Had to reinstall the HA and I got as far as supervised installation but that miserably fails. is this the end of HA on WSL2? FYI, Ubuntu is up2date with the latest and the greatest.

I followed the same instructions and ended up getting the same EXACT errors!. Hopefully, someone here wouldnât mind telling us what has changed since the instructions were released. I donât think itâs a coincidence we got the same errors.

No disrespect to the people who are tiredlessly working on this page, but gave up hope on WSL2 as I had so many problems with it recently. As of early last week, I migrated my HA to Proxmox and I couldnât be happier! Things are just fine and problems went away. All of them

I can now login to Home Assistant via Web browser. However, it doesnât have the ability to install addons:
Hello,
After reading these posts, I would like to check with you if there is still no way to install the Home Assistant Supervised version on WSL2 ?
Thank you in advance for your answer
For me, the easiest way is running this portable version on your Windows machine:
No wsl needed
No docker needed
Has been working great for me for the last year!
Only problem Iâm having is that it sometimes wont run because it says its already running / port 8123 is already in use.
I fixed this by creating a âstart home assistant.cmdâ file with this content:
@ECHO OFF
ECHO Killing existing Home Assistant process...
for /f "tokens=5" %%a in ('netstat -aon ^| find ":8123" ^| find "LISTENING"') do taskkill /f /pid %%a
ECHO DONE ! starting up Home Assistant...
C:\homeassistant\hass.cmd
It finds whatever process is using port 8123, terminates it, then starts my (portable) Home Assistant which on my pc is located at c:\homeassistant.
I really love how easy this is.
