Installation Owntracks: Unknown error occurred

Installation
1

I had Owntracks installed but I moved HA from a Raspberry to a Virtual machine on Hyper-V with Duckdns. Owntracks didn’t function anymore so I removed the integration.
Now I try to install Owntracks again (clean installation) but I immediately got an message ‘Unknown error occurred’.

I got one message in the log that probably could be related to the issue:

Does somebody has an advise?

Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue. Been trying to install multiple times over the last month. Eventually went down the correct rabbit hole.

At least for me, I am using duckdns and I had not set the internet address for the Home Assistant URL (under Settings>System>Network). My issue with installing this went away after that.

I was also unable to install another Integration, and that helped me identify what the problem was…Official SmartThings Integration: Error Config flow could not be loaded: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble

Good luck

Thanks for your reply . Problem solved by adding ‘homeassistant’ section in config.yaml:

’

homeassistant:
  name: Huis
  unit_system: metric
  currency: EUR
  country: NL
  time_zone: "Europe/Amsterdam"
  external_url: "https://xxxxx.duckdns.org:8123"
  internal_url: "http://192.168.1.10:8123"

’

Specific the URL links will help.
