i added the http: in the configuration.yaml and added trusted proxies like the docker, and rpi

#

but for some reason nothing works

grand pivot
#

"nothing"

#

what?

#

what are you doing, what is happening?

#

that's your iPhone

halcyon whale
#

oh probably from my old installation, i ruined it yesterday and had to reinstall it

#

so is there a guide on how to configure nginx proxy manager to point to home-assistant in docker?

#

ive looked all over the web and it seems that the container installation has trouble connecting from domain?

grand pivot
#

did you change the HA port to 8124 on purpose?

halcyon whale
#

no i didnt change the port

grand pivot
#

that's what your NGINX config is pointing to

#

default is 8123

halcyon whale
#

yes

grand pivot
#

indeed

#

so..

halcyon whale
#

change it to 8123

#

still not working

#

mustve been a typo

#

and my nginx proxy manager says that my site is offline after adding the config

#

before adding the config it was online

#

i tried to point to the letsencrypt ssl from inside and outside the container also in the config didnt work

grand pivot
#

share your http: section

halcyon whale
#

okay

#

http:
ip_ban_enabled: false

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks. Here's an example

Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

For over 15 lines you must use a code share site such as https://www.codepile.net/ (pick YAML for the language) or https://paste.debian.net/ (pick YAML for the language).

grand pivot
#

that's a lot of proxies

halcyon whale
#

ye i was desperate in the end, at first i only had

-192.168.1.103
-172.19.0.0/24

grand pivot
#

you just need the one you actually use

halcyon whale
#

192.168.1.103 is my raspberry pi address

grand pivot
#

The HA log will tell you what it sees

halcyon whale
#

and somewhere i read that i need to add the docker

#

to tell HA that its trusted

grand pivot
#

only if your HA instance and NGINX container are using the same docker network

halcyon whale
#

they are

#

i install nginx and ha on docker

#

how do i know if theyre using the same network?

grand pivot
#

the easiest way to configure that section is to comment it out, try to access HA through NGINX, and then see what HA says in its log

#

it will tell you what IP it's getting the request from

halcyon whale
#

comment out the entire http? or proxies only?

grand pivot
#

Do you know if the name in the profile in the android app is the login to get into the graphical UI?

halcyon whale
#

when i try to log in from my subdomain from nginx it points me to the nginx welcome page

halcyon whale
#

Now it says that there are no issues lol

#

should i remove the custom nginx config also ?

grand pivot
#

if you're using NPM, you don't need to add any manual config

#

yes

halcyon whale
#

still no issues removed everything

grand pivot
#

simple as:

halcyon whale
#

yup i have that

#

just cleared my browser cash

#

This page isn’t working my.subdomain.com redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

grand pivot
#

then you're using the wrong address:

#

What to show when Nginx is hit with an unknown Host

halcyon whale
#

i put the correct address of the raspberry pi, it works for other instances i also had nextcloud installed

#

it worked fine, and even portainer and omv

#

i configured ssl also

grand pivot
#

whatever you've configured in NPM and whatever you're using in your browser seem to be incorrect

halcyon whale
#

is there a way to install it properly and correctly? a guide or something that can be helpful ?

grand pivot
#

there's not much to it

halcyon whale
#

i configured ha as host on docker

#

the other installations were configured as bridge

grand pivot
#

just specify the subdomain.domain.com in the NPM host config along with the SSL cert you plan to use and use the same name in the browser

halcyon whale
#

same name in the browser? what do you mean

grand pivot
halcyon whale
#

i tried that it didnt work

grand pivot
#

ok

halcyon whale
#

its an issue with npm point to locate the ha container

#

which i cnt quite figure out how to do

#

i think thats the issue

stone orchid
halcyon whale
#

what do you mean?

#

i addded 2 proxies for rpi and docker

#

i got this error

Hmm we're currently trying to set up HAOS on an i3-2100 but when we try to connect the SSD over SATA then it's not marked as an UEFI boot option. Has anyone ever tried that before?

https://paste.debian.net/1232435

My installation is stuck on preparing home assitant. I've made it into the has os dashboard once but couldn't add adons due to Server Got Itself In Trouble. So I reset it but can get to dashboard again.

#

I've worked on this for about 8 hours Over past 2 days. Setup is to the book per home-assitance pi 4 install runbook.

grand pivot
#

Can you fix that link?

fallen vortex
#

Link works for me. Anything specific I need to fix. Or did u just want it deleted?

Some DNS/network issue

fallen vortex
#

I set primary on router to 8.8.8.8
How can I check if home assistant picked up the config?
I get dns 172.30.32.3 when I use. ha > Net Info
ha> dns options --servers dns://8.8.8.8 (with dns restart, didn't change the docker dns under net info)

dark socket
#

anyone can helping me with a debian supervisor instalation?

#

ive got that error :S

low notch
#

:53 returned no ip for domain - it is dns

#

maybe your dns is down because it apparently refuses connection

dark socket
#

dunno

#

my other HA instalation is working fine

#

i already change dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

brazen herald
#

Did you try 1.1.1.1 ?

dark socket
#

dont think thats a probleme =/

low notch
#

why do you use supervised? this is only for experts and does not give you advantages over haOS in any way because they both require you to follow the rules to have a supported install

dark socket
#

lol because i use the adons in hacs

#

and supervisor

#

I already have a machine with supervisor and debian

#

but now, the instalation script gave me that error

#

add

#

and with runs 😄

grand pivot
#

Who needs DNS?

low notch
#

you have addons and hacs in haos

dark socket
#

intel comput stick

grand pivot
#

Giant /etc/hosts FTW

dark socket
#

dont klnow if suports haos

low notch
#

ok that could be a reason but everything not supported by haos does not justify using supervised

dark socket
#

oO

#

i dont understand that

#

I have another comput stick older...with supervisor and hacs

low notch
#

if you want a customized install you usually go with containerized ha installation

dark socket
#

and I use alot the thinks on that

#

I just need to keep debian updated

low notch
#

you need a working dns 😄

dark socket
#

no

#

I dont know what happens with that new one

low notch
#

supervised will not help you find that out

dark socket
#

no debian will

low notch
#

so does #container and #core with debian

dark socket
#

my supervisor is in a dock cointainer

#

😂

lament estuary
#

just kinda curious, why go with supervised install? seems like its a bunch of work for not much result since from what i've read, you're not allowed to run anything on the os other than ha related stuff anyways

#

i've read an article or 2 saying that supervised was actually the best (?) so was wondering about that

grand pivot
#

There's no reason to use Supervised

#

Ignore whatever you were reading that said that

lament estuary
#

ah alright

#

thanks

Seems like your internal_url is set incorrectly

When using Discord's Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, which can get frustrating for the target. Use Shift + click on the Reply option, or click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).

grand pivot
#

Well, that's an invalid URL

#

What URL did you use? And you need to restart your server

#

Ok

#

Only the ones I gave you

#

I'm not sure how you're doing this on a Mac mini either

#

Good luck with that

Well now you're likely muted AND running HA inside out

Good morning, all
I am new to HA and have a setup with an odroid n2+ and latest HA software release. Facing connection issues with an conbee 2 that is connected to the odroid n2.

