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

#13

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 ---

dpkg: error processing package homeassistant-supervised (--install):

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.

#14

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.
