Unable to update core since 2024.11.1

Installation

Hi,

I have been running Home Assistant for some years, first on a RPi Zero, then a RPi2 and currently on an RPi3B+. I have been unable to update the HA core since 2024.11.1. The update always fails with a 404 image not found error. All other updates for add-ons and operating system all work fine. I found a post mentioning that this could be caused by lack of space, but I’m running on a 32GB SD card, and df shows a whole list of entries with a maximum space used of 22%.

How can I resolve this and get my installation back on track with current updates?

Thanks,
Ned

Try to stop all addons before updating.

Your RPi3 is limited on RAM and with each update of HA and extra features added it gets more and more limited, so you are need to free up some to update.
Consider this a warning that your RPi3 will soon be unable to run your HA setup.

Thanks WallyR. I’ll try that.

I’m impressed. My rpi3b+ has struggled with updates for about the past year. I just restore a backup to the rpi from my x86 HA setup.

Unfortunately, that didn’t work. My RAM usage was about 72% running normally, and down to 66% with the add-ons stopped. Is there a simple explanation of why the core update takes so much RAM, while other updates like the OS update don’t have a problem?

Anyway, I’ve ordered a RPi 4, but I’m not looking forward to transferring the system. :worried:

Thanks,
Ned

Hi @Ellcon, You probably needn’t be too impressed, as other than the integrations that seem to be installed by default, I’m only running ZWave with two devices, and a custom integration that controls 433 MHz power switches. I’m not exactly overworking it. :grin:

Did you get it to install? My install went ok, just took a few hours. Next time there is an update I will try and find what the issue is with that.
