ipv4 is 4 octets, aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, and they're called octets because there are 2^8th numbers in there 🙂

heavy whale
#

that's an octal based system

#

is it not?

humble mirage
#

Binary, really

#

Four bytes, aka octects

heavy whale
#

oh lol

#

my brain just jumped to thinking octets and octals are the same

heavy gorge
#

The CCNA basics class is in session

median shale
#

next you're going to be ordering the octopus

heavy whale
#

4 bytes, each of 0-256 in size

#

minus the multicast

#

or wait, the multicast counts too

#

it's just 0 through 255

#

which is 256 ion total

# 
128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1,
0    0   0   0   0  1  1  1 = 7
1    1   1   1   1  1  1  1 = max 255
0    0   0   0   0  0  0  0 = min 0
median shale
#

and 254 of them are usable

heavy whale
#

minus the multicast indeed

median shale
#

and the gateway

heavy whale
#

next we'll be playing around with ip fragmentation and mtu sizes

median shale
#

no we will not.

heavy whale
#

ok

#

sorry I'll stop

#

I gotta figure out the mac of my router to see if I can make a ARP poison attack rule in wireshark to figure out if anything is getting poisoned

Hey im cofused to how to.

i have here a rasberry pi 4 with broken usb ports and a cb1 (less powerful rasberry clone)

I would like to use the rasberry as my main home assistant device which is already installed and running.)

What can i install / how do i install the cb1 as a local screen in my personal room and maiby as a file acces (i would like to add the external ssd to the cb1)

heavy whale
#

you could use some sort of network storage like NFS or SMB perhaps

#

and a screen shouldn't be hard, you just need a full screen web browser and the address of your home assistant. You could even run it in some kind of kiosk mode depending on the OS you install

#

a touch screen is even cooler

#

I think I'll be using some sort of tablet for mine

shy flare
#

it is a touch screen with the cb1 (not with the rasberry)
tft screen as far as i know

heavy whale
#

cool

shy flare
#

rn i have only found this precompiled in the guiithub page
i dont know how to really make screen display the webpage to be honest

#

CB1_Debian11_minimal_kernel5.16_20240319.img.xz

heavy whale
#

I'm not sure what the cb1 is exactly, but I figure if it runs linux, you could probably get an X session on it to display a window I guess?

#

X11 or wayland

#

xorg

#

there's loads of window managers and desktop environments to use in that case

shy flare
#

hmm okay thanks for the info so basecall for storage that i can connect to home assistant i can use;

  • NfS
  • SMB

For the screen i could try:

  • X11
  • Wayland
  • xorg

Thats gonna be fun to try

heavy whale
#

use what you fancy

#

it's not easy, I can tell you that

#

for linux you'll want to choose a desktop environment to install, which is easier then manually configuring xorg/X11 or wayland

#

there are tons of them out there

proven grove
#

@shy flare Just so I understand you correctly, you want to run HA on a rPi and have a screen attached to that as well displaying the dashboard, correct?

heavy whale
#

like Gnome, KDE, cinnamon, enlightenment, pantheon, mate, and a bunch of others

#

LXDE, XFCE the list goes on and on

#

no, he wants to have the screen attached to the cb1

#

which is running a debian linux distro if I'm not mistaken

shy flare
heavy whale
#

and the home assistant is on the raspberry pi

#

well, if you get a bit famillair with the TTY, it is definitly possible

#

if the cb1 has little resources, I suggest a lightweight desktop environment

#

LXDE or XFCE are probably good choices

#

you'll need a display manager as well, to start the desktop environment when you log in

proven grove
heavy whale
#

it's like a login manager

#

the thing is though, the raspberry is not the one with the screen, so it's not gonna be running raspbian

#

either way he'll have to set something up on the cb1

proven grove
#

The CB1 is a rPi clone. It should be able to run raspbian.

heavy whale
#

once he has a desktop environment and a login manager on his debian linux system that he was about to install on the cb1, then he'll be able to start a desktop and open up something like chromium (a open source fork of the chrome web browser)

heavy whale
#

get a distro with a pre-configured desktop environment like raspbian

#

and just open up chromium

#

and set it to kiosk mode

heavy whale
#

but I like raspbian, it's pretty lean for small resource devices

shy flare
#

Okay
basecally installing rasbian on sd card setup chromium and a kiosk up
much to learn but i get into that thank you guys very much

heavy whale
#

that should be the easiest route, you can also delve into a TTY with debian minimal, which is more hardcore 😛

#

we can make it a lot more complicated too if we put gentoo into the mix and having to compile your own linux kernel

#

or maybe linux from scratch, but I don't really recommend that unless you want to take weeks to get a project finished

#

but it is a nice learning experience if you go that route lol

shy flare
#

Like i could do that i did some other compiling in the past but linux kernel might be a few levels over my skill mindblown

heavy whale
#

I went through it a couple of times, there is a LOT to configure, I can tell you that

proven grove
heavy whale
#

it would basically mean having to configure which features you want your linux kernel to support for the specific hardware that you have, you'd have to be pretty well versed in the hardware that you are using to figure out which type of kernel level features the cb1 needs

#

so I think it's not a good idea

#

I'm just mentioning it because it could be a fun side project when you have a lot of spare time

shy flare
#

yayit works like a typical apple product.

