Ill have to put the backup on the correct location first, extracting the complete .tar file's contents into /config right?
Yes
Well, no
Extract it to /home/piadmin/HomeAssistant/config
If you put it in /config on the host you've not been paying attention to what we've been talking about
I meant the mentioned path indeed, not /config
Okay, let's try if I can make that work.. Probably wont start (as it's a back up from dedicated HA, right?)
HA is HA no matter how you install it
Both SSH and RaspianOS are giving me an access denied when trying to move those contents from .tar into the config folder
Still figuring it out, already thanks for all help provided!
sudo
Sudo mv did not work, however when using sudo CP and manually removing the files afterwards it seems to have worked
Pi is rebooting, testing right away
You don't need to reboot
Oh well, I did haha 🙂
Reboots is for OS upgrades
Seems to not have worked, still prompting me to create a new user
Then inspect the container
docker inspect -f '{{ .Mounts }}' containerid
Oh... you used cp
Did you include all the hidden files and folders?
We know ||the answer is no||
Correct indeed
Let's try again
How can I make sure it copy's the hidden files as well?
sudo mv -v ~/boot/HA/* ~/home/piadmin/HomeAssistant/config wont cut it I suppose
cd ~/boot/HA
sudo cp -pr .??* * /home/piadmin/HomeAssistant/config
Someone who knows how to fix this repair (unsupported system network manager issues) iam using HAOS i think
Repairs -> System Information will tell you
Nothing happens when im pressing system information the only thing it says is unsupported system - network manager issues
Did you try rebooting? That usually clears up that kind of issue if you're using Home Assistant OS
yes i wanted to restart it but then it says this: Failed to restart Home Assistant
The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: File configuration.yaml not found****
Reboot != restart
Though... I hope you've downloaded backups from that box
Actually, I hope you have backups
hmm maybe but one time when i did that i could not get in to home assistant local again
but maybe that is the last option i have
For some reason my DNS on my HAOS wont work properly, if I go into ssh and try to ping i get no reply on names, just on IP's.
any other client on the same network i have no issues pinging
Hi, Maybe someone can assist. I am trying to load HACS from SSH, I use the String-wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz/ | bash - to paste into SSH Terminal and it returns the following error. "wget: can't connect to remote host: address not available. " or or "Could not resolve the host IP address" It worked about a week ago and then the add-ons just loaded endlessly. Being a new installation i have tried a new installation of HA and tried on another pc but no luck. Tried countless videos, but not getting there. Unless I get this right my HA experience sort of ends here which would be quite sad. Any help would be appreciated. I have been to the HACS discord server and they suggest I ask here.
Can you ping get.hacs.xyz? If not, then something is wrong with DNS.
I cannot ping get.hacs.xyz
I can Ping it from my CMD prompt.
That seems to suggest that it mat be the way i log into HA. I used my local Ip address being 10.0.0.22
Can you ping 8.8.8.8?
Do you need to be root to do this? Ie “sudo wget…”?
no
Yes I can ping 8.8.8.8
then your network does not resolve dns properly
Thanks, I am learning and getting to know what I am looking for. I see Meatball above is also sparring with a DNS issue. Will work on it and if I resolve it I will post.
Ugh. I semi broke some things. I was using supervised intall on Ubuntu. I run other docker containers, and VM is not an option. The pinned post.. should I just be adding HA core containers to my docker-compose file?
Rather than using Supervised, yes
Basically I want this https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/generic-x86-64#install-home-assistant-container But I'll adapt it to docker-compose?
Scroll down
Excellent 🙂 I just need to rip out the old supervised stuff, app armor, some systemd stuff i guess
@humble mirage Will I just point docker-compose to /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant (which I will move to /docker/homeassistant on my host)
Well... you point it to wherever your config folder is
Well I'm coming from supervised, so I never set any of that.
Yup looks like that's the correct folder.
Okay, so now I need to manage all my own docker containers for addons. that's the gotcha I guess.
Yeah, but it also won't randomly break on you because you overlooked some detail of the Supervised ADR
thats a whole 5 minutes of "manage"
4 minutes of which are using Google to find the official docs for the thing in question
Yeah, I just need to move all the container volumes from the old supervised install to my docker location, and write up the docker compose file and find all the container locations.
Is HA favoring a certain container registry?
homeassistant/amd64-addon-configurator is referenced in the old json file from supervised. The docs for container reference ghcr
The primary registry moved to ghcr a long time ago
If in doubt, follow the official docs ... that you already linked to
I have HA core working. None of my addons are there and I can't find anything in that document to cover addon migration or basic installation.
@warped hearth When using Discord's Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, which can get frustrating for the target. Use Shift + click on the Reply option, or click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.
You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).
Add-ons won't work, they don't exist
So no more z-wavejs2mqtt?
Sure, but not as an add-on
I can't find any documentation about that.
There's no supervised->not supervised migration guide because everyone's setup and requirements are different
Understood. So I'll need to find similar documentation for each of these?
"url": "https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-addons/tree/master/configurator",

"url": "https://github.com/sabeechen/hassio-google-drive-backup",
"url": "https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-zwave-js-ui",
you're pretty much supposed to know all of that already if you read and accepted the requirements for supervised
Other than the backup one, all have external docs for running in Docker
Start with one: https://zwave-js.github.io/zwave-js-ui/#/getting-started/docker
Alright, container is migrated and accessing it directly shows my devices. All keys ported. I think to finalize this step, I want to delete the Z-Wave integration and re-add it? https://i.imgur.com/5MzRAGO.png
enter a new address in configure - configure new server
#zwave-archived is the best place to get help with the whole Z-Wave stack though
Can't access configure - https://i.imgur.com/UrEokHP.png
Okay I can move over to #zwave-archived.
I feel like node-red will be the hardest part of all this. we'll see.
#node-red-archived can likely help you there
Nice. mosquitto doesn't respect PUID/PGID in docker. It just uses 1883:1883.
Is there any guidance on multicast for docker installations?
How did you configure your container networking
Using bridge
sorry, hold ujp
I don't specify anything in docker compose, so it's the default which I believe is a bridge. I do have multiple IP's on the host.
Host networking is what is required for docker
Ok. I'll do some more reading and see how that'll affect my setup.
It shouldn't affect it. Just ensure other containers which have ports forwarded aren't conflicting
I do have multiple IP's for the server. So I can hopefully set HA to use host mode and give it a specific host IP
so 1.2.3.4 can be the HA host IP and all those ports have to party. Then I can have my other internal IP's with my existing configs.
It doesn't matter if the IP is shared though?
For HA? I'd have to make sure there's no port conflicts. Otherwise linux will let me bind to the same port if it's on multiple IP's.
Alright, I"m down to the last component to migrate, influxdb. Trying to get the data ported over.
I've never had issues with port conflicts and I have a bunch of docker containers running
is there an easier way to change the dns settings for haos without nmcli? i'm trying to follow this guide: https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/blob/dev/Documentation/network.md#static-ip and i guess it's a bit outdated
nvm i found the options in gui and then found the ha dns options --servers command
Is there any guide for install influxdb on docker? I'm finding a lot of older v1 stuff. influxdb v2 is quite different.
Is there any guide for install influxdb
Problem by installing homeassistant
So, I got things working with bridge networking. I setup an mdns repeater (image: flungo/avahi) which has 2 networks, one in my default bridge network, and then another using macvlan which lets me assign a specific local IP. It will broadcast mDNS on my lan into/inside the docker network.
what command can I input in the cli terminal to get the mac address, I dont have a network connection to my distro yet and need the physical address for psk
nvm nmcli did it
@mighty mango hmm. nmcli will do it
But you need to enter login first to get to the os console
forgot about that
But good question. Not sure it appears in the custom commands
so I tried supervisor update 2022.11.1, which doesnt work (issue raised). after that I tried to restart... wont go. Even tried the dev channel, but something blocks that too...
nothing special in logs as far as I see
returning to beta channel, I see a new SU 2022.11.2, and OS 9.3. but still can not restart
my home assistant core installation works on Raspberry pi, is in home assistant program we can change the different dns resolver then host machine? as my pihole also working on same machine so my host machine using dns resolver (1.1.1.1). but for home asssistant program i want to use my local host (192.168.1.70:53). is it possibile?
