Problem with startup after monthly updates

Configuration

Hi there,

I am a bit newbie to HA but I love it already.

However, I came across some problems with HA not restarting properly after update. Can anyone help me how to fix it please?

After monthly update it is last few months never start again properly, I need to just reboot whole Odroid HC4.
I have HA installed natively not in docker.

Not sure what you mean by “natively”. Have you installed Home Assistant Supervised on DietPi?

What hardware are you running on? Are you doing anything else with that platform? Do you have backups of your config?

A core install (no longer officially supported).

A quick glance at the logs seems to indicate that there are a number of dependencies that need installing.

Technically, an existing core/supervised install is still supported until New Year’s Eve from the way that I read the deprecation discussions…but not new installs.

In any case, this need to chase/fix evolving dependencies is an example of why support for core/supervisor installs is being deprecated IMHO…

I am using Odroid HC4, and dietpi linux version (technicly armbian).
And yeah I reckon I made mistake and installed core version, without supervisor, or docker one.

Is it any chance to fix it? Or better to reinstall everything for future stability?

I think that is supported with a ready to install HAOS image. If you aren’t using that hardware for anything else that is by far your most stress free method of running HA.

I am using as media server too. It is powerful enough for me. So, I need to go docker line. Oh well maybe there is a fix to what I have now, but if it is going to be unsupported so soon or later, I need to run docker version. Self-reflection done I reckon :wink:

No worries. You can actually run Plex media server as a HA add-on, but if you’re comfortable with Docker then cool.