Well as a small update i figured out that the cb1 only use their specific firmware
any other firmware dont work.

back to the hard way :)

Hi all,
running HA on my Pi4 for quite a good time, the Installation is on an SSD attached via USB.

Today i would have liked to update HA OS from 12.3 to 12.4, but the Update fails with the MSG Popup:
Failed to call service update/install. Error updating Home Assistant Operating System: Unknown error, see supervisor
When looking through the Supervisor logs i found the following entry:
2024-06-20 16:08:54.014 ERROR (MainThread) [supervisor.os.manager] Home Assistant Operating System update failed with: Installation error: Failed updating slot boot.0: failed to run slot hook: Child process exited with code 1
any advise how to fix this? Searching with google ony ends me in topics without solutions (beside one that downloaded Backup and startet over with fresh install) but until now i would like to avoid this if possible

Most likely you have two HAOS installations on different media on that Pi. Did you install HAOS on the SD card as well as on the USB SSD and have both connected? 🤔

Hello, I just picked up a RPi5 and 128GB SD card, used RPi Imager to flash Home Assistant. I put the SD card in and have it shown up on HDMI to watch it boot, it just stays at Bootloader and looks like it doesn't find the partition, and it just keeps looping trying everything. Also, the NIC isn't activating....hardware issue?

humble mirage
#

You did flash the image for the 5, and not the 4 or the 3?

wise flume
#

correct

#

i specifically chose Rpi5

#

odd that the NIC won't even activate, let me try a new cable real quick

#

known good cable on a known good switch port...nothing on rpi5

median shale
#

try reflashing the card

wise flume
#

did twice already

median shale
#

what brand is the card?

wise flume
#

Samsung EVO 128GB

#

Came with the Canakit

median shale
#

ah, ok. you didn't say canakit so I thought maybe it was a fake card

#

have you tried flashing a different OS to it?

wise flume
#

nope not yet....guess thhat is next step?

median shale
#

it would certainly be a step I'd take

wise flume
#

trying now, will report back

wise flume
#

yup, RPi OS works just fine and network works too

#

so its something with Home Assistant

#

i thought the latest release for Rpi5 was stable

#

I am trying the RPi5 Home Assistant OS flash one more time.....

#

Nope.....says stuff like this:

Trying Partition: 0
Trying Partition: 63
Failed to open partition 63
Trying Partitin: 1
Failed to open partition 1
Boot Mode: USB-MSD (04) order f

#

Any ideas?

humble mirage
#

Flash an older version of HAOS?

wise flume
#

I wish I could, but the Raspberry Pi Imager only lets me choose the most recent option

I'm 3-5 hours into importing a partial backup (75MB from a working python venv/core install--that's now been wiped) to a fresh haos install. Cli "jobs info" shows the backup saying "done: true" and "progress: 0" and "stage: docker_config" Is that typical? I know backup imports can take a long time, but I can't tell if its hung or not.

foggy warren
#

Reviewing the logs, the server starts the backup restore, and then immediately (within 15s) says its complete. The job remains listed in "jobs info" and I've also tried restoring the backup after starting onboarding to the same log results. My server isn't huge, such that manually rebuilding it wouldn't be impossible, and it's starting to take as longs as rebuilding would require. Am I better off calling it a loss and just manually rebuilding it?

i'm not sure where to put this. I have a intel mac mini from 2012, i have a 128 GB HD and 16gb of Ram. What would be the best way to install Home Assistant on it. I don't need mac os on it or anything, could run on ubuntu or something else on the SSD whatever is easiest

proven grove
raven sail
#

is the docker route no longer recomended ?

proven grove
#

Well, on that old of a Mac, you're gonna run into I/O contention. But, it won't be too bad.

#

Oh, yeah, you can go with Container, absolutely. But most people want addons, so first suggestion is always HAOS.

humble mirage
#

I recommend that people use Container if they know/love/want to know Docker, otherwise HAOS

#

Or, if they hate themselves, they go Supervised

proven grove
#

You spoke the name of that which we don't speak the name

humble mirage

median shale
#

it's 12 years old, so that's not surprising

proven grove
raven sail
#

I don’t know docker well. I’m not even sure if I want add ons yet I have not done anything with home assistant before.

proven grove
median shale
#

but remember that it's a 12 year old computer and that those aren't very good.

raven sail
median shale
#

Apple dropped support for that system in 2020.

#

looks like a 3rd generation probably i5 cpu

proven grove
#

The 2012 Mac Mini has lots of issues with I/O contention (the onboard bus SUCKS). Plus, CPU contraints and such. You can throw a SSD in it and that will help. But, generally speaking, the chipset on a rpi4 will beat a 2012 Mac Mini computaionally.

median shale
#

ARM processors are RISC, and so things that are written for the platform are a bunch more efficient. also, though it doesn't matter much for HAOS, the pi4 has hardware encoding/decoding for various media types built in and intel didn't add that for 5 more cpu generations

raven sail
#

Ok I also have a m2 Mac mini that is always on. But I can’t run HA ont hat right?

proven grove
#

I don't think you'd want to dedicate a m2 Mac to HA. Kinda overkill.

raven sail
#

It’s my everyday one. Has scrypted on it and some other things.