No
ok, thanks
just curiosity question, in Debian we can provide multiple dns resolver IP with leaving space in between. what is the line on action of whole mechnisum. is all querries first checked by first resolver. if it fail then it will carry forward. or both dns rsolver used randomly. is it recommended i put (192.168.1.70 1.1.1.1). is it useful like first system look from local dns resolver if fail then it will go to cloudflare.
second option i want to explore if i will use docker compose. in docker engine can we define different dns resolver then the host machine for overall all docker apps.
Depends on the fail, if the server doesn't respond it'll move to the "next" one - if it responds with a failure code it won't
So, if you query your local DNS server for example.org and it says no such domain it stops, if you query it and it times out it moves on
Thanks Tinkerer
Same here. Host reboot does not change a thing. SU repair results in time-out exceeded. Update does not do anything. Host is up, observer says everything alright but HA does not come up.
After reboot yesterday I had to connect directly and start core in cli.
And start all addons manually
uhm... which HA version was that? mine is OS 2022.11.2, and all was fine (could restart as much as needed) until I tried the SU updater that popped up...
all add-ons are (still) running too
Want to try what bdraco suggested but only have access to the OS cli now. That one does not allow docker command...
I got the update to SU 2022.11.0 yesterday, and at some point rebooted host for an unrelated reason. I had HA 2022.11.2
You need the community ssh addon with protection mode off to run docker commands
thx. so for now, the main thing we should NOT do is host reboot, for it wont bring back the system/frontend? Just noticed btw that SU sees no more update available and 2022.10.2 as latest
Yeah well, can't run add-ons without HA 😉
I have the add-on but only configured for Ingress.
well if you're directly connected then you enter login' to run docker commands
Probably because you left the beta channel, 2022.10.2 is the latest stable.
Is it possible to delete a lib required by a custom component so that it can be reinstalled. Using haos installation on a RPi. I suspect that it is corrupt somehow.
but 2022.11.2 was released just today, even after my issue post: https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/releases/tag/2022.11.2
instead of community add-on with protection mode off, can we also use a terminal to login the shell (I do that for running the py-spy commands) on port 22222, see https://community.home-assistant.io/t/instructions-to-install-py-spy-on-haos/480473
yeah that would do
Sorry, first time I read that I saw "we can" and I nodded my head
so is install --upgrade dbus-fast the fix to the issue? is that what we're after now?
Or do as @violet ridge suggests in the issue, probably the best option. My only issue was getting access to the docker command but login did the trick as cogneato suggested.
I've just added my reply to that, it seems not so very obvious tbh.... where will this take the many HAOS users that never ssh into the host?
True, but only beta users should have been this release. They should be a bit more adventurous 😉
My HA is back up and running. My add-ons did not have autostart in the proces.
My HA still is running....... including add-ons. Beta is not dev... so no, HAOS users running beta wont be used to this
Did you fix the add-ons already, or is this still an issue
Yes, all good.
@little swift are you connected to 22222?
yep
so ha su info
gives you your arch
then you follow the rest, copy paste each line individually
huh, thats odd, I have a celeron mini-pc....
that works
oh you are saying it's odd that it shows AMD
that's not odd
@little swift any success?
Ssh into the host is an option obviously but not required. For the majority of users that have not set that up they can connect a monitor and keyboard
Or for anyone that doesn't like doing any commands here, reinstall and restore will work
Funny enough I find that way more cumbersome, especially since my device running HA is not that close….
But I get what you’re saying.
Yea i mean obviously I wish no one had to do any of this and expect people to pick the least cumbersome approach for them. I'm just pointing out there's options besides host ssh
Looking for the Best/easiest way to move from a VM install to HA OS on a ras pie
Can I copy root folder and paste?
How would a backup behave?
Do integrations, automations everything come with?
What about how will ZHA and the zigbee devices behave?
I know that zigbee hubs make their own network and all.. not sure where that data is stored. Hopefully wont have to repair all my devices
is there a way to do the ssh debug thing without using USB remotely
have Samba enabled. anywhere to drop the file on there instead
What would be the command to update supervisor 2022.11.2 from cli in home assistant blue?
the blue doesn't have a different cli. It's all the same HA
The blue is an odroid n2+ with a case
On github, only commands that can be executed when installed with docker were talked about.
version="2022.11.2" arch=docker image ls | grep -- '-hassio-observer' | awk '{print $1}' | awk -F/ '{print $3}' | awk -F- '{print $1}' && docker pull "ghcr.io/home-assistant/${arch}-hassio-supervisor:${version}" && docker tag "ghcr.io/home-assistant/${arch}-hassio-supervisor:${version}" "ghcr.io/home-assistant/${arch}-hassio-supervisor:latest" && docker stop hassio_supervisor && docker rm hassio_supervisor
HA OS includes docker. The supervisor is a docker container. HA is a docker container.
When the command is executed, a message like 'zsh: command not found: docker' is output.
supervisor update --version 2022.11.2
I can't update even with this command.
Are you using the "SSH and Web Terminal" add-on or the "Terminal & SSH" addon
You have to be using the first one
With protection mode off
Otherwise you can connect keyboard and monitor to your Blue and do it that way
I launched a terminal in the studio code server addon and entered commands.
that also does not have a protection mode option, so it would be the same
The addon cannot be installed at this time. It seems messed up.
do you not have a usb keyboard and hdmi monitor?
i do but im miles away from my install lol
Then you should probably wait until the distance is measured in feet rather than in miles 😉
well we use km's but thought id say miles as most people likely would understand it more 😂
I'm out of the house right now... I don't have a way to access HA at home. I'm trying to find out if I can install the SSH addon with CLI... but I don't know how.
It should probably be < 1m 😉
If you're using HAOS you should stick to installing addons through the UI most likely
need longer arms 😂
ive just got the wrong damn terminal addon so cant run the command 😂 if only i went with ssh and web terminal
People say that if I restart during the supervisor update, I can't connect to HA, so I can't reboot.. I can't even install SSH in the web UI...
Hmm.. it looks really messed up..
if anything like mine was you could reboot but it goes into rescue mode and you need a keyboard and screen to pass it and run core start
I'm out of the house... I go home only on Thursday. I can't access HA.. ㅠㅠ
if its all still running leave it till thursday
ha addons install core_ssh
Is this command to install Terminal & SSH add-on?
That could be one way.
hi, how can I update supervisor via CLI? Via de UI it does not work (it's says installing for a day now... a hard reboot of the HA Blue did not worked)
#general-archived message
Any idea how to resolve this issue?
Hello I have an Argon One v2 m.2 case for my pi4 running home assistant OS. I have the always on setting enabled inside the Argon. Is this the correct setup with this case or should I put it back to default so I can restart the pi if I need to through the app?
You can still restart the pi if needed. The always on is what it defaults to after power loss
By having that function, it means your Pi will automatically come back online after any power cut or similar
Awesome thanks. Well then that’s the setting I want.
Yup, I have my box set to auto-start after power. Kindof needed because it also runs my firewall etc
Hi friends... I have a macbook pro 2018 that I do not use anymore. I am thinking of using it dedicated for home assistant. Can I install HA OS on it?
Hi Mandeep, looks like the only supported way would be to run HAOS as a virtual image: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/macos/
Thanks @cinder marsh
can one change the ntp server on haos? I cant seem to find any recent solutions
my uni blocks ntp servers by default
cant seem to change the systemd timesyncd file
Does anyone know how to fix the recent SU issue on a proxmox VM without the Terminal Addon (I can't start that addon unfortunately)? Thanks!
Is it a problem with os 9.3? My proxmox vm is restarting every hour now
I tried upgrading yesterday from Supervisor 2022.11.0 to 202.11.2 and it appears to hang during the upgrade... for several hours... before it gave up. Now I can't even do a backup with HA saying "Creating a backup is not possible right now because the system is in startup state." HELP!
An more officially hosted script to go with a doc as an alternative to the link right above you
I've got a similar problem, did a host reboot and now it's toast ! can't get anything to work although observer thinks everything is healthy !
same issue like @magic flume
@magic flume same link above if you are running HA OS and beta
A small number of users on the beta or development update channels running Home Assistant OS are impacted by a significant issue that prevents the Supervisor from working properly and from updating itself to a working version. You are not impacted if you are using a stable release of Home Assistant or run Home Assistant Supervised, Home Assista...
i have access to the ha prompt directly thru keyboard+hdmi, is there a way to drop into a shell from here or do i need to faff about with the authorized_keys file to use a separate computer and ssh in?
nvm i found it
didn't see it pop up in the header -- perhaps because of the interrupted state? But for those also looking for that:
At the ha > prompt type login to drop to a shell that will allow you to run the fix in the Manual Update from CLI section of the forum post.
also added that tidbit to the forum thread so it could help someone else 🙂
If you can access the console via keyboard. curl -o - https://version.home-assistant.io/update-supervisor.txt | sh
that should get you in a good state
yup
It got me into a recoverable state. wasn't able to update supervisor from the frontend but that got me to where i could then use the HA CLI to supervisor update and reboot and then everything came up normal
Back on track again. Thx for the help from here. My hair started to get grey 🙂
Hello, I just joined the discord even though I'm using Home Assistant since January.
