New Hass.io images, based on HassOS

Did you solve this already @frits1980 ?

Thank you.

So, thinking of upgrading my Pi to HassOS. Will use a new SD card. Current will be kept as backup.

So etcher and hassio (HassOS) on new sd card.
Insert in pi 3b.
Boot.
Install samba addon.
Move full backup snapshot to pi.
Restore snapshot (folders and addons). Wipe and restore?
Delete db
Restart HA.
That’s it?

Best regards.

That will do it yes

So I’ve just flashed my Pi2 with a brand new image of HassOS, latest version. It boots (eventually) and loads the screen, but I cannot get to any of the “Hass.io” section. I click on the link and it just shows a blank white page. I have no way of getting onto the box at all; I can’t install the SSH, SCP, Samba or Terminal add-ons, because the page doesn’t exist. I also can’t load my old snapshot for the same reason. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I had a similar problem when I was running a Pi NAS using the 3v3 rail from a PC power supply that was also running the HDD. The 5v rail was rated at 15-amps, so I was totally unexpecting “undervoltage” warnings. The problem, it turned out, was the micro SD cable that I was powering the Raspberry from. In this case I solved it temporarily by using a 1A wall-wart supply. The permanent fix was to hard-wire the 5V from the PC supply into the Raspberry.

Known issue: Hass.io screen not loading (404 error)

No, there are two other threads about Bluetooth problems with the new HassOS now, so I hope an answer will be out there soon.

same problem here

Is there an ova available now? I’ve read a couple conflicting things and don’t see it on the release page. But sounds like some were able to install a earlier version?

My trust in HassOS is running a bit thin. It has been running okay since I updated from ResinOS, but today when I hit the update button in the Hassio panel to 0.75.1 (I think it was) then it has so far been unreachable for two hours. Before converting to HassOS my system was rock solid, but now it is beginning to be a little bit too exciting if the system will get up and running after a reboot.

Is it because upgrading just takes very long or does it go faster for others? Anyone else experiencing a rather unstable platform after HassOS or have I been struck by bad luck?

It took just several minutes for me

I have not tested yet but I hope it would be possible to save the two containers in HassOs and then run them on Ubuntu Docker. Or am I wrong. I will test as soon as my new Nuc arrive

Just you I think, no less stable than resinOS, just takes longer to start up but that’s only particularly noticeable on very slow devices like Pis.

Saving containers is not the docker way.

You just have your configs handy in a bind mount and docker will handle the download of the images necessary

I have a fully working HassOs HA on RPI. I want to move away from all with sd cards to a nuc. For me the best way must be to just move and run the docker image to the new hardware. Not correct?

Not correct.

You don’t move containers. Containers have no data in them. They are disposable. The hassio containers running on a pi are different than hassio containers running on x86 hardware (arm vs x86).

You simply move the config directory over and fire up the appropriate containers on your new platform.

Hear, hear!!!

I’m getting to the point where I am wondering if I want to do something about this. Can anyone point me in the direction of some resources that clearly outline the benefits, dis-benefits and requirements of the various flavours of HA? Remember that I am one of those drawn into this by the promise* of hassio on a Pi, and for a long time thought that hassio was HA.

*A promise pretty well delivered if only it wasn’t such a pain to test any changes due to pedestrian restart speeds (using packages)!

hassio on a Pi is the simplest to set up and get going because it’s the best supported and you can’t get much simpler than flash an sd card, plug it and power into a PI, hey presto, up and running.

You can run hassio on lots of other platforms just takes more work initially but they will be lightening quick in comparison to a Pi. Unsurprisingly there’s a trade off for Pis being so cheap and that’s performance BUT when it’s just doing it’s thing you won’t notice any difference unless you have a huge set up.

If you want to get your hands even dirtier you can go for a completely manual install of HA but there are only a very few cases where it’s an advantage and most users will never come across one of those cases. I did this originally and it’s a total ball ache to install anything that is just one click through hassio add-ons.

Hi. I had the same issue using Google chrome. I changed to Microsoft edge and the hass.io page showed up. Installed my addons and then openned with google chrome Then it showed up and back to normal.

Hi All,

I tried the new version but my sensor HTU21 does not work.
Has I2C been fixed?
Thanks.
