container breaking the boot in a similar fashion, with it saying it's doing an audit i'm wondering if it's trying to load that old one

#

Really dont want to have to just download the latest VM and start from scratch

tender moss
#

I wanted to move HA from a 16 GB SD to a 128 GB SD, but the system crashes after starting to restore the backup. I don't know how long it usually takes, but does the Pi reboot after the restore?

#

Or do I have to yolo power surge it?

brittle sail
#

moving to an ssd would be a lot cooler

tender moss

it's not much more expensive to buy a decent ssd and usb3 to sata adapter

damnit HA Discord

brittle sail

under $40

tender moss
#

But uh

#

Did we factor in laziness here

brittle sail
#

laziness as in wanting to not have to fuck with it again when sd eventually fails?

tender moss
#

Anyhow, is it possible to step out of the supervisor and use the HA to run containers and stuff?

brittle sail
#

you can technically make your own addons (containers)

tender moss
brittle sail
#

i've found pretty much any addons i want already exist

brittle sail

#

like tuya convert?

#

probably not

#

better to just not buy that kind of shit imo

#

or get another pi to do it

tender moss
brittle sail
#

i did that once.. rather just buy better shit

#

you can just use a different microsd card

manic bane
brittle sail
#

flash then boot hass up again

tender moss
#

I'd rather have a stable convert setup within my actual OS. Tried the tuya convert setup but it fails at apt-getting the prereq script

#

As in, it'd be cool if my actual HAOS setup could convert bulbs too lol

brittle sail
#

Most of us don’t buy tuya convert shit

#

We buy stuff already flashed with tasmota or esphome and OTA flash them from a pc or something

#

Or from esphome or tasmota addons in haos

tender moss
#

What does ESPHome do specifically?

brittle sail
#

Or buy zigbee or zwave

manic bane
#

That's what I do, ZigBee everything

#

Except for a few tuya ones that I wanted to purposely try flashing lol

tender moss
#

But so many of these devices are very basic, I don't see the need to buy expensive ones.

brittle sail
#

You can buy preflashed bulbs and plugs and stuff for not much more than tuya without the hassle

#

Saving $5 or whatever isn’t worth it lol

tribal vapor
#

How well does localtuya work?

brittle sail
#

Plus a lot of them are getting chips that can’t be flashed as easy or at all

tribal vapor
#

That works without the flashing or hacking doesn't it?

brittle sail
#

I avoid tuya like the plague so no idea

#

Lots of people seem to have issues even with localtuya

tender moss
#

Tbf I set up the tuya cloud thingy and it works like a damn charm

brittle sail
#

Gross

#

China cloud 🌧️

tender moss
#

I dont disagree with that

tribal vapor
#

I have a lot of Tuya stuff, mainly because it is widely available where I live, and it is affordable.

#

My wife is not a big supporter of the home automation thing.

#

So, I try to keep it affordable and justifiable as much as possible.

#

I do want to bring most of it local (while keeping it all affordable)

#

Simply for the fact that I want to still be able to control my lights when we lose internet.

#

I did try adding one light to localtuya, but it doesn't work (probably cause it is still integrated to HA with the regular Tuya integration).

Hi, I am trying to use https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/data-configuration/integrations/integration-reference/integration-homeassistant/ which requires installing grafana agent, but I seem to fail at this, first because the scripts does not support "LINUX" as an OS 😅
Second I think I am missing some libraries or something as running the executateble gives me "file not found" and that seems to be related to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/378301/linux-executable-fails-with-file-not-found-even-though-the-file-is-there-and-i.
Does anyone have a good solution or pointer, or can tell me I am trying to do something the wrong way 🙂

Are you running HAOS or some other method?

HAOS in Virtualbox

I've got a HAOS fresh install stuck at "INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.resolution.fixup] System autofix complete" (proxmox VM using the qcow2 disk image). The supervisor log proceeds to this point then nothing else happens. Any ideas where to start?

copper nymph
#

Can HAOS be ran on a computer like a normal OS. Not using a Rasbery Pi.

brittle sail
manic bane
#

Using the x86 install method for HAOS

copper nymph
#

That was what I was hoping for. The install page doesn't make that clear. Going to be using Frigate NVR and Trying the free way before using UnRaid.

#

Thanks @brittle sail and @manic bane

manic bane
#

@copper nymph remember the same restrictions apply to it even if it's running on x86. You can't install stuff, you can't run other containers (except for add ons of course)

I’ve never been held back by haos

No. I'm porting openthread to the atmel r21 and I want to add Homeassistent support

Is there any way to edit the etc/environment file ? Docker should use the proxy if the HTTP_PROXY env variable.

manic bane
#

Unless HA doesn't respect it as an OS

#

You're better off trying just a plain docker install

humble mirage
#

HAOS itself won't use it

#

You're going to have to use Docker or a pure Core install

Alright I'm gonna try this tomorrow

I guess my usecase is quite niche 😄

#

Hey all, I’m working on upgrading my RPi4 HA to a new Linux docker setup and am trying desperately to figure out how to restore my backup and so far failing miserably

#

I have copied over the content of my unpacked config folder from the pi, but it looks like essentially nothing is working . Missing dashboards, automations, devices, integrations, everything

#

If anyone can point me to a resource for how to actual restore things, I’d be massively appreciative

flat wyvern
#

is there anyway to bypass docker on boot? such as a kernel parameter?

