Easy answer: restart the host. If I'm not wrong, by default, HA restarts with the host.

If that does not work, you can start your docker container. Run: docker ps -a to get the list of all available containers. Identify the HA one. You should have something like this:

afa90071dd81        homeassistant/intel-nuc-homeassistant:0.118.5   "/init"                  13 hours ago        Up 13 hours                                                                                  homeassistant
ac4fe3306d98        homeassistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor           "/init"                  13 hours ago        Up 13 hours                                                                                  hassio_supervisor

(note that the status should be stopped in your case). Then, you just need to start your HA container. In the example case, that requires docker start homeassistant or docker start afa90071dd81.

  • Thank you both. Basically, restarting the container kept failing. When checked the container logs, it was like the config file was broken. Hence had to re-install the container. – Avirup Das Dec 30 '20 at 17:23
