I am quite new to HA, but I was running it for the last week with no issues and started building it up for my network. Have spent a lot of hours for the last 7 days. Today I had to do a VM shutdown and power on, after this HA is not opening up port 8123.
HA runs as a VM in Synology VMM on my NAS. It was on latest SW even before the shutdown. What I observe if I run a port scan for the IP is using is that following ports are ONLY open.
111
4357
5355
For typical operation I would expect on top of the above the following open ports 1400 (I think this is used for Sonos) and of course 8123 that is used for the GUI. However, none of these ports are up and in listen mode. Since HA is not listening on port 8123 it refuses any http connection for the GUI. This is not a firewall issue or routing issue. Is probably related with the HA VM not bringing up all services during boot. The banner command on the HA CLI seems fine as per screenshot. Tried supervisor repair and restarts but no luck.
If I create a new HA VM/installation from scratch it works fine and I can access the GUI but unfortunately I made the mistake of not creating a backup so trying to see if there is any option avoid spending endless hours again to recreate my config.
Any guidance is much appreciated. The obvious other option is to start from zero again but my concern is that this issue might happen again and I dont want to keep creating new HA installs and loading backups everytime the VM goes down or restarts (intentionally, e.g. NAS upgrade/restart) or un-planned for whatever reason.
It can take a while. The supervisor comes up first and eventually bring up core. When my Proxmox is rebooted, it’s about 20-25 minutes after power up before I have access to Home Assistant again. The Home Assistant VM comes up within 5 minutes of power on, but it takes a further 15-20 minutes before it’s actually usable.
I just leave it and it comes up on it’s own, despite usually initially complaining about not completing the setup stage of startup.
Rebooting JUST the Home Assistant VM, it takes about 5-10 minutes to come up. It’s just much much longer when it’s the whole Proxmox host that has been rebooted. And typically I have to reboot the HA VM once it has fully come up because it usually has lots of messages about things not loading properly. I might need to move the boot order of the VM to the end of the list so it comes up after everything else has come up. At the moment it comes up quite early, but after Pi Hole, MQTT and MariaDB.
yes login works, I can get to the OS directories. However, when I did run core check I got below but I dont know how to translate this error message and try to fix it