#

f**k it once i can get into the damned vm and copy my config im creating a new vm from scratch, and once my server is up and running i'm moving to supervised

#

according to the page on versions the docker version doesnt support addons

#

only os and supervised

manic bane
manic bane
#

You can run anything alongside it

#

There's more flexibility with docker

flat wyvern
#

i'll try that version first, it's less likely to make me want to go on a rampage with a flame thrower at least

manic bane
#

Supervised & core have very specific use cases

Hello, I'm trying to disable the USB autosuspend feature on the HAOS running on generic x86-64 as it currently returning the value 2 after running
cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

#

According to the zigbee2mqtt FAQ the command to disable this would be:

sed -i 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="/&usbcore.autosuspend=-1 /' /etc/default/grub
update-grub
systemctl reboot
#

but it currently returns:
sed: /etc/default/grub: No such file or directory

#

any idea where grub could be hiding?

I bricked my HA Blue by adding http: ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem ip_ban_enabled: true login_attempts_threshold: 5 to configuration.yaml. I can access HA via a keyboard & screen on the blue cli by typing login but I can't find the configuration.yaml file. The /home & /root directories show nothing using the "ls" command. Question: how do I edit the file to remove the offending code so I can restart HA? Note: It is bricked because I can't access HA via browser, PuTTy, TailScale, nor SambaShare. So https://www.home-assistant.io/getting-started/configuration/ nor other searches have helped.

#

I found the /mnt/config directory but using ls it shows nothing.

fervent zodiac
midnight cloak
#

Thanks for replying. /root shows nothing with the ls command. I found /config under the /mnt directory but again ls shows nothing.

fervent zodiac
#

Looking closer, it seems that /root/config is a symlink to /config, try there?

midnight cloak
#

just so you know, I'm not fluent in linux so feel free to treat me like a 5 year old with your help.:)

fervent zodiac
#

Sure, try cd /config and ls there

midnight cloak
#

under /root it returns the error: /bin/ash: can't find cd to /config: no such file or directory

fervent zodiac
#

Hmm, interesting. If you do cd / and then ls, what do you see?

midnight cloak
#

Just to make sure we are on the same page: I am at the # prompt after typing login at the cli prompt.

#

I get the list of directories including root, mnt, home, dev, etc, and others

fervent zodiac
#

Oh, interesting. login seems to expose a different set of directories than SSH does. One sec, let me reorient to that

#

Alright, try cd /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant that should have a yaml file for you

midnight cloak
#

Your the man! Thanks. One last question, nano doesn't work. What is the editor command?

#

found it. vi

#

I really appreciate it. The last is: what is the reboot command to restart HA

fervent zodiac
#

You're looking for vi. Remember to edit the document, you need to press i first (interactive mode) and then to save and quit, you need to hit ESC and then type :wq and hit ENTER

midnight cloak
#

thanks so much.

fervent zodiac
#

You're looking for shutdown now -r

#

It's possible Home Assistant has a nicer one, but I'm a Linux person and that worked just fine.

midnight cloak
#

esc doesn't do anything

fervent zodiac
#

In vi? All it does it change you from interactive mode to... uh... command mode? It lets you type in the command space instead of the document.

#

ESC literally means the escape key, not the letters e, s, and c

#

(Likewise ENTER is the enter key)

midnight cloak
#

Yes, the escape key

manic bane
fervent zodiac
midnight cloak
#

I'm stuck in the edited file. the 'esc' key won't pull me out.

#

I'm sorry I'm making this so complicated.

fervent zodiac
#

If you type a letter, it shows up in the document?

midnight cloak
#

yes

fervent zodiac
#

Let me test some options and get back to you.

midnight cloak
#

thanks, no hurry, I'll wait.

fervent zodiac
#

Alright, if ESC isn't working, apparently CTRL+[ does the same thing

midnight cloak
#

also not working.

#

Ok,

#

I

#

I'm out. I'' do it again, hopefully correctly this time. The 'esc' seems to require I continue with the :q! or other command without sending me to some other prompt. So, I was looking for a # prompt after the 'esc' key press. Again. Thank you.

#

I'll do it again.

fervent zodiac
#

Ah, yeah, it drops you to vi command mode. Which basically is just the "bottom" line on the screen. If you notice when you first enter vi, is says something like - configuration.yaml 1/50 2% and when you hit ESC and start typing, it'll replace that information.

midnight cloak
#

That is exactly what happened. This information is going into my cheat sheet.

fervent zodiac
#

Also, just noticed, please use :wq as that means "write" and "quit" whereas :q! means "quit" "forcibly!" meaning it'll just discard your changes.

midnight cloak
#

👍

fervent zodiac
#

(Though the first time, you probably did want to discard, luckily CTRL+C will still shut down vi, like most programs)

midnight cloak
#

Thanks for sticking with it until it was resolved.

fervent zodiac
#

So it rebooted correctly? 🙂

midnight cloak
#

I just now logged in. Yes, I'm in. The reboot took a while

acoustic thistle
# indigo vale its a RPi 4. it is only running hasos, and has been working fine for over 2 year...

This is why I like to ask questions. I had thought it was a new install on a PC.
Whatever the original cause, having it reboot spontaneously is bound to cause file system damage. I would try to reinstall the system, and restore from a recent backup.

It is possible that the system is rebooting gracefully, but that much is unclear. I have not yet checked the logs you posted. It is currently 1:30 AM, and I need to go back to sleep.

