I am having the same issues. I can see the update start and then they never complete and I end up rebooting to get the system running again. This started with another update last month, I can’t remember which one. The progress bar very slowly goes across the screen then it fails, forcing a reboot. It’s almost like there is a network issue but only on their end, all the other updates work. Of course now I have a bunch that won’t load because they require the 2026.3.0 update!

Oh and by the way, welcome to the community. It’s much better here than on Reddit!

What time zone are you in? Which one is configured in HomeAssistant? Docker? Is NTP accessible across your network? Are you running a VM or VLAN?

5

Which OS Ver. Does You Guys Run ?

6

I run haos inside VM. I make a little research and found that all files in folder /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe in core and superviser containers have zero length. Same files in haos have correct length.

7

Just saying, how long did you wait.
I think one of mine took an extended time the other day, wasn’t sure why, but I left it alone for an hour or so and it came back updated.

8

Yeah me to, i have i.e 1 with OS 16. and CORE 2025.10.2 , And another with OS 17.1 and CORE 2026.3.1 ,The reason i asked “Ver”
EDIT: well 2026.3.1 is actually on a HA-Green

9

I have 17.1.
I run “ha docker migrate-storage-driver” and after this my issue was resolved.

Same here…

11

The yusually time out after about an hour…

12

Sounds simple. Could anything go wrong? If so, would it be fatal?
Any of the other steps suggested in the following be of relevance?

13

Doubtfully, as this “command” was suggested/recommended in the OS 17.1 Release Note

14

It say’s “optional”.

Note that Home Assistant OS 17.1 uses Docker Containerd snapshotter by default, optional migration steps for existing installations are available in the 17.0 release notes.

15

Thanks for the Commend, And Clarification

16

So these are all solutions if you are using docker, correct? So I am running a standalone mini pc and having the same issues, anyway I can solve that? Just dread doing a complete reinstall to update to the latest version of HA…

18

Looks like you are having the same issue as I am, I made a post about it as the 17.1 version just seems corrupted or something as it just seems to be stuck in trying to install, failing to extract and trying again being stuck in a loop, I dont even know how to go back to a good version, only been using HA for about 3 weeks after psyching myself up to take the plunge and move over to it.

a requirement seems to be OS 17.1 , also it’s not of much “help” just stating “same here”, it doesn’t tell whether you find the same “error” entries in your RAW-Log files, and it doesn’t tell anything about your system, i.e size of DB etc. etc.
This however sounds like you had issues before, so it might not entirely be depended upon this Release.

This could be “revealed” in a “RAW-Log file” if not a Debug might be needed to further investigate

20

Which Post ?
You are aware the that “mobile version” showing “snippet” of errors aint of much use ?.
Could you try from a pc/laptop , at home, so your not trying to update OS, or CORE from your Phone-App

21

This one Corrupt Archive HAOS 17.1 - Installation - Home Assistant Community

I have been using the PC but that is just sat in console and that was the only place i could see whats happening. Ive been trying a complete fresh install with a brand new drive but having no luck on that one either.
