Home Assistant container does not starts

Mon Jun 24, 2024 10:13 am

I have RB5009 and I want to setup Home Assistant there.
There is a USB flash installed and used for container
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > disk print 
Flags: B - BLOCK-DEVICE; M - MOUNTED
Columns: SLOT, MODEL, SERIAL, INTERFACE, SIZE
#    SLOT  MODEL                    SERIAL                    INTERFACE                     SIZE
0 BM usb1  Kingston DT microDuo 3C  408D5CBF8874E7A0895E075A  USB 3.20 5000Mbps  248 034 361 344
[admin@MikroTik] >
I have successfully installed the image
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > container export 
# 2024-06-24 10:11:11 by RouterOS 7.15.1

/container mounts

/container

/container config

/container envs

[admin@MikroTik] > container print 
 0 name="7d52c00c-6c85-439b-9e52-efdcb90a2842" tag="homeassistant/home-assistant" os="" arch="" interface=veth2 
   envlist="ha_env" root-dir=usb1/ha mounts=ha_config dns="" logging=yes status=stopped

However, whatever I do it does not starts...
No log records appears when I'm trying to start it.

Any ideas how to make it running?

Have you tried enabling logging "container,debug"? Maybe he'll show what he's missing?

Have just logging=yes in the container it salves.
Can you give me a hint how to enable debug logging?

Has the container been downloaded completely? No errors at the end? (this happens sometimes)

Is container mode enabled?
Code: Select all
/system/device-mode/update container=yes

It it has status "extracting" for a while and I can see how it is pulling layers in the log.
Than the status is tiring into "stopped".

Sure containers are enabled otherwise I won't be able to pull an image.
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > /system/device-mode print 
  mode: enterprise
  container: yes

The last message in the log before container status turns to "stop" is
Code: Select all
getting layer sha256:aa900376fa4645b30a0d731f2962ade576b143016fc7e8b4d4f12bbd34c30fca
In all other layers such record is followed by downloaded record. But not this one.

Previous layers are like this
Code: Select all
getting layer sha256:e0989a23912da051dea50b9091f0c93d4493d425c7b5bd55c88729eaf83b3a08

Also i think your container is not properly deployed, from your recording it is visible that OS and arch is missing.
Code: Select all
name="7d52c00c-6c85-439b-9e52-efdcb90a2842" tag="homeassistant/home-assistant" os="" arch="" interface=veth2

Try removing the container completely. Format USB and try again

I've had the same problem for months, I've never been able to figure out where the problem was.
I tried to format the USB disk also changing the filesystem but nothing to do, it always stops at the same point:
mikrotik ha.png
The file download always stops at 171B
I don't know if it's a ROS bug...

I'm trying to pull stable image.
Errors a totally random every time.
Some times it pulls arch and os and some times it is not.
I was trying all formats of the flash. With and without MBR.
What is consistent is it is always stuck on this layer.

From it's size I can see it is that one
Code: Select all
40.  RUN |1 QEMU_CPU= /bin/ash -o   295.15 MB
In some cases it shows this at the end
Code: Select all
was unable to import, container 8e14971f-a423-4ae1-8b05-d584e1568386

I had issues with my HASS container not starting on my hAP AX3 and after some debugging I determined that I needed to disable jemalloc which is described here - https://www.home-assistant.io/installat ... imizations

You can disable it by simply adding the env variable DISABLE_JEMALLOC=1

Might not be your case but thought it worth mentioning. Runs fine after this is set for me.

Thank you, but it doesn't helps in my case.
If the flash is formatted with MBD it always ends up with error status.
If the flash is formatted without MBD it always ends up with stopped status and not starts no matter what.

(Sure I'm changing path everywhere accordingly usb1/usb1-part1)

I also tried to load as file a few weeks ago without success... at this point only MikroTik support can help us, have you already created a ticket?

No. I do not think they will help with 3rd party software which HA is.

I checked on hAP ac3 and everything works. Perhaps something with the RB5009, but I don't have it to check

Re: Home Assistant container does not starts

It is interesting, is anybody has positive experience installing HA on RB5009? :?
In a quick test on RB5009 (arm64), I get a layer error (specifically, "error getting layer: resolving error" when downloading a layer). On RB1100Ahx4 (arm/v7), it imports and goes to start.

There is a Traefik container that works fine on same RB5009, so /container is enabled/working otherwise. You might want to try an older tag of HA instead of latest, dunno.

It should work since Mikrotik specifically documents how to set it up: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... eAssistant

Finally make it work... :D
a) Reset docker settings
b) docker pull homeassistant/home-assistant:latest@sha256:17d159928122e6f374bd39b0e75904522bc7d7c2a64e88b248948734e4c4d444 on my host machine
c) docker save -o ha_arm64.tar
d) Upload it to router
e) /container/add file="usb1/img/ha.tar" interface="veth1" envlist="envha" cmd="python3 -m homeassistant --config /config" hostname="homeassistant" workdir="/config" root-dir="usb1/containers/homeassistant" mounts="homeassistant" logging=yes

Now it works and I can access it.
However I have 2 questions to solve

a) I need ffmpeg inside of the docker. It eats like it is not there.
b) The container is in 10.10.0.1 and all my devices are in 192.168.88.1. And it seams like 10.10.0.1 is not visible from within 192.168.88.1. So I can't add the home assistant as a hub to Apple Home so far.

UPDATE:

ffmpeg is there but working with some errors. But it is not related to Mikrotik for sure :-)

To all:
It is not possible to pull the latest image or even stable image of homeassistant for arm64 on Mikrotik RB5009, because the size of image is more then 1.5GB, but the storage on RB5009 is only 1GB,
you must change your settings in container to use usb disk for pulling-downloading images:
Code: Select all
container/config/set tmpdir=usb1/pull
Best regards!

The error I get is:

PS C:\Users\allan> docker save -o ha_arm64.tar

Even if "ha_arm64.tar" wasn't bound as the option to the -o flag, making it unavailable to be interpreted as the "IMAGE" argument, it it isn't an "IMAGE" in the context of that command at all. The -o flag names an OCI image archive, not the same thing. The "save" command wants the actual input image name:

Code: Select all
docker save -o ha_arm64.tar homeassistant/home-assistant:latest

Beware the documented limitations of the HASS container. I faced this decision myself just yesterday, and while I found lack of one-click upgrades of little concern — the container engine handles that for you — lack of add-on support and broken backups doesn't work for me at all. I went with the HAOS VM image instead, now running on my NAS.

Re: Home Assistant container does not starts

Has anyone found a solution to this problem. The image is showing in usb1/pull as a tar.gzip file, was around 300mb but now showing as 171B.
I am using Mikrotik L009 which supports container and advertises that it supports home assistant.
I am following the Mikrotik instructions to the letter.

Any help would be appreciated.

See my previous message:

I have the same problem with hAP ac2 and I have never been able to understand the cause.