Now to my question: I have a zigbee aquara sensor link https://www.aqara.com/us/temperature_humidity_sensor.html and facing the issue that HA loses the connection after a few hours. Pairing works flawless and after pairing is completed data is flowing into HA but then after a few hours the sensor is unavailable (battery is fine with over 80%).

See the #zigbee-archived channel - there's a pin there that explains how Zigbee works

There's also pinned messages explaining how to improve the signal, and that includes using a USB extension cable, and not using USB 3.0 ports

#

hi everyone, i am super new to HomeAssistant, and, reading in Github and others websites, i saw that there are multiple ways to setup HomeAssistant. Because of my background i've setup the docker installation of the HomeAssistant (without the Supervisor), while in the blog and youtube videos, i see that mostly the people use the supervisor to install addons/plugins. Is there any advice for that? For the MQTT server, i've setup Mosquitto manually and is working, but for others (like file editor) i dunno how to setup it manually. Is there any best practice around this?

humble mirage
#

Indeed, all add-ons are is software running in Docker with some added sprinkles for the Supervisor

native ravine
#

@humble mirage thanks a lot! I Use for editing file the VSCode remote setup but it doesn't have the validation of the include afaik

humble mirage
#

Yeah, but you can add that

#

I'm sure there's more

native ravine
#

@humble mirage afaik, is there a "a design pattern" in terms of structuring the config directory?

abstract hearthBOT
#

@native ravine Discord isn't like IRC, you don't have to tag people on every response. Keep in mind that every time you tag somebody, they get a notification ping. That can very quickly become annoying and people may block you.

When using Discord's new Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).

humble mirage
#

I have no idea what you mean, but ... probably not

#

There are standards people use, but there's no one true way

native ravine
#

yes I was intended exactly that, if there was a "standard"

humble mirage
#

Depends on whether you use packages, or whether you split your config up

#

For splitting mostly people name folders after the integration, but after that there's no single way

native ravine
#

really thanks a lot for your help

#

super appreciated

merry karma
#

How do I add a drive to a running HAssOS instance

merry karma
#

thanks

humble mirage
#

You can't just add a second disk though, it doesn't work like that

merry karma
#

I see

#

so tell me how to add space

#

my microSD is filling all the time

lament estuary
#

what are you filling up the sd card with? media?

humble mirage
#

Well, the instructions above move all the data to the HDD

merry karma
#

"cant sync after initial wipe"

humble mirage
#

That should solve your problem, but it wouldn't allow you to move some things to the HDD - it's very much all or nothing

merry karma
#

media from motioneye

lament estuary
#

you can mount another drive to the media folder

#

lemme find the forum post

merry karma
#

thanks

#

udev......the undiscovered country

#

where do udev rules go in haos? the standard locations dont exist

#

@lament estuary

lament estuary
#

you can use the Import from USB function to import a udev rule

#

also i think the locations exist but can only be accessed through host ssh

#

i think theres some piece of documentation which goes over how to import the udev rules

#

gimme asec

lament estuary
#

can't find the ha docs that goes over how jmport from usb works but that covers the part for udev anyways

merry karma
#

will it work with a fat32 fs holding the udev import @lament estuary

#

I have 10min to wait on files to move from /media b4 I remount so ....idle hands

lament estuary
merry karma
#

thank you

crude inlet
#

The drive needs to be labeled "CONFIG" with the directory udev/ on the root of the drive

merry karma
#

I got that, thanks for being sure

merry karma
#

ok that kindof worked

#

now it doesnt use the SD for anything, I just wanted /media on it

#

I do have more space though

lament estuary
native ravine
#

is there any guide to understand how to manually configure entities and other types in HA in the configuration files? i would like to avoid to use the ui (if possible) in order to organize them better. Is there any guide that explain which "objects" exist in HA (parameters etc..) and how to handle them?

humble mirage
#

Well, you don't configure entities, you configure integrations

#

Each integration documents whether it supports UI or YAML

native ravine
#

yes, right the entity comes after the integration has been configured, right?

humble mirage
#

And the integration creates them

native ravine
#

so in a yaml file i will add integration manually and then the entities tied to that integration will be created

merry karma
#

@lament estuary I cant reply in thread, get upload error

#

from discord

#

but all is on sda

lament estuary
merry karma
#

not a bit

lament estuary
#

ah

native ravine
humble mirage
#

Yes

native ravine
#

🤔 and so those integrations are directly stored in the database?

merry karma
#

mount and df -a show nothing but sda

lament estuary
#

uhh

native ravine
#

@merry karma you can use fdisk -l

#

to show the devices not yet mounted

merry karma
#

ha os datadisk list shows nothing and neither does fdisk -l

native ravine
#

🤔 this usually means that the kernel space didn't detect the device neither

merry karma
#

well it is running, so it found something

native ravine
#

have you rebooted the OS after attaching it?

merry karma
#

after importing udev from usb I connected ext hdd and rebooted, long wait for everything to move

#

do I need to reboot again?

#

twice after import?

#

trying it now

native ravine
#

usually in linux the first evidence of the device is in fdisk

merry karma
#

fdisk -l still empty after reboot

native ravine
#

df neither i guess

merry karma
#

glances sees the SD

#

df -a only shows mounts on sda

flat finch
#

I'm sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question, but what bit version do I need to pick for home assistant?
I have a raspi 4, 4Gb. Yess I tried looking it up, but it's probably such a noob question that no one even asks it.. 😭

#

I plan on using it just to expiriment... Not planning anything big...

merry karma
#

I think I may have run datadisk move sda, would that have moved everything

#

and can I move it back?

shut rivet
#

You'd have the Home Assistant OS installation type version in that case. Which provides about everything our project has to offer

merry karma
#

yes, the haos img is very straight foward@flat finch

lament estuary
#

i think you can move it back on the same page, just choosing the mmcblk instead of sda iirc though you'll prob want to make sure since i haven't actually done it before

merry karma
#

@shut rivet has done and amazing job on the addons

#

@lament estuary but mmcblk is not seen by cli

lament estuary
#

does lsblk return anything?

flat finch
lament estuary
#

if you're using terminal&ssh you could try the commands in ssh&web terminal

merry karma
#

I have the standard and the updated terminal

#

and I allowed elevated access

#

lsblk :no command found

lament estuary
#

oh ok nvm i just tried it and both terminals return nothing on fdisk -l

merry karma
#

but glances DOES show mmcblk

humble mirage
#

Because that's a container running on the host

lament estuary
#

try going to settings -> supervisor -> system -> host -> 3 dots -> hardware and then search mmc

#

if there's a bunch of entries there then it's seen by host and you should be able to transfer

merry karma
#

I see them

lament estuary
#

thats good, try going to the 3 dots again but select move datadisk instead?

