Error updating Home Assistant Operating System 11.5

Hello everyone,

I have a problem since 2 months. I want to update my Home Assistant from 11.2 to 11.5 but I receive every time an error. I thought it will be solve in the next updates but I still have this issue.
Short information about my setup:
I have a mini pc from ThinkPad and run there Proxmox. It is directly connected with my router. I have the problem that my internet provider give me an DS-Lite connection so the access to my Home Assistant from web is over a Reversed Proxy and this is connected with an external rented Server via wireguard VPN. I don’t know if this is a problem. And another thing is that I run Adguard Home on that PC. I hope I don’t forget anything.

Here is the error text:

and now I am out of ideas.
I am thankful for every idea or someone knows maybe the problem.

Thanks for your help :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, I have the same issue as well. I’m since 11.2 not able to reboot HA after trying to update. I’m as well running it from a Proxmox VM. The console gets stuck during restart looking like this


The logs during startup indicates an issue with qemu-quest agent

I have spent some time looking for anyone that has solved this without success.

Rolling it back with Proxmox backuo to 11.2 and it’s working again

A fresh install of 11.5 on a new VM works, but I don’t know how then to recover all integrations, devices, dashboards etc so that is not a good option

Hope there is somenone here that can help out :slight_smile:

I have a HA Yellow. I was experiencing this issue. I was able to put HA into safe mode and then run the updates. Going from 11.0 to 11.5. Not entirely sure why I was getting a Network timeout. I delved into my DNS ad blocker, reset back to cloudflare dns for my entire network. Also double checked any custom addons (which I only have terminal, file explorer and the matter server) but disabling those didn’t help.

No idea why it worked with safe mode on.

Same error here updating OS from 11.5 to 12.0 on a Pi 4
The file mentioned in the log

https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/12.0/haos_rpi4-64-12.0.rauc

can be regularly download
No solution found yet

I’m back, this error is prevalent everywhere. I have been able to upgrade from time to time, but I think it’s just by chance. I have a suspicion that it’s something to do with TLS Handshake error. Read a ton of stuff on this and tried looking for ways to extend the timeout. Long story short there is a file that is most recommended to update (/etc/docker/daemon.json). For the home assistant yellow that file is read only. But a lot of people saw some success with adjusting the MTU setting.

As I’ve said previously tweaking dns settings, or tweaking timezone settings, reformatting, flashing the M.2 with the OS directly over USB, restoring from backups, checking to make sure your device is getting enough power to swapping ports on the switch, to swapping cables, even upgrading my hardware, making sure I’m well above any minimums. I was able to consistently reproduce it using the direct onboard debugger and try to pull the images directly.

I saw some minor improvements to the overall performance of the device itself however the error remained persistent between any docker related downloads.

I have exhausted my options on figuring out what’s causing this.

I have the solution!!!
I wanted to setup my server with faster data transfer and I setup the MTU value in the network settings und set it to 1420. After I delete it everything works fine. The updates are working all fine and my problem with the Add-ons store are gone.
I hope that helps someone with the same issues

I think the solution suggested by @Galileo23 will not work for all of us. However, after taking a break on this topic for some months I gathered som new energy and tried again. For my installation the case was that core was updating but OS stuck on 11.2 and wanting to update to 11.5, still with the latest core being 2024.6.4. What I did was to install a new fresh HomeAssistant on a new VM in Proxmox. I had tested this already earlier and it was working fine on my Proxmox, but now I wanted to keep all my integrations etc as it was and to merge all this over.

  1. Create a Full back up from your current HAOS and store it were you can reach it later from a different HAOS installtation. Then stop this VM.
  2. Create a new VM in Proxmox and install the latest version of HA but don’t start it yet. Before starting the new VM I passed through the USB devices I have on my current installation, e g Zigbee, ZWave and a USB network NIC. Now start the VM from the console. During start up - choose the recover option (instead of creating a new profile etc).
  3. Upload the back up from step 1. Be patient and confirm dialogue boxes that occurs. Again, be even more patient and sooner or later a login screen will pop up to HA
  4. Login with your original login credemtials. Check if it is what you have expected to see and then stop the VM.
  5. Copy the MAC adress and bridge info you have on the original VM for HA over to the new one. Make sure to tick out Auto boot on the original one since you only want to use this IP with one VM at the time.
  6. Spin up the new VM. Possibly you will need to reconfigure some things. In my case it was the ZWave and Zigbee2MQTT that needed some attention. The Zigbee2MQTT and the MQTT broker lost the passwords that I had to correct in the configs
