homeassistant orangepi pc2

[guy cal]

I try to install home assistant on the orangepipc2.

Debian 13 (Trixie) is installed op the orangepi and I try to install Docker and homeassistant with the armbian-config utility.

 

Unfortunately, this is not working.

First I try to install Docker. ( tested with docker minimal and docker engine). I receive this information : 

 

Package docker-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package docker-ce-cli is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'docker-ce-cli' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package containerd.io
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'containerd.io'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'containerd.io'
E: Unable to locate package docker-buildx-plugin
E: Unable to locate package docker-compose-plugin
Failed to enable unit: Unit docker.service does not exist
Failed to start docker.service: Unit docker.service not found.
 

When I try to install homeassistant I receive following  :

 

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 homeassistant-supervised : PreDepends: docker-ce but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context:
   Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
   1. homeassistant-supervised:arm64=3.0.0 is selected for install
   2. homeassistant-supervised:arm64 PreDepends docker-ce
      but none of the choices are installable:
      [no choices]

 

What is wrong ? Please help

For docker you don't really need armbian-config to install. Just do apt install docker.io and usermod -aG docker yourusername (if you want as non-root have access to docker). That's it.

 

OPi PC2 is armhf, so 32-bit while it seems that homeassistant requires arm64, so 64bit system. Therefore this won't work.

[guy cal]

based on the specification orangepiPC2 has the H5  processor and should be 64bit.

I

Seems docker is installed, but I cannot start it.

ah yes, you're right.

 

Well homassistant seems to depend on docker, so if the docker issue is resolved, hass will probably work too. Though no clue what the issue with docker is.

Since it is an issue with configng, I suggest to report directly here: https://github.com/armbian/configng/issues

Don't forgot to be as verbose as possible when reporting. Will raise chances getting it addressed sooner