#

after that you should have the option to move to mmc

merry karma
#

however move datadisk returns: no drive available

lament estuary
#

oh

crude inlet
#

moving /data only works when the target drive is bigger than the source

#

there's no built in way of moving it back

merry karma
#

so I have lost 64GB of space?

crude inlet
#

define lost, I guess

merry karma
#

inaccessible

crude inlet
#

if you moved /data from the 64GB to a bigger USB external, then yes the 64GB SD is probably wasted

merry karma
#

cant even mount ?

crude inlet
#

IMO If you want a media server, build a media server.

humble mirage
#

HAOS doesn't make a great multi-purpose server

merry karma
#

I just have motioneye on it, I dont fill it with other stuff

humble mirage
#

HAOS makes a perfectly fine Home Automation server though

merry karma
#

I have the goal of grid-free smarthouse

humble mirage
#

Perfectly achievable

#

Trying to make a single HAOS host run everything though... that's maybe not so achievable

merry karma
#

but I have to erase months of adjustment after this

humble mirage
#

Why?

merry karma
#

or I have to live a wasted 64GB A2 msdc

lament estuary
#

would it be possible to create a full snapshot of the current installation, reinstall home assistant on the sd card, and then restore the snapshot onto the sd card? or can snapshots only be restored on drives with a same or larger size

merry karma
#

there should be a warning that the move datadisk is a one way operation

humble mirage
merry karma
#

sd was around 50% when moved

lament estuary
#

you should probably be fine then unless it gained a lot of data after the data disk transfer

merry karma
#

the sd is made of 8 partitions

#

hdd is only one

#

so the movedatadisk mould have to uncombime the FS's

crude inlet
lament estuary
merry karma
#

ok, I need to digest this before I make another misstep. thank you for your patience

lament estuary
#

yeah no worries

shell viper
#

Hello! Is it frowned upon to ask installation questions here, or is there a better channel?

humble mirage
#

This would be the channel

lament estuary
#

you can ask here

shell viper
#

Awesome...

TLDR:
I've used HA in the past, and even started writing customizations in (still a newb overall)... Ran into some issues where the unit (RPi3) would stop responding and freeze, so I stopped using it for about 6 months...

I can no longer connect to the Wyze skill in Alexa. I have tried troubleshooting with Wyze as other users are experiencing the same issue, but no response. At this point, I've disabled the Wyze skill, and intend to go back to using HA for the Alexa control, using HA to bridge the gap.

#

I wiped the card to start fresh, and have downloaded and flashed both the 32 and 64 bit versions...

#

Once I install the card, and plug it in... nothing happens. No green blinking light, just the red light

#

I suspect it's missing bootup routines

#

but I don't have a monitor easily accessible to plug it in and check

#

I'm sure it's not hardware related, as it started to boot up under my old configuration, before I wiped the card

#

I just wanted to check if I might be missing something in the installation on RPi3

#

I did follow the instructions on the HA site

#

including Etcher

crude inlet
#

@shell viper to confirm, this pi has the standard hdmi port and a micro usb connection for power?

shell viper
#

Affirm

#

Just flashed RPi3x64 with Etcher to a different card (32G) and trying again

#

oooooooo

#

yahtzee

#

I see green flashing

#

Okay, so I may have troubleshooted this in my mind... bare with me....

#

When I flashed with Etcher, I had downloaded the RPi4 version by mistake... When I downloaded the RPi3 version, the computer was too low on battery, so I flashed with Android on my phone, using an app that supposedly works specifically for flashing RPi installs.... apparently that didn't work. I followed the instructions on Windows using the same RPi3 install and now it seems to be working.

#

Now to see if it loads

#

HELL YES

#

thank you, sometimes it helps just to talk it out to someone... you can troubleshoot yourself

low notch
#

flashing anything with a low battery... thats life living on the edge

shell viper
#

I'll have you know, I'm so tough, I remove my USB without using the safely remove hardware button... so there

shell viper
#

What is the best way to connect Wyze to HA, currently? Is it still Josh Mulliken's API from github, or should I dip my toes into docker? I don't want to have to run anything but my RPi to have integration

#

I know his API had an issue with too many calls, and Wyze asked him to remove the sensors for now since they had constant calls and the relatively small number of users with HA accounted for like 60% of their traffic

Hey, just to make sure I do not miss something out... if I opt for ha-container, I believe I understood correct that I am supposed to install all the infrastructure around HA by myself (e.g. a MQTT broker), via my own docker system. Right? How do I integrate those into HA, which needs an integration (e.g. show some entry on the menu to link to them)

humble mirage
#

Yes

#

Adding them to the sidebar would be done with a panel iframe, or similar - those aren't integrations which are something completely different

slender hazel
#

just fyi i'm back to beta and now supervisor is 2022.2.0 and core 2022.3.0b4 without any problems..

ionic carbon
#

@humble mirage I understand that this is not the same kind of integration the add-ons give me like supervisor, config, etc. but I just wanted to make sure there are ways to make it into HA if it is needed if only for comfort

Hey all HA'ers!

I've got a dell pc running ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and am hoping to install HA Supervised or OS in a virtual machine.

you will save yourself a lot of headache when you research the installation methods a little more.

oh whoops @low notch I meant I'll try to do an OS install

i upgraded from 2022.2.9 (HAOS) to the latest beta, but found some frontend stuff i wasn't a fan of, so tried to restore the backup and have now screwed everything up

#

supervisor logs (cli) appear to have tried to restore but then just stopping the HA application

#

core logs end with TERM and KILL, and ha is definitely not running

#

i run in a proxmox VM, so rebooting that brings me to the standard onboarding page, and trying to restore the backup from there ends up the same

#

it just never really restores i guess

crude inlet
#

Don't restore a backup during onboarding. You can restore it after

clever sable
#

ok i'll try that now

#

why um... is that offered if it doesn't work? lol

#

whoa

#

so i just rebooted again and am back on 2022.3.0b4 🤔

#

i guess i'll try restoring that backup again 🤔

#

should i be seeing anything in the logs after HA is stopped?

