Update home assistant supervisor from virsh guest console
homeassistant migrates image registry from Docker Hub to Github container registry. For example, the image link of supervisor changes from home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0 to ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0. It is very difficult to access ghcr.io directly in China. Therefore, it is impossible to directly update supervisor, etc. This post show a temporary solution based on DaoCloud/public-image-mirror.
Set up a ready-to-go ghcr image source
Open a sync-image issue.
Place the image sorce as a title with the format of <domian>/<owner>/<image>:<tag>. For example, ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0. Mark the checkbox. And wait one or two minutes. You will received a email with the following content.
镜像 ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0 同步完成 请使用 m.daocloud.io/ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0 替代源镜像
Let’s go to pull the image with the new source.
Update supervisor from a guest console
Open a guest console via virsh.
virsh console hass
root
Pull the supervisor image from the alternative source.
docker pull m.daocloud.io/ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0
Add the recognizable tags.
docker tag "m.daocloud.io/ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0" "ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0"
docker tag "ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2024.08.0" "ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:latest"
Stop current hassio_supervisor container.
docker stop hassio_supervisor
And reboot homeassistant os. hassos-supervisor script will recreate the container automatically. The deprecated images will be removed automatically as well.
