That probably means that /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass doesn’t exist. What does

ls -l /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass

show

3

BTW, if you see root@ at the beginning or # at the end of your prompt, you are already a root - no need to use sudo for your commands.

4

root@DietPi:~# ls -l /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass
ls: cannot access ‘/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass’: No such file or directory

thanks, it my first week into this xD

OK, so the target directory (folder) doesn’t exist. Do:

mkdir /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass

then

systemctl start home-assistant@homeassistant

then

systemctl status home-assistant@homeassistant

if everything is OK, then do

systemctl enable home-assistant@homeassistant

to make sure HA starts after reboot automatically

6

root@DietPi:~# mkdir /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass’: No such file or directory

i am using pi3B+, i use dietpi to install the system,

right now i am trying to do follow this guide to use dock to install hassio

ok i got it working now, with that guide, and a bit help to solve the “[ERROR] Please set machine for armv7l” problem

[here is how it looks in my docker i feel like i installed it twice? -_-](Image and video hosting by TinyPic)

In that case, do it in 2 steps, probably the homessistant direcory does not exist either. The mkdir is a command to create a directory (folder):

mkdir /srv/homeassistant
mkdir /srv/homeassistant/bin

or you can do it in one step:

`mkdir -p /srv/homeassistant/bin

I should have said that earlier, sorry

That will not work. hass is supposed to be the home assistant software, not a directory.

Oh, yeah, sure, without the “hass” part, of course. Apologies. I’ve edited the previous post.
