Can't install homeassistant:2020.12.0

Hi guys, I just figured this out when it comes to RPi first setup.

It is trying to access https://ip-api.com
IP Geolocation API
and it is normally blocked by ad blockers and such, in my case pfsense pfblockerng.
Give it a bit of time, you can check if it’s retrying by exposing the log by clicking the blue circle, if it didn’t retry in the last minute or two, it’s updating.

Kinda weird that the self-proclaimed privacy-first piece of software is first of all relying on an internet connection to setup, and second to get my location first.
Please someone forward this or fix directly, I’m too annoyed for the time being and have to get the lights back :slight_smile:

As for the docker/addon install issues, switched Supervisor to the beta channel and updated HassOS to 5.10, that fixed the problem. Potentially try unplugging the USB drive as well, if not using.

On latest 5.10 RPi 4 image and cannot get past the ‘Preparing Home Assistant’ for 20m screen. No USB of ANY kind install on RPI. 1d so far preparing home assistant and reboot 1x but still stuck.

If I go to http://ip-api.com my ip instantly comes up on my main pc and shows my correct IP.

that did it for me as well!

How do you switch to beta channel? Especially if web never starts?

This fixed the issue for me.
Note: I used cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 which works as well.

Where are you setting the DNS value? I am using a RPi …
My router will not allow a value of 1.1.1.1…

For me the web started after allowing ip-api site, then could not download docker images (addons) until the updated HassOS to 5.10.

Looks like there are multiple issues with the HassOS installer.

I am under 5.10 version. I just did those steps to get it working. Thanks !

OK it seems I got this working and it took me setting the DNS to 1.1.1.1 using the v4.20 Raspberry Pi image. I am now on the latest version.

Thank you all …

I’m on latest and trying to update core and still getting the same error.
Changed DNS to 1.1.1.1 like mentioned and still no luck.

Weird, after a restart it appears to be working again, logs currently showing that it is downloading the docker image.

worked great.

this is super frustrating cause it’s broken again, the fact that I have to restart host everytime I need to download something is a bit silly.

Nevermind after restart I am still broken.

how much time does it take the last step?

I have been tried this process several times and after waiting for several hours (4 , 6…) nothing happens. In that point I need to restart some times (4 or 5) until the system can start in the last working version.

I am in a loop and I can not update to the HassOS 5.10. After using home assistant during a couple of years this is the worst issue I’ve ever found and it is a very frustrating situation. :tired_face:

Have you guys signed up for docker registry and added it in the add ons?
If not go to docker hub get an account then go into add on store and add hub.docker.com as a registry with your credentials.

a new clean installation was the solution in my case, i continue reconfiguring some integrations and recovering my dashboard three days later, but I wanted to update asap to be safe about the recentely discovered security bugs

Hmmm I’m still getting stuck on this. Have a Raspberry Pi4 8GB, nothing on it just the flashed image of hassos_rpi4-64-4.20.img.gz on LAN port. I’m running another Pi on another Lan port with Pihole and Unbound, dunno if this is why it keeps giving me this error on my set up screen, http://homeassistant:8123.

Been going through the thread with no success dunno what else I can do. Did I over read something?

Did you try my method? Changing DNS?

@alexoueb did you manage to resolve this?

nice one- thanks for sharing

I have had this problem on proxmox virtualization of HA resolved it by logging as root from console and adding dns adresses.

nmcli c mod $(nmcli -g uuid c) ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses “your.HA.IP/24.i.e.192.168.1.50” ipv4.gateway “your.Router.IP.i.e.192.168.1.1” ipv4.dns “8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4”

and then

nmcli c up $(nmcli -g uuid c)