Basically my late 2012 too crappy. M2 too nice

proven grove
raven sail
#

When you all say add ons what does that mean? Like. Adapters for zigbee z wave etc ?

dark scarab
#

for things like NUT that I think run in docker? newb here too lol

proven grove
dark scarab
#

You can run HA without assistant / containters (add-ons) tho, no?

#

Not assistant

proven grove
#

Basically (for both of you lol) addons do run in containers, but within HA itself. They have some special "magic" that enables them to communicate via the HA UI.

proven grove
dark scarab
#

Supervisor is the word I was reaching for

proven grove
#

We don't talk about Supervised here. 😉 It is the most difficult of the installation methods and the hardest to support.

dark scarab
#

LOL, I only know of it because I'm running RaspberryPi HAOS and had the dreaded "system not healthy thing" and while researching found the snipit that you can't run add-ons on Pi HAOS without Supervisor (whatever that is).

proven grove
#

(Not supervisor, that's different. Sorry for any confustion).

dark scarab
#

Thank goodness the full backup and recovery worked 100%. 5 stars, will implement again.

proven grove
dark scarab
#

So afaik -> HAOS -> Superviser -> {docker} -> Add-on's

#

again, very newb lol

proven grove
#

Yup. That's it basically.

raven sail
#

I’m still confused 🫤

proven grove
#

lol ask questions and I'll try to resolve your confusion.

#

(Wow... that sounded way too AI-ish)

dark scarab
#

an add-on is a separate program that HA can run in a "VM" like thingy along side the HA program itself.

#

Like runing OBS to capture a game stream, kinda (but not really)

raven sail
#

I just wanted to play around with HA for automations from smart home stuff

proven grove
dark scarab
#

Add-ons are apps that give you extra functionality

proven grove
proven grove
dark scarab
#

Zigbee / Zwave goes in devices, like Roomba or Roku etc...

proven grove
dark scarab
#

I used the newb auto detect so they are devices for me

proven grove
#

You don't HAVE to, but you can. I run those as separate docker containers on another machine.

#

But some people prefer to have everything in a single UI/single instance.

dark scarab
#

my only add-ons are Duck DNS / Glances / NUT / Node-RED / SSH

dark scarab
#

I'm stuck on getting my NAS to com to my NUT.

#

Anywhere else I'd be banned for saying that lol

proven grove
#

I saw the question, but I can't help with that 😦 My APS is connected to my NAS, but separated from HA.

dark scarab
#

I saw a comment about a wireshark alike for sniffing packets in HA?

#

Otherwise I'll have to mirror a port and see if there is anything obvious

#

The NUT guys don't have discord, just IRC and listserv lol! Any excuse to update my nicserv ID I guess...

#

And I guess I posted in wrong chan, that should have gone in add-ons I guess. I'll cross post. Better to ask for forgiveness later as they say.

hi y'all, I have migrated my long-time docker homeassistant installation to a new rapsberry pi, I have a backup of the whole /config including .storage, but when I start the docker image on the new pi with the same config folder mounted (same compose file), I'm greeted with onboarding screen. I have went through the onboarding and I can see all my devices are still there as well as my dashboards and also users, but I can't seem to log in using the old logins. how can I properly restore this docker setup?

#

from the container I've tried running hass --script auth --config /config list and it lists just the one user I've created during the onboarding, but when I navigate to People, I see all the previous users listed

Please share your compose file and perhaps the output of running something like find /pathtoconfig/ ! -path '*www*' ! -path '*custom_components*' ! -path '*blueprints*'.

ok so I figured it out, turns out not all the files from /config/.storage got copied, namely auth and core.config and some others were missing among the files I've moved over, turns out they weren't copied due to permissions, so I've readded them and it's back up and running. phew. learnt something new about backups.

Hi all. I have been running HAOS inside a VM on proxmox for 2 years now. As I am reluctant to use sqlite for huge/critical DB, i created a VM with postgres one week later. It has been "rock solid"!!!. And in case i have a "glitch" with a new version, i can rollback the VM running HA without impacting the DB. Great!!! I am now realizing that i would like to tweek some stuffs here and there ( swapfile, memory, cron, ...). I guess the best choice is to migrate to "supervised" installation. Any recommendations ? Can I use the backup/restore of HA ? will it keep all my device id, add-ons, configurations ? thx.

Home Assistant Supervised is considered advanced and should only be used if you are an expert in managing a Linux operating system, Docker and networking. Maintaining a Debian installation to a very specific set of requirements is hard.
Insecure installations and Unsupported configurations will result if you dont know what you are doing.
You MAY regret using this method.

raven forge
#

If you want an appliance use HAOS, if you want control use the docker installation method.
Why do you feel you need to tweak things? Why do you want to change swap? What do you mean with tweaking memory? What do you want to run via cron?

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

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

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.

i ytierd running a ssh pi@192.168.2.2

i manually configured the ipv4 btw

raven forge
#

Oh. So Iphone > Laptop > Ethernet > Pi > HA. So your HA relies on WiFi, mobile data, a laptop and WiFi to ethernet bridging 😬
There's so much that can go wrong, so many variables, so many dependencies and the complexity is quite high and the reliability low. What if you leave the home, have to update the laptop or want to take it somewhere else?

river ether
#

just wait till you hear about the $10 router that i will connect the pi to once im done onboarding

with no internet access btw

If you only have mobile data I'd recommend a LTE/4G/5G router with ethernet and a switch.

turns out there was no ssh file on the sd in the first place

so i did a quick sudo touch ssh somehting

Pretty sure HAOS has no sudo either. Unless you mean you ran this on the laptop, of course which makes more sense now that I think about it.