#

because it seems like this restore is just taking... forever

#

or not working at all

#

maybe i'm just gonna be stuck on this beta lol

#

ohh now it's going i guess

hello! i am trying to run the HA OS on a khadas-vim3. I have written the .img to an SD card, but it wont boot off of it. I wasn't able to find any relevant documentation about the process. Anyone could explain to me how to make it work, or link me the documentation on it? Thanks

sudden iris
#

turns out, i wasn't reading the documentation careful enough. I had to first erase the internal eMMC storage to make it boot from SD-card. To rephrase my question then: is there a way to install HAOS to the internal eMMC? (using the USB_Burning_Tool it panics about the image's format, and cant write it)

somber rampart
#

Some time back I noticed that my HA VM started hanging on reboot, complaining about "wait until kernel time synchronised". Once it's booted it seems fine.
I also see that "network info" gives a docker: section that lists the 172.30 network and specifies a DNS on that network. I can ping the DNS (on .3) but it doesn't respond to nslookup. So curious why that would be setup like that and if it might be the cause of the delay?

Maybe i just paste this here: Hello. I've recently installed HA 7.4 on QEMU/KVM VM (basically i just added image as USB drive). And i'm experiencing network issues. Only e1000e card driver sort of "works" (with virtio there's no ethernet connection at all) but it constantly going up and down so connections with frontend stutters and breaks. I tested this on two separate hosts - one with Rocky Linux 8 and one with Fedora 35 (so i guess different qemu versions also). What can i do about it?

Hello. I recently updated my HASS OS setup running on an RPi4. Since this I am not able to connect to it anymore. It doesnt have an IP but the green light are flashing on the Ethernet plug. I looked it up online and find a few similar problems but nothing worked for me.

Can somebody help me out?
Otherwhise is it possible to create a backup just from the sd card?

brazen herald
#

If you ping the server, does it respond?

#

And did you do a backup before the update? If so, you'll have a better chance of getting the backup file off, though I'd recommend looking into an addon that automatically copies your backups somewhere for you

What kind of "stuff" is it missing?

All integrations, hacs, lovelace dashboard, users

Then it sounds like your restore didn't restore.

so it seems

#

it would be nice to see some kind of status bar on how much is restored and if it's successfully restored
now you see nothing

clever sable
#

I would appreciate even a "restore started" toast

#

also, didn't restoring used to give you a choice of which things to install? to do a partial restore?

sleek ruin
#

in my case it did give me a choice but nothing is happens. I tried several backups now and none of them seems to work

is there a way to check disk space outside the virtual machine?

crude inlet

@fickle patrolthat would be a function of your hypervisor which runs the VMs

but it should give you some info in regard to space and allocation

Just think of it as another machine on your network like any other

I'll do some googlefu and see what I can find out - I'm pretty new to the whole VM thing - was thinking I might set up a MQTT service to report the information I'd like to keep an eye on.

Hey. Is there a way to connect the hass os running on rpi with a monitor via hdmi?

shut rivet

It can access the console, but there is no UI or something

exotic linden

I am trying a fresh hass OS install.. I am getting this error in the supervisor logs
:"visor.resolution.checks.base] Run check for IssueType.TRUST/ContextType.CORE

#

Can't execute check_trust while a task is in progress

Help please

shut rivet
#

It is working on things, that error doesn't have to be blocking at this point @exotic linden

exotic linden
#

@shut rivet thanks for quick response., Then i am not sure why am i stuck in the "Prepearing Home Assistant" screen .. Supervisor logs are https://pastebin.com/WAP9UNmH

shut rivet
#

So

#

in the first minutes the system starts, it tries to figure out the timezone and time settings:

22-03-02 14:12:52 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.core] Can't adjust Time/Date settings: Can't fetch Whoami data: Cannot connect to host whoami.home-assistant.io:443 ssl:default [Try again]
#

Which already doesn't work, as it cannot connect to the outside world as it seems.

#

a bit later:

#
22-03-02 14:13:27 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.jobs] 'Updater.fetch_data' blocked from execution, no supervisor internet connection
#

So the issue at hand, seems to be that the device you are installing cannot reach/access the internet

exotic linden
#

The hass OS is installed and setup but i am not able to see the SUpervisor menu option. Any idea, what could i be doing wrong

shut rivet
#

That topic seems odd

#

DNS is provided by your network (DHCP)

#

if that is wrong, you should fix your network, not the device that is installing Home Assistant :S

exotic linden
#

I had it connected to the Router via ethernet but still it wasn't working.. But after following this article, it started working.

#

any idea on the Supervisor menu item ?

shut rivet
#

nope, sorry

shut rivet
#

not work around it

exotic linden
#

Ohh ohk Thats what you meant.. yeah i will try to fix it without the current workaround

viral marlin
#

ok so if i understand correctly.
Home assistant cannot be run on windows directly, you have to run it inside a virtual machine, its impossible to run as a 'normal' program ?

crude inlet
#

HA OS is an operating system targeted at specific boards. It is also available as an image to be run as a virtual machine. It isn't a program

viral marlin
#

ohhhhh, so home assistant is its own OS... oh i did not get that xD

low notch
#

there is a OS variant, but you‘re free to run any install method you like in linux.

crude inlet
#

The second part to this is that Home Assistant, by itself, is a server and doesn't require being run in this operating system, but it still won't work well with Windows

viral marlin
#

ok i have a strange (?) question, i have a tablet im not using but its almost new, cn i install homeassitant on that?

#

cause its android, i dont mind formatting the whole tablet but i dont know how, its not set as an option

#

(if its even a thing to begin with)

crude inlet
#

Even if you knew how, it would be a terrible experience

#

It would be a thing in terms of your own adventure and time, but it isn't a thing you'll find instructions for

#

You want ethernet for this, too

#

This is supposed to be a little server, wired in like servers should be, always on, never going to sleep. A tablet is not well suited for this

viral marlin
#

thats what i wanted to turn the tablet into, but if its not an options its not a problem. its just that raspberry pi's are constantly out of stock everywhere

sand ivy
crude inlet
#

Yeah the pi situation right now sucks. I don't care for it but VirtualBox on windows is probably your best entrypoint if you don't have something to run Linux on

#

@sand ivy you might try rebooting a few more times.

viral marlin
crude inlet
#

You only need to run a virtual machine if you're running the haos variant

#

And as far as virtual machines go it doesn't need extensive resources.

#

But on Linux you can properly run docker

#

And you could run HA in a docker container, by itself, without any of the "supervisor" ecosystem. HA OS has all of this included.

#

But you would not need all of that.

viral marlin
#

so i understand only half of it, but in short, running HA on linux easy (?)

#

what is haos variant ?
What is docker ?
docker container?

