that is just the easiest way to get client devices to use a better DNS server
@grand pivot that worked!
I don't understand why the default DNS servers for some ISPs can't resolve some addresses..
I just deleted the ssh plugin by mistake. I can't connect to the device. What do you suggest I do at this stage?
@crimson willow "plugin" isn't really an HA user term. You uninstalled the ssh add-on?
I'm migrating from the supervised VM to my own docker setup. Is there something special to clear out the hassio bits?

Ish. It seems like everybody assumes that everyone runs HA in a 'supervised' manner and so it's rarely documented what an installation looks like outside of the 'add-on' mechanism. So it doesn't seem like a real choice.
So for example, let's say I want to install ESPhome as not-an-add-on. Great, it's documented: https://esphome.io/guides/getting_started_command_line.html But how does one go from the standalone installation to having the frontend visible in HA?
panel_iframe likely?
I looked into it for the file editor plugin. The daemon supports basic auth which can be passed in the iframe. Then you limit the iframe access
Right, so I guess that's what I'm saying - you don't just have to know how to install the software, you have to really understand how it's all bound together afterwards. And (at least for me) that's the real barrier.
Does the docker route you're taking avoid that and work like a 'supervised' setup?
Well yeah. The addons are only supported in supervised. Anything outside is kinda on your own.
As close as it's gonna get without too much effort. Might not work with all addons.
I tried going this route: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Home_Assistant_Supervised and aborted as soon as I saw all the things that network manager and apparmor break.
And I've been running HAOS in a VM mostly successfully, but it's not working in mysterious and impossible to debug ways so I'm looking for alternatives.
(also that approach makes it annoyingly difficult to get hardware accelerated video decode)
How’s the latest core update? Anyone with a bunch of HomeKit stuff perform the update and it not completely break everything in HomeKit? I update upon initial release, but had to restore a backup. Been holding off since. Also, yes I read the release notes
Looks like running the docker image isn't considered supervised.
It is not
Looks like this is the only path: https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/adr/0014-home-assistant-supervised.md
It's not
It's kind of unfortunate that you get to choose between addons and running on a variety of platforms.
@latent terrace esphome's frontend as an add-on and its frontend as a container are the same thing.
The addon just makes it "easy"
like all other servers with a frontend, they are independent. For example. Plex, sonarr, radarr, etc
Whether there's a link within HA to get you there or not shouldn't be a huge obstacle
At that point you're really not using them with HA though, and you're looking at setting up multiple subdomains and ssl certs or doing some sort of complicated proxying?
"with" HA is determined by integrations
Add-ons provide the software
Not the integration with HA
Well so for example, esphome and frigate have nice left-menu entries and load within HA when you click them. If you don't use the add-on, what's the process to replicate that if have standalone installations?
Not really. Another container w/ nginx rev proxy. Worth throwing nginx infront of HA anyway.
@latent terrace create a link
So in my case would a setup look something like this?
- container runs HA
- host machine or another container runs non-HA software
- host machine or another container runs proxy (unclear to me just yet how that gets set up)
- router runs another proxy to SSLify the whole thing (in my case I'm using let's encrypt + haproxy on opnsense)
unclear how that can work with automatically getting and renewing certs though?
opnsense + haproxy + let's encrypt automates that whole process and I'm loathe to do anything different
if you're only on one IP then you config whatever is presented for ACME to route traffic based on dns name. ha.blah.com goes to the nginx container
so that's haproxy right now
internally you point dns to the nginx container. eternally points to your wan ip.
haha, right now it's all external
so e.g., if I access homeassistant.mydomain.tld it gets routed to WAN and bounces off my ISP and comes back
Kinda silly lol
yeah it is, but it's very simple and doesn't require me to override any DNS or have any special cases
and I'm never going to miss the bandwidth or the latency, so whatever
internal dns is pretty common tactic.
doing that round trip costs me about 1 ms which I'm never going to miss vs having to debug a DNS configuration even once
🤷♂️
So does the supervised install internally do some proxying so that externally I don't have to know that there's multiple containers serving from multiple ports?
Yeah, I uninstalled the ssh plugin. Now the device won't boot. What do you suggest?
The ssh addon?
That is optional in the first place
You might have done something else to break your install
I also think it's pointless that the device doesn't turn on. I have a rasbery pi 3b model. I was using the standard file manager. I used it this way for a long time, but when the file manager was insufficient and vscode (I don't remember the name, it must be visual studio code) installed it, the device did not remove it. I removed the file manager and ssh plugins, thinking that the ram was not enough. Then the device turned off and now I can't reach it, it won't turn on.
What can I do to recover the device? I reapplied the config configuration with usb in the first installation, but the situation is still the same. In this case, can I access my device in safe mode or with different techniques? I made a backup yesterday, but I would be very happy if I can still access the old state.
@crimson willow vscode is going to use a lot of ram on a pi3b and that's probably what you should remove instead. The ssh addon uses hardly anything. When you say it won't turn on do you mean power?
Or do you only mean that HA isn't reachable?
Yeah, maybe I can't get through. http://homeassistant.local:8123/ is not responding. When the device would switch on, the processor light would come on for a long time and after a minute or two I could enter the address. Now even the processor light flashes for 10-15 seconds.
No, I'm not talking about power. How can I explain this to you? I can not access the address. http://homeassistant.local:8123/ I did the config configuration in the first installation with usb disc, it did not work in that example. The device is switched on but homeassistan can't seem to load.
You can connect directly with keyboard and monitor to investigate or you can reflash and restore backup
How can I do that? Is there a directive?
I have connected the device to the screen.the home assistant command line page comes up.it tells me to log in at homeassistant.local:8123,but I can't get to the page. I would like to upload a photo,but the system won't let me.
@crimson willow looking at the screen, looks like it doesn't have an IP address..
So how can I fix this problem?
Make sure the network cable is plugged in would be the first step
Then make sure the other end of the network cable is plugged into an active port
Then reboot the pi
Could uninstalling the ssh plugin cause something like this? Of course, since I doubt this process, I did a "config" configuration with the usb disk made in the installation process. maybe that process may have caused such a problem...How can I fix this in this process? I would be happy if you help me.
Then that screen should show you an IP address which you can access directly on port 8123
I would also like to point out...Rasperry was connected to the modem via ethernet, when this problem occurred, I removed the ethernet socket and connected it to the tv. Could this be the reason why it does not get an ip address?
Uninstalling the SSH add-on wouldn't cause the network to fail
As I said, I applied the wlan settings via usb disk...but when I get back home, I will try to connect it to the modem with ethernet cable again...but I was getting this error while there was ethernet connection...then I disconnected the cable and connected it to the tv
Yes you will need to plug in the network cable to your modem for the network to function then once that's sorted out, connect to your WLAN, then reboot the whole system to make sure it stays on the WLAN
I uninstalled the file manager and the ssh plugin. I didn't do anything else. I don't think this should be a problem. I wouldn't have touched it if I knew it would be this much trouble.
Uninstalling add-ons doesn't break anything
So the only problem in the current circumstances is that it doesn't take ip? Is it possible to do this manually? Is it a wrong step for me to show the network information to the device again with the config file? I am open to all suggestions.
Very interesting, I think removing plugins should not crash the system .but right now the system does not open .the last time I made a backup yesterday, but to restore the backup again, do I need to do a clean installation from scratch ?
No you don't, all you need to do is get your network connection working. Then login, go to settings, system, then backups, top right corner you should be able to upload/restore a backup
By making my network connection work, you mean connecting the cable to the modem, correct? Is there anything extra I can do other than that? Right now the system is not getting an IP address and we can't do anything, correct? Is there any step that can be done?
Yeah, just connect the cable to the modem and reboot the pi
Hey, how do I install home assistant on a rock 4 se?
Help.. 'm running HA on a RAS PI4 with SSD. The other day no updates would apply. Now i'm unable to access HA. How can I recover?
hey guys, im running ha on a VM on windows. I want to increase the available storage, 32gb right now. Can i simply stop the machine and edit the vdi size?
i dont even know how is it using so much storage? any way i check?
