For the heck of i tried
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
It downloaded a few things but not enough to make HA install, if that was even part of the problem.
This is the first thing that goes wrong - and it is odd. Can you post the output of
ls -l /srv
just to see what the permissions on the directory is now.
pi@hassbian:~ $ ls -l /srv
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 9 17:10 homeassistant
I’m not sure how it got those permissions, but is should be possible to fix it with
sudo chown homeassistant:homeassistant /srv/homeassistant
sudo hassbian-config install homeassistant --force
This is all very odd though.

Thats the ticket! I can assure you I never messed with any permissions, so yes, it is odd as heck. I’m expecting my shiny new 128gb uh3 sdcard tomorrow and if it works without having to chown, I’ll update here.
But that worked, it installed, took about 10 minutes before I could access the create account page (as expected) and now I poke and prod and learn the intricacies of HA.
Thank you very much!

Why does HA hate me so much? I tried to setup my new sdcard and had to chown again but this time the install fails differently. I even tried repeating other steps like sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade but now I am stuck getting this:

Looks like a network problem.
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.

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.
//Matt
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 tried to access 192.168.0.xxx:8123 in the Chrome but nothing (This site can’t be reached).
- I tried: sudo systemctl start install_homeassistant.service
but got the error: Failed to start install_homeassistant.service: Unit install_homeassistant.service not found. - I tried: sudo hassbian-config install homeassistant --force
but got the error: sudo: hassbian-config: command not found
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!