Unfortunately your setup is wildly unfamiliar to me. I don't own any apple products either. Do you only have mobile data? No "real" internet?

MY_TIME_ZONE and PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG are place holders.
HA uses host networking instead of port mappings so using -p would be wrong.

fierce umbra

first time I hear about making containers use the host's networking in my life. The issue is somehow the networking config in the host, the 172...1 ip is normally a router/gateway, not a normal dhcp given ip address. Can you give more details about the host?

OK people, I need a solution for my setup as I'm rethinking the structure

I have a mini pc (elitedesk 800 g2) running proxmox, within that I have 2 vms.

  • windows running torrent and htpc (storing attached usb drives)
  • hassos

Now I'm incorporating a Frigate setup and would like to install it completely off hassos, an independent installation.

So I'm thinking to install it in a docker on proxmox. Problem is, the USB drives that are attached to windows would also need to be attached to the frigate docker which isn't possible. Any ideas?

On the other hand, I was thinking of completely redoing the setup...

Put Ubuntu on the mini pc (no proxmox). Then running everything I need on seperate docker containers - windows, hassos, and frigate within that Ubuntu host

Possible? What are your thoughts?

As I understand it, HAOS runs HA and add-ons as docker containers internally. I definitely could be wrong about that though--haven't read much into that section of the docs. It's also a bit odd that it's trying to pull images if it's not implemented in that way.

If so, you can use docker exec from inside the qemu guest to run the necessary commands to install/start sshd/dropbear and add your public key.

humble mirage
#

Well, yes, but no, and that's terrible advice

#

Spinning up containers with the docker command can, and will, break stuff

atomic umbra
#

docker exec runs commands on existing containers, by the way

There's no need, or point, in installing sshd inside a container

#

Will HAOS ever have a simple offline iso installer?

humble mirage
#

Check that IPv6 works too, odd problems can sometimes be down to broken IPv6

#

The image is the install, why would you need an installer?

#

Then it has to download the containers, and those then have to download their dependencies

#

There's no way to do this 100% offline

#

Not without shipping outdated installs

vast sapphire
#

Why not do that?

#

So it can at least get up and running, update later

proven grove
#

Because at the pace that HA is growing, that could lead to tons of issues. People being stuck at some old version, etc and not matching current docs and such.

#

HA is meant to be a private smart home controller, not nessecarily an offline smart home controller.

humble mirage
#

There's an update every couple of weeks, if not more

vast sapphire
#

Yeah its just frustrating being stuck on the "no" version

proven grove
#

What do you mean the "no" version?

vast sapphire
#

As in its currently not possible for me to install

proven grove
#

Ah, but that's really outside of HA's control. I mean, if github sucks (and then often do in this area), there's really nothing that can be done about that. TBF, every smart home platform runs into this same thing. When you plug in a Smartthings hub for instance, first thing it does is reach out to the net to get stuff. If smartthings is having problems with their platform (which they often do), it's the same problem.

#

I think we made a lap here, that's why I was wishing for the ability to have an 'offline' install, because currently it can become uninstallable outside your control

#

If unraid supports Docker you could try a pure Docker install, and see if that works

I had a docker install already, just deleted it to move to VM version because passing USB devices was being a pain, and is much easier with VMs on unraid. Also figured might as well do it to have the addons as well

Hey all! I was told to post here. I'm running the official VM image on a debian bookworm host with qemu-kvm / libvert. It has been running fine for a year with the exception of it clinging to a very old DHCP lease (for months!) and not renewing it. It finally dropped the lease today, and now the interface down; in auto config, but no lease - all the octet fields are blank. I'm baffled because everything else had been working fine (accessing it from a .local address, esphome which uses mdns), everything works on the host, including ~2 dozen docker containers.

Previously trying to troubleshoot this I'd toggled the interface between manual config and DHCP both in the web UI and via CLI using ha network.

Where can I find logs relevant to the dhcp client, and what other troubleshooting steps do people suggest? Google hasn't helped much

dense gate
#

Additional note: ran nmcli to edit the Supervisor entry, did save and activate, printed something about waiting for DHCP, finished in barely a second or two...interface still wasn't configured

#

Set a manual IP address and still no network access - except I'm able to access the web UI. But updates fail, esphome isn't working, weather and smartplug stuff is also broken, etc.

#

DNS works fine on my network. It's not host connectivity (as I said in my first message, the host and 20 containers on it work fine) and it's not my network. I don't see an iptables rules that would be causing this. And no, I can't ping my DNS server - which is also my router - from the HA container. But that's the whole problem - homeassistant can't make any outgoing connections.

I can see the interface is configured correctly and there's a (correct) default route...still nothing. I can get into the web ui, nothing else.

