Home Assistant is creating .core Files in the config Folder

Wow! An entire day without any core files being generated, no reboots, no ill effects that I have noticed after upgrading to HassOS 2.11

For those of you plagued with core files, this HassOS version stops their creation.

Cameras are working and operational, along with all extra_arguments including cropping, as per above.

Try with input like:

input: -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://user:pass@IP/xy

Anyone else still having an issue with the FFMEPG component causing the HA container to crash + generate a core dump? I tried the rtsp_transport suggestion mentioned, but I still can’t view the tab containing 4 picture-glance / camera panels for more than a few minutes without HA crashing. Memory/CPU on the machine never exceeds 15%, so I don’t think it is resource related

Disregard - my issues went away after disabling the stream component.

HI please let me ask since this is on Hassio how you did that? I know about the update button in the Hassio menu of course, but figured that was for updating the Hassio version…
My instance is on 1.10 and uses 92.2…
Where can we find info on HassOS version?
thanks!

Sorry to take so long to reply.

Go to the Hass.io in the sidebar, and then select “System” from the menu bar across the top. On the “Host system” card, you should be able to see the system version you are running (mine says HassOS 2.11). There should be an “Update” button on that card if you are not running the latest.

Hi
Thanks. I’ve always assumed that update button was for updating Hassio… so never clicked it, since I updated Hassio through the Config tab.

What could be the reason for the system not to update the Hassos while Hassio does get updated??

The Hassio container still needs an operating system to run on. That operating system is HassOS. If you downloaded and installed Hassio a while ago then your operating system might be ResinOS.

Once the operating system is installed, it will not update when you update the container. When you upgrade Hassio from v0.93.2 to v0.94.0 you are upgrading the container only.

There is no direct upgrade from ResinOS to HassOS as far as I know. You would need to do a snapshot backup, install a fresh image on the SD card using Etcher and then restore that snapshot. I converted from ResinOS to HassOS when I had an SD card die on me, so I needed to restore from backup at that point anyway.

I hope that is clear - there is a difference between the container and the operating system it runs on.

thanks, and all clear :wink:

I it take when the system tab show this:

28

I am on Hassos…?

It does. Might be worth upgrading to the latest version. Take a snapshot backup before you do, just in case something goes wrong with the upgrade process.

Yes HassOS but you need to update that separately. It has nothing to do with hass.io

Think Debian and HA in a venv… updating HA won’t update Debian and updating Debian won’t update HA. Both are updated independently.

Ok I will…
that is, if I can find some documentation on the version history , would you know where to find that? Checked the Hassos GitHub, but couldn’t find any release notes of the sorts.

update

I just updated to 2.12 without any issue I can spot thus far … :wink: More than that, the system seems much more responsive, and my processor % has gone down significantly. 1st impression is fine indeed!
