I got a generic Linux docker installation of hass.io running on my pi 4 for quite some time. It is the 32 bit version as it was recommended at installation time.
I installed docker on buster and then did the generic Linux install version.
To upgrade to 64 bit version can I just replace the home assistant core container somehow or do I have to reinstall from scratch? Someone did an upgrade from a similar setup?
Generic Linux install? What makes you think it was 32 bit? I didn’t know there was such a thing. Did you deliberately install anything but amd64? Are you sure you arn’t running HassOS 32 bit?
Seems there is 32 bit version. @DavidFW1960
To switch from one image to another.
Need to create a backup, save it outside of hassio, then remove the old containers and install the new 64bit one using the install script.
Afterward restore the backup.
That’s really interesting !
Last time I looked Buster was only available in 32 bit and ‘I assume’ you can’t install a 64 bit dockerised Hassio Home Assistant onto that.
Francis, is there an install guide to get dietpi boot from sd but run system from ssd like you can with raspbian buster ?
I just have to say, the reason I like this is, that it might just kill 3 birds with 1 stone.
Apparently vsc (according to sparkydave) can now run on a 64 bit OS on arm processors
(I currently just use my workstation to run vsc from, not sure of the pros and cons between the two, but this gives me options)
And as above it allows you to use an ssd on a pi4
Very good to know until rpf sort the eft out and HA can move forward with a 64 bit ssd image
Edit: Currently (2020-03-02) the dietpi rpi image is 32bit only
That seems like a good solution. Thanks for the suggestion.
@DavidFW1960 Yep I am running the 32 bit version for the raspberry pi 3 on buster. I have some other utilities running on that pi so Hass os was not an option… I like the idea of the supervised addon system though, so I installed the supervisor and home assistant core manually.
I downloaded, etched, plugged in sd, ssd, z-wave stick, network cable - And then power supply (official USB C 3A rated)
Pi Boots, wait till ip appears on scanner, connect via SSH
Go to config, change passwords, set minimal options, go to drive manager, select, format, set mount point, mount, run speed test (write 81mbs, read 241 mbs), change host name, reboot - The Pi does not come back up.
I’ve tried various options, no software, just docker on exit it tries upgrade & fails. Tried internet - Sucess ! Tried sending error report & fails, Tried disabling IPv6 - No difference
EDIT: New - comes back up but does not respond to SSH
