Hey Fellas,
I’m new to Linux but I thought I’d give it a go to run a Home Assstant server. I have tried multiple tutoriuals on trying to get this going with no success on Ubuntu Server 22.10. I know I’m being pretty broad but each command seems to work but with a few errors, some of them seem to be dependancies. I had no issues setting up plex but can’t get Home Assistant running.
These are the tutorials I’ve been using…
Cheers,
Brad.
Is there a reason why you specifically want Home Assistant Core on Ubuntu? Assuming you want to use the server for other things, Proxmox is a much easier path, as it has a suite of helper scripts for Home Assistant. I would recommend installing Home Assistant OS VM instead, as this comes with AddOns plus more.
Or docker install
Thanks Michael, I have no experience with Linux but would you be able to expand on your previous message. I didn’t know there was differenet versions but on advice from a co-worker thats in IT, he recommended that I don’t run virtual machine as it would assign dedicated resources from the limited amount I have. Its a I5 3470 3.2ghz with 16gb of ram, hence he recommended that I don’t use the GUI as it would take up additional resources and once its done, it’ll be sitting in a back wardrobe once setup. At this point I just want to run Home Assistant and Plex.
I did ask him about Docker but with no Linux experience, he recommended against it. He’s right so far as this is a big learning curve. Any advice would be appreciated.
I’ve tried using the proxmox scripts as you recommended but it keeps telling me to run as root? I’m using the sudo command.
Do I need to be using Desktop version of Ubuntu for Proxmox?
You install Proxmox on the bare metal (instead of your Ubuntu), then you can install HAOS (or any other OS for that matter) on a virtual machine.
