Can install HASS on Picoreplayer (tinycore) linux

deacon1337 · April 4, 2025, 10:22am

Hi I am running picoreplayer on my rpi5.
Now I am trying to install home assistant to run in the background.

hass --version
\2024.3.3

uname -a
Linux STREAMER 6.6.67-pcpCore-v8-16k #23 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 28 11:07:07 EST 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I tried using this guide Home Assistant setup on Raspberry Pi with TinyCore Linux (RAM only OS) · GitHub
And am able to work it all the way through. With some version modifications.

But once I start the HASS binary, I see some errors coming by on installation of packages and also when the guide says I should access the GUI website I an unable to.

In the attachment 1 I added a log of the startup and then in attachment 2 I posted log of error message when acessing from http, in attachment 3 I posted log from acessing https.

Attachment 1: startup log (JustPaste.it - Share Text & Images the Easy Way)

Attachment 2: error log http

BUMP, nobody?

francisp · April 8, 2025, 8:54am

You are probably the only one that wants to run HA on Picoreplayer. But current HA versions need python 3.12 (can’t say if that is the problem or not)

deacon1337 · April 9, 2025, 8:56am

I tried updating to python 3.12 but there I found there was no pip package included. So I got stuck after that

deacon1337 · April 9, 2025, 11:55am

might have to look at installing a normal distro on the rpi and leveraging all picoreplayer software and hass in there. perhaps a better idea since I alos want to run docker, nas and webserver

psketch · April 24, 2025, 8:03am

Yes, I don’t think this is the right way around. Tinycore is by design… well … tiny. It’s great for PCP, but not the right platform for HA IMHO. You can certainly do things the other way around - use HAOS as you base and run squeezelite as an addon . Or, since you’re clearly up for tinkering, why not run something like proxmox or portainer on your pi, run HAOS in one VM and then you can run a lightweight container with squeezelite, or probably run a VM for pcp/tinycore if you wanted.

deacon1337 · June 4, 2025, 10:30am

Your last option sounds pretty good, but will it be able to output and switch between displaying one or the other VM gui on the display (I have attached DSI screen). Currently Im using the dsi screen to display jivelite interface. Ideal would be a way to toggle between jivelite and hom assistant on the screen and be able to use the screen to control it as well.

psketch · June 4, 2025, 10:57am

I’d have to go with … don’t know … on that one I’m afraid - I run all of my proxmox stuff headless. I did have a really old pi2 on which I just ran jivelite connecting to squeezelite running in a container on my proxmox cluster, but I just don’t bother with it anymore. Probably something to ask over on the proxmox reddit perhaps.

I also hit the josepy issue.

homeassistant, at least version 2024.10.0, and perhaps transitively, is too permissive in it’s requirement on a dependency. josepy introduced a breaking change in the latest major version 2.0.0:

Breaking Change: PyOpenSSL has been fully removed. - Dropped objects:

josepy.util.ComparableX509

If you restrict josepy to an earlier version you might have more luck.

I’m using uv, so I did uv add "josepy<2.0.0"

Hello.
Thanks for the tip:

I’m discovering my OrangePi4 Pro and I installed HA as I already use it on my dev-station.
I searched for → AttributeError: module 'josepy' has no attribute 'ComparableX509'
and fortunately landed here. BIg Time Saver

The fix for the Ubuntu22.04LTS provided by OrangePi.org is
pip3 install "josepy<2.0.0"
