Another 'HomeAssistantCore.update' blocked from execution, system is not healthy issue

I’m running Home Assistant OS on a RPI3, I installed hass.io some time ago…i think HA was somewhere in the 0.40s at the time and hass.io was somewhat new.

I’m currently on HA 0.112.4 trying to update. Supervisor is 2020.12.2, but is blocking any updates, telling me I don’t have a proper OS installed, ha os info dumps:

board: null
boot: null
update_available: false
version: null
version_latest: null

Clicking “learn more” next to “You are running an unsupported installation.” reveals that it seems to think everything is broken:

cat /etc/os- release reveals:

NAME="Alpine Linux"
ID=alpine
VERSION_ID=3.11.5
PRETTY_NAME="Alpine Linux v3.11"
HOME_URL="https://alpinelinux.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/"

Does anyone have any tips how I might go about solving this situation? I’ve read through a lot of similar threads but haven’t found anyone with the same circumstances or anything that’s helped…can’t really figure out how to attack this outside of buying a RPI4 and starting over, which I would be thrilled to avoid.

Thank you in advance!

# 0014. Installation method: Home Assistant Supervised

Date: 2020-06-03

## Status

Accepted

## Context

Define a supported installation method as per [ADR-0012](https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/adr/0012-define-supported-installation-method.md).

## Decision

This installation method provides the full Home Assistant experience on a regular operating system. This means, all components from the Home Assistant method are used, except for the Home Assistant Operating System. This system will run the Home Assistant Supervisor. The Supervisor is not just an application, it is a full appliance that manages the whole system. It will clean up, repair or reset settings to default if they no longer match expected values.

By not using the Home Assistant Operating System, the user is responsible for making sure that all required components are installed and maintained. Required components and their versions will change over time. Home Assistant Supervised is provided as-is as a foundation for community supported do-it-yourself solutions. We only accept bug reports for issues that have been reproduced on a freshly installed, fully updated Debian with no additional packages.

This method is considered advanced and should only be used if one is an expert in managing a Linux operating system, Docker and networking.

This will show you what you need to address, and install. Alpine is not a supported OS, so you won’t get rid of the “unsupported” message.

You may be better off taking a snapshot of your current HA setup, backing up all your .yaml files for safe-keeping, and installing fresh. If you want to continue to use your Pi3 and want a supported install, you can either follow the official instructions to flash the HA OS image for your Pi, or this guide to install HA Supervised with Debian 10.

Thank you very much for the quick informative reply.

Well, just wanted to say, I figured as long as I was doing a restore I’d upgrade to a Pi4…I bought the kit, flashed the sd, loaded my snapshot into HA, and was up and running in under an hour where I left off. Huge kudos to HA, thank you for continuing to make it awesome!