32GB is the suggested minimum, but you should look at your logs, backups, and database
and yes, I believe you can just increase it and HA OS will notice that it's been increased and grow the filesystem
ok ill try that in a few moments
It happened as you said:) I plugged in the Ethernet cable, energised the device and it switched on as if nothing had happened :)))) It gave me a day's stress. 🙂
Should try to always have servers connected over ethernet…
Yes, but I couldn't access home assistant when the ethernet was connected. I disconnected the ethernet, uploaded a config file with a usb disc, etc. It couldn't get an ip address again. I just reconnected it to ethernet and it booted up like nothing happened. I am using it now... Home assistant is a very nice platform, very functional. I like this aspect very much. You can do everything you want, but this yaml issue and a little sensitive structure scares me. But despite this, we have been together for about 1.5 years. I love Home Assistant ...
What was on the config file that you tried to upload?
Should I run ha on a PI 3
But honestly if you want to use your pi over wifi just don’t, run it off ethernet, so much less hassle
How much ram does it have? It will be bloody slow though
Any normal computer from the last 10 years will be faster than a Pi3
"no"
Is there another way to install this on an AMD processor? x86 ?
Ubuntu Server 22.04 is enough if I install Docker as an add-on?
if I install Docker as an add-on
that doesn't make sense
in any case, all the ways to install HA are documented there
you can also install Docker when setting up Ubuntu Server 22.04 would that be enough?
Ok
I can simply install the things via Docker?
X86/64
HA with MySensors integration (MQTT). I am trying to completely redo the integration. The current integration works, but I am unable to have nodes as part of the gateway. I hoping that starting over from scratch might work. 1st I stop the MySgw. then I delete the integration. This does not delete the persistent data; using Studio Code Server, I delete MySensors data. Next I delete the MySensors topics from the MQTT broker. Finally, I reboot Home Assistant. (In terminal execute reboot) when the reboot is complete, I re-integrate MySensors, ensuring that the version, "in" topics and "out" topics are identical to the MySgw. Then I restart the gateway. The data is getting the MQTT broker, but not to HA. Of course I backed up before doing this and when I do the full restore, all is working as it was before. I expect I should be able to start from scratch. What am I doing wrong?
So i've got my hardware finally. I just need to decide: Unraid and dockerize everything, or proxmox and VM it all.
Planning on HA as well as several other self-hosted services like jellyfin, kitchenowl, etc
Any ideas on what would cause Updater to just spin forever?
Did you try to restart the server?
jes, but in english
I have an Ubuntu Server 22.04 can you send me the comados?
I gave you the link earlier
problem solved
But it didn't work
why?
Wrong comados
aw man
Hello,
New to HA
I have bought a HP Thin Client T530, it is running windows on it.
I was wondering what would be the best way to get HA onto it and if there is any install guides. As, im aware it must boot into HA and run as a HA 'computer'?
Thanks guys 🙂
So I came to the interface, set up cloud access and like all the time, the port on the PC is closed automatically, I only understand the station
@sand nymph there are options besides being just a "ha computer", but if you don't need it for anything else, that's the best option.
@sand nymph see https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/
TLDR write HAOS installer to a usb key, then boot off it, and install HAOS to your hard-disk.
I found how to back up and download the backup from HA.. is this enough if I want to migrate to a new HA install on a new device?
Yes, if it's a full backup (and your new install supports addons etc).
new install is going to be "core" on pop os
yeah I did a full back up. i don't have much to save either.. a bunch of cards and a bunch of shellies
you'll have to manage addons yourself. But the integration config and history should be migrated.
I'm probably doing something very stupid, so forgive me in advance 🙂 I have been running hassio in a rpi3 for a few years (and a few sd cards) and time came that I am now moving it to a virtual machine running in a qnap x86 nas box. I decided to go the "easy" way and just import the ova available in the official releases page and boot it up. All goes well until I try accesing the main page, by which time I am taken to the login page instead of the onboarding one. I tried going straight to the onboarding.html page but it still redirects me to the login page, for which I don't have the details.
I have already tried removing the .storage folder and rebooting, but when it reboots, it just creates the folder again and I am still redirected to the login page instead of onboarding
does anyone see the error in my ways?
@zealous schooner is the RPi still up? Are you sure you aren't connecting to that?
well if you want to do just plain HA containerized Ubuntu and Docker is fine, otherwise if you want supervised you need Debian
@zealous schooner are you sure you're hitting the new instance, and not the old one? Which image did you use?
I have a very similar setup. Which image/process did you use?
THough I used the kvm-based image, not the ova.
hello guys. I really need some help. I installed homeassistant in docker, followed the official installation in ubuntu. However when using network mode host, I cannot connect to the service at all. It only works when I pin it to port 8123
however with that doscovery function no longer works
This is my "recipie".... https://www.mos-eisley.dk/display/it/Home+Assistant+on+Docker. I belive discovery works...
@tacit tide thank you for your respond but when I run yout first line it saids confilct container name already in use
sudo docker stop "home-assistant" and sudo docker rm "home-assistant"
That will remove Your existing container and You can start a new one
just tried
still not working
it just keep saying unable to connect when I try to access it
@orchid pebble good morning
#installation-archived Hey, I have some troubles with installation via script/setup
Package installations stops at
pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-commit
ERROR: File "setup.py" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: /srv/git/core
(A "pyproject.toml" file was found, but editable mode currently requires a setup.py based build.)
what script?
Is there a difference software wise between OS for x86 and OS qcow2 ?
No. The end result is the same, but they are for different situations
Knew it. So for long term "advanced" people, its better to manually install x86 inside KVM, right?
If you use the qcow2 image to create a VM, it will show as an x86-64.
I don't know why using the x86 generic image would be better. It sounds like more pain (if using qemu) and no gain?
But you can do whatever you like of course
I was wondering about the difference between those images a few days ago myself... Would the OVA image contain some sort of guest audition for running in VM, that might be missing from the generic image?
I dont why would a qcow2 image be better if all VFIO drivers are in the kernel?
Unless the kernel is stripped of them
i'm installing with kvm virt-manager. not sure what "Select your bridge under Network Selection" means.. it's asking for a bridge device name.. what would it be?
you'd need to create your own br0 with your ethernet card attached to it in e.g. debian and use that in kvm
i'll try to find a guide for this.. is it required?
@timber willow you want the VM to have its own IP address on your network like everything else
https://www.tecmint.com/create-network-bridge-in-ubuntu/ there's a few methods there
thank you very much
can someone help me please, this is driving me crazy
whats in the logs when you use host network?
Yes. Multiple times.
@wide sedgeConnection issue? Restarting HA would not reboot the system or restart networking services
For that you would use Settings > System > Hardware > 3 dots in the upper right corner
copy from where to where?
Is there an easy migration from haos to a container install? I’ve now got a NUC running docker and I’d like to put HA in it and retire the pi.
Is it just a case of moving /config over?
I did do this with an old computer converting to a docker installation on a Synology NAS. Created a backup from within the old installation and imported that into the new installation
That was a while ago though, but you could always try this and keep the haos install should it not go to plan
I thought the container version didn’t have backup/restore (unsupervised)
sorry my bad, did try the container version but in the end reverted to a virtual machine
lmao i somehow broke my pop os install trying to follow this guide
@timber willow there's 4 guides really. Which method did you use?
I tried all of them at some point. I forget which felt easiest
I've not missed any episodes right? Restoring a backup still doesn't restore network settings
the first. after creating the config.yaml file it gave me an error related to indentation.. i tried fixing it and now I can't boot on my install.. I'm not blaming you and I'm just learning but.. it's surprising
@high token correct
Thanks. Never mind person did something else stupid 😅
hi all. I'm trying to start my new HA installation based on a raspi4 + SSD SATA 2.5.
the system is taking at this point of time 30' to start , in fact it is still on the "Preparing Home Assistant" screen,
is it a normal behaviour?
The initial “preparing home assistant “ does take a while
Make sure to refresh (or open it in a new tab) as the page doesn't update automatically
thank you both
click on the blue dot
22-06-02 19:09:43 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.jobs] 'Updater.fetch_data' blocked from execution, no supervisor internet connection
the raspberry has a LAN cable connected...
