[Guide] Home Assistant on Apple Silicon Mac using HA OS AArch64 Image

Thanks a lot, it works with an M3 Mac Pro (Sequoia). Just had to extract the disk image after the download. Perhaps a small improvement on step 2, to avoid novice people like me to stop trying.

I ran through this, following instructions multiple times, but I end up with “Display output is not active” every time. Any ideas?

same error here!

I am also encountering the “Display output is not active” error, but I found a workaround.

You can add a serial device in “Built-in Terminal” mode and use that terminal to interact with HAOS.

To log in, simply type root. After logging in, you can run the command ha network info to view the IP address you need to connect to.

Set the emulated display card to virtio-gpu-pci

Hi @Jz777 - were you able to figure out the issue ? I am running into the same problem.

Nope, sorry.

I solved it by buying a used NUC on eBay for $35, only to find out my local university surplus had them for less. The NUC is doing fine running HAOS with no containers.

I definitely don’t regret spending the money to avoid problems with containers. It could be the smartest thing with HA that I’ve done to date. :wink:

Hi all,

I am completely new to HA and while I can use CLI, I am in no way expert.

I am trying to get HA working on an iMac24. The UTM interfaces have changed a bit but I managed to follow the guide (thanks BTW) and work out what to do and now have the virtual instance running with the CLI prompt of -

ha >

However, I cannot access either port 8123 or 4357. I suspect it is a networking issue from reading the comments. The iMac 24 only ships with a wifi interface. I have an ethernet adapter but I have not found it to be 100% reliable.

When I set up the network I selected bridged but did not select an interface. I left it as Auto assuming it would find the WiFi interface and use it but it does not appear to have done so.

I cannot find a guide to run HA natively on a silicon Mac so UTM seems the best option but only if I can get the WiFi to respond. I stopped the machine, edited the network to be shared and relaunched it.

Port 8123 appears to open correctly (but I have yet to explore it) but Port 4357 runs up to a point but then gives the following repetitive error.

Home Assistant installation. Retrying in 30sec
2024-12-20 22:42:03.421 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.jobs] ‘Updater.fetch_data’ blocked from execution, no supervisor internet connection
2024-12-20 22:42:03.421 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.homeassistant.core] Error on Home Assistant installation. Retrying in 30sece

First question is will using the shared network in lieu of bridged give me issues?

Second question is why is the Supervisor page not completing properly?

Are there logs I should post?

Finally, is this the right place to ask these questions or should I open a new thread?

Thanks in Advance,

Geoff

Thank you, fmon! I can confirm that setting virtio-gpu-pci resolves the issue. On a side note, I also updated to HAOS 14.1, though I’m not sure if that update is also necessary.