Hello
I am new to home assistant and I want to install it on a raspberry pi 400
I followed step by step the instructions to create the sd card and inserted into the raspberry. After few minutes the screen is showing me the Hime assistant command line with ip address and URL. I am stuck here, how do I switch to the home assistant screen now? Your assistance is greatly appreciated (it might be something simple and my question may be silly but I need help with this)
Thank in advance
C

humble mirage
#

You point a web browser at the IP and port 😉

ripe pecan
#

Hi Tinkerer, I appreciate your help but I am still not clear, do I use another PC/laptop and introduce the ip address generated by the home assistant installation in the command line on raspberries pi? Or I restart the raspberry pi and use the browser in which case I need to replace the home assistant microsd card with the original Raspberry pi sd card to boot the raspberry os, I am not very proficient with IT.

crude inlet
#

@ripe pecan there's no screen to switch to. It's a server. You open a browser from another device and enter the IP address and port

#

You are visiting your own server's page in a browser

#

Enter the URL you saw in your browser address bar

#

You are not going to be making much use of that 400's keyboard, because it isn't needed unless there's a bigger issue

does there exist a guide or video for installing debian just for docker home assistant?

The standard debian install guides will be fine. Just install docker & docker-compose on-top of it

Then follow the HA Gude

just wanted verification on the install config

i assume no desktop environment and do ssh

That is the easiest way to do a server yes

Or use the console directly on the device you're installing debian on

okay thanks sorry for the stupid questions this is my first time doing this

The OS it's installed on is just whatever you want. As long as it has docker & docker-compose you're fine

That sounds like an issue with the QNAP

Hmmm...I thought it was just that I had not found the latest docker container. I thought the point of the docker container was that it was sort of self contained and didn't depend on my server. How and why would the qnap prevent a higher version of HA in a container?

It could be that the version of Docker is too old

yea indeed. My whole house is automated, an extensive setup that is running for a long time. Most of it is completely down now. So i am kinda in half-panic mode right now

#

any pointers how could debug this?

humble mirage
#

Flash HAOS, restore the last backup

#

You'll have to handle the other Docker containers another way

ionic gyro
#

yeah, thanks, i'll keep this in mind as a very-last-resort option 🙂 it would mean days of work. And buying separate hardware to install linux + docker to get those containers back.

humble mirage
#

You need to do that at some point anyway, since you're install is going to break, without warning, even if you get it working now

ionic gyro
#

yeah you're right about that. I will do that . But it's not going to help my out of the current emergency

#

doing a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade now. maybe it helps....

ashen charm
#

If your config files are only in the container, copy them out with https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cp/ and migrate to ha os.

Docker Documentation
docker cp

docker cp: The docker cp utility copies the contents of SRC_PATH to the DEST_PATH. You can copy from the container's file system to the local machine or the reverse, from...

zinc gyro
#

Best way forward (what I also did for one of the systems I manage). Remove the supervisor and switch to HA docker installation.

#

Only thing you lose are add-ons but most can just be installed as plain docker as well.

ionic gyro
#

yeah, that is kinda what worries me 🙂 i've all my sensor data in a ltss container with attached storage. I first need to find out and understand how to backup those sensor data before spooling up those containers again. Would be a first for me

zinc gyro
#

And change the image to ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable, the current one relies on the supervisor.

ionic gyro
#

hmmmm...... i am reading your suggestions, and trying really hard to decipher what to do. But i'm a bit out of my league now. It's very hard to learn/study when you have an emergency at home

#

it is very much appreciated of course

#

i'm using a ltss database

#

the default database of home assistant is not important for me 🙂

zinc gyro
humble mirage
#

And if you've got backups off the host they're just an archive, easy to extract

#

(if you don't have them off the host, they're not backups)

ionic gyro
#

i'm using dekiesel/timescaledb-postgis:1.7.4-pg12 to store my data (using the ltss custom component). So i would first need to backup the volume of that one. I dont have the skills yet to do so (would need some reading upfront first to learn how). Secondly, i need to backup my grafana dashboards (which is easy to do via the gui). Those two would be the most vital to me. After securing those, i can migrate to HASOS and install a backup . But than i need to find another RPI to install the timescaledb again. And i don't have a spare rpi here. In other words: a lot of steps to take.
Therefore, i am first trying to get everything up and running again somehow, before planning this migration

#

these things are so much easier if your house is not on fire lol 😅

humble mirage
#

If you've not got backups, that's a really Bad Thing ™️

ionic gyro
#

i do have backups

humble mirage
#

So i would first need to backup the volume of that one. I dont have the skills yet to do so

ionic gyro
#

but the last full backup is from some months ago

#

but this might be a way out indeed

#

let me think:

#

home assistant install backup is very recent (yesterday), which is in the cloud. Good.
last full image backup is from a couple of months back. I can put that back via clonezilla. After that i can put my home assistant backup back

#

but those steps can only happen after securing the volumes belonging to dekiesel/timescaledb-postgis:1.7.4-pg12 and some other containers

#

otherwise, i would miss sensor data from the last months.

