Home Assistant not starting on boot

I’ve installed Home Assistant via dietpi-software and it ran fine, but does not auto start on boot. Attempting to start it manually fails and returns the following errors:

root@hass:~# sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (0.UTF-8)

Thanks for any assistance.

add that line to /etc/rc.local before exit 0 line

sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant

Or try this method
Dietpi is based on armbian…armbian is based on debian, same as ubuntu
