I am new to Home Assistant and want to to set up a test system. I have the above mentioned server gathering dust and was wondering if it would be possible to install Home Assistant on it. The specs:
A quick Google search for acer easystore h340 linux install will get you a range of guides. Find something fairly recent for Ubuntu or Debian, that makes sense when you read it, and you should be good.
This one is about an older version of Ubuntu, but it should work. This one is older, but is more readable.
I spend the last two days trying to follow the above mentioned instructions to no abail. In the end attached a hd to my laptop and installed ubuntu server, then HA and its dependencies. It worked, I managed to acces the front end from my smartphone.
" This is going to be an issue as the next step in the process is to remove the drive from the external hard drive enclosure and then insert into a bootable position back in the Nas server. The Nas server will almost definitely have a different network card and therefore will never show up on the network.
So we need to remove the link to this NIC
The file is located at
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
So use gedit
Sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Am no linux guru yet but am pretty sure this is how its done
And remove the following info. Remove all of this. Its all one line but will look like its spread over three or four lines.
SUBSYSTEM==”net”, ACTION==”add”, DRIVERS==”?”, ATTR{address}==”00:00:00:00:00:00″, ATTR{type}==”1″, KERNEL==”eth”, NAME=”eth0″ "
I got a message that the file doesn’t exist, but attached the drive to the H340 anyway… needless to say it didn’t work. I can’t get the server connected to the network…
Very strange because it worked before in my laptop, but the network was not recognized by the H340, so reinstalled direct in server and everything went well until the HA install.
I know that this is not a Linux forum, but maybe someone can help?
