I don’t know if I have a volume mounted or not …
What exactly should I do in my case, Debian VM with docker containers …?
Thank you
Then I guess you haven’t and you are resetting you HA installation with every restart.
Please follow the guidelines to set-up HA in any flavor you like.
Sorry but I don’t quite understand …
HA does not reset on every start. The config files and the modifications are taken into account.
I left the files in the default directory: / config.
It’s not good ?
About 5-10seconds to restart for me
With docker containers ?
Yes, HA Container, no VM, no Hass OS, no Supervisor.
Supervised install on Debian 10, so yes docker containers.
where is your config stored? in a mounted volume?
Host directory bind-mounted to /config.
So on my Synology, I create a shared directory that I mount on the Debian VM and that I indicate in the path PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG?
docker run -d --name = "home-assistant" -v /mnt/syno/config: / config -v / etc / localtime: / etc / localtime: ro --net = host homeassistant / home-assistant: stable
Assuming the spaces are unintentional, that’s the way to run Home Assistant Container and you should find a file configuration.yaml in that shared directory.
indeed, spaces are not intentional.
I used this doc for installation and it’s not written anywhere, wonder …?
I have no experience with HA OS or Supervised installation, I run HA Container on Ubuntu and Rasbian. Just works and definitely does not take 20 mins to restart.
My experience with long start times was because of the size of the recorder database. If you can tail the HA log, you will see messages about recorder taking a long time.
I have moved my recorder database to an external PostgreSQL database which solved the problem.
External database server makes a huge difference. As does running of an SSD rather than an SD card
My Pi4 setup is on an SSD - still very slow starting up with the internal database.
Some of the database files get rather large.

I think I have identified the problem. In my opinion, this was from an RFXCom 433 integration whose device had been physically disconnected from the server. HA was looking for this device and after a timeout, I got the hand back.
Now restarting takes 1 to 2 minutes.
What database do you use?
I use the mariadb addon
I’m using PostgreSQL in a ProxmoxVE container on a separate device on my LAN.
