I cant seem to install HA is the file server down or something?

i cant seem to install HA is the file server down or something? i did a clean install on the sd card… and i left it over night and its still stuck on 20 min… is it a glitch in the os its not setting up… or does it connect to a website to setup files and if so is it down?

as my one rpi couldnt update properly there was a critical error HA said… and ha was outta wack if i rebooted… the uptime said 2 days and time was a day or 2 prior… so i decided to format and restart over and install fresh… but now i stuck on 20min

i get the login and ip on the console side…

the only error i get is wait until kernal time sync that one fails every time whatever that is

Everything appears to be operational: https://status.home-assistant.io/

Must be a network issue your end. Do you have DNS blocking like pihole or AdGuard?

Your system is waiting on an NTP time server sync from the internet but is not receiving it.

ive tried 2 pis on 2 network cables and internet works and
so my steps were

  1. have tried both etcher and raspi installer to install HA
    then i boot up and i goto the website and it then says the takes up to 20 min
    if i have a screen plugged into the pi i get to the login screen
    and thats it it never sets up
    so i wanted to know if its not connecting to a website to download or maybe something corrupt in the os … this happening on 2 pis now i tried

as for blockage i do use pfblocker on pfsense… and then goes through NordVPN but internet works… i only decicded to reinstall HA on my one pi… cuz it was getting that cricial error and the link to the HA page said tried restarting… and it didnt help then said tried Host Restart… and that didnt help so i have deiceded to try a clean install… and im stuck at the 20 min mark all night long

so i figured maybe it needs to connect to the website to download files… or maybe something corrupt in the OS? i dunno so this stuck is now on 2 pi’s and internet is working

so the kernal clock error is from ntp time server? or the issue my pi was having that when i reboot pi it would say up time is 2 days… yet it was only say 10 min…

but now i got 2 pis stuck on 20 min and its been like that 10 hours now anyway to know whats blocking it from updating? a corrupt file in the setup or what not … cuz now i cant install HA twice

as i go
internet ==> pfsense===> nordvpn---- to all clients
i do have a dmz… i tred it too… still stuck on the 20 min mark

i thought maybe broken pi but its doing it to 2 pis so figured maybe website it downloads initi files or a corrupt in the file?

my main home assistant… i can goto terminal and ping so i know it has internet…

i put the 2 pis with the fresh burned HA installs… and they are stuck so it has internet there

i been struggling 24 hours now to try to install HA and still stuck so i not sure what to do

Yes, on first boot the system checks to see if it has the latest versions of core, OS and supervisor. It downloads them if needed. It also syncs the time.

Something is blocking this. Check your pfsense logs.

what would i be looking for in pfsense logs… as i not sure… cuz i have tried

rebooting pfsense my network switch computers modem. and still stuck

if you know pfsense which log would i look at and what would i be looking for

I do not know pfsense.

ah ok…
cuz this started a week ago… one HA setup had critical error where the website link said tried a couple things… that didnt solve it so i tried yesterday to format the sD card and and start fresh and here i am still stuck now 2 pis at 20 min for more then 10 hours

i also was hoping you could copy the backup zip file to the sd card… and HA would take it on a new install and set it up from the zip file… but the windows shows its only like 30 meg boot … so you cant even copy to it

ill look in the logs but i have no idea what i looking for … is there anything on the console… you type to see whats broken etc

gonna re try reboots.

so nothing

on the console side
i typed

login
ping 1.1.1.1
reply was
1.1.1.1 is alive!

i typed
ha core update

reply was
command completed sucessfully

i typed
ha supervisor update

reply was
error: update of supervisor failed: cant install gbcr… 500 server error…

i tried
ha supervisor install
and it gave a list of things

so i not sure what to look for etc

I don’t get why people first make things un-necessarily complicated without the knowledge of what they are using/paying for, and then wonder why things don’t work nor can figure what’s wrong…

:thinking:

not sure what thats supposed to mean…

but my main vm Ha working fine

the raspberry pi version of ha broke a week ago after 2 yrs running… and i cant get past the 20 min wait time on 2 pi i trying to install ha on

reason i asked if the HA install is corrupt or what it connects to to set itself up…

i didnt configure nothing wrong

looks to me like a DNS issues, wouldn’t surprise if if it’s a IP6 issue on DNS (try disabling IP6?)
(but can’t say for sure, ‘gbcr’ is a bit short to work with)

ill check if ip6 is enabled on pfsense it shouldnt be i usually have all that disabled .but ill check

so for the gbcr it goes

gbcr.io/home-assistant/aarch64-hassio-supervisor:2023.01.1: 500 server error for http+docker//localhost/v1.41/images/create?tag=2023.01.1&fromimage=gbcr.io%2fhome-assistant%2faarch64-hassio-supervsior&platform=linux%2Farm64: internal server error (“get “https://gbcr.io/v2/”: x509: cerficate has expired or is not yet valid: current time 2022-07-14100:45:002 is before 2022-07-i9t00:00:002”)

i probably got some letters mixxed up as i typed it as i read it off the screen… and i have no ip6 enabled

sorry, clueless… can’t find any relevant reference to gbcr.io in ha’s code:

We couldn’t find any code matching ‘gbcr’ in home-assistant/core

We couldn’t find any code matching ‘gbcr’ in home-assistant/home-assistant.io

in the ha discord they type me to type
ha su logs
i couldnt upload pics there but here are some screen shots from my cell





so i typed
timedetectl and timedetectl timesync-status and here the screen shots and i tried pinging time.cloudfare.com it doesnt work on any computer

i tried making a file on the boot ssd
timesyncd.conf
[Time]
NTP=192.168.0.1

but that didnt help
cant get this damn thing installed… and i cant seee any problems for ntp…

i dunno why when you choose to install the HA that the program is downloaded… that needs internet to download more files… shouldnt it be like a windows exe file you download the program and you install it cuz its downloaded…

so stuck cuz i cant find a problem and trying to get timesyncd.conf to just point to pfsense instead

Hello guys, I’ve been facing extremely slow setup times as well.

Turns out ghcr.io has been excruciatingly slow for me. You can verify if that’s the case by checking what is being downloaded on logs using ha-cli: su logs, followed by manually pulling the docker image.

I’ve found the downloading of image slow - despite my 900Mbps up and downlinks. Everything else seemed fine tho, didn’t get any errors whatsoever as per screenshots above.

Have you tried turning off your firewall and restarting the pi?

Once the pi finishes its NTP sync you can turn the firewall back on.

Though you will have to learn how to use it to add a rule to allow NTP through to prevent your system time eventually drifting.