I’ll give it a try when I’m home. Unplugged and plugged back in multiple times trying to fix.
@wide sedge well that would do the same, but with more risk
Yep. No dice.
@wide sedge supervisor logs when this is happening?
You need advanced mode enabled to choose that from the drop-down in the log page
hola amigos
question for ya.
I'm trying to install the OS Agent on the amd64 platform in debian 11
only option I see on github is os-agent_1.4.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz
what am I supposed to do with that.
sorry, newby.
just a little bit
I'm going to be blunt here and I swear I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if you're asking what to do with a tarball, you shouldn't run HA Supervised (the requirements for that say you should be an expert in Linux, Docker, and networking)
Any reason you're running HA Supervised instead of HA OS or HA Container?
bare with me as I'm trying to get back into HA game.
I have a terminal in which I'm running a 3d printer farm running octoprint
amd64
I have a few Rasp Pis, but wanted to know if it was possible to install HA and octoprint on the same box.
I'm following these instructions
got docker running
up to the point where I have to load the agent
Definitely, but HA Container would be the way to go instead of HA Supervised because installing anything outside the HA ecosystem (apart from the system requirements) will make HA Supervised unsupported
Or run HA OS and see if there's an octoprint add-on
probably to monitor
Hi guys,
Can I switch from using the docker command to using the docker compose approach so long as I'm pointing to the same config path?
I'm looking at the commands here: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi/#docker-compose
Yep. You'll just need to stop and remove the home assistant container first
is there an HA image for amd64?
sorry, but trying to cleanup the mess I made while posting here.
Yes, that is arguably one of the most common CPU architectures
Everything ok Tediore?
Wdym?
How can i check if the nmap integration is working?
I dont get any results in the entity overview
oh wrong channel
Hi anyone can advise why is my HA is running at 100% cpu and memory
Im running on proxmox
There is some error saying failed to enable software mII access , failed to write medium mode mode to 0×0000
I have homeassistant installed on one computer and I want to move to a different machine. I installed hass os on the new machine can I now just backup from the old machine and restore it on the new one? will I lose anything doing that?
@teal axle I think it should be fine
@stray shard are you doing anything strange, like device-passthrough ?
I don't have this issues on proxmox+haos. My CPU is about 2% It's normal for the memory to be high - the VM uses any spare for buffer/cache
I just installed on a rasberry pi. Is there a way to setup wifi details using the cli, or do I need to plug it in via ethernet?
all I have is the ha > prompt, and no way to explorer the cli options because |more and |less won't work 🙂
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
I only have the ha> prompt.. there's no nano command
that was the question, I'll plug it in then 🙂
Which os should the pi be running if you are looking to run docker / HA container?
You mean just docker install with no add ons?
In that case whatever you like. I prefer debian
debian as in raspian? or straight debian
I do straight debian. But unsure what's supported on a Pi.
Just to confirm though, you do mean just container install with no supervisor right @obsidian badger
Sorry by bad yeah no supervisor just container on rasberry pi
IHey guys, is there a way to install HA without an internet connection? Github is banned here 😢
currently installing using an vm image*
same
installing on ubuntu?
you can download the haos image on another computer and transfer it
or maybe there is a mirror
Who the fuck bans github
In theory you don't need GitHub since it's coming from a Docker hub and PyPi
Custom components/cards/etc will be "fun"
I'm using qemu and virt-manager and I see qemu has already setup a bridge for me.. I'm using it.
Locally it works with the bridge ip.. so I assume this step works. I can also access the gui using homeassistant.local:8123..
but I can't access it on any other device on this network. what can I try to fix this?
download needed images on a linux machine with docker and proper internet, export them with docker save and import them on the censored machine with docker load
Removing a bunch of stale integrations that are clogging up my logs, rebooting, and trying again. Will keep ya posted.
i'm really stuck with this.. everything is fine locally.. nothing on the rest of the network
"locally" typically means the rest of the local network
i meant on the machine
do you mean you can connect from the same machine it is running on
yeah
that's not the network settings you want
that's not the right bridge
You want it to get an ip address using dhcp from your router like everything else on your network
ah maybe I can edit this bridge
can I edit the vm to use another bridge name once I create a new one?
@timber willow <#add-ons-archived message>
I just went through this with someone else in add-ons
Yes, you can create a bridge and then select that in virt-manager
It looks like any docker and VM images needs to download additional stuff from Github for initialization. I might try to use a VPN on my home router to unblock github temporarily and disable it after initialization finishes.
Docker downloads docker images as needed, yes.
Hi everyone! I've just installed the Docker image and I can't get through onboarding. When I get to the home name/location/timezone screen, fill it and submit the data, the following error appears: Failed to save: undefined
Additionally, in home-assistant.log I get:
2022-12-07 19:50:23.240 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.ban] Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX).

This is my configuration.yaml: https://yaso.su/EOdbHw8T
I'm using Nginx as a reverse proxy.
Does it work if you bypass the proxy?
When I do a backup I get a message saying unknown error check supervisor logs. I don't see any errors in the supervisor logs. here is the relevant logs https://pastebin.com/1fdamY1Q on line 51 it looks like it completes.
When I refresh the page the backup is there. is it safe to rely on that backup?
thx i found the panel to edit pretty much everything.. i'm still fighting with the bridge.. now HA doesn't want to pick an ip it seems.. i'm trying to set a manual ip with the bridge
You created a new bridge?
yeah following the nmcli and editor methods
ok
with manual ip "ip ad" now shows br0 with this ip.. should work
gotta doublecheck that nothing else is using that ip
i'm so bad with networking lol.. at least i'm learning
still no luck. the VM says "ipv4 addresses for enp0s3: " nothing written there..
i know enp0s3 is an alias for my ethernet device.. but its name when i type "ip ad" is eno1
Yep. So I've onboarded without the proxy. However, now, when I try to add integrations through the proxy, I get Config flow could not be loaded: 401: Unauthorized errors.
how does your /etc/network/interfaces` look like?
that file has 3 lines in it.
and the interfaces.d folder is empty
i'm on pop os
lol
i expected a list of interfaces that's why i said that
let me install discord on that machine so I can copy paste easily
you will need more than 3 fish
don't we all...
Mmm fish
`# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* `
ooof, do you run network manager stuff? I don't touch these
idk.. no?
this install is fresh from today
yesterday's install destroyed my ssd lol
an old ssd to be fair.. its probably unrelated
pop os shouldn't be much different than ubuntu

you can either attach your eth0 to this bridge, or attach ha to it and see if you can ping devices on your lan

im going back to automatic dhcp
so your 0.3/24 was served by dhcp?
set as manual ip to test with

Ethernet connection 1 e3a61026-4642-4637-b4c0-ec2b208b384e ethernet eno1
this is what i get from nmcli conn show --active
Ah yes I tried this from a tutorial someone here sent
I never set up a bridge before
I was surprised the ha install guide didn't even call it a "network bridge" but just bridge
It's the least clear part of the guide.. Other than that it's fine
The guide mentions I should disable my Ethernet interface.. I don't understand why
if you set up a bridge and connect your ethernet interface to it, then you should assign your IP address to the bridge and only use it
your ethernet adapter should not have an address, or be configured for DHCP
Br0 in automatic shows an ip now.. But is pop os also using this ip?
Ah ok I see
So in this case bridge-br0 becomes my link to the Ethernet interface
And for pop os, if I want a different ip. I need another bridge
Not sure how to assign pop os to "br1"
you don't need more bridges
🌉 🌉 🌉 🌉 🌉 🌉 🌉
that is definitely too many
so everything goes through br0
yes
disactivating eth interface was the step i was missing
I just set mine to "manual":
iface eno1 inet manual
I'm struggling to get a new install of HA up and running. I'm trying to migrate from a rpi4 to a AMD based mini pc so I can run doker and a few other containers like frigate, proxy server for my thermostat, etc. But I want to reatain a supervised install of HA under docker. I've tried a couple of different guides both using Ubuntu 20.0.4, and have had zero luck getting up and running. I've followed the instructions to the letter and all the confirmations I've gotten from the system have matched the guides, but nothing. Am I out of luck trying to do this? The last guide I tried was done in Oct, 2022, so I would have assumed the instructions were still valid.
And I get supervised HA in docker isn't an officially supported install, but it's the setup I'd prefer to keep.
what makes it unsupported is running it on anything other than Debian 11 and/or installing anything outside the HA ecosystem except the system requirements @oblique echo
HA Supervised always uses docker
i know you said you want to keep that installation method, but you're really just setting yourself up for pain in the future if you go down this road
I'm running a supervised HA instance HASS OS in an LXC container on proxmox. It's been running great without issue for a couple of years now. You can find out how to do that here: https://github.com/whiskerz007/proxmox_hassio_lxc
,, and if you want to run other docker containers but not as HA addons.. In my case I run another proxmox vm as a docker host to run my docker containers that either aren't avalable as HA addons or for whatever reason make more sense to run on a docker host not supervised by HA
If you're using Proxmox why not just run HA OS?
Thats what Im doing
Honestly, I may have misunderstood what @oblique echo was trying to accomplish
As far as I can tell they want to run docker and a supervised HA install. The best solution I came up with to accomplish that was to run HA OS in an LXC container and run a vm as docker host
Step 1: Don't run Supervised.
Step 2: See step 1.
Step 3: VM, HAOS, or container?
Step 4: If you picked Supervised, GOTO 1
😉
You cannot run HAOS as an LXC
well I've been doing it for at least 2 years now..
then you're probably running Supervised. HAOS is an OS itself, which would only be able to run as a VM
nope Im running HAOS
prove it 😅
If you're interested to see how, go to the link I posted above
Go to Settings --> System --> Repairs --> 3 dots on the top right --> System Information
read the 2nd line
I'm familiar with wiskerz's script which also is outdated by 2-3 years (something to keep in mind)
yeah its a script that installs HA OS in as an LXC container
.. and 2-3 years ago is when I installed HA OS in the LXC container. It works perfectly and I keep HA OS up to date. If you were famaliar with the script you would realize that you can install HA OS in an LXC container
If you were familiar with Home Assistant, then you would realise that supervised very much not recommended 😉
I am not recommending HA Supervised
DId you go here? Does it say HAOS?
Hey everyone, i am trying to install homeassistant for the first time.
I went with the docker option on a raspberrypi 3 running dietpi.
I ran this command
root@DietPi:~# docker run -d --name homeassistant --privileged --restart=unless-stopped -e TZ=Israel -v /home/dietpi/homeassistant:/config --network=host ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
It looks like it worked but I am unable to open the webserver, im getting "This site can’t be reached".
running: docker ps -a returns:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
1273831cca88 ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable "/init" 3 minutes ago Up 41 seconds homeassistant
Edit: entered http://192.168.14.21:8123/ to my browser, the IP is correct
I've been using HA since the very beginning. I'm sorry I mispoke a few comments back and said HA Supervised but I corrected myself
Yes it says Version core-2022.11.4 Installation Type Home Assistant OS
I regret even coming to the HA discord server now. I just thought I'd try to help a fellow user out and instead get jumped on by people being snarky with me telling me that what I'm doing is not possible 😧
That was not my intention. I was just trying to understand and suggest a correct way. I'm not sure how that does say HAOS
But anyway I would suggest you also keep in mind these scripts that are up to date https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/
try docker logs homeassistant to see if there's anything gone wrong
thanks for the reply, i get a bunch of red lines, mainly 'Could not setup dependencies: http'
and some other network related packages. what should i do?
here is one of the full error lines:
2022-12-08 00:19:20.031 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Unable to set up dependencies of api. Setup failed for dependencies: http
do you use dietpi for any other reason already?
I'm not familiar with it but it could be something on it is conflicting network wise
nope, i just installed it today
if you're not using the Pi for anything else, perhaps would be simple/easier to go with HAOS instead
my goal is to run multiple things on the raspberry pi, not just homeassistant, thats why i did not go with that
thought docker would be a foolproof way but i guess not
I would at least try with RpiOS or Debian as the OS
yeah i guess so
now you have the steps fresh in your head too. Should be quick 😄
im tired of the wait times.. i have been trying since yesterday.
what other things did you want to install?
maybe they already exist as addons
or at least give RpiOS a try and if that also has issues then go from there
If you go to the link that you just gave me there's a script to install HA OS on an LXC container. Thanks for the link. Its good to know there's up to date scripts for installing HA OS in a LXC container. If I had to install HA OS again I would definitely use the updated script rather than using the old wiskerz script
There is HA OS VM, HA Container LCX and HA Core LXC. There's not HAOS LXC there
Oh I see, that's not HA OS. Whats the difference between HA Core LXC and HA OS?
So with that method you wouldn't have access to HA Addons and other features of HA OS?
Nope you'd only have HA itself. Same as HA Container
It's just not running as a container in docker
#add-ons-archived can be run as docker containers though
99% of addons were containers once 😛
I see. Well in that case if I had to install HA OS again. I'd still use the wiskerz script to install HA OS in an LXC container. LXC beats running a VM. Less resource intensive
Docker beats LXC by a long shot last I looked 🙂
depends on what your use case is.. they are both good depending on what your trying to do
i want to see this mysterious "haos in lxc" thing
when I get home from work I'll post screen shots if thats what I need to do to prove thats what Im doing
he's using wiskerz's script
but as far as I always knew it was hassio so Supervised
yet HA is saying it's HAOS
docker in LXC? 😛
I've installed ha os in an LXC container before without wiskerz script. The wiskerz script just makes it easy
so whiskerz script installs supervised
no it installs ha os
@lucid haven That LXC installation represents a very small subset of HA user installs, so not many are familiar with it and it can be confusing. There's a vm installer script for proxmox, and the LXC installation, and most were told to stay away from the LXC choice, but people still do it. https://www.home-assistant.io/more-info/unsupported/lxc/
Octoprint and homebridge which i may retire if HA will be good enough
OctoPrint is nice to have on a dedicated device 🙂
i dont print very often and it worked great while running alongside homebridge for quite some time now
I don't think I could do without Octoprint
HA can replace HomeBridge very easily
yes thats my goal
but i am spending 2 days just trying to install the damn thing
It took me about 1 hour. And 30 minutes was me not following the installation instructions 😂
at first i tried without docker, it was a mess. i had to upgrade my python.
it broke some other stuff and even then it was failing to install HA
then i started with a fresh dietpi OS install with docker, still errors in the docker container
Why DietPi?
because i dont want all of the bloatware that i had with the original rpi OS
it was recommended over on reddit.. guess that was a fail
ill give Debian a shot.
Any headless OS will be lighter.
Though running a pi off an SSD makes a world of difference
i want to be able to use VNC connect to control the pi from my phone
Why VNC? You can SSH from your phone 🙂
not when im away from home
for octoprint, I'm guessing?
And if you install it right, you'll never need to touch the machine itself aside from updates.
not really needed for ha
OctoPrint works via reverse proxy for me
not really. i just like to have the ability to do so
You can set up remote SSH access. You'll want remote access to HA anyway
I guess maybe I was wrong then. Perhaps it's been so long since I installed it I'm not clear on the differences between Supervised and HA OS version. My apologies. When I get home and have access to the console I'll dig in a little further
If I could post a screenshot here I would post the system info page where it says "Installation Type Home Assistant OS"
yeah no idea why it reports as haos that's all I can tell you
Also whenever there is an update to Home Assistant OS, it shows me an update is available in the HA UI with the option to install the OS update. Which I always keep up to date. I was pretty certain I was running HA OS..
That's Supervised too
@lucid haven either way, the lxc install is unsupported so it is similar to supervised. You're running a docker ecosystem of many containers inside a container. But I believe it's the networking which makes it an issue
I see. My mistake for not recognizing the difference. I might have to try and spin up a VM and install HA OS to see if I notice any improvements from my current install
It's just confusing with the language used. When the UI provides the option to update "home assistant OS", it made me assume that I was running HA OS and not supervised. But when @low notch pointed out the lines in the install script show ha supervised being installed I realized that wasn't the case. I did a manual install of HA Supervised a long time ago and wasn't happy with the results. This was before there was an easy solution to install an HA OS on a proxmox VM.
