Connection refused after Setup

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I tried to setup Hassio with an Raspberry Pi 3.
Downloaded newest image, flashed it to the SD card, put it in, connect via ethernet to router with internet access and started it.

I waited 30+ minutes, i could ping it, but no response on http://hassio.local:8123/ (nor the IP).

I create this topic as documentation how I solved the problem, for others that might come after me:
TLDR; If your fresh Hassio installation doesn’t do anything but respond to ping → check the date!

  1. I follow the steps here to get ssh access.
  2. I got presented this error message, when running journalctl -f -u hassos-supervisor.service

Jun 22 11:21:09 hassio hassos-supervisor[531]: 18-06-22 11:21:09 INFO (SyncWorker_13) [hassio.docker.interface] Pull image homeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant tag landingpage.
Jun 22 11:21:09 hassio hassos-supervisor[531]: 18-06-22 11:21:09 ERROR (SyncWorker_13) [hassio.docker.interface] Can’t install homeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant:landingpage → 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error (“Get … x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid”).

  1. I identified that the System failed to update the time and therefore wasn’t able to do anything requiring SSL certificates.

I figured giving a short how-to change the time could help:

  1. Get access
  • Either login via SSH following the procedure mentioned above
  • or start the RPi with monitor and keyboard attached.
    Either way, you will be prompted with the hassio CLI
  1. Enter login
  2. check date with command date
  3. if it is wrong, get the current epoch time stamp ($ date +%s with linux systems)
  4. set the date on Hassio with # date +%s -s @<timestamp>

@JG.P SSH access steps, is not going to work without access to UI, “HassOS based Hass.io”

From the UI, navigate to the hass.io system page and choose “Import from USB”

How am I supposed to do that without being able to access hassio.local:8123 on a fresh install

… and I’m not really able to start with monitor since all I got is laptop, no external display

Hi, I tried to install my system anew after my SD-card gave up and after a day of trying everything i could find, the solution was to reset my router to factory settings (AVM Fritzbox) and magically the newly installed hassio did its thing …
Date was correct in my case. And i could not even get into the container (dial tcp 172.30.32.2:80: connect: connection refused”)

Just posting this because this topic came up in a lot of my google searches in case someone needs this solution

I think this was added after this. Didn’t have to do this when I had this issue.
Feel free to post a solution to this now broken workaround.