Im not inexperienced with computers, but i just never saw these terms in the instalation guide of HA

#

if we need to move to another channel cause these questoin arent meant to be asked here please say so

crude inlet
#

The channel is correct, I'm just not sure I have time to step into this

viral marlin
#

dont step into it if you dont have time, im just too autistic to quickly understand unknown things xD

How to install HA inside docker in 6 easy steps step 1: go ask someone what is google, step2: google linux, step3: read and learn linux basics, step 4: google docker, step 5: read and learn how to use docker, step 6, install ha inside docker and enjoy.

viral marlin
#

oh

#

docker is the whale with containers on top right?

#

wait is its the whale docker is epic, its mini virtual machines

delicate solstice
#

beware, once you install you never go back

viral marlin
#

wdym?

#

from what im seeing docker runs like a complex program on linux

delicate solstice
#

meaning pretty soon your entire home will be covered in Aquara sensors and you'll be figuring out how to best automate your sleeping behavior into a binary sensor 😄

viral marlin
#

dewut, im still trying to figure out how to install HA without a 150€ raspberry pi xD

low notch
#

docker

#

not on windows but on linux

delicate solstice
#

it's a good learning adventure! For docker, you can consider that "like" a VM, but containers are a bit different. Isolated processes

viral marlin
#

cause roughly said, HA works as an immage, not an application, so you need docker to 'run' the immage

#

and im still trying to figure out how that precisely works

low notch
#

without a gui if you want to run „lightweight“

#

you install docker and do what the installation instructions on ha page say

delicate solstice
#

Panzer, are you running from a windows machine right now? You can run docker locally to test around on your computer prior to the Pi.

If you haven't seen this page: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi

Basically, you will flash an image to the Pi. It will boot, and then you can access it via homeassistant.local via your web browser

#

There may be a few other troubleshooting steps, but I recommend starting there

viral marlin
#

thats the thing, i want a pi, but they are dead out of stock

viral marlin
delicate solstice
#

it's good now with WSL backed 😛

low notch
#

wsl is linux, not windows

delicate solstice
#

Containers are really a linux concept, windows implemented it backwards... really don't miss the days of windows containers in the early days of docker

low notch
#

and native linux is still better than wsl, will always be

delicate solstice
#

i agree

viral marlin
#

im not arguing wich one is better or worse

low notch
#

its not about which is better

#

its about conformity

viral marlin
#

i just know that i will install linux on my pc in a few months, and for now i want HA to work

delicate solstice
#

yeah - i'm just suggesting areas to get started, it sounds like you're starting at 0

low notch
#

you wont get a good experience with windows, thats not what it was built for

viral marlin
#

what would be different, does the program work poorly, as in is it unable to properly do what its supposed to do?

delicate solstice
#

more footguns

viral marlin
#

(what is that?)

delicate solstice
#

I'd look at running on Linux somewhere first - I agree with mstone, not worth the headache if this is your first foray into docker

low notch
#

mdns, zeroconf and general network trouble await you with windows

viral marlin
#

so it works half with windows

#

understandeable xD

low notch
#

its more crippled than working

delicate solstice
#

https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/windows/ - this page offers some guidance on installation on windows - but again, I would only do this for exploratory testing. Long term stability of your home automations you want a dedicated hardware device (Rpi/NUC/etc.)

#

again will be very limited

low notch
#

a server in general is not something you want to run on your desktop machine

delicate solstice
#

but for poking around and learning the ecosystem it can be helpful

low notch
#

any old laptop will do

#

if you cant get a pi now

viral marlin
#

i want to understand if its good and what it can do, cause next vacation i will change around my whole room, install linux on my pc and automate the whole thing, thats why i want it tried out

viral marlin
low notch
#

install linux now?

#

why not?

brazen herald
#

I'd definitely recommend not trying to do things the hard way for checking it out.

#

At least, use Docker

#

(Which is not fun on Windows, but at least gives you a supported HA install)

delicate solstice
#

no better time than today to start on linux!

viral marlin
# low notch install linux now?

im not familiar enough with it, the ammount of games working with proton are too low and not the right ones, and i lack knowledge of adaptability to do so

low notch
#

time to start now

brazen herald
#

HyperV, Docker, virtual machine, old laptop/desktop from a friend or relative, any of those are better than trying to run it on Windows

delicate solstice
#

🐧

low notch
#

if your pc is powerful enough run windows in a vm

viral marlin
viral marlin
low notch
#

why not?

delicate solstice
#

what are your specs of your PC? If you can run virtual machines you're in good shape

brazen herald
#

He's saying change your base OS and run Windows in a virtual machine 😉

delicate solstice
#

alternatively look at dual booting to ease the transition 🙂

brazen herald
#

I wouldn't do that, then HA will be down whenever you run Windows

viral marlin
#

i am aware of dual booting, thats not the reason, im simply too autistic to be able to change from systme to sytem reliably, and i can take time to adpat, but not admist university times

viral marlin
low notch
#

lol

delicate solstice
#

😄

low notch
#

man put linux on it, windows will still run fine in a kvm vm

delicate solstice
#

yeah I think you run windows in a VM no problem on that thing

brazen herald
#

I'd definitely recommend Docker then. You'll easily be able to transfer it to another machine, or you can just export the backups and import them again later.

delicate solstice
#

can even do GPU passthrough!

low notch
#

pass through that gtx and you can play games like nothing ever happened

brazen herald
#

But longer term you're going to want a dedicated always on machine for HA and related tools/awesomeness

delicate solstice
#

same graphics card I have and I pass through on my workstation

viral marlin
#

again, thats the plan.

its simply that i dont have the time to reinstall the whole thing since i need the pc working at this very moment

low notch
#

additional ssd doesn't hurt much

viral marlin
#

i have 2, and a HDD

low notch
#

there's really nothing stopping you now then

#

yeah, I think the payoff is good though. I run manjaro linux on my desktop with a bunch of VMs

low notch
#

guess you have more homework by now, get it? get it?

viral marlin
#

but basically, your making a windows virtual machine

delicate solstice
#

yup

#

and then giving it 100% access to your graphics card

low notch
#

linux virtual machine

#

if you are nuts you can also orchestrate vms with docker

viral marlin
#

here is a question about windows VM.

Can i tell the VM to run a game i have already installed on linux?

low notch
#

i do not windows (eh lies, i do for work but 🤮 )

delicate solstice
#

not really, no... but if you use steam then your save games and stuff are usually synced

#

so for example - I have Slay the Spire in my VM and on my linux, and it runs natively on my linux box

#

some games run good w/ proton

viral marlin
delicate solstice
#

yeah! exactly

viral marlin
#

but sadly we cant, cause the servers hosted by people only support windows thing. luckily its not the case for everything, and the steam deck is moving things forward a big way

delicate solstice
#

so once you're on Linux you can use docker (as intended!) locally, or spin up a new KVM virtual machine with Linux on it and use docker there too

#

best of luck panzer, I need to sign off for a bit

low notch
#

or you spin up the vm with docker

delicate solstice
#

i'm curious how you're doing that, putting kvm tools into a container image? 🙂

low notch
#

yes

delicate solstice
#

i like vagrant for that purpose instead

viral marlin
#

one thing im not getting about docker.

