I am stuck on the preparing screen, literally. It has been sitting there for 45min. I am getting several error messages on that same screen when i click the dot. “internal server error” seems to be the most frequent. Can anyone please help a complete noob!?
Hi - first off post your logs if possible.
Also, ensure your Pi has internet access and that you are using a good quality SD card with plenty of spare space.
OK - maybe the large card is the issue. How long have you left it? The initial boot extends the space on the card and downloads the rest of HA.
This normally can take 20 minutes - 45 seems long though.
The errors seem to indicate internet access issues. What method did you use for install? Did you use the Pi imager to install HAOS as per the install page? Or some other method?
I did use the pi imager. I have tried a dns change and have just rebooted. We shall see if that did it.
That did not work either
Run out of ideas - I just did a successful install on a Pi 3 using the Raspberry Pi imager and it worked fine, so nothing to do with the image or repositories.
This is still pointing to a network issue - sorry.
I agree but my problem is not knowing how to fix said problem
