Community add-ons are not visible in the HA frontend, but cannot be added as the repo is already stored

[RosemaryOrchard]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

I hope I am placing this bug in the right place, but it might be a HA OS issue.

Last week I experienced an issue where the community add-ons were not visible in the HA frontend, but if I tried to add the community repo I received an error telling me that the repo was already added.

I ended up resolving the issue by editing /mnt/data/supervisor/store.json and removing the https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository entry and then rebooting the host. After that, I was able to add and use the community addons.

I assumed this was down to my error or poor connectivity. But numerous HA reboots (including rebooting the host) did not resolve it until I edited the file. And then today in the Home Assistant Discord another user encountered the same issue, hence raising a bug report.

What is the used version of the Supervisor?

supervisor-2022.07.0

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Which operating system are you running on?

Home Assistant Operating System

What is the version of your installed operating system?

5.11

What version of Home Assistant Core is installed?

Home Assistant OS 8.2

Steps to reproduce the issue

Unfortunately, I don't know what caused this. But I have some things that may be useful to know:

I set HA up in May, and then it was offline until last week, when I updated to the latest releases of HA OS, Supervisor, and Core on 2022-07-18.

I did have issues with GitHub repeatedly being "unavailable" which appeared to be the device/network being banned from the GitHub API for overwhelming it with requests (I installed HACS on 2022-07-18 too).

Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

Unfortunately not.

I have a similar problem, taked with Rosemary on Discord about it, but also if i remove https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository from /mnt/data/supervisor/store.json and reboot the host, I receive the error "Can't add https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository, already in the store" when i try to "re-add" the repository.

I have the log of the error:

After this I lost Core and Community repository

I have the same problem with a three days old fresh install of the Home Assistant OS version on a Pi 4. Home Assistant 2022.9.5 Supervisor 2022.09.1 Operating System 9.0 Frontend 20220907.2 - latest

I found several threads regarding this problem in the forum, but no one seemed to be able to find what is causing this problem. As a new HA user it is hard enough to get my head around the system itself, and a bug hindering me to use the extensibility of the system is really hindering. Please help!

I've still got no add ons in the store - just a blank window. running hassbian on a raspi3b+

Same issue here, also not found a solution yet

Had the same issue. What I did was to edit the repository URL changing HTTPS to HTTP and then it worked.

If you try doing an ha supervisor repair in the CLI, does it work after that? Sounds like the clone of the repository repo on disk may have gotten corrupted, that should clear it out and re-clone it.

I have the same issue, i don't see the community addon and can not add the repository. But in the terminal i found something like this: with the command: ha stores:

maybe it's because of the missing name, that community addons don't show up. But since it is a core repository and can not delete it with: ha store delete ... And i don't find the config files to do it by hand if thats possible.