I know HA is supposed to be run on a standalone server, but can it run on my pc if i have linux, like in a simmilar fashion to a program

low notch
#

virtmanager in container, essentially = virtmanager in webui etc...

delicate solstice
#

cool

#

at work we use terraform with proxmox/KVM, and orchestrate all that from a container image. It's fun

low notch
#

i wish. we are forced into hyperv

delicate solstice
#

If you're new to Docker, I would recommend maybe trying a small project first, something like running a web server on Docker. Then take a look at some of the HA docs

#

we use terraform there too, hah. Multi cloud...

#

anyway - good convo folks, I need to sign off - good luck in your HA journey panzer!

wait till people find about WSL2 and setting up a bridged switch

is ubuntu touch (the tablet version) also compatible? or does it need to be desktop ubuntu

it is. dont do it though

viral marlin

why

is it not properlyy working on ubuntu like windows?

low notch
viral marlin
#

that was for instalation on android

that is a answer to tablet, not android specific

viral marlin
#

so why tablet bad, but pi good?

#

since they are both machine powerfull enough to run the same thing

low notch
#

tablet wireless

#

wireless server no good

#

wifi ap = server

#

wifi client = client

viral marlin
#

if both are connected to the local network, why would one be good and not the other?

low notch
#

it is about wireless

sacred shell
#

Your wifi drops, your HA drops

#

i installed ha on a 10 year old nexus 7 as a proof of concept. you don't want ha on a wireless device, period.

viral marlin
low notch
#

no

#

you already ordered a pi, wait for it

viral marlin
#

i want to make good use of the tablet, this might be a way

#

im trying to understand why it would not work

sacred shell
#

Use the tablet as a client kept in your home, a central location maybe

#

I use old iPads for the same

viral marlin
viral marlin
low notch
#

it is possible

#

just. dont. do. it.

viral marlin
#

its possible
it runs well
it works

what is the reason to not do it? im not getting it

sacred shell
#

But the iPads just run the mobile app as a client. It's not actually running HA

low notch
#

ok im out

low notch
viral marlin
sacred shell
#

On your Ubuntu tablet you would run the web UI in a browser, afaik

low notch
#

there is docker running on that nexus tablet, and ha on docker.

sacred shell
#

Oh wow, that's jank 😆

low notch
#

proper jank

sacred shell
#

Hey, I have a 2013 Nexus 7 somewhere... ponder

viral marlin
#

there are two things.

The actual HA, the 'server'
The thing you access HA with, the 'client'

I want the server on the tablet, and im trying to figure why its bad, like except putting the tablet on a charger next to my router nothign much is gonna happen with is, and the client would be somewhere else. i am confusion

low notch
#

what exactly do you not understand with wifi CLIENT

viral marlin
#

that i dont want it to be a client, but a host of HA

low notch
#

there is no wifi SERVER ever

viral marlin
#

unless a cabled internet connection is required to use it

sacred shell
#

I mean you could do that, but then you would have to have it connected to power all the time anyway or your HA system would shut down when your tablet ran out of power

viral marlin
#

''putting the tablet on a charger next to the router''

low notch
#

the performance will also be abysmal at best

viral marlin
#

so one reason to not run it on a tablet it because it would run poorly

low notch
#

another is wifi, just acknowledge it

viral marlin
#

im acknoledging wifi, but i dont know what i am supposed to acknowledge

low notch
#

wifi is not for servers

#

like, the tenth time now

viral marlin
#

i know its not made for it, im asking if its possible

sacred shell
#

Yes, it's possible

viral marlin
#

but now i know so its all good

low notch
#

as you see in the link above it IS POSSIBLE

#

but far from supported from us

sacred shell
#

Install docker on your Ubuntu Touch tablet, then install the docker HA... Thing (I'm not a docker guy)

#

It will probably be slooooow and you'll have no end of connectivity issues if you move the tablet around your home, or if there is any interference

low notch
#

probably? for sure

#

took about 2h to get that 2012 nexus running

viral marlin
#

thats the idea, i am aware the tablet might to be as immobile s the router itself, but if the connectivity between the devices and the serve goes via the router and not directly to the tablet its omething i want to do xD

sacred shell
#

If you're getting a pi anyway, you should instead virtualise HA and pull the config once it arrives and you've installed HAOS

viral marlin
low notch
#

will be a pleasure to learn docker on a tablet, lol

sacred shell
#

So use the tablet as a mobile device, as it's intended, for testing the client features of your virtualised (but hard wired) HA instance 👀

viral marlin
sacred shell
#

This is making irrationally angry 😂

viral marlin
#

probably yes, im not trying to seriously use HA, i dont have the devices for it in my room yet, thats for later xD

#

question : can you couple an open source voice assistant to HA ?

low notch
#

yes

viral marlin
#

thats very cool

#

do you recommend a specific one, or is there one officially supported?

look for almonds

viral marlin

kome assistant almond doesnt work either what is this xD

viral marlin
viral marlin
high token
#

no I meant @low notch should look for almonds since he's going in the woods

viral marlin
#

oh xD

#

yeha idk

merry karma
#

@viral marlin are videos easier for you to follow?

viral marlin
merry karma
#

ok, trying to think outside the box for you

viral marlin
#

ohhhh

#

almond is an extension!

#

that second link is very different from the first

merry karma
#

yes, there are multiple VA add-ons

viral marlin
#

VA? voice assistant ?

merry karma
#

yes

viral marlin
#

okey good

#

yeah cause the first link that was sent to me lead to a search engine

merry karma
#

the link got mangled

viral marlin
#

owh xD

#

woops

merry karma
#

not your doing

high token
#

mstone was teaching you how to search for yourself

viral marlin
#

and when he told me to search almond i found... edible almonds so i wasnt sure what he was trying to say.

