[WARN] Home Assistant CLI is not running! Jump into emergency console…

Installation
8

I also bumped into error “Home Assistant CLI not starting jump into emergency console”, tried over dozen times with fe wSD cards and 4.x, 5.x and 6.x HA versions. Browsed all over the net and this forum, then finally noted some post with unclear instructions to “log in with any user info…” So I tried in CLI screen prompt after the original error message and just wrote “login” and pressed enter. It proceeded right to HA welcome prompt showing the urls like HA url http://homeassistant.local:8123
Observer, mikä lie http://homeassistant.local:4357. So I entered HA url into my browser and it took then 30+ min to do rest of installations and asked to register. So some silly stuck which you can bypass, propably with many login kind of attempts

“login” also worked for me after waiting for installation. Just be patient and type login

Worked also for me. Big thanks!!
Have to use it also every time after manual shutdown to get to Home Assistant command line (screen attached). Doesn’t seem to impact the use of Home Assistant app/web UI.

WORKING AGAIN! - I got this issue recently after updating to the latest OS platform. Unplugged the network cable let it boot up showed the home assistant cli onscreen, connected the network cable and was able to access again.

Perfectly worked

15

How can I access the command line after the error message?

Thanks in advance

What IP address would you use? If the CLI starts properly you see the IP address HA is accessible on which is not the case with the above error message

I just had the same situation as you, my solution was to enter “login” after the warning line showed “[WARN] Home Assistant CLI is not running! Jump into emergency console…”. Everything is working fine

After some issue with my NAS attached to VMware ESXi, my HA OS (VM via vmdk of the site) doesn’t want to boot anymore.
Message is “CLI not runing! Jump to emergency console”

Also 2 messages about a service that cannot start (fsck and grow data), but I think these are related to the other issue.
Eventually it was possible to run the fsck manually, but this one cannot complete as it cannot modify some inode (#1707758) folder.

Upon checking docker, only the observer container is visible and no other docker containers. Although there seem to be more present in the docker folder, but as these are only GUIDS, I cannot be certain.

Unfortunately the backups in the backup folder are not a (full) HASSIO backup / snapshot and thus I cannot restore via new instance of HA OS.

Anyone any idea on how to fix HA OS so I can keep my history database? :innocent:

trick here is to get to the point where manually entering login is not required so you can recover from a power failure

Hi @all

i have the same problem after the latest update and cannot fix it.
i have a raspberry pi 4 with home assistant.
when i type login i get the banner but i cannot open the web gui.

i tried the method to type login, banner and startet raspberry without network cable. always the same problem.

thank you for helping
best regards

Thank you so much, It was driving me insane

26

what do you mean by the web guy? cabd you pour the HA IP? Are you using your browser as the “GUI”? I fine that of HA is reconfiguring it self there s a significant lag until it is done

Yes, thank you! This worked for me, too.