You use a static ip. The connectivity problem is thus not really related to DHCP, no? Do other VMs work fine?
The logs can be checked via journalctl: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_networking/introduction-to-networkmanager-debugging_configuring-and-managing-networking#debugging-levels-and-domains_introduction-to-networkmanager-debugging

# empty bloom doesn't matter, you need to get to the CLI

I'm able to access the console of the VM just fine, because it's a VM...I can access the HA docker container because I have the web UI terminal add-on installed. And in both my first message (linked to a few comments above) and in a follow up I mention using the CLI.

Back, was checking some stuff, referencing this against HA KVM setup guides etc.

here's the VM's network interface config.
<interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:ef:c6:ff'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface>

raven forge
#

Bridge is fine. I think it uses some weird NATing by default.

dense gate
#

yeah, and this was all working fine for a year-ish, with the exception of DHCP never working beyond the first lease pull.

raven forge
#

Do other VMs work fine? What does ip a ln the host say?

dense gate
#

journalctl shows:
homeassistant NetworkManager[322]: <info> dhcp4 (enp1s2): activation: beginning transaction (timeout in 45 seconds)
homeassistant NetworkManager[322]: <info> dhcp4 (enp1s2): canceled DHCP transaction
homeassistant NetworkManager[322]: <info> dhcp4 (enp1s2): activation: beginning transaction (timeout in 45 seconds)
homeassistant NetworkManager[322]: <info> dhcp4 (enp1s2): state changed no lease

(removed timestamps for readability)

It's the only VM. 20 docker containers work fine. host has one bridge; physical interface is in the bridge, bridge has a static IP on the local network.

#

oh, correction: docker has its own bridge, sorry

raven forge
#

I always use dhclient -v or tcpdump to debug DHCP but that doesn't work on HAOS. You can technically install and run tcpdump in the SSH addon but you need internet for that.
I'd either increase verbosity of NetworkManager if possible or clone the VM and use another OS to test. I'm not convinced it's a HAOS issue at this point.
Or even just make a snapshot and install debian over the current VM without modifications.
I'd still like to see ip a of the host.

So in February 2021 a Home Assistant forum moderator said that recorder was a bad choice for recording long term data because it corrupts easily and eventually takes up a huge amount of space.

They then recommended influxdb instead.

Is this no longer the case?

proven grove

#

I mean I don't think I need more than a year of data, but the more stable & less file size the database is (and ease of recall obviously) then the more chance of longer data retention.

#

lmao you're good... I'm not Tinkerer 😉

subtle sun
#

So if you're using say Prometheus, how does that tie in with the "Show More" buttons showing you the regular sort of history from Home Assistant's recorder?

#

Presumably you have to just use Prometheus to browse that data?

raven forge
#

Prometheus' database is not good for storing long term data either. I assume you meant Influx? The recorder does not tie in with it. It runs in parallel. I believe the docs mention that as well.

proven grove
#

Prometheus is ok for long term storage, but not nearly as efficient as InfluxDB is.

proven grove
subtle sun
#

So basically, unless you use the native recorder you have to poll another database to get historical data

proven grove
#

Well, you use both. Recorder for recent history and then InfluxDB for longer or more specialized readings.

raven forge
proven grove
subtle sun
raven forge
#

Note that the long term statistics are a thing so even if you use a retention of 10 days you might still have history: #general-archived message

#

In my opinion the HA graphs and tools are not really good to inspect long term data though. Especially not granular data.
With Influx and grafana you can do proper calculations and dynamic dashboards so your data can actually be used for something useful.

proven grove
#

Sure. That's possible. But, you run the risk of corruption and a huge DB and performance impacts to HA. It really depends on what you want to actually do with the data. The question I typically ask users if why they need to know what the temperature was on a sensor back in 2022.

raven forge

I have a dashboard for my contact sensors. I can choose a time range and it tells me the times it was triggered in total, average per minute/hour and so on. Is it useful? Probably not. But that's the kind of flexibility you have.

I updated Supervisor from 06.0 to 06.2 and now HA can't start.

yep currenly for testing I have three WiFi Adapters on it,

Two identical ones 006 and 012 and another one of another brand 009.

I see all in the HA Settings but ontly two show up as NIC in the Settings-->Network

raven forge
#

So what did ha host logs -vf say when you re-plugged 009?

placid sage
raven forge
#

I should mention that the aarch64 has to be changed to what your device uses.

#

docker ps -a should show the arches for the other (or existing supervisor) container(s). Or just uname -m.

Well...I should mention what HW I'm using, which is Pi4...And I hope I didn't broke anything more than it already was. 😄

raven forge
#

Then that should be okay.

#

Does it work now after a reboot?

placid sage
#

I didn't do any reboot on my own. It simply restarted processes from what I've manage to get from journal. I can try to do the full system reboot, if that's what your advise is.

raven forge
#

If everything works fine right now I'd run a ha supervisor repair, reboot and see if everything is fine.
If you don't have backups take some. I guess you can also just leave it as is.

solid garden

so I did the following:

  1. Attached two DIFFERENT WiFi Sticks
  2. Fresh boot of HA --> everything works as expected
  3. ha host logs -vf
  4. Attached the third stick which is identical Hardware as one of the first two

WOW NOW it works!

You aware aware that HAOS is a OS and does not support running random docker containers? For virtualizing I recommend Proxmox VE which is debian based.
I recommend debian as OS for your VM running docker as well.