i searched ''almond program'' but that didnt work either so i was confused

merry karma
#

you got it now, thats what matters

viral marlin
#

yes

#

so add ons for HA are called integrations and can be found on the HA website, not google xD

merry karma
#

now you get to do a bit of reading

viral marlin
#

i am currently looking at the list of integrations to see what they are and what they do, some look good

high token
#

addons for HA are called addons
integrations for HA are called integrations
addons are not integrations and vice versa

merry karma
#

focus on one at a time, trying to setup a bunch can be confusing in the best of times

viral marlin
high token
#

integrations help HA communicate with your devices

merry karma
#

it is not important now

high token
#

addons add extra functionality

viral marlin
#

aha, so and add on is added onto a device to manage it, and integrations are made to be able to integrate more devices with HA

merry karma
#

you are looking for a function whether it be integration OR add-on

#

KISS

high token
#

in the case of Almond for example you need to run the server/program/functionality where Ada (the voice assistant) would live

merry karma
#

keep it simple sir

#

🙂

high token
#

e.g. made very simply installing the program

#

that's the addon

viral marlin
high token
#

this was me trying not to make it complicated

viral marlin
#

oh, im sorry i misunderstood xD

merry karma
#

just keep reading, it will click, search in forums, perhaps someones way of saying it will click better than ours

viral marlin
#

i am trying, i have not found any ad on untill now but i will probably encounter one soon

merry karma
#

we want to help

viral marlin
#

i have noticed that HUE (for leds) is available, but is there an integration that can controll multiple lights of different brands together, or is it included in the base package ?

merry karma
#

no one is born knowing how

#

there are different ones for different brands

#

tuya is another

viral marlin
#

i know of a program, i dont remember the name, and they combine all the lights of every brand so that you only need one program to rule them all

merry karma
#

ha does that once you connect the different apps to it

#

to do that you use integrations

#

and-or add-ons

viral marlin
#

so if i connect a hue lamp, and a (lets say) google lamp with their own integrations, and tell HA to put all light to red, it will put all lights to red ?

merry karma
#

once you set it up yes

viral marlin
#

ok, i thought i would have to ask every integration program separately xD

merry karma
#

you can set a command that tells each device to do something, whether it be a light or the tv

#

if you can connect it to HA then you can combine it

#

that would be a scene

viral marlin
#

so i can make a command that says : ''turn off all lights'' ?

If i can, can i also ask a VA to do so?

merry karma
#

yes

viral marlin
#

thats dope

#

very very dope

#

so its
setup HA on pi
Make basic configurations
Connect all devices via integrations
Connect VA
Rule over devices

merry karma
#

it is like making a cake. you have lots of parts that look nothing like cake, but after following a number of steps you magically have a cake

high token
#

HA is the brain. You use integration to talk to your devices yes. But it's HA who is talking to them in the end. So HA can talk to any or all your devices

#

its up to you whether you then want all your lights red

#

5 certain lights red

#

one light blue

#

etc

merry karma
#

as I said, if you can connect you can combine

viral marlin
#

here is a ''strange question''. can i integrate something to HA trough my computer.

For exmaple if i have speakers connected to my computer, can i integrated these into HA, and that they are turned off when i turn off my computer

viral marlin
merry karma
#

you can do what ever you are willing to do

viral marlin
#

(if VA installed)

merry karma
#

it isnt so much "can I" as "am I willing to"

viral marlin
#

i am to consider my options before making choices

#

hence why i have questions, i want to know what can be done before deciding what to do

merry karma
#

you have many many options

viral marlin
#

cause i couldnt find anything to connect my HA to the comptuerr, so im wondering

merry karma
#

you should decide what you want to do first, otherwise you will get lost

viral marlin
viral marlin
merry karma
#

that will not get you a working system. trust me, I know the shiny stuff is tempting, but installing things just because they look cool will leave you with a mess of config files

#

I speak from experience

viral marlin
#

to my knowledge installing a VA doesnt look like a mess, but i will see

merry karma
#

HA with VA is not, focus on getting that working

#

once you can ask it for the time and weather, then you can move to next step

#

the others will have to help with the VA, I have not set that part up yet

viral marlin
#

thats the plan yes, for now i have things to do tho, installing and getting mediavault to work.

HA, its VA, and setting the whole thing, that look very shiny to me

merry karma
#

OMV should be on it's own device

viral marlin
#

OMV?

merry karma
#

at least not the same as HA

viral marlin
#

oh yes never mind

#

why should it?

merry karma
#

mediavault

#

HA dose not like being media server, it was not built for that

viral marlin
#

and if i install HA first and then OMV

#

will omv not be happy?

merry karma
#

does not matter, they are still sharing hardware

viral marlin
#

oh, the pi is unable to do both

merry karma
#

HA is the limit

viral marlin
#

cause a friend of mine has multiple things running on his pi and it works without any problem

merry karma
#

the point of HA and OMV are to use low power devices to run them, if you start trying to do multiple on a pi then you are defeating the purpose

#

you can, it will work

viral marlin
#

oh for me the purpose is to have it at all, with privacy and knowing its backed off by people and not companies, the rest i dont care

#

but i can install both on my pi and it wont like crash the pi or anything?

merry karma
#

no

#

it wont crash it

viral marlin
#

ah good, cause i chose a 4GB model specially because i wanted to run multiple things on it

#

if both are possible, thats good, very good

merry karma
#

I see people running HA in a container on OMV

#

tunning HA in a container is a whole new set of things to learn

#

you wont likely be able to run both from root system

viral marlin
#

seems like its own whole thing, no i just want it to work and thats it xD

merry karma
#

one thing at a time then focus on OMV or HA/VA

#

no matter your project, you will do it one step at a time, dont let squirrels distract you 😉

viral marlin
#

it will be one by one

#

but i need to do it in a special way cause i want to install multiple things on the pi i want to know it beforehand

merry karma
#

understand that you will likely have to start over, no one gets it right the first time. but it is easier after failing

viral marlin
#

i prefer being well informed and redoing it 5 times then redoing it 15 times

merry karma
#

then search for "homeassistant and OMV on RPi"

#

measure twice, cut once is GREAT advice, just remember that you cant build anything if you keep measuring

high token
#

I wouldn't recommend both together though since when not familiar with using linux HAOS is the better solution. Flash an image and you get HA. If you want to run both OMV and HA together it means you need to flash OMV on the Pi instead and install HA on top of that. Doing this also means you have to learn about docker as well

merry karma
#

sometimes it is better to get started and fix mistakes, just focus on getting one working, then do the other, that way you will understand each and know how to fit them together

viral marlin
#

ah ok so its like the meat on a burger, you cant make two burgers if you have two pieces of meat, you have to put both meats in one burger

merry karma
#

you can practice driving on the couch for years, but if you never actually get in the car and on the road, you havent done anything

viral marlin
#

research shows people who drive on the couch learn driving better and faster, wich is what im trying to do, im not actually doing it, but im getting a pretty good idea xD

merry karma
#

it cost nothing to reflash an sd card. flash a HAssOS image and get started learning

#

you are not going to kill anything by trying

viral marlin
#

i looked at the setup for getting HA on OMV, it doesnt seem complicated if i folllow the steps, i jsut lack familiarity with what container is

merry karma
#

it is not simple

#

keep it simple

#

do one thing

#

flash HAssOS and learn that

#

period

#

you have to start somewhere

#

that is the best advice to answer your questions

#

share files from your desktop for now

viral marlin
#

using etcher you download OVM and put it on the sd card then you let the sd card run for as long as it needs and you can follow by connecting to the pi and configuring it, and then extra few stepd to access the storage inside of it depending of it its linux or windows

merry karma
#

you need to DO, instead of read

#

OMV is NOT that simple

viral marlin
#

i did not read, it is from memory.

