My (outdated) Quick Start for Home Assistant Core on FreeNAS 11.2

troy · September 20, 2019, 8:53pm

With the manual install the could be any number of things missed to prevent HA from starting. Also it can take 2-3 minutes for HA to start for the first time… or even longer depending on how old your PC is.

You can check if HA is running from the terminal. Starting from FreeNAS

iocage console homeassistant
service homeassistant status

Really the best thing is to use the script. It might be quicker to help you with that if HA is not running correctly, since there are less steps involved. Really it only takes a few minutes to just start over with a fresh jail rather than troubleshoot a new install.

Did you have to do this inside the jail or on FreeNAS?

@Koen

I just ran a test of the scripted-install on FreeNAS 11.2-U6. I did not have an errors and HA is up and running. If you are still having trouble please destroy your existing jail and I can help you with the scripted install.

Koen · September 23, 2019, 11:15am

Hi @troy

I have no clue what I am doing wrong, but I will try again. maybe my entire jail is set up wrong. I will contact you via message, to prevent flooding this threat with unnecessary replys.

But to respond to your question:

Did you have to do this inside the jail or on FreeNAS?

It was on the FreeNAS itself, not inside a jail.

Cheers

@Koen is this the line you had an issue with

sudo iocage fstab -a homeassistant "/mnt/tank/user/hass /home/hass nullfs rw 0 0"

if so then you had the same issue I had

either way I’d say trouble shooting the scripted install is much easier then attempting the manual one. I ran through the scripted version 3 or 4 times and @troy was very helpful in getting me through it.

Koen · September 24, 2019, 6:59pm

@troy and @Skeletor

Hi, I just tried to do it again, after deleting the whole iocage dataset (meanwhile installed nextcould before retrying) It worked like a charm. Now I had no issue at all.

Thanks for your time and your effort of making a manual like this!!

Cheers!

Koen · September 25, 2019, 12:51pm

Hi,

I just want to say that I did use another totally different approach. I saw, when I installed this build, that it is not like Hass.io which I really like. It was very convenient to use and setup additional services like Mosquitto, Samba share, DuckDNS with Let’s Encrypt for access from outside.

An excessive search led me to this post which uses a Virtual Machine inside Freenas. It was just like a Raspberrypi and in 4 hours I had everything working. (From no VM to a hassio VM and ported everything from my in-use RPI to the new VM).

Maybe this is also more suitable for other people.

Cheers,
Koen

Is anyone else using the Neato integration. It broke after 0.96.5 due to locale issues. I skipped updating until the bugs were closed.

I just tried updating again to 0.100.2 and the same neato locale issue is still present. The locale in the hassassistant jail was “C” and for user hass was “C”. It is easy enough to set root with setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8. I may end up trying this

for the hass user. I’m not sure if that will survive upgrades though. There has to be a better solution to fix this issue. It has not gone away.

I posted the main message in another thread:

Thought I would ask the FreeNAS people here. I posted the whole error in the other thread, but provide a small portion below.

I did my install using the instructions here:

I had an error trying to setup zwave.

Just for record I got it working posted what I did in the other thread, since I was getting some responses there.

Dario_Lemes_Gonzalez · October 31, 2019, 3:24am

Followed all the steps of “iocage standard-jail – Scripted Install” to detail and after everything completed i can get port :8123 to come up. Rest of the ports (5050, 3218) work no problem but i can’t get 8123 to come online.

Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

troy · October 31, 2019, 5:33pm

I’m not sure what you mean when you say you can get port 8123 to come up but not come online.

I assume this is a clean install? Did you use the “example” configuration offered by the script? or are you trying to use a pre-existing configuration directory?

Can you try this. ssh into your FreeNAS or however you get to it’s console. Then:

iocage console homeassistant
service homeassistant stop
mv /home/hass/homeassistant /home/hass/homeassistant.old
service homeassistant start

This will basically factory reset HA and cause it to load it’s own default configuration. All previous configuration will be kept safe in the homeassistant.old directory. Curious if you can start and access HA with clean default settings.

Dario_Lemes_Gonzalez · October 31, 2019, 11:35pm

Hello @troy

This is what I’m getting.

I followed your instructions and still get that. Below you have a copy of the logs. Any idea?

Thanks

troy · November 1, 2019, 1:20am

ugh… I just ran through myself. I get the same error… Something is in fact broke. I’ll try to get this tracked down and fixed asap. Was planning to update this soon anyways. (switch to python 3.7 and some small changes) I have a few more weeks of busy work schedule before I can work on that update but I’ll see what I can do to at least get the script working again until then. Sorry for the inconvenience.

troy · November 1, 2019, 3:27am

So I found a few things going on here. Both issues appear in HA 0.101.

First is breaking change to my “out of the box” configuration for appdaemon and configurator. Since these both rely on the old api password (user were expected to change this anyways) but now this entry will cause config validation to fail.

Second I do not know why the hass_front-end will not load from a clean install to ha 0.101.

HA version 0.100.3 will still work as expected. Here’s what you can do to get up and running.

First log back into your FreeNAS console. Then:

iocage console homeassistant
service homeassistant stop

Now we change to user hass and downgrade to homeassistant 0.100.3

su - hass
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant==0.100.3
deactivate && exit

service homeassistant start

So now you should be able to reach homeassistant on port 8123.

Next (if your using example config I provide) you need to edit configuration.yaml.
You can use the configurator. You need to comment out or remove lines 20 - 25.

## Show links to resources in frontend
#introduction:

# This default password was set so appdaemon/hadashboard can work "out of the box"
#http:       # YOU SHOULD DISABLE THIS OR AT LEAST CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN
# api_password: !secret ha_api_key # CONSIDER USING A LONG LIVE ACCESS TOKEN INSTEAD

You need to use a long-lived access token for appdaemon and the configurator (see links)

After you get appdaemon and configurator set up with long-lived tokens you should restart the jail to confirm everything is working before finally upgrading back to the latest HA.

HA should come back after reboot and you should not see any failed logins from 127.0.1.1. Finally you can upgrade back to latest HA. Since you used the script install you can just call script to upgrade. From your FreeNAS console

sudo iocage exec homeassistant bash update

Sorry for so much extra work but I tested these steps from a clean install and they seem to work. Hopefully this can provide a workaround until I get some time to further investigate

Dario_Lemes_Gonzalez · November 1, 2019, 4:34am

@troy,

Thanks for the directions. It worked perfectly. Please advised once upgrade to python 3.7 is available so we could patch it.

Thanks again for your assistance.

After upgarde to 101.2 I cant access my frontend (? the login page) anymore.

I get this error: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Anyone that has any suggestions? I am running this from LAN, but neither my phone or my laptop can access it with remote either… I was not running any SSL before this upgrade and none after either…

Please share you homeassistant log.

Ill have a look.

Ok, removing the API password from HTTP fixed this. Sorry for not reading the log before posting…

troy · November 3, 2019, 10:46pm

There is a breaking change in the example configuration I provided

troy:

Next (if your using example config I provide) you need to edit configuration.yaml.
You can use the configurator. You need to comment out or remove lines 20 - 25
## Show links to resources in frontend
#introduction:

# This default password was set so appdaemon/hadashboard can work "out of the box"
#http:       # YOU SHOULD DISABLE THIS OR AT LEAST CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN
# api_password: !secret ha_api_key # CONSIDER USING A LONG LIVE ACCESS TOKEN INSTEAD

You need to use long live access tokens now. API password causes configuration error starting with HA 0.101

Edit: no worries