So ive been running an overly powerful mini pc with Windows for a few years now and its only really used for HAOS running in a VM on it. It's nice because im highly fluent with the Windows OS and performing full Image backups, individual VM backups, snapshots before monthly updates etc. My plan has always been if any HA related HA upgrade goes wrong, a simple snapshot restoration immediately resolves. If a full host hardware situation happens i can offload the full VM backup to a temporary second machine with VMWare workstation and literally boot up my HAOS VM instance again. And even in a full host hardware failire i can universally restore the entire hosts Windows OS image to totally different hardware to be fully up and running.

At some point i want to proceed with a proxmox high availability concept with a 3 node HA system but i have work to do there and stuff to replan out. I was playing with the idea of taking Windows out of the equation and installing the HAOS directly on the mini pc hardware. Is it safe to say if i perform a fresh installation of HAOS on said mini pc directly, i can simply take a full HAOS backup that i would of took before hand and restore that directly and everything would mesh like it exactly was when HAOS was running in my VM?

proven grove

(Sorry, that was a bit succint, but yeah, you can restore a full backup to a new instance and it'll restore everything).

Hello, i've a small question :
I just lost all my backup from a old HA installation (HAOS 5 i think).
I will begin a fresh new installation, is it easy to link again all my sensor already placed in my house ? It's zigbee aqara sensor.
I use a raspberry 3b+ and conbee usb

dreamy berry
#

You mean because the device associations are present on your coordinator, but you no longer have the entities in HA directly?

lime shell
proven grove
lime shell
#

for the other temp sensor they are not fixed so it's easy

#

in my memory it was needed to put the sensor close to the conbee to pair it

dreamy berry
#

What do people do in regards to coordinator backups? Like i believe either the Zigbee or ZWave addon i know you can do "radio" backups, but one of them i didnt see a backup function, just forget which. And im assuming the file backup\restore concept is exactly that easy. So if your coordinator burns up, dies, whatever and you get a new one, you clone it over and the devices know no different. But if thats not the case, then what is the process of basically getting all your devices synced again in this disasterous scenario? Is that all a brand new\start fresh effort with all your devices?

dreamy berry
#

So maybe depends on your signal saturation?

i will test now, just finished the fresh install

I tried setting up https using lets encrpyt and it seems to work, but after about a month now I am having the issue that on my PC I can only acsess it using its IP (not homeassistant.local) and I cannot seem to acess it from other devices on my network

#

I am also getting this error in the network tab Invalid local network URL You have configured an HTTPS certificate in Home Assistant. This means that your internal URL needs to be set to a domain covered by the certficate. I have tried restarting and had a quick google to try and figure out what is wrong but I can't seem to get it

#

I have a suspicion that it is to do with some mistake that I made setting up the HTTPS but I honsetly have no clue

humble mirage
#

So... you have to use https:// all the time now

#

If you don't use the hostname in the cert then you'll get errors, and many things will refuse to connect

#

Have you:

  1. Done what the error above told you to do?
  2. Tried connecting only using the hostname in the cert?
real escarp
#

Okay, I think I am beginning to understand. I initally did all this so that I could use homeassistant with google assistant but I don't know if it is worth the hassle

#
  1. I don't think I completely understand what it is saying. If I update the interal URLs to be within the domain of the domain in the cert does that mean that I would no longer have a true interal url as all traffic would be going through the external domain?
humble mirage
#
  1. Sort of, but it's just going to your router and back
  2. Because you have to use https://
#

https://homeassistant.example.com

#

Assuming you forwarded 443 on the router to 8123 on HA

#

If you want internal access without https:// then you need to use a reverse proxy (eg the NPM add-on, or Traefik if you use Docker) to handle SSL and remote access

real escarp
#

This isn't really an issue now that that is sorted but it still puzzles me why I am able to access it using it's IP directly but only from my PC and from no other devices

A couple of days ago I posted about problems with the haos qemu container that had been running OK for ~1y, with the exception of the DHCP client not working. In the process of setting up a new VM to restore a backup into, I came across the community instructions again, and there was this little note under the "disable firewalling on the bridge" section:

NOTE There is another alternative suggested by @brady in this post where you instead tell Docker that the bridge exists.

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/install-home-assistant-os-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-headless-cli-only/254941/89

...and that fixed my networking problem. I think the setup had been partially working because I had some iptables overrides in a sysctl file, but for some odd reason they didn't match the ones I see suggested in the above thread. I didn't realize what was going on becaus apparently I can't read an iptables output - it looked OK. Time to refresh that memory, I guess.

Why this broke days after a docker update, I'm not certain. System wasn't rebooted or anything else obvious.

So for future reference, if someone says their QEMU guest has no network access and they mention they're using docker, it's likely something happened to whatever was set up around stopping docker from firewalling their bridge.

Ok, this is going to be a bit confusing to explain for me given im new to everything networking and home assistant so bear with me here. I have two separate locations i want to monitor with home assistant, one is my home and the other is a hangar. there arnt many devices at the hangar, mainly light switches, motion sensors, cameras, and ac/heating. i use ubiquitis unifi system and both locations have ubiquiti routers and they are connected using a thing called site magic. which apparently makes them like share a network, paking devices accessable from one location to another. should i enable this feature and not add another home assistant instance for the other network or should i just let the devices be visible to my current home assistant instance. i already am adding a server at the hangar anyways because i want multile location backups for my nas. thoughts?

