after rebooting the rPI HA is not starting. how can i solve this?
thanks,
I was going to suggest re-running the install script as that would pull the latest image again, but seems you got it sorted.

What sort of Pi are you using? 3 or a 4?
Without any means to hitchhike your specific question/problem. But did you do an OS-update just before the reboot?
Running HA on a
- Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB
- SSD KINGSTON V400 120GB inside a
- ORICO USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 HDD Enclosure 2159C3-G2
All used to work seamlessly and without any hiccups with this installation method.
Just as a report about some problems I ran into after routinely checking for system updates which I do once a week:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove –y
After the update-process has finished Home Assistant quit working.
So I did a couple of OS-restarts but that did not help. Debian itself was booting without problems and SSH-access to the CLI worked. Just HA didn’t start.
So I decided to redo the whole process as per the instructions here which finished without errors. Nevertheless, the initial Logon/Restore from Snapshot-prompt took ages to load but finally did. All well I thought and after a complete Restore of the final snapshot and some fine-tuning I initiated another system reboot.
Which brought me back to: Debian itself was booting without problems and SSH-access to the CLI worked. But HA didn’t start…
So I stopped Docker, deleted all images and Volumes and finally removed Docker itself to redo all clean.
However, similar to the first attempt I was able to Logon into HA after an extended loading time but after a system reboot all went back to square 1: HA did not load to the end.
Unfortunately I missed to record the relevant log-entries to the latter but it has something to do with resolving names (HA’s internal DNS-server is not starting).
Today I have read an article reporting about some (breaking) changes to Docker which just received an update from version 19.03 to version 20.10. This update already found its way into the Debian 10 repos and was also installed with the latest system update.
Especially the changes to the settings for the hostname and the ports caught my attention since this is now done automatically by Docker. Additionally Docker 20.10 is now supporting cgroup v2 instead of cgroup v1 which is managing CPU-load, memory, storage and networking in a different way.
I suspect there are some incompatibilities between HA Supervised on Raspi Pi with Debian 10 and Docker 20.x which renders this installation method hard to use for the time being.
Unfortunately I am not very familiar with the Docker-world an therefore sadly I am unable to look into this by myself.
Interesting, thanks for the info. You should be able to install the correct version of Docker-ce by executing the following.
sudo apt install docker-ce=5:19.03.13~3-0~debian-buster
Let me know if that works.
OK, Just updated my test system and got the 20.x Docker update as you noted. Rebooted the machine after updating, HA did not auto-start, although I could manually start it using Portainer.
So, I did the following for testing purposes;
sudo apt remove docker-ce
sudo apt autoremove --purge -y
sudo reboot
When the Pi comes back online;
sudo apt install docker-ce=5:19.03.13~3-0~debian-buster
sudo apt-mark hold docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io #thanks @jaalperin
sudo reboot
HA Came back up and running as normal.

Same problem as Tamsy. Been running supervised/Debian for months on two pi4 and one Lenovo m93p. Today I apt updated then upgraded to containerd.io/buster 1.4.3-1 from 1.3.9-1, docker-ce-cli/buster 5:20.10.0~3-0~debian-buster from 5:19.03.14~3-0~debian-buster, and docker-ce/buster 5:20.10.0~3-0~debian-buster from: 5:19.03.14~3-0~debian-buster. After rebooting the supervisor was unavailable and none of the addons were running. Thanks to TimesShift I was able to restore the older versions and get running again. So, I suggest folks stay with 5:19.03.14 and do not upgrade to 5:20 (sudo apt-mark hold docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io).

That seems logical and should solve it. I am still at work now but will do the downgrade to Docker 19 and the following steps soon after an report back. Thank you for the solutions, kanga_who and jaalperin.
thanks for the fast replies…
Sorry about the few informations i have gave you…
I am on raspbian Buster 32 Bit.
therefore i used this during installation:
curl -sL “https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kanga-Who/home-assistant/master/supervised-installer.sh” | bash -s – -m raspberrypi4
without the “-64”
downgrading the docker version resolved also my issue! thanks!!
on raspbian I had to use:
sudo apt install docker-ce=5:19.03.14~3-0~raspbian-buster
thanks to all

Thanks for the informative guide. I just wanted to get some help with the supervised installer script.
I have a Pi 4 and when I run the script, it stops after “Restarting Network Manager” with “Invalid Reference Format”
Do you know what could be going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
I’ve seen that somewhere else recently. Something to do with a network issue and the HA container not downloading correctly, can’t remember exactly. Try re-running Step 2.1 from the start again.
Started having issues once again after a couple hours due to the docker update. Retried one more time to re-install from scratch using these commands at the end and everything now works 100% successfully. Thanks!
Should be thanking this docker issue though, it forced me to redo my install and upgrade to a supported distro finally

Thank you for this guide! It all went well for me except for minor issues (I needed to install sudo, wget, and unzip).
One problem came up, though. When the computer is rebooted, only the hassio_observer container automatically restarts. I can manually start the homeassistant and hassio-supervisor containers, and everything works. Did I miss a step?
Hello, for a fresh install of home assistant, this guide is ok???
Thank you so much. I thought my fresh HA installation was effed because I used the guide to install HA 64 bit on Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit.
In order to revive my installation I had to
sudo apt remove docker-ce docker-ce-cli
sudo apt autoremove --purge -y
sudo reboot
and now for the finale with a different minor version
sudo apt install docker-ce-cli=5:19.03.14~3-0~debian-buster
sudo apt install docker-ce=5:19.03.14~3-0~debian-buster
sudo apt-mark hold docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
sudo reboot
After restarting HA showed the installation screen followed by the login but asked me to grant permission for using the current installation by typing my login.
Is that expected?
In the end I was greeted by the expected page of my configured devices.

This sounds like the docker issue that has come up in the last few days. I would try running the docker version and steps in this post: Installing Home Assistant Supervised on Debian 10
The steps are already linked in this thread, post 42. 
Yep, that did the trick, thanks!
With the previous installation, hassio_observer was running after a reboot, but not homeassistant nor hassio_supervisor. I could manually start them, and it would continue working normally. So maybe a minor configuration adjustment is all that is needed.
Excuse me if I repost my question…but I don’t know how to act for a fresh install.
Please anyone can help me???
I’ve to follow this guide???
Or After curl -fsSL get.docker.com | sh I’ve do downgrade before install home assistant?
Thank you