Today I got an Echo device and wanted to finally expose my HA to the external but I'm not able to configure DuckDNS + Nginx (as I found in several guides online) because navigating in https to the alias, it makes my router navigate to a setup wizard. Could it be related to my router? I have the one provided by my ISP
Try using a port other than 443
It's not uncommon for cheap ISP routers to not support forwarding of the port used for their admin interface, so pick another one of the 65,534 other ports
Hey guys, I am on a Mac running VMware Fusion trying to install the VirtualBox.vdi and when I follow the steps, the file for the unzipped vdi is greyed out. Any thoughts?
Thing is that then I'm not able to navigate through https to the HA instance. Mapping a random port (using 4443 for my 8123) for http is working fine, but Alexa skills require an https endpoint, which I'm not able to provide :/
Uh, that sounds like an alternative. Do you have any resource I can look into?
Google for home assistant cloudflare tunnel
You're more than right.
There should be a few dozen guides... I don't use it because my ISP router doesn't suck 😛
Haha, lucky you! Let's see if this works, otherwise I'm going to look for a new router out there
Thank you, will update once I finish messing up with this
Could it be that I am running the regular version of Fusion and need to upgrade to the Pro version?
@spare trellis I don't know if you're still here, but the advice you got about "the only supported way would be to run HAOS as a virtual image" is incorrect. You can run HAOS perfectly OK natively on an intel mac.
the .vmdk worked perfectly. thanks.
If I move my data disk to a NVMe connected via USB, can I keep the data if I swap the same NVMe to a PCIe slot later or will HAOS not be able to detect the changed device path?
@copper steppe do you mean using generic x86-64 HAOS on a macbook pro?
yeah, on an intel mac, that works fine. worked for me.
yeah ok, I'll keep that in mind.
has anyone installed this new core 2022.11.3 update on a supervised installation?
just performed the update on a supervised installation, no issues
Noice! || Now switch to HA OS or Container ||
maybe he hates himself and likes pain
no pain no gain
but also, it's been stable since I installed it a few months ago so I have no reason to switch installation type
As long as you follow the requirements strictly, it's fine
not sure if it's related, but after this core update, my google assistant local fulfilment time is 365ms and it actually switched to local fulfilment instantly instead of having to wait an hour plus for it to change over from cloud
nice
And you're running it on debian, with nothing else installed on the machine except HA and Any add-ons installed directly in HA?
You're smarter than most who try supervised. You're actually following the instructions lol
it's an sbc dedicated to HA, it makes sense not to run anything else on it except HA
HAOS would make it even easier if you want a supervisor
supervised on an sbc?!
can't run HAOS on orange pi 4 lts
lack of driver support, it matches the odroid c2 but no wifi
OK. Shouldn't really run ha on wifi anyway, it's probably a bit unreliable for a server...
it's not to run ha on wifi, it's to run an iot wlan with external access toggle
and it works a treat
the wlan is managed by a HA add-on too
@brittle sail it's fast, onboard emmc and a minimal debian install
Hi, all! New to the community. Trying to get HAOS running and stuck on the "Preparing" screen. Latest build, pi 4. Latest message is:
"[supervisor.resolution.fixup] Starting system autofix at state CoreState.RUNNING
22-11-16 17:37:20 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.resolution.fixup] System autofix complete"
It's been on that for about an hour
Had raspbian installed on this SD card prior to flashing with HAOS
any errors further up? does your box have internet?
It is connected over ethernet, and does have internet. It doesn't look like errors? This is some of what preceeded where I am stuck (grabbed from web).
22-11-16 17:37:17 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.resolution.checks.base] Run check for IssueType.DNS_SERVER_IPV6_ERROR/ContextType.DNS_SERVER

So, I did notice that my network time is 1 hr later than actual local time for some reason. I corrected that, but after a reboot of the pi HAOS didn't pick up the correct time. I'm refreshing the SD card and going to try again. Not sure if any of that matters
Is this during HAOS install, or first-boot? The 1 hour may be timezone setting, or daylight saving...
Hi all! I'm very interested in exploring a docker installation of Home Assistant supervised on a Raspberry Pi. I saw a HA vlogger post a how-to on this a couple years ago and wanted to check if it is still viable, even if it's not an official install method.
Since the container installation doesn't include many features, I thought this was a nice compromise if I wanted the Pi to serve other containerized apps, separate from HA
who told you that the featureset is limited in container?
its quite the opposite in my experience
Supervised is viable in the same way that learning to juggle with running chainsaws is viable. Sure, you can do it, but it's going to hurt.
You either run HAOS if you want add-ons, or Container if you want control and the flexibility of installing other software.
My log has suddenly started filling up with these messages, any way to track them down? Doesnt seem to relate to anything in configuration.yaml

Hi Guys, i´ve installed this morning Homeassistant Supervised Version with this tutorial:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/guide-how-to-install-home-assistant-supervised-on-rpi4-with-raspios-64-bit-october-2022/480855/14
(Installed on a Raspi4 with the latest Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit) Debian Bullseye
But now when i go to add-ons there is a red dot on the right upper corner and i cant start the addon. Did someone know whats wrong?ˋ
My HA seems to be broken all around the place, not sure where to look. It is HA OS v 9.3, with HA 22.11.2, Supervisor 2022.11.0. I think the last thing I did was an OS update. It does not come back, when I connect the monitor, the GRUB boots in Slot B (rescue Shell). When I manually change that to Slot A (OK=1, Try = 3), HA comes back, but it si broken. It shows this
Invalid config
The following integrations and platforms could not be set up:
recorder (Show logs)
history (Show logs)
logbook (Show logs)
energy (Show logs)
presence_simulation (Show logs)
default_config (Show logs)
Please check your config and logs.
23 minutes ago
Recorder
The recorder could not start, check the logs
23 minutes ago
Checking the logs. they just say that the components failed to start
I have tried to restore an older version, but it says
Could not restore backup
Restoring a backup is not possible right now because the system is in startup state.
That's a really shit guide - I guess you missed all the posts in that thread basically saying if you do this it'll be broken before you begin
What's wrong is that ... well, you followed a guide written by somebody who really shouldn't be writing guides
The fix is easy - flash HAOS instead
WTF... I didn't think about whether it was correct or not. with the title guide was trusting with that
can i install with haos on this pi FHEM too?
when i install Homeassistant under Raspberry OS, i can install easy my FHEM
(With VNC)
Not VNC, but there's no local UI
https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi is the guide you should have followed, and indeed in general the official docs are less likely to lead you into a minefield
And now is no way to have the supervisor version on a Pi with the org. software? At the Moment i´ve only an unsupported message from the networkmanager (but the settings in the configs are ok). I like the UI... thats not so good..
But no way at the moment to use the supervisor version on a Raspi OS?
What?

That's what Home Assistant OS is for
If you want the supervisor, use HAOS
Simples
Was about to type that cogneato beat me 😂
Oooh It's gonna be a good day

What happened
Nothing. I was just being positive about posting a link before you did 😅
Thanks.
I am back. Thanks @crude inlet , I thought I lost it. Such a relief. I was relying on backup, never imagined the restore would not work 🙂
Restore would work with a fresh reinstall, but yeah not necessary
Hi, I have a huge problem and would appreciate some help. I am desperate to get an installation of HA. I have worked at it for about a week and all goes well until I want to load HACS from a SSH terminal. I have tried what I thing is everything. I gave a dedicated laptop which I reloaded a fresh windows 10 and then loaded HA. But still the SSH terminal returns the same error when i insert the HACVS string. The error is "Connecting to get.hacs.xyz (172.67.143.44:443) Next line wget: bad address 'raw githubusercontent.com' . Is there something wrong with my SSH setup or is it on github side. I can ping 172.67.143.44:443 and amazon.com OK.
a fresh windows 10 and then loaded HA
This is a concern. How are you running HA?
Using virtualbox and setup as per the HA guidelines using the VDI file and the create user when HA comes up (the 20 minute screen) and log in on the IP from my router.
used host mode or bridged at net settings?
