At the moment the Raspberry Pi is running off a 64GB SD card and I want to swap it over to booting from an external SSD.<\/p>\n<p>Home Assistant is known to either fill up the SD card or the SD card gets corrupted.

Meaning I will deploy a fresh copy of Home Assistant onto the SSD using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balena.io\/etcher\/\">balenaEtcher<\/a> boot it up and then try to restore from a snapshot.<\/p>\n<h2>Backing up Home Assistant<\/h2>\n<p>Go to Supervisor \u2192 Snapshots.<\/p>\n<p>Create a Full snapshot.

The official guide has changed a bit and now lets you &quot;Flash from URL&quot;. Instead I prefer to download the image locally first and then flash.<\/p>\n<p>I used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balena.io\/etcher\/\">balenaEtcher<\/a> to install the image \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/home-assistant\/operating-system\/releases\/download\/5.12\/hassos_rpi3-64-5.12.img.xz\">hassos_rpi3-64-5.12.img.xz<\/a>\u201d to the 240GB SSD.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/andrejacobs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Untitled-3.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Next I need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/documentation\/hardware\/raspberrypi\/bootmodes\/msd.md\">enable USB host boot mode<\/a> on the Raspberry Pi 3B. Unfortunately I don&#8217;t have a SD card currently with Raspberry Pi OS installed so I downloaded the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite and flashed it to a SD card (again using balenaEtcher. Also note I used a different SD and not the working Home Assistant one).<\/p>\n<p>Ejected the SD and reinserted it into my Mac.<\/p>\n<p>Edited the <code>config.txt<\/code> file on the SD card. I ran into some permission problem, just ejected and reinserted and it wrote to the file no issues. SD cards and computers are weird.<\/p>\n<pre><code>program_usb_boot_mode=1\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Added a file called <code>ssh<\/code> and <code>ssh.txt<\/code> to the SD card to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/documentation\/remote-access\/ssh\/\">enable SSH<\/a> since I will be running this Pi headless. (You only need a file named <code>ssh<\/code> but I wanted to get this right first time)<\/p>\n<p>Inserted the SD card into the Raspberry Pi and booted it. I waited a minute or so and then used nmap to find the IP address. Note: Normally &quot;raspberrypi.local&quot; can just be found on the network.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">$ nmap -sn 192.168.1.0\/24\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>SSH into it to verify that the USB host boot mode has been enabled.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">$ ssh pi@raspberrypi.local\nPassword is just: raspberry\n\npi@raspberrypi:~ $ vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 17:\n17:3020000a\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>3020000a is the correct value.<\/p>\n<p>Next I shutdown the Raspberry Pi (sudo shutdown -h now) and removed the program_usb_boot_mode line from config.txt file just incase I use this SD card in another Pi I did not want to write this one time programming bit to.<\/p>\n<h3>Moment of Truth<\/h3>\n<p>I attached the SSD via USB to the Raspberry Pi 3B and turned it on.
