6.12.25+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.25-1+rpt1 (2025-04-30) aarch64 GNU/Linux
arm64
- SBC model |
RPi 5 Model B (aarch64)
- Power supply used |
Official Raspberry Pi 5 power supply
128GB SSD
Additional Information (if applicable)
- Software title | Home Assistant
- Was the software title installed freshly or updated/migrated? → Yes
Steps to reproduce
- Update DietPi to version 9.13.2
- Update Home Assistant via
dietpi-software reinstall 157
Expected behaviour
- Home Assistant starts regularly
Actual behaviour
Home-Assistant service shows:

Extra details
After updating my existing installation, Home Assistant no longer starts.
All files related to Home Assistant appear to still be in their correction location, including hass.
My hypothesis is the problem is due to the /home/homeassistant/.local/bin no longer being on $PATH, as it seems as if the dietpi launch script cannot find the file anymore.
I have tried adding it to $PATH and rebooting multiple times with no success. Same error appears when restarting the service.
For all users, including root and homeassistant, echo $PATH now shows:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/homeassistant/.local/bin
Any thoughts as to how I could resolve this?
Keep in mind home assistant has an own user with own path and pyenv environment.
Best trying to reinstall again
dietpi-software reinstall 157
Thank you for the reply.
I’ve already tried that two times. I’ve also tried adding the $PATH /home/homeassistant/.local/bin folder for the homeassistant user. The problem keeps occurring.
I’ve tried that one more time, including restarting the service for the python module building. Same result: /home/homeassistant/homeassistant-start.sh: 3: exec: hass: not found Here’s the log from the installation, in case it’s useful:

Step: Install completed
Did you tried to switch to HA user
sudo -u homeassistant bash
. /home/homeassistant/pyenv-activate.sh
And run hass command manually?
1 Like
That seems to have done something - thanks again.
The program started and built the python dependencies. I restarted it twice once it was done compiling as per the usual instructions. If I keep the hass command running, I can also access the instance.
However, the home-assistant systemd service still is not able to restart. Same error as before ( exec: hass: not found). Rebooting did not fix this.
Unrelated to the issue at hand, but the installation is also now full of errors. My automations have all been disabled for “extra keys not allowed”, and Home Assistant’s logs are complaining that I need to upgrade to Python 3.12 despite the pyenv being updated to 3.13… I’m seriously regretting not doing a full system backup. I have the local HASS backups in tar format but I’m worried that they will not work with this system state.
Maybe @MichaIng has an idea why hass command is not found during service execution but working manually
