Asus PN61 - Home Assistant start-up fail

Hi All,

Hope everyone is well today?

So I installed Home Assistant OS on my Asus PN61 (NUC styled PC), and it worked when I first booted it and then restarted, and even did as shut down, this comes after I had to reinstall the system cause it kept giving the Daemon error which reads “Cannot connect to the docker deamon at unix:///bar/run/docker.sock. Is the docker Daemon Running?”

Now I don’t understand what it could be cause it was just working and this happened when it restarted.

Fast forward to the fresh install which worked, however we live in South Africa and so we have this thing called Load Shedding, which happened last night, PC shut off, and when I tried to turn it on this morning, I got the same error.

Is it the Generic installation itself that does this and will it be best for me to rather do it VM based, or is there something I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