Bridged and selected the wifi interface.
so try host mode for testing - if the problem vanished you will try to take another configuration
Some background. About a week ago i managed to get SSH installed, Went throught the procedure to get HACS as an add on and it was perfect. I install Grid and a few other HACS addons and all was well. I then saw another addon and when retrieving it it just ran download endlessly. overningt. and then had to reload HA and this is where I am.
in vm world "bridged" is usually host mode
HACS doesn't do add-ons, FYI
Custom components yes, add-ons, no
Those things are quite different
Opps not sure of the terms but i am sure you know what i mean.
nah bridged makes another interface and bridge this to host. host use the host network direct, mstone
pretty sure my vm in bridged mode creates its own interface on the host
you think in docker - where network_mode: host has this similar effect
you just confirmed me
then you missreading me
no
however, switch the mode @placid sage if this fixes your problem
haos runs in host mode already
Switched to host on VM and lost comms on HA.
lol
@placid sage what are you entering in the ssh add-on terminal
don't switch the vm networking to host
You want bridged so your VM appears with its own IP on your network
But bridging wifi involves some virtualbox magic. Sometimes it works out
If ethernet is an option on this laptop, you should use that
Stopped the VM session and restarting. In network mode I can use 10.0.0.28 as indicated by the HA ready screen. In host mode it gives me the IP 192.168.56.101/24.
Hey guys, I'm installing VirtualBox on a Mac Mini Server and the option to select the downloaded vdi file is greyed out. Any ideas?
did you extract it?
and you use that as harddisk ? not as disk drive ?
I logged in with the vm on Host and logged into HA with that address. 192.168.56.101/24. I get the same error and cannot ping 8.8.8.8 Looks like I maust switch back to Bridged. I am just a bit usnsure of the key and passwords relevance on the SSH terminal. maybe the issue is there.
Hi guys. Probably asked before but found no trace of it... When upgrading, be it core or plugins, will it always check dependencies and abort if not met or will it be possible to wreck the install by taking upgrades in wrong order?
There are no plugins
addons then
#integrations-archived integrate Home Assistant with devices or services, or provide functionality within Home Assistant.
#add-ons-archived provide additional software or services, which an integration could possibility integrate with. Add-ons are for Home Assistant OS and Supervised only, other install methods can install software other ways.
No, like this one for example 'url: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-ssh'
Then ... they're irrelevant
They're entirely external to HA and upgrading, downgrading, or removing them won't break HA itself
At worst some integrations will fail because the software they were talking to isn't there any more/needs an updated integration
Ok, that's good to know. I am always nervous when upgrading if all deps are met... 🙂
Thanks 🙂
My HA seems to be stuck while updating, the update status is 'spinning' but a few hours later still no progress. Rebooting does not solve it... Anyone know how to abort an update of core or supervisor? Both are stuck now...
One thing to notice is that VIrtualBox is looking for a link to an ISO. I sthere any way to set VirtualBox to look for a VDI or am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I have switched back to bridged Network and logged in. Is there someone who can try and work on what we should be able to ping from the SSH terminal to test resolving the IP and addresses. After this I have to scrap the whole HA idea which will be rather sad for me.
Then you're in the wrong setting
Ok, thanks. Do you know how to change that setting?
Is that Virtual box 7
yes
I left that blank and the next screen asks for the VDI file. See if that works. Please let me know.
If I leave the ISO Image file blank, the next screen is for hardware configuration, then the screen after that is for the VIrtual HD.
Thats possible, did it a day or so ago.
@humble mirage is the above discord link for my issue.
Sorry, just a bit confused. But seeing you are here is there any advice on my issue.
Desperate.
No
I don't use Windows to run stuff I care about
I don't even know what VM platform you're using
And I don't use HAOS
Oh Dear, I am just looking for HA to do some minor stuff around the house, like solar inverter interface, dashboard, try my hand at a bit of yaml. Have Alexa, does not do the job. Have Smartthings, same.
All I can say is that there's something broken, maybe with the PC, maybe with the VM platform, maybe with your DNS... no idea. Somebody who understands those things will need to help you
I think I got it running. Thanks for the help
Thanks. I have tried everything and I am convinced it is the get.hacs.xyz and or raw.githubusercontent.com. I think most of the guys have a working installation and new installations are an issue. Looks like @icy arch is doing a new installation and see if his works.
Hmm, its not my day today. Ive install the hassos on my pi but under addons is all grey.
I dont understand why
With balena etcher and restore my backup (from the supervised version)
if you've done a full restore, and it's done, reboot the host at Settings > system > hardware > 3 dots in the upper right corner
Ill test it.. thx
@icy arch It looks like you are doing a new install. I have a problem with loading HACS from SSH terminal. Would you mind letting me know if you can get SSH terminal loaded and then enter the string wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash - and see if it installs HACS. That is where I am stuck and if yours works we can check my configs.
Youre my hero.. thanks
I'm running HA on UnRaid in a VM (HA v2022.11.2, Supervisor v2022.11.0, OS v9.3, Frontend v20221108.0 - latest). Up until recently everything's been working fine, but today I can't seem to update. I see the following errors in the logs from Supervisor: https://pastebin.com/BDYJqDpL
I am on 2022.11.3 Where can I find a version 0222.10.2.
Are you trying to downgrade Home Assistant Core?
(it's not going to help you with your problem though)
Thanks, I have breezed through the link. I dont have a backup as this is a new install. Ideally I want to do a new install with ver 2022.10.2
It won't fix the problem
If nothing else, HA runs in a different container to that SSH add-on, so nothing that happens in there can impact the SSH environment
It'd be like hoping that by rebooting your phone it'll fix the PC
Noted. But where do I go from here. I have two laptops on the desk with HA loaded. One will be dedicated and I am the only one in the WWW (whole wide world) who cannot get an instance of HA with HACS running. Surely HA cannot be that difficult that I must give up. I am sure that is not the HA ethos. (Apologies for the rant.)
There's something broken with your setup...
It could be DNS, and it often is
It could be the VM, and it's not uncommon - particularly if you're bridging WiFi
Just a thought. I see on the HA Releases page that the updates are the first Wednesday fo the month. Don't know if that is coincidence but that is about the time my issue started. I had a full HA running with HACS and then it broke. About 2-10-2022 the first Wednesday. Hence the request for 2022.10.2
Are you using docker run or docker compose?
I am planning on upgrading my RPi HA and installing it on an Optiplex 7050 Micro instead. It sounds like these are pretty popular computers for HA. Does anyone have any past experiences, thoughts, or suggestions?
I'm running HASSOS in a VM on Proxmox. Which worked really well so far. Until the supervisor just decided to crash while updating the SSH&Terminal Addon.
According to the logs it encountered a "TypeError: Expected unicode, got RaucState"
How do I fix this?
https://imgur.com/a/VZe7EBu (screenshot of logs visible in the console)
running HA on a pi 4 and installed dnsmasq, however using nslookup returns the public ip address instead of the HA ip because it uses 8.8.8.8. I've changed my router dns server 1 to my HA ip, but nslookup still searches 8.8.8.8
anyone have any advice?
Are you running in docker?
I think docker defaults to 8.8.8.8, if I recall correctly.
Nope, just cmd on windows
There has to be a config file on the Pi that is telling it to use that address.
I meant on the Pi. Are you running HA inside docker?
If you’re not sure, go to a console on the actual Pi (with HDMI and usb keyboard) and type ‘docker ps’
That makes sense.
Not that I'm aware? I followed this for the install https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi
Ok. Did you flash a pre-made image from HA?
Ie are you using haos?
So, that link installs haos.
Check the file /etc/default/docker
I'm so confused, I've just installed Home Assistant in my VM, and I can ping the IP fine and access IP:4357. However, IP:8123 doesn't work
Which VM environment?
Virtualbox
Make sure you set the ethernet to bridge mode.
Did you download the virtualbox premade image from here:
yeah
Hmmm.
the device has the hostname homeassistant on my router and as I said I can browse the observer fine
"Supervisor: Connected
Supported: Supported
Healthy: Healthy "
I don’t use virtualbox myself, so this is above my paygrade.
how do i do that..? 😅 can i view within home assistant, or do i need to go through the pi terminal
@crude inlet https://imgur.com/8ly7suH
How about su logs
Myself or kris? i am because my router doesnt support a nat loopback
I also seem to be having issues getting HA OS (RPI 4) to update. Update didn't finish for several hours - couldn't restart home assistant or the RPI through HA dashboard, nor start SSH so I could get in and have a look. Ended up pulling the power to get it to do anything. Got it to restart once it was back online and did a couple clean restarts, but we're back to a spinning wheel on updates.
https://pastebin.com/2fPq8JNY Supervisor Log (via system log)
Also trying to update HA OS gives this error:
failed to call service update/install. Error updating Home Assistant Operating System: OSManager.update' blocked from execution, system is not running - CoreState.STARTUP
@glass jewel running beta?
