I have been running HA via Unraid VM for over a year now without any issues. Today, I decided to go for a Supervisor/Core update. I don’t update every release, maybe once a month or two. Past updates went fine but this time, the update was stuck and when I checked the logs, I saw an error “…blocked from execution…” I did a soft restart in the UI but the update kept spinning w/o success.
So I restarted the VM as a hard reset. HA started normally but I couldn’t reach :8123 locally anymore. I could ping the IP but both homeassistant.local:8123 and localip:8123 were unreachable.
Nothing changed in my firewall, port, or network settings. Everything as fine ~30 min ago pre-update attempt. So I assumed the failed update corrupted something and tried ‘ha supervisor repair’. Was going to try ‘core rebuild’ after but things got really weird before I had the chance. The supervisor repair timed out after a while but my core is now gone, showing ‘landingpage’ instead of ‘2022.11.2’.
I restart the VM again and now it takes me into rescue shell.
I exit to proceed, and supervisor starts. But every reset takes me into rescue mode by default now.
The strangest part is that homeassistant.local:8123 is now accessible but stuck in ‘preparing home assistant’. I waited about 3 hours but no luck.
So at this point, I’m ready to concede my HA is FUBAR, unless someone has a suggestion to try.
I don’t mind doing a fresh clean install, but my biggest concern right now is how to access my backup config. I don’t have a backup of the VM sadly. Is it possible for me to access the .vmdk to retrieve my latest HA backup? I believe I set up and scheduled auto backups in the UI a while ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
