I installed Home Assistant Core according to the manual:
https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#install-home-assistant-core
The firrst time it does start and I can access the web interface. After a reboot I cannot access the web interface. I have tried several init.d script to start Home Assistant Core on boot, but so far no succes.
Is there a way to start Home Assitant Core on boot?
It is installed as user “homeassitant”. So I have to start Home Assistant Core with a command and the user that running the command has to be “homeassistant”.

I fixed the issue.
How I fixed the issue:
Create a file named “homeassistant” in “/etc/init.d”.
Copy the code below to the file you just made (check which version of Python you are using).
Make the exacutable: “chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/homeassistant”.
Add the script to run on boot: “update-rc.d homeassistant defaults”.
Reboot your device.
