Troubles installing HACS

Hi there,

I’m trying to install HACS to a brand new Hassio installation on a Raspberry Pi 2. I have placed the hacs folder inside the custom_components folder of my config and then rebooted HA.

When I then try to add the integration, the dialog just returns to the integrations list, and the following appears in my log file:

When I try to set the token via the yaml :

hacs:
  token: !secret hacs_token

(with hacs_token the value of my github token) Home Assistant just does not boot, with the same error.

I have tried HACS 0.17.3 and 0.16.3, both give the same result. Am I doing something wrong?
I’m running HA 0.102.3 with Hass.io supervisor 192 and HassOS 2.12

Thanks!

Did you ever get some sort of response? I encountered this thread thru a search as I am having the exact issue.

Hey MisterMister

It seems like Home Assistant dropped support for the Raspberry Pi 2.

Kr,
Erates

No, HA runs nicely on a RbPi 2, support is not dropped.

Follow the instructions here :

Well I tried it before, and found out the image I downloaded earlier was for the RaPi 3. Thus I went back to the website to download the one for the RaPi 2 and found out the download link was gone.

That made me conclude that support was dropped.

Image for HACS ? There is no image for HACS.

If for HA :

Other machine types

  • intel-nuc
  • raspberrypi
  • raspberrypi2
  • raspberrypi3
  • raspberrypi3-64
  • raspberrypi4
  • raspberrypi4-64
  • odroid-c2
  • odroid-cu2
  • odroid-xu
  • orangepi-prime
  • tinker
  • qemuarm
  • qemuarm-64
  • qemux86
  • qemux86-64

Sorry, I got confused :confused:

Anyhow, what I have never been able to get it working again on a RaPi 2. I did got it working on RaPi 4.

Yesterday I reinstalled my test-HA on a RbPi 1 :slight_smile:
