[SOLVED] HA image installed via Supervisored Installer failing with "exec user process caused: exec format error"

Installation
,
1

I’m rewriting this whole post as I pin-pointed the issue is the image is failing to run for reasons I cannot figure out:

root@venus-ha:/home/pi/Downloads# docker logs homeassistant
standard_init_linux.go:228: exec user process caused: exec format error

That is an arch. type error.

:man_shrugging:

root@venus-ha:/home/pi/Downloads# docker pull ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi3-64-homeassistant:2022.4.7

According to the image, it is an arm64 image:

I downgraded the Supervised installer to 1.0.2, and it installed arm7 based images, except for homeassistant:

Anybody have any ideas what’s going on?

What do you know, armv7 is exactly what’s going on:

pi@venus-ha:~/Downloads $ docker run ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi3-64-homeassistant:2022.4.7
WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/arm64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm/v7) and no specific platform was requested

The image from Docker Hub works, though:

I’m going to close this issue myself. It appears there is a prompt on initial install where you select your arch type. I don’t recall it, but maybe it did come up and I selected 64 ? I found this prompt when I --purge the package and re-installed. This time, I did see it and selected the standard raspberrypi 3 and it’s now working!

Hello,

I’m facing this exact same issue only when i try to install samba, the remaining packages work. DO you have any idea on how i can sort this out? Did it happened with you on all packages?

I am having the same issue after attempting to upgrade my hass core to 2022.12.7. Google search leads me to this thread. Initially, I am not sure what does --purge mean. But now I think I understand. The following is what I did to reinstall home assistant supervised and it seems to resolve the issue.

sudo dpkg --purge homeassistant-supervised
# then I deleted the "homeassistant" container and related image
sudo reboot
cd /path/to/homeassistant_supervised.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./homeassistant_supervised.deb

During the installation process, there is a interactive window showing up asking you to choose your platform. In my case, I select “raspberrypi4”.

Now, I can see all the docker containers starting, including the “homeassistant” container:

Purge removes the cache. When you install a package, it will cache settings for reinstalls in the event of a failed install. Purge removes that.