#

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade did not fix it

#

hmm, if i find the root cause of the issue with the supervisor, i could at least get my system up and running again. And then plan a migraton strategy

ashen charm
#

If you have the observer running you can usually delete the supervisor container and restart and let it recreate it (don’t do this it observer is broken)

#

If the update is corrupt of supervisor you can sometime exec into the supervisor container and replace /usr/src/supervisor with the GitHub repo

#

docker exec -it hassio_supervisor /bin/bash

ionic gyro
#

the observer is running. Thanks, another escape route 😅 i'll try now

#

i've deleted the supervisor container & rebooted the host. Supervisor is not recreated. I guess i have to install the supervisor by hand again?

#

@humble mirage, @zinc gyro, @ashen charm, @flat hull, @crude inlet : thank you very much for your help! you are amazing

#

Now let's find myself another rpi4 somewhere in the internet dungeons, and plan a proper migration stragegy to HasOS. This never again 😅

brisk willow
#

ha, i was just about to say: now that you've set that up, tear it all down and switch to HA OS or HA container

ionic gyro
#

Exactly Tediore!

humble mirage
#

And improve your backups 😉

ionic gyro
#

yeah, something weird was going with that: clonezilla gave an error 2 weeks ago when trying to create a backup. I have not been able yet to fix that error. I'm afraid that my samsung T5 ssd is starting to give problems. Even more reason to figer this out asap

#

would be an extreme small probability, since the ssd is only 1.5 years old, and the ssd is cooled properly

#

but stuff can break of course...

#

but the clonezilla error suggested physical damage

cunning river
#

I'm dumb, need help

ionic gyro
#

which would explain the sudden appearance of my supervisor error. Since i did not change anyting. And my system is running -despite being supervised- very stable for 18 months

cunning river
#

Not a Linux guy, running home assistant on Linux, in a container.

Trying to edit config file, but I am not the owner of the home assistant folder.

What do I do?

humble mirage
humble mirage
#

sudo nano /path/to/configuration.yaml

ionic gyro
#

yup, i'll apply some diagnostics on my ssd this weekend.... hoping for the best

humble mirage
#

dmesg is also your friend here

#

If the kernel is logging errors then you need to know about them

cunning river

Thanks, no way to change permission huh?

#

What's dmesg?

That wasn't for you 😉

cunning river
#

Can't, it's on a mini BTC miner

humble mirage
#

If you're "not a Linux" person, then either you need to learn Linux, or switch to HAOS

#

Map a volume to the HA config folder and you can edit files in a UI

cunning river
#

Thank you

humble mirage
#

I hope you've already got working, tested, backups that you know how to restore from

cunning river
#

Added Bitcoin sensor language to config, but it's not showing up as an available integration.... Any idea what went wrong? Lol

#

Yes, been running for a few months

#

The other main issue I have is the new native Bluetooth is not passing through the container (I think)

#

DBus service not found

humble mirage
#

Running... but have you backed it up and tested those backups?

cunning river
#

Have several backups, haven't tested restoring them

humble mirage
#

Plus, of course, you have to be using privileged mode for the container

humble mirage
#

Privileged mode is covered in the official HA install docs for Docker

#

If you followed some random YouTube guide you're probably missing things you should know

cunning river
#

Yup!

#

But also got help from here

#

i am now trying to update to the beta, but the "system not healthy message" keeps appearing, even after reboot.

#

referring to https://www.home-assistant.io/more-info/unhealthy/docker. But all criteria are met, except for "Running unsupported software" , which is the whole point to get a supervised install. And which is my current situation since 2 years. If my memory servers me well, this docker message was first grouped under " unsupported installation" , but it is now moved to the "unhealthy" section

#

that would explain my current blocker for upgrading. Does anyone recognize this behaviour? Docker message being moved from unsupported to unhealthy ?

cunning river
#

Feel like I might not be editing the right configuration file...

#

Under system info, says it's in /config, but I don't have that folder anywhere

brisk willow
#

it's because that's the path in the container

cunning river
#

I'm dumb, how do I find the container folder?

#

Is it var/lib/docker?

brisk willow
#

by looking at where you mapped the volume to in your docker run command or docker-compose.yaml file

cunning river
#

Docker run -v? Give an error

brisk willow
#

are you using docker run or docker-compose?

cunning river
#

Yes?

brisk willow
#

that wasn't an inclusive or 😆

#

regardless, docker inspect home-assistant (or whatever the container name is)

cunning river
#

Lol

brisk willow
#

then look for a Mounts section

cunning river
#

Don't see that section

#

Nvm

#

Source or destination?

#

Wish pics were allowed here...

brisk willow
#

source. that's where the config folder is at on the host.

cunning river
#

Ok that's my home assistant folder on my desktop

#

So I was editing the right config I guess, but it didn't change anything in HA

#

There is no /config folder

brisk willow
#

you need to restart HA after making any configuration changes other than what can be reloaded at developer tools > YAML

#

if you don't have a YAML tab there, then it's at configuration > server controls

cunning river
#

Restarting

#

Still not showing the new sensor

Always run the configuration check command when you make changes. Don't trust the UI check - it misses some problems.

Duplicate sensors found

brisk willow
#

yeah, you can only have one sensor: in your config file (the exception being packages, but that's another story)

cunning river
#

So just group them?

ionic gyro
#

i resolved my "unhealthy" warning: it turned out that portainer-ce was causing this message. I removed that container, and it's healthy again. Weird though, since that was running for 1 year now. Maybe the " blacklist" has been updated recently

#

now updating to the new beta to help testing

Saw it load in bottom left toast notification, but didn't show ilunder integrations. Trying again

Hi!

