HASSIO: Cannot re-install Configurator from the add-on-store

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Configurator was not launching the Web UI although the IP and port were correct.
History: Hassio was a updated to the latest version on 01/29
Corrective actions:

  1. I went to settings in the Add-on and they were correct: user, password and port. I did not think about the network range!
  2. to Reset everything
    A. Commented out configurator entries in configuration.yaml WinSCP editor.
    B. uninstalled the Add-on.
    C. restarted
    D. tried re-installing the add-on. Install button colored wheel spins, then the button briefly turns red then regular blue text.
    E. Log has this entry when I try step D for the past few days

Note I was able to install/uninstall OTHER add-on without issues. And I did not see comments about the repository not being available (Error 404). So I don’t think that is the issue.
Comment: Could it be a folder permission problem?
Please help.

Your not the first user to report this problem. But not being a hassio user I’m not sure what the problem could be.

I can suggest an alternative though. The configurator is also available through my external repository. If you add https://github.com/danielperna84/hassio-addons to the add-on store, you should be able to install the configurator from there. Just make sure to remove the previously installed version from the official add-on repository.

The version from my repo probably has a few more options you can configure. But apart from that the functionality should be pretty much the same.

Edit:
Installing from my repo might take a bit longer because it builds the image locally instead of just downloading a pre-built image.

Worked perfectly.
When I was reading about HASS configurator, a “configurator.py” is mentioned. Does such file exists and where would it be located?

It is only relevant for manual installations without hassio. It’s the file that holds all the code.

Thank you so much! This works for me too!