I think i am effected too
@crude inlet I think I am actually
I switched to the beta channel last year when it solved my daily issue with the pi going offline
Never switched back to stable haha
Be helpful if I scrolled up huh
I saw some similar issues but missed that - cheers
Well I'll put that on the weekend to do list, thanks for flagging
@glass jewel if you have access to the host console it's a quick fix
I shut down to try a new SD card and my latest backup, put the original SD Card back in but can't get back in
if I connect a monitor can I see anything?
@ivory field I had same issue, similar setup. It was the supervisor update that caused it.
Hi everybody! I have a Pi bolted to the back of a monitor running Raspberry Pi OS, and I want to still be able to use that Pi as a desktop Linux machine, but have it also host a HA instance, last night I got HA running in docker, only to discover I can't install the ESPHome add-on? apparently, I need to use "supervised" HA? and that's not what's installed by default when using docker. I was just wondering if anyone has a similar use case, and whether there's a good reason to not virtualise HA, or if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
ah ok, so supervisor isn't missing as the result of some compatibility issue with docker, i just need to install them manually on the command line?
Well HA Supervised and HA OS are the two installation methods that have the Supervisor which enables the add-on function which is a way to install other software using the HA UI
HA Container which you installed doesn't have that, but you can just install other software manually like you did with HA itself
brilliant, thanks Ill have a look at the command line link you sent through
I configured a VirtualBox on a new (and Improved!) machine, with the current haos_ova-9.3.vdi, and a current Full Backup (restore). It starts quick, but all my addons are greyed out. I don't see any errors when I try to start them, but they don't appear to be running. Any ideas?
I vaguelly recall having the same thing. Have you rebooted the haos since you did the restore?
I did a ha> host reboot .. I am honestly not sure exactly what that does, but it seems to fix problems sometimes
huh .. it seems like it just got better on its own. Perhaps there was background stuff still processing. Thanks!
Yay Magic 🙂
Same issue here. System is still at freeze state 😦
@tranquil flax @jolly plover if you were running beta: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/supervisor-november-beta-issue-impacting-users-on-home-assistant-beta-dev-channels/489895
Yes. I know and I already did that.
I was able to update the supervisor but still have issues with backups due to freeze state error.
Were you running the beta?
yup
and I wall started with the supervisor update
Right now I was able to create a backup, but in the end got an error. However the backup file was created. I am creating a new VM to test the backup.
If influx and energy are ok, I'll keep it.
Hi All! I use Home Assistant OS. End i don't know how to set a environment variable.
Anyone can tell me how can i do that??
Thanks!
Why do you think you want that?
I need to set a envrironment variable with the frigate API KEY.
PLUS_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxx
Ok... so what is this supposed to tell me exactly? https://www.home-assistant.io/more-info/unsupported/os_agent
I'm pretty sure my OS-Agent is already installed, but the git page doesn't say how to actually start it... and I'm having an odd issue right now where debian doesn't want to recognize any of the downloaded filed from the git link in that page as debian files
By the documentation
In config/frigate.yml
Just add:
environment_vars:
PLUS_API_KEY: xxxxxxxxxxxx
But doesn't work!
Are you including frigate.yaml into config.yaml? (sorry, I have no direct experience with this at all)
Yes, other configs are OK!
is this envvar for addon, or for integration? (did you restart the right thing?)
I did it... in the Configurations/Add-Ons/Frigate/Adjusts/ Edit as yaml
Then added the line:
plus_api_key: xxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks
Good Morning, are there any problems in you 2022.11.3 installations?
After updating from 2022.11.2 to 2022.11.3 I run out of memory.
Regarding the glance overview it is the python3 service. Any Ideas?
I created an Issue on github and will downgrade to 11.2
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/82309
If there are any ideas I would be happy to test it out. 🙂
Hi All, is there a way to disable the USB autosuspend feature in Home Assistant OS?
I'm trying to install for the first time - got the screen "Preparing Home Assistant" - nothing .......???
can take up to 20 minutes
Thanks, I left it for quite some time, gave up and started again from scratch - waiting again....... it appears the virtual machine on my mac re-boots from time to time??
dunno, have no mac^^
HomeAssistant OS on Pi, pressed update (on both core & supervisor) but its been stuck all day and does not want to restart from webui. Hard reset didnt do much good - time to re-image sd card and restore backup?
Installed version 2022.11.0
Latest version 2022.11.2
no betas
whops, first was the core version
Then you'll need to take a look at your logs. Either connecting directly or using whatever access you have set up for yourself through add-ons
Tried looking, but nothing stood out - might be looking in the wrong place?
ha core logs and ha su logs
My hassio is still not ok after the Supervisor issues. I can't create new backups (Unknown error, see supervisor logs) and the Supervisor logs are all green. Any sugestions?
I am already running Supervisor 2022.11.2.
@jolly plover start by rebooting the host, then check logs again
Seem anything helpful was probably lost with this mornings hard reset; figured i'd try using the script in the beta link before pulling the sd card it seems to have moved everything along. Cheers!
I did that and now I am backing up item by item to identify the issue and so far it appears to be influxdb.
I corrected the supervisor issue, but now all my add-ons are missing. Is there a way to rebuild them without uninstalling and reinstalling each add-on?
Hi - I have a Samsung Chromebook Pro that I wish to convert to a server and run home assistant on it, is this possible?
🤣

I mean, if you can root it and run Debian on it, you could probably run HA Container
Whether that's a good experience or not ...
Sooo, I am having some issues with installing HA on a Pi4 with SSD
not sure how old that chromebook is, but many from the last few years support running debian. granted, it's in a container in a VM, so there's that lol
so HA container would be a container within a container within a VM 
you rebooted ? After a reboot my add-on appeared again
Yes, multiple times. They appear they just wont start because the image is missing.
Hello on what devices i can install home assistant?
yes but it says rasberry pi 3 or 4 and they are rare to find
If you just want Home Assistant itself, then any Linux will do
Sure, it says that, if you look only at the Pi page
maybe on android possable?
ok android running termux?
yes i know started to run it on galayx s6 yesturday no sucess
depends on whether you're the "hey look, I installed HA on this completely unsuitable platform!" kinda guys
"I installed Doom on my Mac's touchbar!"
im trying now to install linux unbunti to android then trying to run HA
Trying to turn your phone into a server... that's not a sane plan
Just run it in a VM on any computer you have
im living in europe to run computer 24/7 its now too expensive
Yes, host reboot
A second hand laptop from the last decade will likely idle in the 5W to 10W range, not a lot higher than a Pi4
If it has a CPUMark of 900 or higher than it's at as fast as a Pi4
Not too shabby at all
USB C network adapter and it looks like it'd be a fairly decent mini "server"
so you saying to scrap idea to run it on android?
Running it on Android isn't a good plan
If you're happy to troubleshoot the many problems you're going to have, and do that on your own, then go for it
i used termux to install HA but it ceaps poping errors about wheels
The kind of people who run HA on Android are also the ones who aren't bothered by the fact that they left "supported" behind in the rear view mirror and are comfortable troubleshooting things like that
If you're not very confident in doing that, don't use Android
Even with the most expensive power we have had in norway so far (peak of €1 per kwh) a 100w system would be €2.4 per day, or €72 per month, which would not be accurate as that is peak, and you can get away with a lot less than 100w, I'm currently pulling 82w average on a DL380 Gen9 with average price of €0.2 tomorrow, albeit we were at €0.001 last week, so price does flux
actually i wold be happy to run it on android, but im running out of ideas
i have the rasberry pi b and zero models also

You may get away with a pure Core install on those, but the lack of RAM is going to be an issue
i will run only esp8266 modules
If you're only using ESPs... what is the point of Home Assistant?
to collect temperature data and easy code transfer if i need to update it
That seems overkill, but it's going to struggle to do HA and the required ESPHome software on a Zero/B
512 MB of RAM isn't enough
hmm but do i need to install linux on the gpd pocket?
taking long time to run pc mark
That's the better approach, but if it runs Windows you could use VirtualBox
Just Google the CPU in it to find the CPUMark
o i started the full tests it runs now 3d tests
I'm happy to say that Home Assistant doesn't care about the graphics card
so basickly then it needs os to run a virtual box to run linux that runs home asistant
Well, no
If you want Home Assistant OS (for add-ons) then you can try installing HAOS directly
If that doesn't work, and you still want add-ons, then install something like Proxmox and then install HAOS in a VM
Alternatively, if you know Docker, install Debian and https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#docker-compose
so it will run windows and in vm it will run HA
Sure
ok it says 777.1 on cpu mark
That's a little low, somewhere between a Pi3 and a Pi4
I'd not try to run a VM on that
Debian + Docker, yes
ok then termux running linux debian on samsung s6
Have fun with that
thanks , but why home assistant needs so much ram?
