"A start job is running for Docker Application Engine" is holding up boot

Installation
1

Hey everyone. I have a problem that is baffling me. When booting HA it takes about 30 minutes to get past the start job.

This has not been a problem at all the last two years on thia server.

I’ve freed up space, removed some questionable custom components but it hasnt helped.

Initially I thought it was frozen, but managed to get to the logs with the rescue mode and saw it was doing things before I turned it off. I cannot really find a specific thing in the logs that is holding things up though.

Any ideas?

Same here … I updated a bunch of components and now HA is stuck in the docker application container engine step since 8 minutes.
Its also VEEEEERY slow rebooting in general. I have it running as a VM and already rolled back to last night assuming it mustve been those updates. But nope, didnt fix anything…

Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue on a brand new Rpi 5 with a fresh image.

I have now the same problem, rolled back to an Backup(Proxmox) from earlyer today and still the same:

Same issue here, since first setting up HA.
Running as a VM on Synology DS1618+
It boots fine but it just takes ages. From starting the VM until being able to sign in, at least 15 minutes.

Seem the problem is in configuration.yml
You should check for it if any unnecessary attributes, then remove it.

In my case, I have extra_module, removed it then HA boot quickly again.