I am trying to install Home Assistant OS onto an Intel x86-64 system. I have an internal m2 drive. The guide says to use a live operating system on a flash drive (Ubuntu Try befor buy) and then use BalenaEtcher to install img to the internal drive. How on earth am I supposed to run balenaetcher on a live operating system? The ubuntu live system has no AppImage support, installing via apt fails, too.

#

Any ideas?

crude inlet
#

@ivory schooner you should be able to download it but you don't need it, anyway. You can use Ubuntu's built in disks utility

#

And then "restore image" (the HA OS image file) to the drive you want

ivory schooner
#

I doubt theres an easy way to get etcher running on Ubuntu 22 live os. But using built in utility sounds great!

#

Thanks! I will try!

crude inlet
#

choose the disk, then at the top there should be somewhere to select "restore disk image" (3 dots maybe? I forget) then choose the .xz file

Hello everyone
Thank you for creating this community.
At the top when you are zero like me in debian, linux and company
I installed HA on my freebox delta by following a tutorial
However after reboot, HA did not restart
I still have access to the VM with putty

humble mirage
#

What tutorial?

#

If you have zero Linux you should have used HAOS in that VM

I managed to relaunch by rerunning the last steps:

#

sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
cd /srv/homeassistant
python3 -m venv .

I am now looking to modify the Configuration.YAML file

I tried with Winscp but I got a "Permission Denied" error message.

humble mirage

Well, you picked the method that requires you to have Linux skills

#

lol

humble mirage

I'd recommend that instead you start fresh with a HAOS VM

Hi all, brand spanking new to Home Assistant, bought a box from ameriDroid, it's plugged in and on the network, and I'm able to go to my local instance. Now my really, really dumb question. When I try and access the Remote Desktop via the Cloud, it's asking for a username and password. Where in the world do I find that? 😊

humble mirage
#

That'll be whatever you set for your user account when you set up HA

wanton dagger
#

I don't remember doing that?

humble mirage
#

Well, they don't come pre-configured... or if they did I'd be concerned

wanton dagger
#

And edge has no saved username or password, which it normally would automatically save.

humble mirage
#

It won't for HA, because of the way HA's UI works

wanton dagger
#

apparently I did. I'm looking at the guide that came with the box, and I can see that's one of the steps. Oy, it's been a day.

And I guessed what it was after that, so thank you for answering and putting some sense back into my head.

The problem is that I have 0 knowledge in VM. I use the VM of the delta freebox (French internet box). I managed to install HA only with this tutorial which describes step by step how to do it.

You have less than zero knowledge about Linux

Also, you'll need to install Python 3.10 in December

Hope you're ready for that 😉

Hey. Seems that yesterday i messed up my HA Supervised installation. I wanted to mount the NFS share into the HA container directly - therefore recreated the container with that share in Portainer

#

Since then my hassos-supervisor container is starting fine but reporting
22-09-30 06:50:16 ERROR (MainThread) [supervisor.api.middleware.security] Invalid token for access /info
errors

#

and in HA i cannot open any supervisor pages, VSCode doesnt work, etc

humble mirage
#

Odds are that it's not happy that you messed around with the container config. The Supervisor is supposed to be the only thing managing the containers. Did you try removing the container and letting it recreate it?

desert pelican
#

Hey. I think i just managed to fix it by issuing "ha core rebuild" command in hassio-cli container

humble mirage
#

Yup, that rebuilds the container

desert pelican

yeah, it seems that there's some kind of protection (?) build into hassos which checks if it talks with the genuine homeassistant container

What's the best way to find what high memory usage is caused by? I tried the memory profiler but heapy doesn't run on my machines for some reason (Ubuntu 22.04). Is there another way? My HAOS VM sits at about 97% RAM usage (of 16GB) and even with most of my add-ons stopped it's only dropped to 90%

austere condor
#

Freshly booted HA OS is sitting at 11% RAM which is much more reasonable; I could do with something equivalent to docker stats or even top at least to see whats sucking up RAM till it's full

brisk willow
#

Example from my Debian system:

matt@debian:~$ free
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           23933        2497         588          79       20848       20982
Swap:            978           1         977
#

Only about 2% of my RAM is "free" but you can also see that 87% of the RAM that's used is for buffers/cache which can be given back to applications at any time if needed (available)

#

That being said, if available is very low, then it might be cause for concern

austere condor
#

@brisk willow Thanks, but it's not a cached/buffered etc issue, the memory is being used until there's none left. Anyway, I figured it out by process of elimination but was wondering if there were any tools built in to the OS since free/top are basically useless from a terminal session because theyre namespaced into the addon container. I don't see a way to run it as a privileged container or to use the host pid namespace etc.

I have been running a home assitant suoervised for 3 years never had a problem

last weeks i have been migrating it to HAOS and all was working ok, but last 2 days its just keeps freazing all the time and reboots constantly

i donwgraded to a backup that i did 3 days ago that i know was working smotth and i still have the same problem

#

will a backup of HAOS restore everything, meaning operating system, HA and everything else?

Hi all, not sure if this is the best channel for this, but I am struggling with going from HA OS 8.6 to 9.0.

I've not seen much chatter about it being as flaky is 8.0 to 8.5, so I guess there is something specific to my case.

Running the typical update form UI resulting in the process starting and mostly nothing happened for 3-4 hours beyond a brief installing being shown in the UI followed by the same window with the option to start an update again.