Hey all, I'm running HAOS 8.5, HA 2022.11.1, and Supervisor 2022.11.0. I'm stuck in that update fail loop. I've tried running the posted script in the forums, but it doesn't not appear to "stick". Supervisor seems just stuck on that broken version. Any tips?
FWIW i ran the script right from my VMware Remote Console, the equivalent of hooking up a mouse/keyboard.
So I have a dumb question. I let my SD card fail in my Pi and didn't have a recent backup. I was able to forensically extract a partial backup from a week ago. When I reinstall on a fresh sd card then restore from the WebUI it hangs forever. Is there a trick to get it to go through?
Like should I set up a local user then upload then restore?
I think everything was backed up but SSL and I got the keys back
@lucid haven haos on proxmox vm works good. suggest using the one-liner scripts to install. Soooo easy.
So I can’t figure this one out. My oracle VM virtualbox was having issues starting up. I uninstalled it and reinstalled virtualbox. Now the VM starts, but it starts up in emergency mode. Once it’s booted I have tons of errors. Being in the CLI, I did the “ha backups restore slug” to my latest working copy. I did a ha host reboot. But I’m still starting up in emergency mode, and still getting EXT4-fs error. Any help?
I just got home from work and had a chance to inspect my HA install a little more. My system info screen says: Host Operating System Home Assistant OS 9.3. When I log into the OS console it says: Welcome to Home Assistant OS. As far as I knew I was running HA OS for the last few years until I was told today that I can't run HA OS in an LXC container. I'm not sure any more, definitely confused. I originally tried both a VM and a LXC container but decided to go with the LXC container because it performed noticeably better than the VM install on my machine that has limited resources. I did move some services off my HA machine to their own dedicated hardware so it might be worth a revisit running HA in a VM instead of in an LXC container. I haven't had any issues but for the sake of keeping current I'll have to give it a shot sometime.
EXT4-fs error (device sda8) in ext4-free_inode:360: Corrupt filesystem
Found this online: Press kentery when the system stops during boot systemct1 stop systemd-journald umount A /dev/disk/by-label/hassos-data fsck.ext4 /dev/ disk/by-label/hassos-data
Keep pressing enter through all the prompts.
I have no idea what it did tbh. But I was able to ha host reboot after hitting enter thru all the prompts and HA started up without any errors
An issue I’m still noticing. It still starts in emergency mode. So after the computer reboots, the Vmservicetray won’t autostart the VM. How do I get it out of emergency mode??
The answer will be in why it's going into emergency mode
Still, complaints about corrupt file systems ... those aren't a good sign
It’s not notifying me that there’s corrupt files anymore after I did the above (my message at 10:04pm)
10:04 ... your time, which isn't my time 😉
That it happened at all isn't great, but I'm assuming you had the VM crash
Lol true. I did the steps that I found online (mentioned a couple messages above) to get rid of the errors.
But still having issues with the Vmservicetray starting up. And I just got an aeotec z-wave stick 7 that I can’t pass thru the VM yet. Troubleshooting that too
Hello install Home Assistent OS of Docker ?
So I was able to recover most of my stuff from my old disk. I lost my names for all 150 zigbee devices and 30 zwave devices. Does anyone know where this data was stored so I can copy the file over?
I don't really want to have to go refigure out names and automation syncs
That's going to be in the .storage/ folder - along with a load of other important files
Yeah, i found it core.entity_registration
Just haven't been successful in getting it to stick
I scp'd over and restarted but all my ZHA groups are unnamed. Just group 7 vs what they used to be.
It reloaded everything in the UI
Just not the integrations
Did you copy over the entire folder, or try to cherry pick single files?
Hello guys I have HA Supervisor running in a VM which is great until like this week i have had my Unraid server down for a few days. Which got me to thinking (i know dangerous) is it possible to have a designated system to run HA that jumps in if the server goes down. I have similar running pihole on 2 Pi's if one goes dow the other jumps in to take over?
Tried to cherry pick
I copied over the zigbee db in the past and it was corrupted
Everything is back except the zigbee groups
err ZHA
I am trying to install docker compose prior to installing HA Container
I've set up my SSD and installed docker via the convenience script here : https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#install-using-the-convenience-script
When I went to install docker compose I got this
Reading package lists... Done

docker-compose-plugin is already the newest version (2.12.2~raspbian-bullseye).
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

Did the convenience script install compose too?
probably, did you try docker compose or docker-compose?
@obsidian badger I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:
Thats what I get when trying docker compose
then that is installed
No problem, good time for me to start learning a bit more about it
services:
homeassistant:
container_name: homeassistant
image: "ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable"
volumes:
- /PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG:/config
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
restart: unless-stopped
privileged: true
network_mode: host```
Is there a recommended directory structure for the "path to your config" bit
it is up to you to keep things tidy
i prefer to have my docker-compose in ~/docker/ and their data in subfolders within
If I made a docker directory at the top level, and then a config in that, would I replace PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG with /docker/config
or is that an instruction to compose to use the containers path to my config?
Yes
Since 2022.12 philips tv integration dont work anymore
I need some assistance getting up and running. I've tried everything and can't seem to figure it out. I used Ubuntu and installed HA on a Wyse 5020. When I reboot, I get a Secure Boot message that says "Image failed to verify with ACCESS DENIED Press any key to continue". When I press a key it takes me to a screen that has >>Start PXE over IPv4. on the top left....anyone know how to resolve this?
If you're using HAOS the computer has to support UEFI
How would I find out if the computer support UEFI? Sorry, I'm very new to this but really want to get started on it and learning.
Check the BIOS, which if it supports UEFI will talk about UEFI a lot
(because at that point it's not technically the BIOS any more)
https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/d/dx0q/firmware.shtml suggests it should, at least if your firmware is new enough
It shows boot mode as UEFI under advanced in BIOS
That's a good start
https://askubuntu.com/questions/710146/how-to-fix-secure-boot-error-image-failed-to-verify-with-access-denied-on-st may help you - I just Googled the error message 
Thanks @humble mirage - I was able to resolve it by disabling secure boot in bios....
For those who installed HAOS to a PC to exclusively run HA (not using a VM), do you use anything to access the console window from another PC? So you don't have to have a separate monitor/keyboard for it?
@crisp bough install the ssh add-on, and then you can access remotely
Hi everyone, i have desperately tried to install HA without doing the whole HA OS thing since i wanted to do more with my raspberry pi.
I wanted to ask, is it possible to run more things on HA OS? Stuff like python scripts, or Octoprint
I don't know that I'd want to run octoprint on the same pi as a bunch of other stuff. Seems like a good way to wind up with a bunch of artifacts in your prints.
I currently have Octoprint+homebridge+constantly running python script without any issues
I was able to install HA using Docker and its running well but i think i am missing a lot of things. No addon store to be found anywhere
I have a question. Up to now, I have only ever dealt with Docker Compose. But now I read that Docker Compose is not really good for HA and that there are no addons for it. Is that correct?
I am currently using the following image: ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
Which image would you recommend?
that is alright
Hello, does anyone have experience with HAOS on rpi3b+ with booting from usb?
Then maybe I did something right after all 🙂 But how do I add a new device from Meross, for example? Here I am a bit in despair.
I'll take a look - thanks!
Virtualbox VM starting in emergency mode. Getting error:
sulogin: tcgetattr failed: input/output error
Can anyone help clear this error?
Anyone here know how to get access to the host OS remotely?
Trying to execute a command in a addon container, but it seems like hassos is designed to prevent access to the base os?
I just want to: podman exec -ti <container> /bin/bash
Er... I guess it's docker around here, though. 🙂
i gave you the command. did it not work?
Found the error. Posted the “input/output” error a couple messages above
@dusty palm you can install the "SSH & Web Terminal" addon, which adds a docker container, and lets you ssh into that. Where you can do most things...
But it's not the native haos.