So on a direct baremetal installation of HAOS, how does one recover if a HAOS updates goes wrong? With a Core update, you can use the backup\restore. But if you did a full HAOS update and the system cant fully boot back up. Whats the recovery\rollback look like?

VM is best, obvs. But no, there’s no faster process.

Ok. I basically been running an overpowered full pc with Windows, running VMWare and my HAOS VM for aobut 2 years. THat PCs starting to give me issues. I loved the flexibility of SNapshots\vm backups everytime i would update anything to do with HA. Been jumpin around with what to try next. I ended up getting one of those N100 minipc's to use as a dedicated HA box. Was going to go bare metal HAOS install on it, letting it be its own dedicated HA system. But then i was thinking how id be losing out on my whole easy backup\snapshot strategy and stuff like i had with VMware Workstation. So now im thinking Proxmox on the minipc and HAOS as a VM on that to gain that snapshot\backup\restore resilency back...but then im back to basically doing what i was before lol

I would LOVE to install HAOS bare metal right on the minipc and let that be all it does. It runs 24\7 never gives any problems. Doing periodic HA Core updates and creating backups and being able to restore them as a failsafe isnt my concern. Its when a HAOS update happens like this latest 12.4, and then your minipc fails to boot in a catastrophic way...now you cant even get to the HA instance to do anything. Youd find yourself with much longer downtime needing to restore a whole HAOS disk image from a linix live boot scenario, etc etc.

proven grove
#

I mean, I don’t run HAOS, so I don’t use backups at all, if I did, it would be using a VM.

You dont need samba, even an attached drive would do. I think they nailed it with the back ups.

timber lagoon

Yeah, but I don’t want attached drives that can fail. I have a NAS server with RAID plus offsite backup. Yes, all of that can be done in HAOS, but that’s a single point of failure that I wouldn’t want.

In the mean time, my next topic for the day. PRobably better in ZigBee or Hardware perhaps. But maybe you fine gents would know regardless. I know theres interference problems with USB3.0 ports\devices when it comes to ZigBee communication. I know the easy answer is use USB2.0 ports for your coordinator. Along with use a USB extension cable if you need to use a USB3.0 port. Does USB3.1 or 3.2 ports share the same problem? Or did they change the encoding\RF stuff there after it was acknowledged with USB3.0?

# raven forge I'm not sure if going through a USB 2 HUB helps anything. It's not like it would...

Not based on these comments.

Issue: USB 3.0 ports/computers/peripherals are known culprits of RFI/EMI/EMF disruption. (See Ref. 1 23 and 2 9)

Action: Make sure to only connect the Zigbee USB adapter to a USB 2.0 port (and not to a USB 3.x port)

Tips:

If your computer only has a USB 3.x port then buy and connect the adapter via a powered USB 2.0 hub
Using via USB 2.0 hub will in practice convert USB 3.0 to a USB 2.0 port and thus avoid USB 3.0 EMF
A USB 2.0 hub that uses an external power supply will ensure power requirements are fulfilled

Yes, there’s Core (difficult), Container (easier) and Supervised (extremely difficult).

While installing home assistant using the ubunto flash drive i reached home assistant CLI to be ready

CLI not starting jump into emergency console

#

Nevermind it just worked

#

Now i got to a page with some links my phone is searching for it for a while now but couldn't find it. Also i tried the provided links and didn't work

little swift
#

because of some unaxplained files in my /config directory (apparently remnants from times gone by, I also notice this strange difference on my .db file (SQLite default)

#

this is finder, and the seecond is in VScode

#

so, the VScode does not see any of the regular db files, but has a corrupt db, which I dont have in finder.... what the heck is happening here?

humble mirage
#

If you search you'll see that discussed for VSCode

little swift
#

great, thanks!

#

and about the corrupt db? any reason I can not see that in regular finder (it isnt hidden after all with the .

humble mirage
#

Don't know how Finder works, but maybe the Samba add-on hides files too?

little swift
#

hmm, I can see all storage files etc, but yes, there were odd single files I couldnt see in the finder app either, so it's a bit of a guess , but Ill check Samba settings. anyways, should be safe to delete the corrupt db shouldnt it.....

humble mirage
#

It may be hidden in the code shrug

Hi.
I recently installed home assistant in docker on my ubuntu server.
I then started costumizing it but have reached the conclusion that every time my server goes down, home assistant is completely reset and i have to create a home and costumize it again.
Any idea why this is happening?
is it supposed to happen (do i have to save it manually) ?
Thanks in advance

Did you forget to mount the persistant HA config directory to the HA container?

docker run -d
--name homeassistant
--privileged
--restart=unless-stopped
-e TZ=MY_TIME_ZONE
-v /PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG:/config
-v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro
--network=host
ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
The part -v /PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG:/config \ , which has to be adjusted to your setup

#

A Docker Compose file would be similar

#

Both are not simply copy&paste from the website

balmy otter
#

yeahhh i dont really know about docker or docker compose

#

i will research more about this

balmy otter
humble mirage
#

docker inspect is your friend, well, compose files are your real friend

# 
docker inspect -f '{{ .Mounts }}' homeassistant
#

I'd bet on you having messed up the mount/volume

hi there... use HA Container... it worked flawless for months, now I updated something

#

and HA doesn't boot anymore

#

HA starts in recovery mode with this error:

#

2024-07-01 17:53:19.137 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.forwarded] Received X-Forwarded-For header from an untrusted proxy 172.20.0.5

#

I have this in my configuration.yaml

# Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.

