Add-On doesn't start when python_packages can't be installed due to missing internet access
bob1de opened this issue · 5 comments
Problem/Motivation
I run hassio as a VM, alongside the firewall. This means that there's no internet connection when hassio boots up and the add-ons are started. Because I use the python_packages config variable to install third-party packages, the add-on doesn't start at all.
Expected behavior
The add-on waits until internet connection is available.
Actual behavior
Package installation is retried 5 times, after which the add-on terminates.
Steps to reproduce
Add something to python_packages, block the internet connection and start the add-on.
Proposed changes
Maybe the add-on could be configured in such a way that package installs are retried until there is a working internet connection.

Hm, maybe it would even be better to implement this into the hassio supervisor to allow for restarting any add-on in case it fails.
I now use an automation to start the add-on every minute, however that's not very elegant, because I can't determine why it actually failed, whether that's due to missing internet connection or a broken configuration.
So waiting until packages can be installed seems reasonable to me. Or, even better, is it possible to reuse the installed packages from the last run and only try to upgrade them?
Sorry, this is not a feature I'm planning on implementing.
You can check the status of an add-on with the Supervisor if you'd like.
Auto restarting is not a feature that fits into the Docker world.
