I configured the server to automatically reboot through its own automation if this error is displayed in the log. But this is not a solution to the problem. I want this error not to occur at all.
I did a fresh flash of Lineage 20 (Android 13) on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (lavender), rooted with Magisk 25.2 and installed Home Assistant in Termux by following @gj9159a excellent instructions.
All seemed to work fine but then i ran into the “permission to access /proc/net is denied” problem.
I tried following @porcupine_moon instructions, but found I couldn’t complete the part about editing the lines in common.py as I didn’t seem to have a … /site-packages/pyroute2 directory and I’m not clever enough to know why not.
I then discovered I was getting a similar permissions error just executing ifconfig
After a bit of Googling, it seems this is because I have SELinux=Enforcing. The simple instructions here explained how to set SELinux=Permissive in Termux
After setting SELinux to Permissive, Home Assistant worked fine on my phone without any issues.
I’m aware that setting SELinux to Permissive opens my phone to exploits (and I’m assuming setting it in Termux is both system wide & permanent until i set it back to Enforcing?) but if its necessary to run Home Assistant on Android 13 and that’s pretty much all the phone is used for, then I’m assuming its relatively safe to leave it as Permissive?
Slight aside question:
Having got Home Assistant installed & running on my rooted Android phone, does anyone know how I could create a sensor for display on a dashboard which shows the current battery level of the Android phone? (the phone on which HomeAssistant is running, not the client).
To do this, I installed Home Assistant companion app from GP on the phone server. The application collects information from various sensors and sends it to the server. In particular - the battery charge and whether it is on charge.
What a genius idea! Thank you 
I tried LineageOS sometime ago and ran into problems. I heard about PostmarketOS (which totally replaces Android) and spent quite some time finding my way through the documents.
I now am happy with it and published a guide for my old Nexus5
Not a core installation though, I use docker.
Might be worth a look if postmarketos is available for your phone,
Thanks for the guide and all the comments. Getting the server up and running took some time and sharpening of my linux commandline skills. But knowing python and having installed LineageOS already it wat doable. Main issue was python library dependancies which has already been highlighted above.
I recently had an issue where termux would crash (every 12hrs or so) with “failed to allocate memory”. After some trial and error, it was actually the termux boot causing an issue. Instead I now just open the bootscript manually instead of using the termux:boot app. I also pinned the termux app which hopefully also causes android to not reduce memory allowance. Its now been running smoothly for over a week or so.
Update: it worked fine for quite a while however storage limitations meant that I have switched to a mini pc with HAOS after reading many forum discussions. The easy updates and add-ons remove the headaches of supervised. Android is an easy platform to try if it’s your thing however.
Hi! I tried to follow the guide, but unfortunately when I tried to run ‘pip install homeassistant’ I got this error:
Could not build wheels for bcrypt, cryptography, orjson, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
The device I’m trying to install on is a Samsung S9 with Android 10.
Could someone help me out? Thanks
I have an error due to lru-dict dependency, because it doesn’t work with python 3.11, any way to solve it?

Hi @natsukiller,
The compilation error you shared is not related to Python 3.11 incompatibility. It’s because clang now detects function pointer mismatches (like GCC has done for ages).
Install a pre-release lru-dict by using:
pip install git+https://github.com/amitdev/lru-dict@5013406c409a0a143a315146df388281bfb2172d
To disable the incompatible pointer type warning, run:
CFLAGS=-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types pip install lru-dict

thank you it worked for me
My hack may cause segfaults. A proper solution is this:
Hello. i want to install ha on redmi s2. everything is installed, but when I try to start ha, it writes this:

what do i need to do? I’m a complete zero in programming, I installed according to the instructions
PS: ha is 2023.4.4. all other packages are also the latest versions
PSS: lru-dict installing from “CFLAGS=-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types pip install lru-dict”
A couple of months ago I was able to follow @gj9159a instructions to get HomeAssistant working on LineageOS 20 on Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.
However, I found Lineage rather sluggish when memory was tight, and have reflashed with crDroid 9.1 on Redmi Note 7 (ASOP based ROM), but when I try to install Home Assistant, I get the massive error output shown below when I try to install numpy (I’ve cut out a large chunk of the repetitive stuff in the middle).
Can anyone indicate if this is a compatibility issue with whatever packages & if there is a way to resolve it? Or if its a fundamental problem with trying to do this on a non-LineageOS ROM and I’ll have to reflash?

Hi @djdery,
Please uninstall lru-dict, and reinstall using:

Hi @smithbill17,
I ran into this error on Lineage 19.x, so don’t think you need to re-flash.
If you’re using the packaged Termux python 3.11, then try: pkg i python-numpy.
If not, you’ll have to build a patched package from the termux-packages repo.
