Seems I’m behind a double nat which I’m not certain I can get rid of. I was able to dmz the pi and I just finished the install.
Installation done..
Your Home Assistant installation is running at 192.168.1.226:8123 or if preferred http://hassbian.local:8123
I have the exact same issue. Downloaded image_2018-10-27-Hassbian, burned it an Sandisk card with Etcher and booted up on the RPi 3+ just fine. No home assistant running, even after a while.
Checked the directory as in this thread and it had the same permissions for root only.
Ran the chown command and restarted the setup and it’s moving along nicely now.

I have the same issue as well:
64GB Sandisk Ultra SD, Raspberry Pi 3B+, image_2018-10-27-Hassbian.zip, had to chown. Ran the install command again and it seems to work now.
Had Hassio running fine on the same SD & RPi before I moved to Hassbian.
I ran into this issue as well. It looks like the install_homeassistant.service does not start properly over wifi. I tried several time using and using systemctl status would show that the service would fail to start.
I flashed a new image and kicked it off connected via wire to Ethernet and everything launched as expected!
Seems like there may be a timing issue where wifi isn’t fully connected before the install_homeassistant.service is.
If you are experiencing this issue I would encourage to spin up a freshly flashed SD card and launch when connected via wire.
I’ve run into a similar issue - I’m using a Raspberry Pi B+ (very slow!) but it seems to boot, with the similar timeout issue in the first post - looking through the logs it talks about timing out after getting online (connectivity checked, it’s a bit slow but should not cause timeouts, and I’m hardwired to the router). I tried restarting the installer service but it again timed out. After a reboot to just make sure that it was not something else it seems to have deleted itself almost entirely? The homeassistant user does not have a .homeassistant folder, there’s nothing in /srv/ and I can’t run hassbian-config (it does not exist) - I’ve tried twice with different SD cards and I’m going to try a fresh install now on top of raspbian lite - fwiw: I managed to get the hassio image to work on this setup but it was just incredibly slow (as you can imagine) - hoping for a minor speed boost by removing some layers of virtualisation.
Hi @zimchaa . Got the same issue on first try today. And
helped me.
In case you try to use homeassistant on top of raspbian - it would be slower rather hasspbian.
Cheers.
I’ve run into the same issue. I’m using a RPI B+ too. The image is image_2018-10-27-Hassbian.zip
After a while, i’ve connected to RPI by PuTTY and did some command, ping some webpages (included home-assistant.io) and everything is ok.
But no HA:
I don’t know what’s wrong with it? Hope some help.
Thanks very much!
I’ve installed another image image_2018-03-16-Hassbian.zip and it’s Ok.
I am having this same damn problem!
First it was the wifi. Then the SD card. Now this error!
How did you “DMZ” your Pi?
same problem for hassbian 2018-10-27 image. Type your command and it work. Thanks!
i get error no have start home assistant, i wait 2 hour:

I am getting the same issue with trying to do a clean install using 2018-10-27-Hassbian img
It has been driving me absolutely potty. I have a new SD card (SanDisk) and am also behind a double NAT. I have tried the suggestion by @gpbenton but am getting absolutely nowhere.

Restarting Home Assistant
Checking the installation…Upgrade failed…
If you have issues with this script, please say something in the #devs_hassbian channel on Discord.
Is there any way to test this theory? Is it something elsewhere? I have been trying to get a fresh install up and running for about two days. I am nearly all out of ideas.
I have also tried the 2019 img. Which I did get up and runnning, but that version is having issues with the mosquitto hassbian-script.
A genius called @ludeeus helped on discord.
Needed to activate the virtual environment and reinstall the latest pip.
sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
cd /srv/homeassistant
python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
It upgraded from v 9.0.1 to 19.1
I’m not sure where this board falls on the profanity rules (Reddit vs Stack Exchange) but @ludeeus you are the mutha effing man! Manually updating PIP fixed the issues I was having getting Home Assistant running on my Pi Zero. I’m not sure if my initial problems were caused by the fact that I ONLY have wireless on it (nothing downloaded after having it up on the network for over a day, even though I had the wpa_supplicant.conf setup and it was online almost immediately after first boot.) After several failed attempts to force install_homeassistant.service, I went ahead and did the manual venv setup and it choked when trying to install aiohttp_cors. Somehow DuckDuck led me here, to you, you brilliant man.
Looks like it even automagically found some of my stuff just during the first boot.
Now I’m off to add the rest.
I want to report that I have the same exact issue with the 2019-04-14 image using Etcher on a Rpi 3b. Fixing permission and force install is the solution but this just didn’t work out of the box which is what it should be.
This work for me. Active the homeassistant.service => The front-end can be accessed.
Thanks. Upgrading pip also helped me solving this same problem on raspberry pi installation
