Core: Cannot proceed beyond onboarding on fresh install

[LarsAC]

Home Assistant release with the issue:

Version 0.100.1

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):

Debian Linux (buster)
Docker 19.03
Official docker image from docker hub

Integration:

Description of problem:
After starting the docker container, docker logs report hass starting up fine. When browsing to srvip:8123, I am asked to create an owner user. This works fine and some user details are stored in /config/.storage/auth.

I am then forwarded to an onboarding page despite having configured these details in my config. After entering data (or leaving the defaults), pushing next leads to a browser popup with error message "FAIL". I cannot get any furter, even after various retries and attempts to delete .storage in config dir. Home assistant log says

2019-10-12 23:12:56 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.websocket_api.http.connection.140281321695632] Received invalid command: config/core/update

The home-assistant_v2.db file gets created.

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

homeassistant:
  name: Home
  latitude: !secret lat_home
  longitude: !secret lon_home
  elevation: 189
  unit_system: metric

The same problem on similar system

Have you tried to start without a configuration.yaml? This made it work for me.

If you could confirm, we could close the issue here.

[damage0999]

No. It`s not working for me. I have used docker+ha on ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. Then i installed python3.7 and install HA with pip3. And all the time i get the same issue.

[damage0999]

And i even tryied to run HA 0.100.1 then 0.99.3 and nothing changed. What am i doing wrong? P.S. Ubuntu was clean installation every time(i used VM checkpoints)

[damage0999]

Problen solved. Don`t know how. (:

Ok, let's close it for now since there is not much to work from in this issue + both of you have it resolved.

For anyone coming across this, for me the solution was to enable config: in my configuration. Apparently having the UI but not allowing the UI to make configuration changes causes this.

Similar errors when starting up and trying to onboard on a new instance within docker:

Received invalid command: config/core/detect
Received invalid command: config/core/update

Needed these 2 in config/configuration.yml to get started.
