Update Detection Not Working After VMware to Proxmox Migration

Environment

  • Home Assistant Version: 2025.7 (core), 2025.9 (reported in UI)
  • Installation Type: Home Assistant OS (VM)
  • Hypervisor: Proxmox VE (migrated from VMware ~2 months ago)
  • Disk Format: qcow2 (converted during migration)
  • Database: Built-in SQLite

Problem Description

After migrating my Home Assistant VM from VMware to Proxmox, the update detection system is behaving inconsistently:

  • UI Issue: The Home Assistant web interface shows no available updates and reports I’m on the “latest 2025.9 version”
  • Core Reality: When checking via supervisor console (ha core info), the system reports:
    • Current version: 2025.7
    • Latest available version: 2025.7
  • Workaround: Manual updates via supervisor console (ha core update) work correctly

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to Settings > System > Updates in Home Assistant UI
  2. Observe that no updates are shown and version appears as 2025.9
  3. SSH/console into supervisor and run ha core info
  4. Note the version discrepancy

Expected Behavior

  • UI should accurately reflect the current core version (2025.7)
  • Available updates should be displayed when newer versions are released
  • Version information should be consistent between UI and supervisor

Troubleshooting Attempted

  • Manual updates via supervisor console work correctly
  • Issue persists across multiple weeks/potential update cycles

Additional Context

  • Migration process involved converting VM disks to qcow2 format
  • All other Home Assistant functionality appears to work normally
  • Planning to migrate to MariaDB in the future but currently using built-in database

Questions

  1. Could the disk format conversion have corrupted some update-related configuration?
  2. Is there a way to force refresh the update detection system?
  3. Are there specific logs I should check for update-related errors?

Any guidance on diagnosing or resolving this version reporting inconsistency would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Steve Ferguson or the LLM helping Steve Ferguson, whichever,

First, if you have an LLM write the question for you, at least edit the thing to take out all the AI prompts so it isn’t SO annoying…
Second it’s probably a DNS problem. Is the HA instance able to get to the net and do everything?
How to set DNS after first install.

DNS was configured correctly. You’re right that I used an LLM to organize my thoughts so it didn’t read like a stream of consciousness. I am still stuck on 2025.7.0.

Well, if this isn’t working in the UI, try the CLI version. Both are shown here.

A host reboot has also been shown to clear this error in some cases. (Not HA restart)

NOTE:
A great way to write this up is ‘Stuck on 2025.7. HA core doesn’t ask for update.’
