Updating Hassos via USB

Notvans · July 29, 2018, 6:23pm

Can someone explain to me how to update Hassos through USB? I named my USB drive CONFIG following these instructions and copied hassos_ova-1.8.raucb into the drive, clicked on Import from USB and restarted my pi but nothing happens.

NB, I was able to configure my network through USB though

Why did you restart the Pi? I’m 90% sure the Pi will update itself and then restart HA without user intervention. I think you might have rebooted it before it updated. (HassOS is slow too)

I also tried the same steps but without rebooting and leaving it overnight but still no update.

Did you ever fix this issue? I also need to update a machine with no internet access so a USB update would be great.

I was only able to update the supervisor by usb then I let go. Now that I think of it, you can just download the docker image and update it manually.

I know it’s an old thread, but anyone looking for how to update using an USB, should look at this page:

# Configuration

## Automatic

You can use an USB drive with HassOS to configure network options, SSH access to the host and to install updates.
Format a USB stick with FAT32/EXT4/NTFS and name it `CONFIG` (in all capitals). Alternative you can create a `CONFIG` folder inside the `boot` partition. Use the following directory structure within the USB drive:

```text
network/
modules/
modprobe/
udev/
authorized_keys
timesyncd.conf
hassos-xy.raucb
```

- The `network` folder can contain any kind of NetworkManager connection files. For more information see [Network][network.md].
- The `modules` folder is for modules-load configuration files.
- The `modprobe` folder is for modules configuration files (/etc/modprobe.d)