Because it's a home automation platform, and a very powerful one, plus you need an OS, plus you want to run the ESPHome dashboard, and probably other stuff for that data
512 MB of RAM ain't much these days
512 MB RAM wasn't much 20 years ago
Eh... 1 MB was a big deal once
No need to shame the 70s
Hi! I run home assistant in a docker image "ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable" , but I need to install supervisored... how I do this? thanks
Why do you "need" to install Supervised?
ok, so install a container for that
Or even just the mosquitto package
ah, running a SSD on a pi with 2A might explain the random crashes
now a 4Amp adapter
Okay?
<I always have envisioned Tediore as Princess Leia>
Or again, you can just use the mosquitto package. It doesn't need to be a container specifically
Seriously, Google is your friend
I'm referring to the mosquitto deb package on Debian/Ubuntu, yes
thanks
hello, all. My NAS has died, trying to setup HA again, on my M1Mac. Getting the scrren localhost:8123/lovelace - home assistant not found, retry in 60 seconds.
heyya Tediore!
I installed Ventura on my Mac tonight and my Home Assistant VM no longer boots. I observed some changes to the VM install instructions for Home Assistant. It's now recommending a Linux VM rather than Mac VM, and a wi-fi connection is no longer supported? Apologies if I'm late to the game but anyone have any info on this and recommendations (besides installing a previous version of Mac OS?). I'm on an Intel Mac if that makes any difference. Not hugely savvy here, so please be gentle. Any forums or links I should check out? Currently trying to troubleshoot online. Google is holding out on me. Search terms also welcome.
how was your HA vm running? It shouldn't even notice a host OS upgrade if it's in type-2 hypervisor (vmware, virtualbox etc)
@pine carbon probably use http://homeassistant.local:8123/ not localhost
@copper steppe In VirtualBox as a Mac OS VM
@pine carbon if your network is bridged to LAN

hi all. just setup a homeassistant docker container on a pibox that I reflashed with raspberry pi os. I'm getting disk I/O error's in recorder and the other stock integrations. I think i've narrowed it down to being a linux permission error, but my searching has lead me in circles
I'm getting the following error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/recorder/util.py", line 268, in validate_sqlite_database run_checks_on_open_db(dbpath, conn.cursor()) File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/recorder/util.py", line 279, in run_checks_on_open_db sanity_check_passed = basic_sanity_check(cursor) File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/recorder/util.py", line 257, in basic_sanity_check cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM {table} LIMIT 1;") # nosec # not injection sqlite3.OperationalError: disk I/O error
did you restore a previous HA install? (using built-in restore, or copying files?)
What is the file owner, and permissions bits, for the home-assistant-v2.db file?
How is the /config storage mounted into the docker container?
Fresh install
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 18 20:49 home-assistant_v2.db
volumes: - /mnt/storage/appdata/homeassistant:/config:rw
I don't run this config, but what do the permissions look like inside the container?
I would need to run something docker exec to figure that out right?
That's a little outside my knowledge
docker exec -it containerid -- /bin/bash or something like that I think. Maybe without the --
Nah on the db file that it's trying to write to
got it
@copper steppe I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 18 20:49 /config/home-assistant_v2.db
🤷
Yeah me too. Thanks though
Oh nvm! I installed home assistant core on a virtual mac machine in virtualbox. I figured it out!
a virtual mac in virtualbox on some other os??
Just installed Home assistant as a docker container via portainer on my NUC which runs ubuntu host under proxmox. I run several other containers, and everything seems healthy. When home assistant front end came up, it fails to discover anything, but then it occurs to me that portainer probably has it sandboxed. I had another look at the container install instructions and I missed this stanza "--network=host" I am assuming that this gives the container general network access, rather than just the port I mapped through on 8123 for the front end. So going to keep digging, but can anyone confirm my suspicion and any experience out there on portainer / home assistant?
OK, so I see I can select host rather than bridge during creation, trying that, though for some reason it seems to be forcing me back through onboarding from scratch
Yep, seeing lots of things now...
Pressing the "more" button during onboarding device detection panel, seems to hang the browser though, screen dims, with no pop up or other.
@merry marsh I run haos in a vm on my proxmox, rather than a container, so it can do all the addon/docker stuff itself
appreciated, it seems to be working fine with network=host, I like the management that portainer gives me across all my services, so working it out. Now falling down the well of all the things I can integrate. Ecobee is registered, now getting my head round Homekit and my Meross garage opener. Got a LOT of stuff to integrate.
is there a way to reset all the configuration of a home assistant blue?
mine no longer joins the network since I haven't used it for 13 months and there is a new home assistant machine since then
but now it seems like there is no way to use the home assistant blue
tried using the console directly but I can find no way of doing a factory reset
do I actually need to take it apart? that's insane
What does it actually run? haos? Do you get the haos prompt?
why don't you just fix it's network connection?
"ha network update"

im having trouble nothing will update and backups have stopped being created for 5 days now if i go to try make one it says system is in startup and cant create one if i try to restore it cant nothing seems to be wrong everything on dashboard works its just the updating and backing up / restoring thats having problems
Hi Guys,
for some reason I can't update my HA(OS) install anymore. It shows me the Core 2022.11.3 update (running 11.2) and supervisor update. But klicking on Install just leaves to wheel spinning for many hours now. Restarting won't do as well.
I have this since 2-3 days now. I really don't know what I could do.
I have restarted (hard reset) my instance and try to run an update of supervisor first via ssh. But this seams to run until all eternity...
What supervisor version are you running? See: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/supervisor-november-beta-issue-impacting-users-on-home-assistant-beta-dev-channels/489895
Oh shoot, quite sure that is me. I am on Supervisor 2022.11.0
Thanks Tom. Hope I can find a way around a full reinstall. I do have the ssh plugin installed, but not yet made configuration to access via Port 22222
Hello everybody.
I am trying to install Home Assistant on a Rsp Pi 4 using the Operating System given by Home assitant.
It is stuck on the "Preparing Home Assistant" screen.
After looking at the log table by clicking the blue ball on the home screen I see a bunch of 500 errors.
Any suggestions how to fix it ?
Hello.
I have try to install homeassistant os on a rasbarry pi 3b +. But i get a error "** homeassistant CLI not responding**"
What to do? I have try to re-install the os but it don't work.
Please answer in a ping
quick feedback: I could fix the issue with the provided script without the need for a full re-install. Thanks for the hint @viscid sigil
Seems very common problem
Hi - Do most people run HA on a RaspPI or Docker?
I'd guess more docker than Pi. But HAOS can be run on more than a Pi.
I use haos. Think it's best for 80% of users. IMHO Only very-technical people, who have deep understanding of docker etc, should do anything else.
HAOS either bare-metal, or virtualised, either is OK
Thanks what is best device for bare-metal?
on rpi hardware? install haos
on bigger hardware? consider if you want to use box for other things too. if so, proxmox, if not bare metal.
All this is just imho, other people will disagree of course 🙂
Yeah thats cool, do I need to worry about SD card on rpi?
For me, they are unreliable, and will all fail sooner or later. If you are using off-box backups, and have a spare sd card, that's not too big a deal (reinstall, restore from backup).
If you want something that will fail less often, you might need a real disk.
Constantly writing to a DB is a bad pattern for a sd card.
Cheers, might look at proxmox
If you do, consider https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ for one-line installs of popular containers/apps including HA
cheers, thanks for the help
np, good luck.
Keep in mind add-ons are just pieces of software you can install standalone
I have a VirtualBox install that has started hanging on "A start job is running for Docker Application Container Engine (46min 23s / no limit)". I have tried reinstalling the virtual machine, restarting the VM, restarting the host, reinstalling vBox, and restoring from a known-good VM backup. It always hangs. I am thinking it has something to do with the host machine. Reinstalling the host machine is my next guess, unless someone knows what might cause this?