@dusty palm you can enable ssh to the host. There isn't much to do there. https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/operating-system/debugging/#home-assistant-operating-system
But I would make use of the SSH & Web Terminal add-on (the one from the community add-on section, not the core). Disable protection mode in the add-on config, and then you can use docker commands to get in containers
Thank-you... This was the information I was trying to find!
I didn't realize there was a community add-on that allowed you to disable the protection mode.
Is my issue hardware or software?
If it’s software I’m just about ready to delete everything and start over
looks like your VM is trying to touch a ... serial port? Maybe it doesn't have any?
Maybe just enable serial port in your virtualbox config
Sorry I took so long to reply, yes, I am sure I am not connecting to that one as the original one is in a completely different domain (I also tried logging in with the other one's credentials just in case)
I used the standard ova image. I imported it and started it. When I logged in I got welcomed by the login screen instead of the onboarding one.
I ran haos on virtualbox with no problems for a bit. Sec, have a meeting now
I enabled USB 2.0 to passthru my aeotec z-wave stick. Reversed the changes I made and still got the input/output error. I will try enabling serial port after my meeting. Thanks
Howdy, trying to get up and running but cant seem to communicate with HA.
Installed HA OS on PI4 and am trying to communicate to a different port on the router. Router sees port being used, but is sending no data.
DNS Address not found when going to homeassistant.local:8123
if homeassistant.local is not working, your mdns isn't working on your lan
try the ip address
what do you mean, you're trying to communicate on a different port? instead of 8123?
@copper steppe - cmd cant find pi to get address (when i connect to my switch, it communicates fine)
check your router/dhcp server to see what address it got.
or use "arp" to see if you can spot it
@pulsar oxide - HA connected to port 2 or router, network switch connected to port 4 of router (meant to specify on OP)
SHouldn't matter which port it's using on your router, that's just a switch for the lan anyway, right?
that was my thought.... when i plugged it into a random wall port, it worked fine (but wasn't in the location i officially wanted it)
and your wall outlet is plugged into the switch?
correct
and what if you plug it into 1 or 3?
or plug it into the switch.
unless your router has a special "WAN" port which is not like the others
I will try port 3 next
port 2 is technically a "wan/lan" port, but is reading as lan
that was what i was wondering. if one of the ports was set up different
Like some switches will only take an input in port 1
ill give it a few more minutes, but switching to port 3 "lan only" port showing same result
after that, my thought is to find a monitor to take down there to see if its mad about something (unless there are any more thoughts)
well, interestingly enough...port 3 worked.
odd, since security cameras still communicate over port 2.. so probably one of those random things/settings. Either way, it is "Preparing" now.
3rd party help was much appreciated.
next stop, the integrations thread 😋
So I found out on different threads on community.home-assistant.io that the z-wave stick I have needs to passthru the vm as a serial device and not a USB device
I enabled COM4 in the serial port vm settings
Now the z-wave stick shows under the home assistant hardware list
Unfortunately the vm is still starting in emergency mode with the same error as before:
sulogin: tcgetattr failed: Input/output error
im not very up on VMs and i'm late to the convo but do you still get the error with the usb unplugged?
I don’t see that setting “baud rate”. The only settings I can do are:
Port number, IRQ, I/O port, port mode, path/address
And mine are:
Port Number: COM4
IRQ: 3
I/O port: 0x2E8
Port Mode: Host Device
Path/Address: COM4
i think the path address needs to be something like /dev/tty.device_id
what is you main OS?
Windows 10
hmm and no access to a linux or mac?
Nope😂 this vm is in ubunto which i think is linux?
well i think you need the device name of the stick and you can easily get it from another os
Gotcha I see what you’re saying. I have the device name of the stick. I got that from the HA hardware list
you could enable the windows subsystem and install a lite version of linux to get it
that's probably a generic device name but what is it
Yes it is in the format you were talking about. It is /dev/ttyUSB0
That’s the device path I listed^
what ha hardware list are you referring to
From home assistant: settings -> system -> hardware -> 3 dots in top right corner -> All Hardware
I thought you couldn't fire up the VM. you have ha installed somewhere else?
It starts in emergency mode
It gives me the option to hit cntrl+D to continue
So I can’t use the VboxVmservicetray to keep it running in the background
ah. let me ask you this. when setting up the vm. did you create a device filter
in the usb section
Yessir. I have two USB device filters:
First one: cygnal integrated products, INC CP210x UART Brodge / myAVR mySmartUSB light [0100]
Second: Silicon Labs CP2102N USB to UART Bridge Controller [0100]
can you delete them and try to start the vm back up with your original serial settings
these ones:
Port Number: COM4
IRQ: 3
I/O port: 0x2E8
Port Mode: Host Device
Path/Address: COM4
I deleted the two USB filters and restarted the VM. It still puts me in “you are in emergency mode.”
ok. one more try. just put the path address as com3
and the mode as host device
leave the top 3 blank
or however they were
or did it auto set them?
It auto set the top 3
did you sgo in to guest setting too?
Sgo guest setting? Not sure where that’s located in the vm?
i found this user with the same issue i'm experiencing.
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/you-are-in-emergency-mode-after-reboot/317826
which states to use this fix:
Press <enter> when the system stops during boot
systemctl stop systemd-journald
umount -A /dev/disk/by-label/hassos-data
fsck.ext4 /dev/disk/by-label/hassos-data
Keep pressing <enter> through all the prompts
but i've tried that before, and it doesn't fix it for me
Im trying to install home assistant on my rpi 3. But it seems to get stuck while booting. Here is the last thing it shows me before doing nothing https://imgur.com/hMeEUWt
@dark jetty is there a Client Connections section?
Quick question : I have an august lock that came with a hub, an Orvibo hub and a trafdi hub. Do I really need this much hubs to connect all these brands? If not, how do I linked them to a single hub?
@fervent pelican what happens if you go to http://x.x.x.x:8123 where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the pi?
@calm onyx 3 hubs?
Nothing happens
maybe the ip changed lemme try getting it again
I call them hubs, because they came with a connected device. I want to know if I could just have one.
Nope, still cant connect
Thue august hub might be a bridge for the lock depending on what model it is. The Orvibo one is for if you have zigbee devices and im not sure about the trafdi thing
don't know that its a hub
Tradfri hub is zigbee
not a client connections, but there is a network section
using bridged adapter
ethernet

Nolos said the orvibo hub is for zigbee, so you could replace the orvibo and tradfri hubs with a Zigbee adapter. See #zigbee-archived for more info
is there a serial ports tab
yes. thats where i provided you with the settings from. when you had me change to com3
so you had it setup in the serial tab and in the usb tab?
yes, both locations. apparently thats needed for the aeotec stick
ok so i unplugged the USB, shutdown windows, restarted PC, restarted VM and hallelujah: started normal. did not start in emergency. idk why it works now, but it does. i've restarted windows a billion times these past 72 hours. VboxVmservicetray doesn't start/run in background, i'm looking into this now
it always turns out to be something simple
theres a lot of people talking about unplugging/replugging the usb in a specific order
it wouldn't hurt for you to install the guest additions now that you're in
lol i know right. HA has been installed/working since late 2020/early 2021 on my computer but these past 3 days it's been wanting to start in emergency mode. never seen that before this past week.
what are the guest additions?
extra vm stuff that you install on the guest vm has extra features for the outside-the-box stuff
gotcha. i will look into a guest vm. i barely have this HA VM working lmao
that's why i'm trying to figure out how to keep it running in the background now and to autostart with Windows
go to the machine section in virtualbox and create a shortcut and then take that shortcut from the desktop and put it in your startup folder
that was already done. My issue was because I upgraded to VirtualBox 7.0.4, I needed to upgrade to Vmservicetray 7.0 https://github.com/onlyfang/VBoxVmService/releases/tag/7.0-Persimmon
I was on the old 6.1 vmservicetray https://github.com/onlyfang/VBoxVmService/wiki
Every now and then, I receive a warning that someone tried and failed to log into my HA instance. Sometimes it's family members, and I'm guessing sometimes it's hackers. But I can't tell, because it shows the IP of my inbound nginx instead of the real IP. a) where would I go about changing that b) can I somewhere see the IP of connected clients/accounts ?
how long is it supposed to take when you install a backup upon first start-up of a new HAOS system? ish? mine's been working for at least 10 min now...seems very long?
