Installing Home Assistant Supervised on Debian 11 Bullseye

Installation
1

I am trying to install HA Supervised on Debian 11 but running into a problem when I get to the actual step of installing the .deb file.

Running dpkg -i homeassistant-supervised.deb results in the following message:

Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:60553->[::1]:53: read: connection refused

I have confirmed that this does not happen on Buster with the same Pi. I have also forced specific DNS servers such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, rebooted and restarted Docker with no success. Any help would be appreciated.

Here’s what I experience on Bullseye with build date 2021.08.23:

The error message you show definitely seem to indicate the DNS is pointing to localhost, though.

3

I don’t think that’s the case. I have verified that localhost is not used for DNS and I can execute docker run hello-world without an issue.

4

try this:


nmcli con edit "Home Assistant OS default"
set ipv4.dns 8.8.8.8
save
quit
ha host reboot

That’s actually how I set the DNS but I also set the option:

ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes
6

What does cat /etc/resolv.conf tells you?

7

I figured it out. The locale needs to be set for Bullseye before installing Docker.

I followed the instructions from this Serverfault answer including a comment that says to run update-locale LANG=en_US.utf8.

8

BTW, @koying and @francisp : I really appreciate you both trying to help. :grinning:

9

Err… I wonder how you linked that error message to a locale problem :joy:

10

I am having the same issue and don’t know too much about docker and settings Locales.
However I followed the instructions in the link but still no luck…

Did you need to uninstall Docker and OS Agent,
then set the Locale,
then reinstall Docker, OS Agent and homeassistant-supervised.deb?

11

You need to set the locale first and then reboot before installing Docker. That’s what worked for me.

Also, I think running apt upgrade at the moment will cause the HA install to crash Debian. Need to validate this further, but have not had time.

12

you can try my scripts to help you install it.

you can find it GitHub - tirtadji-com/rpi_debian_ha_supervised: Installation for official Debian running Home-Assistant Supervised

I came across this thread looking for a solution for the same error and solved it in a more radical way…
Was installing a fresh Debian 11 on my server and no matter what I was unable to download the containers (but hello world container downloads and run just fine):

--- version.home-assistant.io ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 30.098/30.098/30.098/0.000 ms

dpkg: error processing package homeassistant-supervised (--install):
 installed homeassistant-supervised package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 homeassistant-supervised

The error is probably related to DNS but even installing resolve.conf as service and set my DNS nameservers permanent dpkg/docker refused to install the containers.
Lucky me, I still had a copy of Buster’s iso… I’ve installed it again, did a complete installation process for the supervisor with no errors and then I’ve updated the distro to Bullseye.
All it had taken was 20-25 more minutes including merging my HA backup and now all is updated and is working fine.

F.

Has anyone else been able to fix this issue?

I tried reconfiguring the locale and even the installed Debian using us UTF 8 as the main locale but no luck.

It seems to be an issue with the installation script trying to use IPv6 DNS to resolve to the docker.io address.

15

Yep, Install HA OS.

Lol, yeah I was trying to avoid that.

It is my last resort option. I’m migrating from a raspberry to a mini pc so I’m not in a hurry. I’ll give it a few more tries before I give up.

17

Proxmox that PC and decouple everything. :wink:

18

Ok, for future reference. I did a few changes before installing Docker:

  1. Fresh Debian 11 install
  2. Disabled IPv6 from my network
  3. Used the instructions here to set resolv.conf Bug Report: Can't install homeassistant-supervised.deb - issue Hi,Github
  4. Reboot
  5. Followed steps from the supervised installation up to before running homeassistant-supervised.deb (another reboot just in case)
  6. Run Docker pull homeassistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:latest
  7. Run dpkg -i homeassistant-supervised.deb
  8. Cross fingers

That worked for me!!

All this did not help.
Found a simple workaround.
Edit /etc/hosts and add
140.82.121.34 ghcr.io
185.199.108.154 pkg-containers.githubusercontent.com
etc.

Had the same issue Debian Bullseye

This
140.82.121.34 ghcr.io
worked for me

Thanks
