HA os through synology VM

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hello,

Long time listener first time caller

I recently bought a synology 224+ NAS

My plan is to get a zigbee network coordinator and run HA from a VM within my NAS

I was hoping to have someone with security knowledge advise me on how to secure my connection

Will running it in a VM be enough or do I need to set up some firewall rules so the VM can’t see my network?

Should I connect the zigbee devices then block them from the internet entirely?

If neither of these would be viable options, what would you recommend?

Zigbee devices are not connected to the internet, so no idea (or no way, rather) to block then from the internet.

No idea why you would want to block HA from your own network.

Making your HA public on the internet is another case, but that requires you to take extra actions m, like setting up port forwarding in your router.

What is more important at the moment is your amount of ram in the NAS box.
2Gb is just not enough to run a HA setup in a VM and NAS service at the same time, so make sure you get it upgraded to 6Gb.