You can work around this by running Log2Ram on your Pi to help with general reduction of writes to your MicroSD, and having your database on something that isn't your main SD, like an external disk or remote system.
Ideally though, for an all in one, i would recommend configuring your RPi for USB boot, getting a m.2 sata drive and mounting it in an ArgonOne case.
Nice and neat, not as much worry about writes messing your storage medium of choice.
I experienced the same thing and give up for os installation after more than 5 hours.
Then i try using docker on rpi4 with raspberry pi os 64 bit and it even doesnt take up to 20 minutes. The problem is there is no supervisor integration in container
Docker is incredibly easy to use though, write a document, enter a command, and up it goes lok
*lol
My dayjob is lots of docker and stuff like that. I don't want to do it (much) in my hobbies.
One might say that will make it incredibly easier for you
Sure. But makes me lazy too. haos ftw 🙂
Because that did nothing. Same with restart. I had to reflash it.
How can I install HAOS on a SSD ?
Can I write the .img file to the SSD like a SD card, and it will expand to the size of the drive ?
Or is there an ISO for it ?
Does anyone know how to get VirtualBox to show properly? It's cutting off the bottom part so I can't create the VM - It won't let mre resize it
No, just normal on my laptop
Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.
Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.
As im trying to create the VM the options where it says "create" is cut off - so I can change all the settings ect... but can't press create to finish the setup
What OS? What display size?
That looks 100% like an OS side issue
Coupled maybe with a display resolution that's too small for VBox
let me check
yep... sorry I was being an idiot as no other app seemd to be effected, it was 150% for some reason
System is currently because setup failed to complete. There are a number of reasons this can occur, use the link to learn more and how to fix this.

Running HA OS, got this error yesterday the first time. Tried rebooting the system via Hardware, but it keeps returning and says 6 months ago. What is wrong? Migrated from Supervised to OS with backup. Is that the problem?
I have installed HA supervised, debian host system. I followed a guide from the forum (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/installing-home-assistant-supervised-on-a-raspberry-pi-with-debian-11/247116) to get a supported install. If I was so install other docker containers would that make my installation no longer officially supported?
It also makes it likely to become Unsupported or Unhealthy and stop working
There's no good reason to follow that guide TBH - just use HAOS
I "had" to run it like this as I'm using an older host system that doesnt support UEFI and from what I learned I need a system with uefi to run HAOS
I linked the Pi version, thats my bad I followed the version for x86
I think my home assistant is stuck, it's been on the prepping screen (ip:8123) for a while now - is there anything I can or should do? Or just wait
I'm on an older sandy bridge dual core
I was not happy with my Pi setup as it was slow, unresponsive and had other various issues so I decided to move over to x86 and this is just what I had handy without purchasing additional hardware
Anyways thanks for your quick answer!
Then why am I getting an unhealthy error with HAOS? Is there something installed with the backup from supervised, which I need to manually delete?
Some old docker containers?
I ... wasn't responding to you @upbeat wharf
my HA crashed and not start anymore i need help
What's your install method for it? HAOS?
Also if HAOS were you running the beta versions
yes i think i was running beta version
first of all i was stuck to update to 2022.11.3
but now i tryed to recover from a backup
but tha system keep saying i was in start mode
then i tryed to rebuild core and now dont start anymore
also now When i Join at myha:8123 keep saying preparing home assistant
any idea of what can i try?
i have access to the virtual machine cli console
i have follow your link and tryed that
curl -o - https://version.home-assistant.io/update-supervisor.txt | sh
but i think cli dont have curl
Are you using the console, or SSH?
You may have to type login at the console
the console
To get to the normal console not the ha> one
thanks i got my supervisors back to 2022.10
restarting now
but i think i have fucked with something more trying to rebuild my core
i got acess to my ha home page again
but i think something is yet not good, cause some add-ons is not starting with the system
You may need to reboot 
like ewelink integration and google backup, and node red, i already restarted
but im final abble to update
finaly
this was a bug at beta version that was?
my add-ons have uncheck the option to start with the system, now i think all will be good
You might want to think about shifting to container based install, the add-ons will not be available, but they are containers anyway, run them seperately. This way probably less issues and more control
In your earlier post, i believe you said you run a supervised based install
So you are on HA OS?
is this an appropriate place to ask for help when a zigbee device is not pairing/joining properly? I'm a noob, so it's my first try and my first sensor.
No 😉
its ha os i think
Read the channel topics to see what's on topic where
gotcha 🙂
i think some of my images have been lost at this process
Yes the issue was due to beta. If you want stable recommend not going beta and not jumping to update. Have a beta instance to test if you want
ok thanks @manic bane
realy thanks for all helps you guys gived to me, i will restart and check if now its all normaly
Hey, I'd like to store my whole configuration into a public github repository (besides sensible data of cause). I'm having trouble to find the addon configurations and something like a list of addons I'd like to be installed. Can someone give me a hint where this configs are? Cheers
Hello all! I can no longer access the my HA web portal. It gives me,"not found" when I go to the page I normally go to. I was having a problem where it appears that my HA couldn't get out of the STARTUP state. I couldn't reload a backup because the system wasn't out of the startup state. I think its related to being in the Beta channel. But I turned that off and continued to have a problem. Using the CLI I cant restart the supervisor, which I think is whats keeping me from getting to the web portal. Right now I just need to get my web portal back so I can download the backups and try to reinstall. I am running Proxmox, with both HA and Lubuntu. HASSOS 9.2, supervisor 2022.11.0
If you were on the beta channel for the Supervisor, did you follow the pinned message to correct this?
@humble mirage I just looked at the pinned message and did not see anything about this. Is it in the breaking changes section? I must be missing something. I spent 5+ hours yesterday trying to fix this and just made it worse.
There's only two pinned messages

One is an image, so ... the one you want is the other one
@humble mirage you meant the pinned message for THIS # I was looking at the pinned messages for #beta
@slender tartan Discord isn't like IRC, you don't have to tag people on every response. Keep in mind that every time you tag somebody, they get a notification ping. That can very quickly become annoying and people may block you.
When using Discord's new Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.
If I'd meant that channel... I'd have said that channel
sorry
First time I directed you to the pinned messages I actually said to look at the ones in the #installation-archived channel

Hi, I've been stuck on 'Preparing Home Assistant' for a few hours now. I tried googling and enabled ipv6 on my router but no luck. I started over from scratch but still stuck on that same issue for about another hour now.
Observer says
Supervisor: Connected
Supported: Supported
Healthy: Healthy.
Any ideas?
I'm also getting these results when trying to run supervisor logs: https://i.imgur.com/j0zvq1I.png
Click the blue circle in the UI and share the logs
It won’t let me copy paste but it says updater blocked from execution, no supervisor internet connection over and over
How are you running it? In a VM, on a Pi, something else?
When I try to flash ha on my micro sd it says flash failed
wwhat do I format it to fat?
You don't
I had stuff on it and I formated it to fat
Doesn't matter, when you flash it you erase it
does not matter
What tool are you using to flash it with?
you copy it incl. the filesystem
Also, old cards are more likely to die on you sooner
there is an official raspberry Flashtool with a GUI
or Balena Etcher both work fine
or if you know how to use a linux, just use dd
can you seend it
it’s opensource and depending on your image you can even preset wifi credentials, login credentials and enable ssh
which is nice though not needed for HA
hi everyone, today i find one problem with my Home Assistant installation on raspberry. every 1 hour i lost the wireless device (in the terminal with nmcli device command i see wlan0 disconnected, and i need to reconnect). i have created a cronjob every 1 min that ping my gateway and if it's not working it run a script that reconnect the wlan0 device. it worked for 1 day after the /etc/periodic was cleaned with default configuration and same the crontab -l. Any idea how to fix this problem? or how to create a cronjob without lose the configuration every tot time? thanks in advance 🙂
maybe just dont use wifi in the first place?
i have eth for 1 network and wifi for the other one.. i can't
anyway there is no reason because the wifi it's disconnecting after few hours...
its known to be unreliable on raspberry pis
Hello everyone. I am needing some installation assistance. I have HA 11.3 running on a raspberry pi 4. I am working on migrating it to Debian 11.5 bullseye. I have installed debian and HA supervisor on the computer. When I go to upload the snapshot, I get a 400 error immediately. I have saved the snapshot to my device that the HA is also running on. I cannot find any specific topics regarding this and cannot find anything to answer this question. This a fresh install of HA so nothing is loaded on it. I need it to match the other one that is running at another location. I am wanting to set this one up at my house and test it so that way when I take it to the other location, it will just plug in and resume it's job. Any ideas?
