Deploying HassOS to ESXi

Lol, it did not even work after 20 days, let alone 20 minutes. I am not getting what causing it. Is there a user manual for HassOS?

All you can do is very that your DHCP IP address assigned to the VM has unrestricted outbound internet access.

···I don’t know what to ask. I installed it according to the tutorial. I get stuck here every time. The ip plus port obtained by dhcp is not accessible.···

Did you ever get anywhere with this?

Two possible issues come to mind:

  1. hassio istn even running
    check with commands:

    # ha core logs
    # ha core info
    # ha supervisor logs
    # ha supervisor info
    

    run

    curl -vvv --head hassio.ip.addre.sse:8123

    from a computer that is not the machine itself if its failing run it locally if it works only locally you can be certain its network related.

  2. networking issue in esxi

    In esxi under Networking check the eventmonitor of the vmnet your hassio instance runs in. Also check the virtual switch they’re connected to.
    check network configuration with

   # ha host info
   # ha host logs
   after login from hassio cli check for the correct network seetings (maybe wrong gateway?)
   # ip a
   and see if the machine has any arp neighbours
   # arp -a

Provide above logs to the forum and we might figure it out.

The 172. address is the docker network, this is supposed to be there and nothing to worry about.

I have issues as well.

I have pfSense assign a static IP to the macaddress, yet on the first boot it worked, on the second it kept the docker ip when i was logged into HA console and i was issueing ha core info…

However the ESXi interface was only showing me the DHCP pfsense issued IP.

This is wrong at so many levels, that the HA console doesn’t have an option to re-set the IP address of the interface, and we have to rely on USB sticks formatted with files edited in notepad (as other guides are explaining)…

Also ssh access is wrong, i tried enabling advanced mode, installing the plugin, but the plugin installation crashed somehow and i was thinking rebooting it would have helped.

it didn’t
