Installing Home Assistant Supervised on a Raspberry Pi using Debian 12

Patrick010 · July 14, 2022, 7:53pm

Supposedly apparmor was enabled in the kernel, but still got problems, so I installed, just to be sure. Problems gone

Patrick010 · July 14, 2022, 7:56pm

Lucky for you, there’s a search option…https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/49009#issuecomment-860020095

haze.1986 · August 12, 2022, 2:21pm

Can anyone share how to disable starting up of home assistant installed using this method?

rrrr1234 · August 14, 2022, 3:44pm

I understand the install does not work. Here is my 3rd log from a Pi 3, maybe it will help.
Looking forward to a fix, thanks!

You’ve used the Bookworm (Debian 12) image, which is not yet supported. You need to use the Debian 11 Bullseye image, as per Section 1.

You want this one. 2022.01.21 11 (Bullseye) 3 3B+

Tamsy · August 15, 2022, 12:40am

There is no fix for the issue you are facing with the RPI3 since nothing is broken here.

Maybe you really should follow the OP’s advice within the very first paragraph and

However, coming back to the issue you are facing. Please pay close attention to the topic of this thread. Especially when it comes to which Debian version is to be installed. I count the latter pointed out five times even before starting with “Section 1”.

Does the above fit-in with the Debian version to be installed according to this thread?

Mofef · September 7, 2022, 10:57pm

i followed this guide exactly, just that my raspi 3B is booting with PXE from NFS. Sadly the system losses the network connection as soon as the supervisor container is started. I supecting that the network is being reset by the supervisor and thus i’m loosing the terminal and hassio is loosing its root fs… is that a known issue? I can’T really imagine i’m the first one trying to run supervised hassio from a network booted pi…?

kanga_who · September 7, 2022, 11:09pm

You haven’t though.

This is outside the scope of the guide.

Mofef · September 10, 2022, 9:18pm

Dude… why be such a pain? Did i offend you? In case I did I’m sorry about that.

“, just that” sounds like i’m introducing a reservations about my previous statement, doesn’t it?
I’m aware of deviating from your guide. And I’m not complaining at you or at your guide. Its fantastic and i’m grateful you wrote it. Obviously its my personal problem if i want to do it differently and clearly i have no claim for help.

But if anyone has an idea why it doesn’t work, what the supervisor does when it starts that might cause the issue, or what I could try to make it work anyway – and wants to share it – that would be very nice. Is there something wrong with asking that here?

petro · September 11, 2022, 5:40pm

Looking for some advice from the debian experts here. Normally I can solve these issues myself w/ google. However I’m running into an issue.

Today, I noticed I’m getting connectivity_check unsupported in the system health. So, I enabled it however, it doesn’t appear to enable. I run

sudo busctl set-property org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager ConnectivityCheckEnabled b true

The logs NetworkManager logs show

Sep 11 13:33:18 NUC NetworkManager[482]: <info>  [1662917598.8344] audit: op="networking-control" arg="connectivity-check-enabled" pid=7460 uid=0 result="success"

however when I simply check the parameter (sudo or not)…

busctl get-property org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager ConnectivityCheckEnabled

it returns

b false

I’ve tried setting it with 1, true, and various other CLI routes to set this. What am I missing? How can I set this and move on?

Tamsy · September 12, 2022, 12:58am

I don’t use the RPI with HA anymore so this is a shot in the dark …

However, if I correctly recall the latter there has been a change back in March regarding that pesty unhealthy/unsupported status with the HA update in March. It is linked to an installed/active avahi-daemon which is not/should not be used anymore after changes to HA since 2022.3.x and which leads to that unhealthy/unsupported HA installation. systemd-resolved is to be used instead and avahi-daemon has to be disabled.

Have you checked whether avahi-daemon is running on you RPI?

sudo systemctl status avahi-daemon

If avahi-daemon is indeed running/loaded do:

sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon.service
sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon.service

Recheck to make sure the avahi-daemon has stopped:

sudo systemctl status avahi-daemon.service

If the service has been successfully stopped then do:

sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved

and make sure it has started correctly:

sudo systemctl status systemd-resolved

If it has do:

sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved

and reboot the host system thereafter.

I hope this helps.

kanga_who · September 12, 2022, 1:15am

I’m not offended, I merely pointing out that what you are trying to achieve is outside of the scope of this guide and therefore getting support in this thread is unlikely.

Your use case is an extremely uncommon way to be running.

petro · September 12, 2022, 1:20am

I’m not running a pi, running on a NUC. This ended up working. I did have the avahi-daemon service running and disabling did the trick. How’d you know that was running?

Tamsy · September 12, 2022, 1:23am

I was just guessing Back in March I received a pm asking for help with a similar problem and we got it sorted out with my above instructions

petro · September 12, 2022, 1:23am

I spoke too soon. After a bit, went back to unsupported. I just checked the connectivitycheckenabled and it’s still false. Oddness all around. I’m thinking it’s time to move to docker. Been putting that off for… years now.

Tamsy · September 12, 2022, 1:32am

Did you run

ha jobs reset healthy

at any time before?

This has to be undone.

To solve this check for the file “jobs.json”

sudo locate jobs.json

The output should be: /usr/share/hassio/jobs.json

sudo cat /usr/share/hassio/jobs.json

If it shows:

{
“ignore_conditions”: [
“healthy”
]
}

do:

sudo cp -Rp  /usr/share/hassio/jobs.json  /usr/share/hassio/jobs.json.orig
sudo rm -f /usr/share/hassio/jobs.json

Now restart host:

sudo systemctl reboot

Empty browser cache: ctrl+F5

petro · September 12, 2022, 1:38am

Nope, never ran that before. That file doesn’t exist either.

petro · September 12, 2022, 1:42am

It’s definitely still being reported by the supervisor. Warning still exists in the logs. Any other services that could possibly cause conflicts?

Tamsy · September 12, 2022, 1:54am

Strange indeed. The above is the only solution I can offer and it has worked for some users including me.

Maybe it is time to either do a fresh install or move to docker.

BTW.: Using HA Supervised on a mini pc. Where has the page to check on system health etc. moved to? I am unable to find it

petro · September 12, 2022, 1:55am

it’s temp (?) buried on the system → repairs → 3 dots → system health

Yeah, I’m torn about both. I ran unsupported for 8 months because I knew attempting to fix it would lead to more problems. I updated from buster to bullseye, I wager something went wrong in that process. I’m also not sure if I originally installed it correctly, it was ~2017/2018 when I did it/. I installed prior to the current installation method for supervisor, and I knew a lot less back then.

FWIW, when I run the command used to perform the check, it comes back full.
