2024.12: Scene you in 2025! 🎄

Here it gets an error when trying to update to 2024.12.3

Update/install action failed. Error updating Home Assistant Core: 500 Server Error for http+docker://localhost/v1.47/containers/homeassistant/json: Internal Server Error ("open /mnt/data/docker/overlay2/c2e43c1370e1ed3d4dbc62f73f23c45a81b61ad5e88f622e414c352c81d02e79/lower: input/output error")

No problem here, also HAOS on proxmox VM.

tryed again and had the same . “error loading dashboard”. it gives this error for all menu entries

Clear your browser cache. 2024.12.3 has a new frontend. (But you already know that from the release notes)

I have no idea what happened, but after the restart the update went through correctly.

Thank you so much! it is working !

Maybe this issue can be avoided in future versions!?
thanks

I just tried to update from 2024.12.2 to 2024.12.3 by clicking Update in the frontend and now Home Assistant won’t load, and trying to restore from the backup it created before updating via SSH doesn’t work:

$ ha backups restore a5494a98
Processing... Done.

Error: 'BackupManager.do_restore_full' blocked from execution, system is not running - startup

I’m still troubleshooting and I’ll update this with the solution if I find one, but if anyone has ideas, please share :slight_smile:

Update: rebooting (SSH in and reboot) brings back the frontend for a few seconds, but then it dies again.

Update 2: I also can’t get it to reboot into safe mode:

$ ha core restart --safe-mode
Processing... Done.

Error: Another job is running for job group home_assistant_core

Don’t have anything useful to contribute, but just chiming in that I’m having the same problem. Of course I didn’t notice that my backups haven’t been running for a month until after this happened.

Do you have the ICS Calendar custom add-on installed? It seems to be causing some problems: Latest Update Prevents Home Assistant from Starting · Issue #200 · franc6/ics_calendar · GitHub

Though I tried removing it from custom_components and rebooting and HA still won’t start Nevermind, I just had to wait a little longer. It’s working now.

ICS is what was doing it to me too. I was able to get core to restart in safe mode and disable it.

I had the same problem, had to restore from a backup and I’m up again now, was very frustrating. And yes, I have the ICS Calendar integration, I had upgraded it just before the update.

they should the whole command history put into the context, even if chatgpt didnt do that

Did you open an issue and/or tried the 2024.12.3?

Suggest you to create an issue in Frontend GitHub if you see some labels not translated properly.

Same here: After upgrading to 2024.12.3, I receive a 502 err code after some time. Using it with the nginx proxy manager. Also, other backends like the unifi addon wont load.

All my helper groups have stopped working after updating. These are simple light groups that contain light.*** entities. I use them to turn off/on different groups of lights and are part of many many automations. Now all my automations are broke since I can’t even turn on/off the light groups manually.

Same issue here as well…

Exactly which update? When did it last work?

What else do your logs say?

Same issue: HA lived for a few days after the update.

I’ve made some Piper integrations and TTS messages since the update. And tonight HA just died, the UI part of course.

I thought it was related to my setup, Piper or TTS issues.

I only was able to get back into the “safe mode” after hours troubleshooting.

The path:

Force the downgrade:

ha core check
ha core rebuild
ha core update --version 2024.12.1

# Extraordinary way to do it in two console instances at once!

# Loop force! use 1st terminal
watch -n0 “/usr/bin/ha core update --version 2024.12.1”
# restart core in the second:
ha supervisor restart
Outputs

➜ ~ ha core check

Processing... Done.

Command completed successfully.

➜ ~ ha core rebuild

Processing... Done.

Error: Another job is running for job group home_assistant_core

➜ ~ ha core update --version 2024.12.1

Processing... Done.

Error: Another job is running for job group home_assistant_core

Safe mode

ha core stop
# start save after interruption and forced stop!
ha core restart --safe-mode
Output

➜ ~ ha core stop

Processing... Done.

Command completed successfully.

➜ ~ ha core restart --safe-mode

Processing... Done.

Command completed successfully.

Only after I can get back into the UI.

I can’t yet provide anything more useful since I thought it was related to integration, but it seems untrue.

Repeating the update

I ran the Update procedure from the UI in the Save mode, and HA died in the middle of it.

UPD: Cannot recreate my workflow, after the update step from the pic attached: core is no longer starting or restarting even in "safe_mode.

UPD2: It’s probably related, also delete other integrations that can use ICS calendars too: Latest Update Prevents Home Assistant from Starting · Issue #200 · franc6/ics_calendar · GitHub
