"Conflict. The container name "/homeassistant" is already in use by container

Hi all,

I have just started about a week ago with Hass.io and was making some progress. However, Unfortunately I am not able to reach Hass.io with the webinterface anymore.
SSH to the IP is fine, but I can;t get it to start.
Could someone help me out?

SSH of command hassio ha start returns the following:
core-ssh:~# hassio ha start

"result": "error",
"message": null

the log returns this:
core-ssh:~# hassio ha logs

Error decoding json unexpected end of JSON input: core-ssh:~#

Info the following:

core-ssh:~# hassio ha info
{
ā€œresultā€: ā€œokā€,
ā€œdataā€: {
ā€œversionā€: ā€œ0.62.0ā€,
ā€œlast_versionā€: ā€œ0.62.0ā€,
ā€œimageā€: ā€œhomeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistantā€,
ā€œcustomā€: false,
ā€œbootā€: true,
ā€œportā€: 8123,
ā€œsslā€: false,
ā€œwatchdogā€: true
}
}

What could be wrong??

the log of the suporvisor gives a lot of information. Could somebody help out with this?

Sorry, I donā€™t have a solution for you, but I just ran into the same problem today. Maybe we can figure out the recurring problem in our situation. Iā€™ve been running Hass.io and Home Assistant 0.60.1 for a month without problems. Havenā€™t made a change to the config in over a week, and my Pi was rebooted yesterday, so the config files should be fine. HA was running just fine today until I kept shutting off/on the power in the house while installing some Z-Wave switches. Maybe SD card became corrupted, but that wouldnā€™t explain why Iā€™m able to SSH in.

Iā€™m able to SSH in, and access SMB shares through the Hass.io add-on, so those seem to be up and running. I canā€™t access the web interface. The home-assistant.log doesnā€™t show any errors, but hasnā€™t been updated since 3:20PM (it is 5:45PM at time of this writing). Iā€™ve tried hard reset with the USB cable, through CLI ('hassio host reboot), but same errors in the hassio supervisor logs.

The hassio supervisor logs show a number of errors though, that look similar to your errors. If I canā€™t find a solution, I will try to restore Home Assistant from a backup and a new SD card.

I never figured out the issue and ended up doing a fresh install of HA 0.62.1 on the RPi 3. Works great so far with all my previous components added in. I wish I knew what caused this issue though.

Today I am having the same problem showing up.
Is there someone who has an idea of what is causing this issue and how this can be resolved?

Thanks!

Iā€™ve experienced this several times. In my experience it was fixed by checking the yaml in configuration.yaml, even an un-required whitespace can cause this error. Go over your config and check every line.
Cheers

Same for me when trying to update from 2022.10.5 using ā€œha core update --version=2022.11.5ā€.

Nothing new:

Pretty helpless currently, trying stuff noted in the GitHub issue, fingerā€™s crossedā€¦


Update: Nothing helped.

  • Even ha su repair timed out with Post "http://supervisor/supervisor/repair": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers).
  • Also ha host reboot gave Post "http://supervisor/host/reboot": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers) so I really had to shutdown the host the hard way (power cable - pull, wait, plug) for the first time in more than 2 years.

Lesson learned: Dear Supervisor, if youā€™re screwed, everything is screwed.

I have the same issue every time I upgrade the core. Message is:

The only sequence which works for me via ssh on 22222 is:

ha core stop
ha core update
ha host reboot
ha core update
ha core start

I am on the most recent supervisor (2023.8.1). I have no idea why this is happening. It is a bit annoying, as I cannot really issue these commands from my mobile phone. I am running HAOS.