Depends on the size of the backup, the speed of the device you're restoring it to, etc

I get this error log while preparing to install HAOS on RPi3b
Hey guys, where did they put the restore backup button on the initial setup screen? Does any know where I can upload my backup files to? I'm using the latest docker image. :/
There's no restore option unless you're using HAOS
older NUC with an i5 and 8GB of RAM. it's still working. over an hour in. Surely it's a failed attempt, right? if it makes a difference, the backup tar is 80MB.
No idea... I don't use HAOS
I'm guessing that you don't have any indicator of its CPU activity
I've got an HA Container setup running well from some of the folks here 🙂 What would be the cleanest way to install this https://github.com/fwestenberg/reolink_dev ?
no. just the wheel in the web interface still spinning...
Have you checked on it in another tab? I don't think that that wheel actually updates once it's done.
There are instructions in that repo
Actually, there's 2 sets of instructions. So you think either of those would be the best way to install it in a docker environment?
My assumption is that manual cannot auto-update, and HACS probably has some form of update checking. Have not used HACS.
Yeah, your HA installation method is (mostly) irrelevant when it comes to installing custom integrations. HACS does provide a frontend for installing and updating custom integrations. I don't use a lot of custom things so I just manage that myself without HACS
Anyone familiar with Multus? From what I've read, it's what I need to enable device discovery/mdns for Home Assistant Core on Kubernetes (in my case, K3S on raspberry pis)
It's easy enough to install, but configuration is... well, networking was never easy for me
Hmm. I might just clone the repo, and make a symbolink link in custom_components to the relevant folder, that way an update is just a git pull away. Rather not add HACS just for 1 component. Alternative, home-bake a docker image just to overlay it
That's exactly what I do 😄
Any chance you're using docker-compose?
Oh, or did you mean symlink
If it was symlink... HA doesn't seem to like my symlink. Extracting the folder to custom_components, it shows up in integrations. replace it with symlink, does not show up;.
Both
The symlink will need to point to the path in the container
It will show as invalid on the host but will work in the container
That's some deep stuff. I'm going to remote into the container to make the link 🙂
@brisk willow Sweet, up and running!
Does anyone know what is the problem?
lol. okay. that was the dumbest thing ever. Yeah....it had done it. the UI just never told me. And I was too afraid to interrupt the process thinking that'd break it.
Glad that you've figured it out!
Good evening, I have an HA VirtualBox server that I attempted to update to 2022.12.0. When the update finished, the web gui went nuts. It just keeps constantly restarting and losing connection. I rebooted the VM, but I am unable to do anything in the GUI. I can briefly navigate around, but it will restart after a couple seconds. I cannot launch the update to 2022.12.1. Any thoughts?
I can't even restore backup via CLI, just give me a check supervisor message
Can I get help
Hmmm can't attach an image ..
I can't connect to nabu casa in Google home. This is an initial setup, but I did do a trial a couple years ago
whats going on
Trying to figure out how to attach a pic.
On connections to Nabu from Google home, it says...
"could not reach home assistant cloud. Please try again"
home assistant is up to date correct?
Tried a few days ago as well
I'm almost certain it is. Did a docker update
But I'm confused because Google home isn't even asking for a login prompt
but home assistant itself is connected to nabucasa?
I thought they were the same
Oh yes
But like
No
For Remote UI, it connects and shows the url
But if I refresh the Nabu page, the showing it's connected disappears!
Ok, I'll have to try to figure out how to go into the docker container to do that ig
I wish my iq was above 40
Can't find the nmcli command
Where is supervisor in the ui
I can't follow the instructions at all. It's like its for a really old.version of the software.
How did you install home assistant?
Via docker
Currently in UNRAID
All the documentation on these topics seem to be on older versions. People in threads having the same complaints of not being able to follow them 😓
Goodnight..
How do I fix the onboarding error
It says try refreshing, i tried it but its still loading
Then you don't have a supervisor...
Ahh then that’s different you gotta lookup disabling ipv6 on unraid
hey all, new to this whole thing, just got a server running Rocky 9 trying to get Home Assistant up and running, but having some issues on the creating new VM step, i get an error when i try to install. any help would be greatly appreciated!
Explain what guide you're trying to follow, and what the error is
Which of the four there?
KVM
And ... which of the two KVM options there?
manager
error says unable to complete install: internal error : qemu unexpected closed the monitor
A port already exsists by that name
FYI, it's better if you copy and paste errors, rather than retyping them
i know, its 2 seperate machines
i know, i said i'm new to all this, i'm still learning, i just had to redo the whole thing, i know little to nothing about servers i'm also setting up remote access and all that too, i'm getting there, lol
I'd maybe try virt-install to see if that's caused by virt-manager
SSH is your friend though
ok that worked, thanks, but now it asking for my home assistant login, did i miss something? i don't think i created one yet
?

I can't update (more than a year since last update) and can't access installation from ssh, neither to administrator panel
What's your install type
hassio image in a RP3
Does the pi have internet?
yes
Wasn't to you
sorry
So can you log in to the instance or is it just not working at all
yes, cable, DHCP
another device works fine from this Ethernet port and cable
version of HA is in my broken instance is Home Assistant 2021.1.5
Sounds like could be a DNS issue
Why are you running such an outdated version
It wasn’t maintened by me during a long time but now I need to update it and install new addons
Google DNS, all fine for another devices
Are you able to open GitHub normally?
yes
Then no clue sorry
I can access everything but I can’t access to Supervisor (old) tab. Neither addons… but automations, frontend are accesible
moar access!
What's a supervisor...
I can't find add-ons either!!!
There's no add ons, because the add-ons require the supervisor
How did you install HA?
Docker?
What is supervisor
It's what "runs" home assistant on some systems, kind of
Keeps the containers in control, handles errors and things
So should I install a Ubuntu 22.04 vm?
If you want a VM, you can download the image from the website
Image?
Keep in mind, most add-ons can just run in a sperate docker container that you can tell home assistant to use
Yes, like a .vmdk file (for VMware)
Tbh, I just want Nabu casa to work...
Home assistant cloud works in all installation methods
Wait, I have to install a pre-made vm image to use HA? That's insane...
Settings > Home Assistant Cloud
Yes.. that's how most virtual machines work
You can install from an ISO, but you're still basically getting the same end result
The image is everything already out together for you
That isn't a pre-made image then..
It is a pre-made image
If you really want to use an ISO (which there really is no point to doing) then you can download it from the website: https://home-assistant.io/installation/generic-x86-64
I see it has a premade image, I'm just saying that that is extremely uncommon way to distribute software
That's all
Many people distribute pre-made images
Like VMware for example
And most things that run on a raspberry pi.
its just a bare minimum os with docker, all the images get downloaded on first boot
Sorry, I did misspeak. I mean VM images, not iso files.
I'm out for now. This is all just a mess. Why release a docker image if it doesn't work.
Nabu casa can't connect.
What's the error?
It sure would be nice if screenshots were allowed. One sec
On the "Remote UI" screen of Nabu, when you tell it to connect, it appears to and the url is associated.
but, even just on a page refresh, it disconnects/disappears
Does the card say "Logged in and Connected"?
there is a extra #cloud-archived channel for nabu casa related issues
On google-home/assistant, I can't connect to nabu service initially, saying some error about not being able to connect. Doesnt even ask for credentials
Can upload to Imgur if you want
This is most likely a google home issue. You are using home assistant cloud, correct?
I'm not looking to be banned. If images are not allowed, I'll be bypassing rules. I've been banned from servers for that before. This is such a hostile community. Why try to trick me.
@placid sage we should move to #cloud-archived
Everyone here uses imgur once in a while
It's not banned
@wise trout 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.
If you are having issues with home assistant cloud you can go to https://www.nabucasa.com/support/
I'm not trying to be hostile - If I came off as such, that is my bad.
