Can't update Home Assistant past HA Core update - 2023.4.6

Installation

Hello HAGurus!

Well… I’ve been running HA for about 3 years now. All updates so far have been pretty straight forward but for some reason, I just can’t update past 2023.4.6 and I can’t figure out why.
I’ve been staring at log files, configurations, add-ons and pinballing around everything I can think of to get an idea of what’s going on but I think at this point, I’ve got so far into the diagnostic process that I’ve lost sight of probably what’s staring at me in the face waving at me!

So… from the top:

  1. I’m running HA on a VM inside a Qnap.
    Storage - fine
    Resources - fine
    System firmware - up to date

  2. Inside the HA console I’ve run:

  • ha core check - checked ok
  • ha core rebuild - error -

  • ha core update - Processing - Done. Command completed successfully.

  • ha core available-updates:
    panel_path: /update-available/core
    update_type: core
    version_latest: 2023.6.2

Yet when I look in the GUI, it says that the update is still pending.

Can anyone shed any light as to why it won’t update?
Thanks in advance.

Check and see if you still have “default_config:” in your config yaml- in case it has been removed.
Also try “ha authentication cache” via shell.
If those don’t work, try disabling add-ons, do the update and then turn them on one by one.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

default_config: is the first line of my config.yaml file

I’ve run “authentication cache” which completed successfully

When I click on ‘update’ within the GUI… it rejects it so fast, it’s like it’s not even trying to update.
