Unsupervised / OS install fails

Installation
1

I have followed the instructions for a vanilla unsupervised / OS installation but I get stuck, no luck in accessing the device using http using either <IP address>:8123 or homeassistant.local:8123.

I have a Pi 4 and the issue is the same whether i try the 32-bit image or the 64-bit image. (So I am sticking to the 64-bit version.)

I when I connect to the console I cannot type any commands except “login”, I get the following message:

ha > core check
Processing… Done.

Post http://supervisor/core/check: dial tcp 172.30.32.2:80: connect: connection refused

I searched the forum and there was a suggestion that maybe the time of day was not set properly but this was not the problem.

When I check logs with “docker logs hassio_supervisor” I get this:

IMG_1902
IMG_19024032×3024 2.46 MB

Some kind of connectivity problem it seems but I can ping different hosts from my Pi so not obvious what is the problem.

I found some suggestions that pointing DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 would help. I assigned a static IP address mapping in my DHCP server and configured these DNS servers but still the same problem.

I have a pfSense router / firewall. Is there some known issue with pfSense?

What do you see when you enter https://versions.home-assistant.io/stable.json ?

I get :

Good point. I get the same but HA installation / bootstrap seem to be dependent on this. How to report / fix this?

how do you call home-assistant from the browser?

I have tried using <IP address>:8123 and homeassistant.local:8123.

if that happen most probably the download process being interupted somewhere. Its better to start over. Once it run… leave it alone for 20-25 minutes.

Sorry there was a typo in my post. It has been corrected now.

I gave up. Now I am trying to use a spare Intel NUC that I have. Failed to use the unsupervised version though so I have installed Ubuntu core.