#

How much free space do you have?

#

I was unable to update recently and it was because I was out.

#

I have my HA running in a VM so I restarted the VM and went on to install it again which seemingly worked better because about 30-40 min later it showed as if the HA OS 9.0 was running but there were some corruptions of my VM, so I reverted to a snapshot from before the update and am back here to ask for assistance.

@humble mirage I'll have to ponder that. Just went through the hassle of starting from scratch on debian so I could do this. I'm familiar with Linux....Is HA supervised not maintained?

humble mirage
#

It's a trap

#

In the unlikely case you can maintain it 100% in compliance with the requirements, assuming you even read them, then ... go for it

#

I'd say that most posters here who have problems with Supervised turn out to have ignored the requirements, or simply not kept current with changes in them, and are here because they've got a broken install they can't fix

#

If you're running Supervised so you can run other software, then you've set yourself up for failure

If Debian is already a hassle from scratch then I'll 3rd starting with HA OS.

Debian is fine, it's the Supervised install on top that's the pain

humble mirage
#

Debian + Docker is great

short pivot
#

hassle maybe the wrong word. Just a time commitment to do the install. linux doesn't scare me, I have extensive experience managing boxes via ssh. I read the requirements and nothing really stood out as unexpected. Most of the pain was probably just porting my setup to addons and their configuration.

#

The more I read about addons the more I like them though and the less concern I have about the entire box being only HA. So I maybe I have no reason to avoid HAOS. Can I still configure my RAID with it?

If you need that, a VM would be the way to do it

Ah thats why i ruled it out. Mmm I don't really want to do a VM. So far I've been really happy with Supervised compared to managing all the containers myself.

I am having major issues with remote access for some reason.

But randomly it will just stop working for a few hours at a time and then come back. It just started happening this month and it is pretty annoying. Anything I can try to narrow down what is causing it?

#

And for whatever reason right now I am not able to access it from my desktop through the external IP, but my phone (which also accesses through the external IP) is able to access it. Doesn't make sense..

OK, so here is my hell-loop:

HASSIO noob needs help!

Hi all!

I’m just getting into HASSIO as I’m using an older laptop for it. I’ve setup HASSIO in a VM with VirtualBox but it keeps crashing every hour or so….

I have a core i5 3337u, and 8Gb of ram. I gave my VM 2 cores and 2Gb of ram, as well as a bridged network connection.

Once I install HA. It works fine, great actually! I only install a few integrations (chromecast, tp link KASA, wyze, Ewelink, HomeKit, MyQ, and my router and printer that HA discovered on its own). I didn’t change much in the dashboard at all and only created one automation to try it out (turn on lights after sunset, wait 4hrs and then turn it off… nothing crazy)

At some point, within an hour or so, it just stops working… my VM is still running and there’s no error message, simple the IP address of the machine (same as when it works) but I can’t get the dashboard to load, or to use the devices added to HomeKit… I am also running a jellyfish server from the laptop but that’s all…

I did managed to find a log at some point (can’t remember where I found it) and there was something about the VM not having a heartbeat? Sorry if that sounds stupid, I’m just starting out but HA sounds amazing!! If only I could get it to work!

Do you guys have any clues? Any help would be much appreciated!

Have a rpi4 with Homebridge Ui installed (non-docker) and scrypted (docker). Is it possible to install HA supervisor (as I want to run custom plugins) on the same system?

humble mirage
#

No

#

||Technically possible, but it'll break without warning||

I just installed HAOS in a VM on my Mac using haos_ova-9.0.vdi (from a few weeks go), and though the 4357 page tells me the supervisor is connected, supported, and healthy, the 8123 page returns a Unable to connect error.
Anyone experienced this?

Hi! I have setup with duckdns. How i can move my HA to another router for local testings in another location without internet connection?

#

i believe here is the problem, but how to make it properly to have ability to test it with another router?

#

You have configured an HTTPS certificate in Home Assistant. This means that your internal URL needs to be set to a domain covered by the certficate.

low notch
#

what?

humble mirage
#

Disable SSL

solar yarrow
humble mirage
#

There are no plugins

solar yarrow
#

Thanks!

humble mirage
#

Remove/comment out the lines you have in configuration.yaml for ssl_

#

Then restart, and bingo... no SSL any more

#

Do remember to disable any port forwarding in the router though

Do you have maybe some solution for me too?

What if you try with the LAN IP?

this sounds like your host has no network/internet connection

yes, but the PI has a uplink, shows up in the router, pingable. Its just the way „out“ and i dont know how to solve this

#

is it dns?

keen shale
#

yes. My first thought was a problem with dns, tried changing it on the PI but didnt work.

Had the same problem yesterday, solved itself overnight but after the finished installation HA kept losing connection every 10s.

