Install on RPI 3 of resinos-hassio-1.1-raspberrypi3.img fails

Hi
This is my first installation of this but I seem to having trouble getting going.
I have installed resinos-hassio-1.1-raspberrypi3.img on a Pi 3 hard wired to my router
I boots fine and I can then browse to it and see the screen saying installing may take 20 minutes.
Then it reboots and appears to be active i.e network lights flashing etc.
After about 30 minutes all seems quiet. I can ping it but cannot browse to it.
Waited over and hour and still nowt.
Re-imaged card tried again and the same happened.
Any suggestion as to what I should try next SHH is refused!

SHH is not enabled, because you didnt install the addon, your hass will be reached by ipadress:8123

That is problem, it cannot be reached by ipaddress:8123
It pings but I cannot browse to it, and as you say SSH is disabled I cannot access it.
What should I try next ?

I ran into the same “problem.” The issue, as noted, is that SSH is disabled by default on Hassio (and newer versions of Raspbian or at least Lite–but not Hassbian).

I’m pretty new to this myself, but it appears that to enable this feature on a headless server, you need to create a file called “ssh” at the root of the SD card. This is probably most easily done from the other computer (though if you have the means to do so, you could definitely temporary connect a USB keyboard and HDMI display to the Pi itself while on and either do this or manually enable SSH yourself).

If your “other computer” is a Mac, you can do this by inserting the SD card, verifying that the SD card volume mounts and is labeled “boot”, then launching Terminal and typing cd /Volumes boot, hitting Enter, and then touch ssh, which will create a blank file there (adjust as needed if your volume name is different). On Windows you can do something similar, though it’s probably easiest to just open Notepad and save a blank file called “ssh” (make sure it doesn’t try to add a .TXT extension) to the root of whatever drive the card mounts as.
