I’ve used to run Debian on my RPI4 and have never seen ifupdown on that. Could be that the vanilla Debian for RPI don’t ship with ifupdown?
I’ve always been running wired. As soon as the HA install is finished, the connection dies and I get a ton of DNS errors in the log, but if I comment out those two lines, everything is working perfect (except I can’t set a fixed ip in the frontend)
So I should just omit the avahi? or is there anything else to be installed instead?
Ok, as I’ve got some clearance on how to resolve healthy/unsupported, I still would like to know how I would get the docker-compose installed without breaking my NetworkManager?
@kanga_who are you able to assist me on this? Great tutorial by the way
summary:
Installed HA using this but I have a problem with the IP address assignment.
Once I installed Debian 11, IP is being assigned by my modem without any issues (tried host restart too), but once I install HA and restart the host, it is not being assigned an IP address. Solved this by assigning a static IP address, but DNS is still not working.
Any help would be appreciated
yeah he is very helpful… but did not work but now i am seeing that he replied again. will check again later on cause i am out now. also any ideas related why the nuc is not getting an ip from the modem once ha installed?
If supervisor detects any containers running which were not created and started by it then it marks your system as unsupported. So if your goal is to remain on a supported system I’m not sure what value there is in installing docker-compose. Even if you manage to figure out a way to get it installed on a supported system, all the things it can do will mark your system as unsupported. Seems like a futile exercise but maybe I’m missing something.
The system always say internal error. Always when I update docker, when it’s finishing the update, say restarting docker, restarting portainer, restarting home assistant, error encountered home assistant supervised. Internal error. And after that stop. I can use the docker, portainer and open media vault but it is impossible to update.
Im going to try to install promox and make 2 virtual machines, one for home assistant and another for the rest.
Reason for asking is that I want to run Frigate in a separate container rather than using the addon due to some configurable parameters not available within the addon.
I’ve now installed docker-compose and it works perfect (though as you say, marks HA as unsupported). But I assume I can use the command to do any updates even if marked unspported, ref 4) in the instructions.
Possibly. It’s unsupported so not really sure what will or won’t work. There is no testing is done on unsupported configurations, automated or manual. You’re welcome to run that way but generally speaking you now are sole support for your installation, home assistant does not provide it anymore.
If this was all just for one addon missing a few options did you consider just adding those options? As a PR to frigate preferably but if you aren’t comfortable with that you can simply fork it and modify it’s config file in your fork. Then add your fork as an addon repo instead of the normal frigate one and install from there. Maintenance is mostly likely just rebasing from the upstream periodically.
Or if you find the fork impractical for some reason (maybe if it has a lot CI that doesn’t work in your fork or something) then just clone frigate into your /addons folder and modify it there. Any addons in that folder are treated as local addons. HA will build the image and attach it to a container according to its config.yaml like any other addon.
Each of these latter two options will still result in frigate being run with your desired config but your system will still be supported. The only thing you’ll be fully responsible for supporting is your addon (and even then only if you can’t reproduce issues you encounter in the normal frigate addon). But it’s your call, whichever you prefer.
I use a custom storage location for my docker, so it is not my OS drive on my nas, but the replicated storage area.
When I follow this guide, it seems to reinstall docker & portainer and remove all my containers and stop them. They simply disappear. If I reverse all the steps and uninstall portainer and docker, then reinstall I get them all back right where I left off.
When I follow these steps the create user page starts, so I am assuming that the installation worked perfectly.
I think in the deb package it might be specifying the docker storage location and it is changing it. Does anyone know about this? This is a new NAS and a new install, and driving me crazy.
Running other containers alongside home assistant which aren’t addons isn’t supported in a supervised install. If you want to run other things which aren’t addons then you should be using container not supervised.