I have no more ideas

Problem: The log time stamp is months in the past and you're running HA OS

22-06-02 18:53:15 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.utils.codenotary] rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: authentication handshake failed: x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid: current time 2022-06-02T18:53:15Z is before 2022-09-27T06:24:02Z"

Fix:

ha > login
# date -s "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"
# exit
ha > host reload
ha > supervisor logs
ha > host reboot

where

  1. login command drops into an ash shell
  2. the date string is in UTC date -u from another computer's terminal shows the parts, even if it's not the needed format.
  3. exit the os shell
  4. reload the HA instance to pick up the new time
  5. verify fix by inspecting logs
  6. reboot to get supervisor and/or the server running

it seems like my installation is not able to resolve hostnames..

how can i debug that?

but i still have the same problem - i'm not able to resolve hostnames

humble mirage
#

There's a ha command to set the DNS servers

#

It should be documented, or at least listed in the help of ha

junior vortex
#

it seems like the dns server is set correctly: locals: - dns://192.168.94.1

that is correct

connection timed out

but if i do: host google.com 192.168.94.1, then it works

Excuse me: The docker installation is complete, the system has no add-ons, is the system version wrong?

humble mirage
#

No

#

You get no add-ons with Docker

bold breach
#

How to add to the existing basis.

humble mirage
#

What?

#

If you mean integrations then those are part of the core of HA and available in every method

#

If you mean add-ons, those are "just" special Docker images for HAOS, almost all of them have a Docker image you can use instead

manic bane
#

And the more control is nicer anyway

rain ivy

Any container run outside of the add-ons ecosystem can cause that

i would recommend not running HA Supervised and either running...

  1. HA OS if you want the Supervisor features or

Hey @tranquil mortar . Yes, got it sorted in the end by doing a fresh install and then restoring back up. I can't remember what the actual issue wish - not sure I actually found out although if you search my name, there may be some info from then, but main focus on was getting it working again. I had tried to reinstall but hadn't got it working, but will be bit of help, second time round it worked and no issues since with everything running fine.

Think I just followed this guide to reinstall https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/odroid

Its a while a go, but will try and support you if I can. Its pretty straightforward though and sure there's loads of folk on here that understand it better than me.

Good luck

if they don't appear after a reload, check the supervisor logs to see if there's an error showing in regard to the existing backups

Hi installation ppl!
Here having (again) problems with the RTC time attached to my hardware (blue edition, such a forgotten edition...) my problem is that for some reason the time is not kept (cell battery is brand new) so my questions are: could I rely completly on ntp? how to set it up? BIG THANKS in advance!!

#

(I'm so frustrated and so unhappy with the blue edition brick...)

humble mirage
#

If you're using HAOS on that Blue, then it already has NTP

pastel comet
#

then my HAOS is not sync with NTP... or at least the datetime is from 2 days ago...

#

when I type date I get "Mon Oct 3 13:14:36 UTC 2022"

copper steppe
#

ntp in a normal OS should keep in sync just fine with no local battery on the rtc clock. I'm assuming haos should do the same

#

Though there's no ntp process

Well, if you're looking in the SSH add-on, that's a container

#

(like every add-on)

halcyon hornet
copper steppe
#

Ah true :0

#

Can't get out of the ha interface thingy on the console

Pls help!

#

I cannot install packages even being in a console environment (bash like) with same linux like folder tree... so ntp cannot be installed manually... and probably it shoudn't... but then, if date and time are wrong, how can I set them up? how is this set up manually to use ntp and sync again the date and time?

#

if I type host info I see some suspicious output lines such as:
-boot_timestamp: null
-dt_utc: null
-startup_time: null
-timezone: null
-use_ntp: null

It's likely because the lease hasn't expired. You can either wait for it to expire and be renewed (with the new IP address) or, depending on the host OS (not sure if it's possible with HA OS if that's what you're using), manually release and renew.

As far as the static IP address question, centralized management for one. Potential IP address conflicts can result too, although that's probably less of an issue if the static IP address is outside of the DHCP pool

Hi! I am reinstalling on a raspi after running for years migrating from hardware to hardware with backups.
The whole onboarding was a new experience 😄 my existing system was really old.
However, I'm very confused now. I cannot access my instance via SSL. But in a test-install yesterday it worked and I didn't have to do anything in particular. What can prevent HA to listen on port 443? It's just not responding there. But I can reach it ok on HTTP 8123

tiny field
humble mirage
tiny field
#

Doesn't show up. I turn on advanced mode and I am back to 2021 version so I click on supervisor and it just spins.

crude inlet
#

when you restore, you don't need to restore the old HA version. That can be deselected

tiny field
#

I restored from the original backup which happen to be a v2021 backup. I was having tons of issues and am attmempting to not move my Blue as it is cable managed into a rack so yeah

#

This seems to be a problem all over the forums. When you restore from backup, Supervisor doesn't get restored to an old version and so it doesn't work with the old HassOS version.

#

This also means I can't update the OS. I think I am going to have to pull the Blue and flash the OS which honestly is a PIA.

crude inlet
#

The OS is separate from your HA configuration

#

Did you clear out your config directory and restart HA to start fresh?

#

and then restore?

#

And why such an old backup?

tiny field
#

I have tried to clear the config and reboot to start fresh but it always pulls the broken config.

crude inlet
#

you cleared all hidden directories?

tiny field
#

I wanted to start fresh since so much had changed and my entire networking structure changed in the new house so I was just trying to restart fresh, but that doesn't seem to be an option

#

I did am rm -rf config

crude inlet
#

if you really started fresh you would have went through onboarding again

#

you clear the contents of the directory

tiny field
#

Onboarding is a pain in the ass with the blue since you can't just pull the memory. You have to pull the whole thing.

crude inlet
#

no, onboarding as in "create a user", choose your location, etc

#

there's no physical access needed for that

tiny field
#

How would I do that without flashing the OS?

crude inlet
#

clear the config directory

tiny field
#

I did that and it didn't bring up the onboarding.

crude inlet
#

then you didn't do it

tiny field
#

It brought up the messed up config

#

Yes I did

crude inlet
#

nope

tiny field
#

This isn't my first day on linux man.

crude inlet
#

whatever you did failed

tiny field
#

Not according to the terminal window I had.\

crude inlet
#

what was the path

tiny field
#

rm -rf ~/config

#

That is where all the config files, all the backup files (Which I also deleted) were stored

crude inlet
#

backups aren't stored in /config

#

they are in /backup

tiny field
#

I know

#

Still in the /user/*

crude inlet
#

mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant if you were directly connected

#

that's config

#

/mnt/data/supervisor/backup is where the backups are

tiny field
#

Either way I don't have access to terminal or SSH anymore and supervisor is broken and doesn't load.

