GUI wont start after reboot

Installation
1

I am on Raspberry Pi 3.

I have installed Home Assistant and it all works fine, including the web interface at http://192.168.1.34:8123 when I run:
sudo /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass -c /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant

I have created a file /etc/systemd/system/[email protected] with the following contents:

[Unit]
Description=Home Assistant
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=homeassistant
ExecStart=/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass -c "/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant"

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When I reboot, homeassistant starts but the GUI does not. But as stated above running:
sudo /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass -c "/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant"
from the command line starts it OK. So this ExecStart line in the service file does not start it.

Can anyone help?

Checking the status shows its running:

sudo systemctl status [email protected]

The log file does not seem to show any elated errors - I dont think?? They seem to be just for integrations.

Actually, maybe it is working, it seems to take about 5 minutes to start after its booted, and I have been impatient and rebooting and fiddling quicker than 5 minutes. Oh well, all good I guess!

yes, you’ll see that it takes a while on a RPi.

if you can eventually get to the frontend then it should be fine.

but it also might mean that you need a faster machine than a Pi to run it on. :wink:
