Home assistant on QNAP TS-431 ARM fails to start up

[Wetzel402 (Cody)]

Hello all,

I am having trouble getting home assistant to boot on my QNAP NAS. I’ve followed the instructions here installing the arm build in container station. When starting up the console reports “: Unsupported system page size” so I added the following “JEMALLOC_DISABLE=true” to my environment but still get the same errors. The docker instance will always crash shortly after being started.

Here is the console output:

<jemalloc>: Unsupported system page size

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I’ve tried both ARM builds (armv7 & armhf) with and without the JEMALLOC_DISABLE environment variable.

To answer my own thread. I came across this commit on Github so I tried changing “JEMALLOC_DISABLE” to “DISABLE_JEMALLOC” and this resolved my issue. I already made a change to the official installation page to correct the confusion. My commit just needs to be accepted.

@Wetzel402

EMALLOC_DISABLE=true

Hi, I cant find in qnap where to do this?..
please help me out because i cant find the file…

greets mupsje

You are going to want to do something like this in Container Station.

[zerblatt007]

In case others searching for this too:
Took me a while to find that I must duplicate the container to add env variables in the GUI.

Thank you for this answer, this did the trick.
the only thing is now that i miss the add-on button, do you have a solution for that?
kind regards,

Add-ons require a managed instance of HA. Running HA core you can install most Add-ons or similar services as separate containers. For example I run a DuckDNS container, Linuxserver.io swag container, and ESPHome container to name a few.

yeah but some “addons” are special build like the “dutch gas prices” and “toogoodtogoo” etc…
How do you link those to the HA ?

Some addons will work by networking the container with the HA core container. Other times, you can find an alternative container or a HACS version of the addon.
