DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Add info about long install/build process

[Gill-Bates]

When I try to install Home Assistant, at the part of the Phyton installation, my Raspi stucks:

WARNING: seems you still have not added 'pyenv' to the load path.

Load pyenv automatically by adding the following to ~/.bashrc:
export PATH="/home/homeassistant/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

@Gill-Bates
It is expected that Home Assistant takes a very long time to install due to the pyenv and Python compilation. The 100% CPU load just verifies this.

Not sure about the warning, will have a look if this might imply an issue, but don't think so since it worked in the path and we didn't change something.

We are thinking about skipping the pyenv and start Home Assistant with the system-wide Python: #2374
But this requires intense testing/verification since the reason for pyenv is that Python + modules and their versions meet exactly the needs to Home Assistant. And it a slight security enhancement as well.

So try to be partitioned for now. Which RPi model is it?

[Gill-Bates]

I am using Versin 3. A Popup Message that the installation can take up to 1h before the installation starts would be helpful.

After installation the service is not bindend to Port 8123. went anything wrong? I get a timeout after trying to get access

I know from recent Mycroft AI setup that TTS compilation indeed can take a long while. I am just trying on VM now to check which steps take how long here.

---

Okay initial start and web UI indeed took a while: [homeassistant.bootstrap] Home Assistant initialized in 226.59s

• As your service status has shown active (running) and the log does not show an error but processing logs, I think it is indeed just taking longer. Has it finished meanwhile?

Indeed I think we should add a hint to our online docs or when installing, that this can take a while, as well as first service start and first open of web UI.

[MichaIng]

Added hint to online docs: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=10416#p10416
Reviewing install process and adding hint to dietpi-software with v6.27.

For me, it took nearly 20min with just the message Installing Python-3.6.3.. . So be patient, it finally makes it.
In the meantime, you can open a new ssh connection and set the missing path export PATH="/home/homeassistant/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"

PR up to inform about long install process and update Python to latest version: #3220

I just installed home assistant with diet-pi latest version to my Pi3+ but i could not get the server running on port 8123
I just did a clean install but it gives me some errors. What can i do ?

Thanks

did you followed the installation steps as describe on our online docs? https://dietpi.com/docs/software/home_automation/#home-assistant-open-source-home-automation-platform-running-on-python-3

HA would need to be restarted 2 times to get installation done

thanks it is now working 👍

[Joulinar]

yes, it's taking quite some time. You could have watched htop to see how installation is going. 😃