    - 192.168.0.0/16

it always worked well before...
I tried adding 172.0.0.0/24 but it doesn't work neither... 😦

brazen basin
#

tried 0.0.0.0/0 but it doesn't work...
I use HA since years and I destroyed it can't access anymore... any idea?

brazen basin
#

it was a fucking yaml...

#

damn yaml

What the heck am I doing wrong? This worked for about 4 months until decided to redeploy HA, using the same version, 2024.3. HA behind Traefik.

Images of text ... nauseated

#

However, check why your system is unhealthy

warped nimbus
humble mirage
#

Also check that you're not out of disk space

#

Text ... easy to read for everybody

#

Images ... maybe not easy

warped nimbus
#

ok

#

wait a second

#

i have already 0.5gb of space

humble mirage
#

However, check why your system is unhealthy

warped nimbus
#

how?

humble mirage
#

Should be somewhere in the system health page?

System info

Open your Home Assistant instance and show information about your system

humble mirage
#

Maybe there? I don't use HAOS myself

warped nimbus
#

i check

humble mirage
#

(and hopefully that's HAOS and not Supervised)

warped nimbus
#

unhealthy

#

do you know how to fix it?

humble mirage
#

Click it, it'll tell you why

warped nimbus
#

no

#

i cant click it

humble mirage

Somewhere it tells you why

HAOS or Supervised?

(and yes, click those links too)

warped nimbus
#

oh wait, i was cheching the official ha post of this post, and it says to update it manually

#

i cant update it manually because if i try to download the terminal ewxtension it says: Impossible to install the extension: AddonManager.install' blocked from execution, system is not healthy - supervisor

@warped nimbus 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 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.

humble mirage
#

Also... have a bit of patience dude... You're not paying me for dedicated support

warped nimbus
#

ok excuse me

humble mirage
#

So, try ha supervisor repair

warped nimbus
#

where

humble mirage
#

SSH or on the console (keyboard + monitor)

warped nimbus
#

and how can i use the console

humble mirage
#

keyboard + monitor

warped nimbus
#

in what sense

humble mirage
#

You plug a keyboard and a monitor into the computer running HAOS

warped nimbus
#

no

#

i cant

humble mirage
#

Why?

warped nimbus
#

it doesent have a hdmi or display port

humble mirage
#

What is it?

warped nimbus
#

dusun dsgw-210

humble mirage
#

And it runs HAOS?

warped nimbus
#

yes i bought the version with haos preinstalled

humble mirage
#

Time to do a fresh install and restore a backup

warped nimbus
#

i did it

#

i did it before contacting you

#

i try this

warped nimbus
# humble mirage Time to do a fresh install and restore a backup

now i am trying to do the command with "putty", a ssh im my pc with the ip of the haos, and it gives me this: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at uni x:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/container s/hassio_cli/json": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

humble mirage
#

You can't run Docker commands on the standard SSH add-on

#

What are you trying to do?

warped nimbus
warped nimbus
humble mirage
#

And a fresh install of HAOS is already unhealthy?

warped nimbus
#

yes

humble mirage
#

Try an older HAOS version? 12.4 has had issues on some hardware

warped nimbus
#

how can i check my version of haos

#

supervisor version: Supervisor 2023.01.1
Home assistant: Home Assistant 2023.2.3

#

thats it

humble mirage
#

What does it say for the OS?

warped nimbus
#

where is?

humble scaffoldBOT
#
System info

Open your Home Assistant instance and show information about your system

humble mirage
#

That also shows the Installation type

warped nimbus
#

Home Assistant Supervised

humble mirage
#

FFS

#

Well... that's the worst method

warped nimbus
#

what?

humble mirage
#

Supervised

#

It's a clusterfuck

#

A trainwreck of epic proportions

warped nimbus
#

so what can i fix it?

humble mirage
#

The best fix is to not use Supervised

warped nimbus
#

i have docker CE 20.10.12, and i need 20.10.17, i read it in the github you sent me

humble mirage
#

Great, so update

#

If you don't know how then this is not a method you should be using

warped nimbus
#

i installed homeassistant with an official link

humble mirage
#

The Supervised method has been recommended against for years

warped nimbus
#

i dont used it i think

humble mirage
#

You do use that

#

Home Assistant Supervised

warped nimbus
#

ok

#

i try

#

i need to update the core and the supervisor

humble mirage
#

First fix the OS

warped nimbus
#

how

humble mirage
#

i have docker CE 20.10.12, and i need 20.10.17, i read it in the github you sent me

warped nimbus
#

how can i update the docker

humble mirage
#

Upgrade Docker

#

apt update && apt upgrade

warped nimbus
#

where i need to paste it?

humble mirage
#

I'll say this again:

If you don't know how then this is not a method you should be using

#

That has to be done on the console/over SSH

warped nimbus
humble mirage
#

You'll need to be root/use sudo

warped nimbus
#

yes i know