Why not just use Home Assistant OS?
I could do that. Is there a link for that? This computer in question will set up and running home assistant its entire life and do nothing else.
Thank you very much Tinkerer!
I cant connect the Hass today, restarted the server and one of the internet logs failed! URLSessionTask failed with error: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made.
Error Code:
Alamofire.AFError 13
Sometimes i can get it to load to the login screen but glitches back after I have entered my details, and goes back to add a server then it comes up with the error above. this is on the ios app but the link does not load anywhere else
I cant connect the Hass today restarted
Since past many days my updates are not getting installed. I have tried to reboot / repair core but it gets exited with error. my addons like esphome now wont start.
3 updates
Home Assistant Core
Home Assistant Core 2022.11.3
Home Assistant Operating System

I am new to HA (after 10y domoticz) and try to install integration DSMR slimme meter as first bonding
i think it fits here or must i ask in energy?
I try to install HA 32bit image on a Pi3B V1.2, i follow the step on HA-site
The "DSMR Slimme meter" fails with an unkown error
The USB -FT232R -P1 cable is recognize or discovered as Bluetooth device by Home assistant on a hardware usb port
If i try manual, only path that looks to work is /dev/ttyAMA0 gives failed to communicate.
1st how do i check the correct path naming for manual and prevent HA to see device as Bluetooth?
Edit: energymeter is a Sagemcom T211 (Dutch)
You probably wanted the #integrations-archived channel, since this isn't about installing HA itself
Hi Tinkerer, do you know if there is a way to automatically install addons via config? I mean in a declarative way, so that you don't have to use the UI or the CLI (ha addons install $foo).
No idea, I don't use them
If you can use the ha command though, I'd guess you could write an automation that handles that 
is there any REASONABLE way to reset a Home Assistant Blue??> ie without taking it apart? Just from the GUI or console?
by reset I mean settings.. back to factory default
thanks. the curl command worked. how do i disable beta update. i don't remember signing for it.
@dusty spire try Settings --> System --> Updates --> 3 dots top right
I'm not sure if it will let you unjoin the beta channel, but that's how you join it (I'm not running beta)
If that's not it, you can enter this command via SSH: ha supervisor options --channel=stable
thanks. i left the beta channel
No worries 🙂
I have a really weird issue

That'd be a Docker image,s6-supervise is used in many Docker containers
why is it running... without running?
it doesn't
Hello Guys i put the io on the sd and after that in the pi and i want to go in the browser the ip adress with port 8123 and the other options and i dont come on the site where i can see the interface
I cannot install HassOS at all. On VirtualBox, Hyper-V, WSL. I cannot get past the Preparing Home Assistant page.
https://justpaste.it/c7oit - Here are my logs.
where i need to copy that ?
Copy what?
this one
that is an issue i am having tom, sorry man. it is not relevant to your issue and you do not need any action :)
Did you flash the Home Assistant OS image? Do you have a keyboard and monitor you can connect?
hi 🙂 ive had home assistant a while and decided to restart everything freshwith haos, ive installed it by writing it (dd) to disk, it boots, i do initial setup...internet works, i start loading integrations and addons...then net drops, i cant ping 8.8.8.8 or the gateway(10.0.5.1) but i can ping the host (10.0.5.11) i do have the wireguard client installed, but it cant ping the endpoint(anywhere on internet) ....any way to check the route? same thing happened last night so i reinstalled from scratch....now its the same again 😦
Sorry it’s all clear now I have used the wrong voltage adapter
Can't Install HassOS via Images on VM, Hyper-V or WSL
guys, anyone got issues with device and services? after update it does not load it at all, but all integration seems working. what type of logs i need to chaise?
Try clearing your browser cache
shame on me, I should be able to think this myself, I fixed thanls
Hi everyone. I’m look for some support. I recently changed my networking equipment. I went from using a mesh network setup to a single much more powerful router. Since doing this my Home Assistant on a pi4 (hardwired) is losing internet connection every few days. To resolve the issue I disconnected the pi from my switch and reconnect it and issue is resolved. I’ve changed the switch and the Ethernet cable and issue is still persistent. Fully updated HASSio. Not sure if this is an issue with my pi or the new router disabling bandwidth to the pi itself. Any insist would be great. Also, what makes me believe it is the pi or HASSio is because no other equipment on my network behaves like this.
@fading aurora have you tried setting static ip and dns within HA?
Is it physically losing connection, or having a dhcp problem? Is the machine maybe statically configured, and address is in the dhcp pool, so getting collisions?
I already had it set to reserve its IP address, but the issue persists. Is there something more I should look into? Since changing my router it now does have a different IP, but I reserved it the moment it was assigned
Is that the IP address which shows on the network page in HA?
Is the IP address within the range used by the LAN DHCP server? (it should not be)
Routers will only allow static DHCP IP assignment in the DHCP range
Which is what they've said they did
depends on your router, mine uses a separate range for static (obviously within the LAN CIDR)
depends on the router
Okay so a lot of the time with consumer routers then
I've yet to see a consumer router allow it
Have not used consumer hardware for years 😅 Vyos, EdgeOs or OPNsense ftw!
That's you, most people will be using consumer hardware
i have a draytek that is basically comsumer hardware they allow it too
My neargear Orbi, when I used it for dhcp, only demanded that you put it in the LAN CIDR, not within the DHCP range (I don't think it checked that). Anyway, was just an idea why it might hahppen.
and i think the avm fritz stuff too, might only be popular in germany though
pfsense says
If an IPv4 address is entered, the address must be outside of the pool.
If no IPv4 address is given, one will be dynamically allocated from the pool.
So I guess that kindof does it both ways 🙂
yep thats kind a different
Draytek advertises itself as SMB hardware not consumer lol
in EdgeOS it just has to be in the same subnet
you can even just say „make this dhcp lease static“ in edge os
which is kind of nice
it's definitely about patterns, and your dhcpd implementation, more than a strict technical requirement. Which are, as they say, pretty variable...
i have a whole subnet for stuff I add to my DNS anyways so i just plug it in, look at the leases tab to get the IP that was leased to it and then i click „make static“
add the IP to the DNS, give it a name and done
yep
Yes, and it was set to DHCP. I just changed it to Static before typing this. Could this be the issue even though I already reserved the IP address in my router settings prior to this?
Leave devices as DHCP and assign static IP in your router
That's what I assumed I should do, and that is exactly how I had it setup. I'm not really sure now
@fading aurora this was more about dns than ip address. Especially if it is dropping internet and not local network connection
yeah, could be, what's your resolver?
Guys im trying to reinstall home assistant but it starts observer and network manager but I don't get anything on the webpage, supervisor isn't starting and I can't reach internet on it because of network manager but I can ssh into it
What install method?
Home assistant website
And now because I set it back to drfault on debian server it can't reach what its pinging on install
You should only use Supervised if you're already an expert with Linux, Docker, and networking, and even then only if you don't have enough frustration in your life
Well its my only option
Why?
Core sucks cuz it has no addons, i cant install os im using a pc box with 2nd gen cpu
Is your hardware too old to run HAOS?
Well, then you need to learn a lot of Linux and Docker
I have ran it, it was fine but alexa and smart things wasn't working
Not necessarily I had it running like thos before proxmox
Those are integrations, not add-ons, they work the same in all methods
Make sure you've actually complied with https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/adr/0014-home-assistant-supervised.md#supported-operating-system-system-dependencies-and-versions
I need unifi too
Well, if you're running that as not an add-on then you're breaking the requirements
Or, run Container, and run it in another container, and be happy
I'm using debian 11.2
And the rest of it?
Which instructions? The ADR, or something else?
You know add ons are just docker containers you can spin up alongside the container install right?
Home assistant makes it easier to spin them up like wireguard
i can now use my home assistant app on my smartphone, but... only when i have my laptop on, when i shutdown my laptop i cant use home assistant app anymore, is there another way?
By any chance is Home Assistant running on that laptop?
yes
The app connects to your Home Assistant server, if you stop it from running there's nothing for the app to connect to
Well, the app itself isn't Home Assistant
It's like having Plex/Emby/whatever server running and wondering why you can't use your Plex/Emby/whatever client play movies from it when you turn the server off
If you want HA to run when your laptop is off the answer is to run HA somewhere else
