Did you put hashtag in front like iI did?

Hashtag “commenting out” help me with reboot

What triggered my problem with HA not starting up after reboot is Ubuntu apt upgrade/update

Same problem after Raspbian update (PI 3). In hassio-supervisor service container don’t start with key --attach (in file /usr/sbin/hassio-supervisor last line with docker start --attach hassio_supervisor).
Docker version 20.10.4
Downgrading docker-ce to 19.03.15 did not help.
Everything worked on docker version 20.10.4 after reinstalling the Home Assistant Supervised:

Thanks for pointing that out - iPhone doesn’t make up for me not wearing my glasses!
I’ll give that a try.

After trying it - No joy. I tried it a second time after re-running the installer as well

Thanks all for the help.

I tried commenting the line and no joy. I tried re-running the install script no luck. Re-commented the line and no luck. Finally read the log file and found a complaint regarding HACS having an invalid token. I tried removing and reloading HACS and get the ever helpful “unknown error” when re-installing.

I’ve made too many mistakes trying changes and doing things to the system and now doubt that I can ever trust it again. At this point I am still open for ideas but as soon as I get time I guess I will try rebuilding the system and then recopying to the SSD.
If anyone has a guide to do that - I’d really appreciate a link
Thanks again

The systemd setup works fine for me, however the audio messages played with aplay only work when started from the terminal.
Here’s the test command: /usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
It seems that aplay doesn’t have enough permissions.

How can investigate further?

I have problem also executing hass in virtualenv via systemd
Python SSL has ssl.SSLCertVerificationError via systemd
(ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate)
Anybody know why?

Hello,

I am running HA das Docker Container. I would like to start it via systemd at the start up of my Pi. It tried the example above but it does not work for me. Instead I have the following service file which works to start the HA Docker container manually by sudo systemctl start home-assistant-docker.service

The code of my service file is as follows:

[Unit]
Description=Home Assistant Docker
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

[Service]
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a home-assistant
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 40
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 home-assistant

[Install]
WantedBy=mutli-user.target

P.s.
It setup a sleep of 40, because I need to wait until my Homematic CCU, which is running on the same Pi, is loaded, because HA reads some sensor data from the HM CCU.

However, even after doing sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload and sudo systemctl enable home-assistant-docker.service the HA Docker Container does not start when I reboot my Pi.

Any suggestions what I do wrong?

Hi,
It’s a breaking changed on the 2022.02.0 (not listed yet) with systemd.

Need to add this on a core home assistant systemd configuration :

RestartForceExitStatus=100

does not work in HASS OS, it is generally impossible to run a python script in the background there.

I found my solution to getting this working again here. I had to run

systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

Then replaced After=network-online.target with:

[Unit]
...
After=systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
Requires=systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

From my understanding, Requires being a stricter version of Wants/WantedBy which is critical to running this on boot.

Hi, so I followed the instructions to a T, but fedora is throwing errors?
Here’s what’s come up:

I checked HASS and it’s definitely locatable, what could I be doing wrong? TIA :slight_smile:

Very helpful thanks. Worth noting that if you are installing home assistant from scratch (eg using ansible or some other method to automate an install), the .homeassistant folder does not exist, and starting the service will fail.

The solution is just to create it before starting the service.

mkdir /home/YOUR_USER/.homeassistant
sudo systemctl start [email protected]_USER

How do I resolve HA Core daemon crash with chdir/200 exit code?
I followed every step on the the Raspberry guide.
