Update in Docker on Raspi

Installation

Hi,
I updated my Home Assistant and afterwards it wants me to create a new user. So I guess it didn`t find my config!?

I did the following:
“ls -l” and found folder “homeassistant” assuming it contains my config.

docker pull ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable

docker stop homeassistant

docker rm homeassistant

docker run -d \
  --name homeassistant \
  --privileged \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  -e TZ=Europe/Berlin \
  -v /homeassistant:/config \
  --network=host \
  ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable

Did I do anything wrong in this case?

Regards
Martin

That looks fine - can it write to /homeassistant?

Also, if you use compose files you can just do:

docker compose pull homeassistant
docker compose up -d homeassistant

Thanks for the feedback. How do I find out if it can write to /homeassistant?

I`ll try docker compose next time as it looks more easy and safe to use :slight_smile:

When you ran the command originally it’ll have created files in /homeassistant - are there any there older than when you started HA this time?

Unless of course you had a different path there originally…

I dont know. Well, Ill just configure it a second time and be a bit more cautious next time…
I just tried this:

And even if I just created an account etc. there doesn`t seem to be a config-file?

updating containers is usually a 1 click job with portainer.

try looking at you /homeassistant directory if the files are still there, if its there, try giving it a 777 permission on that directory and respin th container.
