Shamelessly copy/pasted without giving credits from here.

Yes, you wrote it out nIce, and I copied it back. Credit need to be given.

Supervisor update

@KingRichard I pretty much followed @francisp’s instructions for the RPI4 but just added: sed -i 's/buster/bullseye/' /etc/apt/apt.conf before: apt update and: apt-mark unhold linux-image-arm64 before: apt upgrade Nothing else, no fiddling with AgentOS or any other (config-)file. After a host reboot HA, but also Mosquitto, Samba, Portainer, Broadlink Manager etc. (Docker images, not Add-ons) came all back up nicely. And so did the Add-ons and all installed/activated integrations. As…

We all stand on each other shoulders.

Hello, I created a Debian11 VM on my proxmox server and now I get the following error message:

sudo bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kanga-Who/home-assistant/master/hassos_install.sh)"
bash: Zeile 62: pvesm: Kommando nicht gefunden.
numfmt: ungültige Zahl: „failure“

That script is a different script. Use this to install supervised on debian 11:

wget https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/releases/latest/download/homeassistant-supervised.deb

dpkg -i homeassistant-supervised.deb

@francisp

That script does not work any more

Ahhh, yes it does.

Debian11 VM on my proxmox server

You are trying to run the HA OS script on Debian - it won’t work.

Either follow the Debain 11 install guide, or, the Proxmox + HA OS guide.

[JeeCee (Jeroen)]

I agree, that’s why I‘m running HA supervised as a VM on Proxmox. I use supervised only to run ser2net (although still in planning phase).

[tomg1970]

I’m in the planning phase right now. Switching from IoBroker. What is the exact difference.
What is different with HA supervised?

[tomg1970]

Where can I find the correct installation instructions?

[kanga_who (Jason)]

You need to do some reading my friend. Start on the HA website.

This guide is to install HA Supervised using Debian 11 as the OS.

If you want to run a VM, using Proxmox, follow this guide.

[tomg1970]

Error on this point

[tomg1970]

Now i testet Proxmox Helper Scripts

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tteck/Proxmox/main/pve6_ha_container.sh)"

and now lxc is locked

pct unlock 107 

don´t unlock

[tteck (𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧)]

You ran a pve6 script, you’re on pve7

This has nothing to do with the OP topic

[tomg1970]

pve server reboot…its ok… what is login password

[tomg1970]

sorry its not my day

This is a strange decision. Docker isolates containers, that’s the whole point. Why on earth would installing another container would invalidate an install?

That and blacklisting Ubuntu… Debian hardware support is quite lacking and won’t enable the display adapter on my small server where I was running supervised HA on Ubuntu until some dev decided they hated Ubuntu. I can’t install Debian on that server. I’m now running the VM but I get random problems with home assistant dockers crashing and stopping for no reason. It’s very unstable compared to my previous Ubuntu setup.

Sad to see a successful open source project like this take the wrong track.

Maybe it’s time to fork the project.

Hello everyone.
I was using HA supervised version for quite some time on RPI4 4GB. until recently i got my RPI SD -Card crash. Since then i am trying all available things to reinstall HA supervised on both Debian 10 and 11 but unfortunately was unsuccessful. recent, the following installation guide i followed on for Debian 11

Everything went well as per the guide. but after the installation was unable to connect to the HA frontend. After diagnosing, i found the HA core is keep crashing in HA supervised.

I also tried to roll back to the previous core versions and later to the dev channel. But nothing worked out. I would really appreciate if someone can help me to understand where exactly is the problem and how i can get it fixed.

Many thanks in advance

I’d suggest to log an issue in the HA Supervised section on Github.

@DavidFW1960

and honestly who knows what bastardry is coming given the issue with ANY container made it unsupported only a couple of weeks ago after years with no issues…

Further to this, since there is no way to get back to supported again, I decided to add back watchtower to manage non-HA containers as I had been running before it made my system ‘unhealthy’ despite watchtower ignoring HA related addons etc. I have already set HA to ignore the unhealthy flag so now I am unsupported AND unhealthy but hopefully this won’t block any updates.
I note this week they have pulled the portainer addon from the addon store too. Lucky my system was already running the native portainer and displaying it in HA anyway via an iFrame. Let the games begin. I wonder what they will block next? ssh on the host maybe… cos that is WAY dangerous.

[moto2000 (David)]

Yea there was a long and semi heated discussion about the portainer add-on on GitHub. I ended up installing portainer from a different addon respository (alexbelgium), which is actually updated and maintained.

[DavidFW1960 (David)]

@moto2000

. I ended up installing portainer from a different addon respository

Yeah I never wanted it running as an addon anyway because if Supervisor had issues I couldn’t access it so I always ran the official portainer and it’s served me well. A third party repo isn’t that bad of an idea anyway. It would just be nice if user needs were considered and we were treated like adults. I don’t understand why dumbing this down is the highest objective. Novice users shouldn’t be using supervised anyway and if they do that’s on them.