And i need to do yes, but the pi has not arrived

merry karma
#

I see

viral marlin
#

i believe you, from what i have sene untill now its not mroe complicated then that, wich is fine since its like 5 times more complicated then installing a normal program xD

merry karma
#

ok well read anything you want, but the best advice is to just focus on HAssOS once you get it, you can always change your mind and reflash later

viral marlin
#

i will see when i do, in this new video i found i noticed docker is set as a services, wich is epic, makes it so i dont have to download docker xD

#

epic

merry karma
#

yes but please start with
a non-container install

#

good luck

viral marlin
#

i will dont worry, one by one

#

thank you for your help

Hi guys, i have a small issue..

after setting up nginx proxy manager with home assistant im struggling to log in to my tuya cloud to connect my devices. any advise?

humble mirage
#

NGINX handles inbound connections, Tuya cloud is an outbound connection. NGINX won't have anything to do with Tuya

halcyon whale
#

im entering all credentials

#

and tokens

#

correctly

#

however im getting components/tuya/config_flow.py

If you're having problems with your updates to your configuration:

  • Check the troubleshooting steps
  • Check your log file - remembering you may need to set logger to info or debug
  • Explain what the problem you're having is - sharing configuration, errors, and logs
halcyon whale
#

the reasons im blaming nginx is because since i set it up i faced this issue

#

telling me that "unknown error has occured"

Awesome! Sometimes it is as simple as restarting 31 times! 😄 PS: you can check Configuration > System where you can see the details of your installation. If you see a panel with "Supervisor" you have a supervised installation which can be either "Home Assistant Supervised" or (more likely) "Home Assistant Operating System". If you see "Home Assistant OS x.x" in the Host panel in your System overview, you are indeed running Home Assistant Operating System (aka HassOS and HAOS).

First of all, Hi! 🙂 I'm new here. Then the question, and sorry for asking, since it's properly been asked a thousand times, but i just can't seem to find an answer, that answers my question. So here goes: I have been running HA OS on my Raspberry PI 4 for a long time, and i am very happy about it. I use, MQTT, Node Red, customizations and more. But presence detection is not working. So i wanted to install a module, but not possible for a HA OS. So i am looking to switch to a "non" OS install. I can see a container approach, and a supervisor approach, but supervisor does not work with a Raspberry PI OS, right? And if I go the docker way, what will i miss out on, not having the supervisor? I tried to read about all of this, but still not any smarter (https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/#raspberry-pi)

#

Hi all, Is it possible to see if a snapshot somehow got corrupted ? And my second question is I've used Lovelace in (storage mode) is it possible to only restore this or extract the yaml from a snapshot?

jovial rampart
#

@honest egret , So, HAss is HAss is HAss. How do you expect to fix presence detection by switching to a docker install? With docker, you do not get addons or the supervisor but addons are just docker containers that you can spin up on your own or install manually as a service. It’s a bit more work but not at all insurmountable. Also, you need to figure out backups, also not tough.

HAOS uses Docker under the hood after all

As an alternative to HA built-in bluetooth tracking, the monitor script uses separate devices, usually Pi Zeroes, to track bluetooth devices.
It uses MQTT topics to relay device status messages to HA. See this forum thread for more.

There is also an add-on available for it.

humble mirage
#

There's an add-on, in the link there

sleek ruin
#

I tried another snapshot and luckily it worked but it's completely missing my last Lovelace dashboard

jovial rampart
#

I am not sure how snapshots work, it doesn’t sound like it’s corrupted. It sounds more like it is doing some kind of incremental backup.

#

Are you doing full backups?

sleek ruin
#

Yes full backup

#

It wouldn't be a problem if my dashboard was a yaml file but sadly it's not

honest egret
# humble mirage There's an add-on, in the link there

I dont know why i have never seen the add-on before, that you. wow. But thank you. I will look into that. But when you guys say, hey noob-new guy, what do you hope to archieve, its just docker all of it, there is a difference between HA OS, having docker containers behind the scene, and a docker container running home assistant core, and having access to the rest of the OS on your own raspberry pi, right?

humble mirage
#

HAOS manages everything for you, and you install other software using add-ons
Container puts you fully in control, and you have to install software manually

#

The same HA functionality in both cases, it's the bigger picture that changes

honest egret
humble mirage
#

No

#

The Supervisor isn't Home Assistant

#

That's a Docker manager for managing the add-ons, backups, and other stuff

#

No matter how you install, Home Assistant is the same

honest egret
#

@humble mirage thank you for the feedback. And to point me towards the add-on option!

Hi everyone - I recently purchased the RPi 4B and the Argon One M.2 case (+ an M.2 SATA SSD) to run Home Assistant and replace my aging RPi 3. However, I'm having a lot of issues getting it to boot from the SATA SSD (SD card works fine). I've done some research on the errors I'm seeing (EXT4-fs / SQUASHFS errors) and from what I can tell it's likely related to the enclosure itself and how the RPi is communicating with the SSD (see: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/squashfs-error-ext4-fs-error/293167/5). Wondering if anyone has ever ran into this before or has any suggestions on how to get around this?

#

Here are the exact errors I'm seeing on boot:
EXT4-fs error (device sda0): ext4_find_entry:1463: inode #131220: comm coredns: reading directory iblock 0 SQUASHFS error: unable to read metadata cache entry SQUASHFS error: unable to read directory block

#

I have a feeling I'm either going to have to replace the case or simply live with booting off SD card for the time being. Unfortunately I'm already outside of the return period for the case/SSD.

crude inlet
#

@pliant sapphire you could alternatively use the datactl move method, which moves the /data partition but continues to boot from the SD

pliant sapphire
crude inlet
#

That's not what I am referring to. There's a built-in way to move the data on your SD to an externally connected SSD or nvme

#

As opposed to booting the whole thing from the external drive

pliant sapphire
#

Hm okay will have to look into it a little more here

crude inlet
#

There's no need to install "supervised"

#

If you go to the supervisor system page and click on the three dots on the Host card, you'll see "move data disk"

#

The disk needs to larger than the current disk

pliant sapphire
#

Got it, I'll give that a try today

#

This assumes that I'm running HassOS, correct?

pliant sapphire

Sounds good, appreciate the help

Do your NGINX logs show the connection reaching the proxy?