#

Supervisor just spins. It is all over the forums with other having the same issue and no responses. This goes back for at least a year

#

If I do get an error it says "Error fetching add-on info: cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'method')

crude inlet
#

if you can't connect directly because of the "don't move or touch it" rule, then things are going to be stuck, yeah

tiny field
#

It is in another room with the server rack not my office. I can move it, but it is going to be about a 30 minute process to move it

#

That should be built into the OS. An option to wipe the config and start over.

crude inlet
#

you had so much focus on the OS, when I think you just needed to properly clear the config directory. I can open the shared directory over samba right now and empty it, then reboot from the UI and I would be back at the beginning and asked to create a user

grand pivot
#

A button to 'factory reset' HA would be fraught with peril

crude inlet
#

There's one on the yellow

humble mirage
crude inlet
#

But it wipes and then downloads the OS i believe

tiny field
grand pivot
#

It's okay with physical access, I think

grand pivot
tiny field
#

Sure. Put it in the OS. lol

#

The support would be, you pressed the option, read the warnings, and typed in your password. Start over.

humble mirage
#

We'd have people in here weekly, if not more often, who'd not really understood and lost all their "backups"

tiny field
#

You wouldn't have to clear the backups.

grand pivot
#

You're welcome to file a What the Heck? for that

crude inlet
#

how do you wipe the OS without clearing backups

tiny field
#

You don't have to clear the entire OS. It just dumps fresh config files and starts on-boarding again. Then you backups will be read and have a note that says "Fresh installation to XX version" with your previous backups below that.

crude inlet
#

The backup part could be interesting, but dumping fresh config files and emptying the config directory and restarting is the same thing

maybe you run out of DHCP leases. Seen that already on some networks.
Otherwise to debug, try plugging in a sdcard with Raspberry Pi OS and try an apt-get update
The error you sent with is describing the issue rather fine imo request canceled while waiting for connection

Hey! I installed home assistant natively in an old macbook. Is there a way to turn off the display? Even if I close it, the computer will remain on (which is perfect), but the display will never turn off. Even the optical audio output is always on (a red light coming out of the headphone jack)

I just updated to HA OS 9.1, which I run in a KVM running on Debian 11, and the network failed to come up. From the console, it looks like the ethernet device changed, for some reason, from enp0s3 to ens3, and there was no longer an active network interface. I added another interface using nmcli con edit, assigned the same static IP and gateway that I had before, and it's back up and running. Now my connections look like this:

I rebooted and it came up fine, but I wonder what might have happened there. I've gone through other HA OS updates and rebooted the host machine many times without incident

hello, I would like to know if using a raspberry pi 4b, 4gb with just an sd card and ventilation is enough to run home assistant? in particular i'd like to know if the sd card is good enough as the hdd because it seems to me that often people use an external ssd on their raspberry for home assistant but i don't have a spare ssd

Hello - I am trying to migrate an installation and restore a backup.
All instructions I can find for this tell me to upload the backup on the Onboarding Screen of the new system, clicking on a 'Alternatively, restore from a backup' link, rather than creating a new setup.

However, on my new install (Docker), no such link exists. Has this been removed? If so, what is the method for restoring backups?
Thanks!

Restoring backups is only possible on HAOS

#

If you've gone for a native Docker install you can restore the Home Assistant configuration manually, by extracting that archive from the backup (which ISTR is a zip file)

Ahha ok. Thanks.

Tried overwriting the config with the contents of the zip file both in the folder specified in the docker config, and in the /config directory in the container. Nether worked unfortunately and it just kept asking me to reconfigure. Ended up giving up, and starting from scratch, but I was able to move the zha config over using the migration internal to that, which is the main thing.

It's not a huge thing, but I think the 'backup' section should be marked with a 'here be dragons' label in the config. I'd expect to be able to use a backup file generated there to restore fairly easily, in any install - especially as they can be created in any install.

What subnet does haos use for docker?

A quick Google suggests maybe 172.30.32.0/23

Hi All, i'm using RPi 3B and am transitioning from SD to SSD. I've enable USB boot with program_usb_boot_mode=1 in the config.txt (changed on the SDcard, booted it once, then swapped to SSD). On SSD i have BalenaEtched the latest 64bit version for PI3 as instructed on https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi/. After power-on with SSD i got Ping-replies (wired network) for around 10minutes, after that it is silent now for about another 10 minutes. What should i expect in first boot ? Green LED has not turned on since poweron. [Update] I've rebooted with both SD and SSD(USB) plugged. Now it seems to be booting from SSD. (so appearantly it chooses USB/SSD over SDcard).