No, you definitely haven't been hostile.
The forums mostly, where people say ~RTFM on things the manual no longer supports.
I was up most of the night on this and am resulting cranky, sorry for assuming @manic bane was trying to get me banned.
It's a "funny" thing to do to people in discord on servers.
I sincerely apologize the way I was speaking, it wasn't right of me
You're completely fine - I've been extremely cranky trying to get home assistant things setup too, so it's not just you 😅

Sorry, couldn't resist
Tbf I don't use Nabu Casa, but that should work regardless of installation method
The only reason I use it is because I got so frustrated trying to do things manually I just gave them my money because I didn't care anymore
As a SW Dev, Integrator, and CI engineer, that phrase is maddening. All Ol
Lol*
"oh, just use this docker container".
- at a company with no licenses, vm's are forbidden, and all machines on Windows.
At least as of 3 weeks ago, systemd and docker now works on WSL. 😡
😩
Because IT and Management don't understand tech very well and it hasn't been classified as such 🙂
company assistant? 
What is the proper process to upgrade HA when using Docker Compose? The documentation feels a little disjointed when it comes to processes like this.
Thanks, I followed a similar Stack Overflow post in the end.
what am i missing? i'm using the linux guide on the HA website using KVM, manager didn't work so i did the install and it ran, now its asking for HA creds? i saw that root gets me some options, but the next step in the guide is to run the VM....?
who is asking for credentials?
after i ran the install command line, it asked for HA login info
like in the terminal?
odd never seen that
it really should only create and run the vm
@placid sage link to a screenshot?
Ah if you're trying to use login on the SSH add on it will ask for creds
yea im not getting this. i tried to do it all again and now it says its in use by other guests and i try the check command but its giving an error too
im gonna put discord on there so i can share better
makes sense the virt-install command will try to create a new vm
Depends on what your other choices are
@humble mirage nice festive pfp

@robust crescent Please do not cross post. Read the channel description, post it and wait for folks to respond. Crossposting wastes people's time as they're unaware of the help you're getting elsewhere.
If you don't get any responses after an hour or more, and your message is no longer on screen, it is fine to re-post or post a link to it.

Hey all!
I just followed the instructions to upgrade HA on a Pi and now when I navigate to the HA page, it's taking me to the onboarding process again... but I can see all the files in my homeassistant folder... Anyone know what's going wrong?
I followed these instructions for docker, under the "update" tab:
I'm an idiot... I missed obvious steps...
@fleet spruce I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:
The colon after /homeassistant and before /config is important... obviously... but I'm dumb today... -v /homeassistant:/config
you should check out docker-compose; it makes things quite a bit easier to manage
But why
i only have a spare pi 3 b+ and that tablet
ive got 3 pi 3 b+'s but idk what to do with them
That tablet could end up being worse than a pi3b+. Plus it's a tablet. So pointless for HA
sure
ok
Hi All, I'm about as noob as it gets to home assistant, I've been researching and setting it up for 2/3 days now. I've connected my HA instance to my Kodi instance and i noticed that i am not seeing thumbnails under Media in music, video, , tv show, or channels. However, when an item is playing, I can see album art in a card. Is this a bug? How can this be fixed? I'm pretty savy with kodi and i strongly believe it is not on on kodi side. All thumbs on the webui of kodi display properly and can be sent out over api call
#integrations-archived is the channel to use get help with integrations
sure, thank you
Hi. I’m running HAOS on a RPi and SSD. Upgrading from 2022.11.3 to 12.1 has been running for 3d minutes (and counting). Included backup, but backup typically takes 5 or 10 min. Should I let it keep running or…? Thx
Hi all. Is HAOS actively supported? Been trying to get it installed on a ThinkCentre m72e Tiny using the guidance here: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/generic-x86-64 however getting Error 1962: No OS found on boot. I've ensured UEFI is enabled and secure boot isn't but no joy so far
those ThinkCentre boxes can reject OSs that they don't whitelist
how did you install the HA image?
did you do it on the ThinkCentre, or flash it somewhere else and then install it in the machine?
Tried a direct copy to SSD from my windows box, and then tried direct on the machine using a live cd. Used BalenaEtcher both times with same result
Only thing I haven't tried yet is adding the EFI entry
I had to fight with exactly that a few months ago
Nvm, just came up. Patience is a virtue
I could go the docker route, but as this machine will be purely for HA it seems a bit pointless
it helped to do the installation directly on the machine via USB drive, rather than configuring it elsewhere
but yes, there are lots of instructions on the web for creating the right EFI entries
it really wants Windows
Thanks Rob, I'll give that a go and see how far I get with it. Windows is the last thing I ever want to install on it 😄
it was a giant pain in the neck, but I was just installing Debian
It's never easy is it
I wasted a day or two swapping drives back and forth and cursing that machine
I have a feeling I'll be doing exactly the same
just add a Windows EFI entry that points to the entry for HA
I think this is what I used: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB/EFI_examples#M92p_ThinkCentre
do it on the ThinkCentre with the drive installed and via a USB drive live Linux install, not on some other machine
I've just tried that but no joy. I might just have to go down the docker router
you'll probably need to do the same thing for a regular Debian Linux install to be able to use a container install
so even if you select the drive it doesnt find anything?
I've decided to go with proxmox. The guy I bought the machine from had his set up like that originally before buying new hardware, and seems to be going well so far. Thanks for all the help with it Rob
Correct, the machine/BIOS can see the SSD, but refused to pick up the OS from it
Hi all, im trying to setup a supervised version of HA and am having issues during the ping for checkonline.home-assistant.io getting 100% packet loss, also cant acces it via browser. Anyone got any ideas?
Do you mean Home Assistant OS, or did you really mean the Supervised installer?
Supervised
That's a terrible choice
OS does not give me root level access via ssh for use with vscode etc
You ... don't need root access
Your problem above is either DNS or networking related
You can have them too 😉
Not sure where to ask this, but I have an Insteon PLM I’m trying to integrate with HA. I’ve attached the PLM via Serial to USB and the serial to USB is present inside HAOS.
The #integrations-archived channel is likely a better place
Thank you
Morning all @tender ferry did you get your install sorted? I had no problems on m910q
I only needed to pay attention to the discord update. 😛
im somewhat new to HA, but i've been using it for almost a week now, and i would like to add the virtual disks i've created on vmware, with the HA OVA. Everything is installed and running, but im limited to the storage that's preconfigured. I read through the docs, and it hasn't
helped me achieve my end goal.
I have a 32 GB virtual drive and 248 GB virtual drive in addition to the default 8GB drive it has.
is there a way to actually use the storage, or am I wasting my time?
(what I'd do) If you're using HAOS, just make a backup, then reinstall it with a bigger disk, then restore the backup.
There might be smarter/resize ways, but I don't know vmware specifcially
Right, is there a reason for the 3 separate virtual drives you have instead of growing the existing
HAOS will autoexpand if you grow the disk it's already on
well the OVA has a deafault size of 8GB.
I thought it was expanded to 32GB a long time ago
it says the max size (OVA) is 8gb for disk size with the OS on it.
But you download the ova from the ha website. Which should be 32gb
you're right. user error. I got the virtual disks mixed up. Removed the duplicates and expanded the capacity of the disk
Trying to setup a camera petfeeder that is powered by tuya, i was able to get the pet feeder to install using both the supported tuya integration and the localtuya integration, but the only thing i can get it to do is turn the front light on and off.
If i navigate into the device and toggle any of the flip toggles or try to view the camera, i get nothing
Idk what i' doing wrong. I cant get home assistant OS to install on my rpi4. I managed to get Raspian to install.
not helpful. you should say what you're doing, what is happening, and how that's unexpected.
( i hit enter too soon)
I get it to begin boot. it runs a bunch of code, with green oks, but goes blank "early", when compared to a youtube video that shows the code running. no errors show when going through the OKs
i've attempted through ssd with usb boot, two different sd cards. all stop approximately in the same spot
is it changing video mode to something your monitor doesn't support?
I don't think so? Best way to test that? running to acer ips monitor. raspian will go through to the monitor
