I can access http://homeassistant.local:8123/lovelace/0 on firefox and chrome but opera browser throws me this “ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED” and HA page won’t work. I disabled VPN on opera…
Maybe DNS over https?
Try disabling it:
Open Settings
Select Privacy & security
Select DNS provider
Toggle the Use Secure DNS slider to Off
It was disabled
"# This site can’t be reached
homeassistant.local’s server IP address could not be found.
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED"
Some browsers add “S” to http. Have you tried using your IP:8123?
Opera does not. Funny thing, ip does not work on any browser. I triple checked the HA ip address from vmware. How can I get to the settings menu in vmware’s HA?
No clue. I run Home Assistant OS on bare metal. No Virtual OS here to complicate things. Have you tried pinging homeassistant.local /4 ?
Hmm, is that the actual command? It says it cannot find it
Yes.
I named mine “home” instead of the default “homeassistant” because I am basically lazy. But homeassistant.local /4 will reply with the IPv4 address for homeassistant.local. If you leave off the /4 you get the IPv6 address which is generally useless to the average user.
ping homeassistant.local /4
Ping request could not find host homeassistant.local. Please check the name and try again.
I run Home Assistant on bare metal. No virtual machines or containers* to complicate things. I suspect that if you are running the ping command from another VM on the same computer that you are not on the same local network. Are you running the ping command from another PC or another VM?
*Yes, anal users, I know that Home Assistant is a container in a container, but the user doesn’t have to manage the container.
Home Assistant OS (HAOS) is built using Buildroot, a tool that creates lightweight Linux distributions for embedded systems. It’s not based on a regular Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Debian. Instead, it’s optimized specifically for running Home Assistant and its add-ons. Docker is the container engine for running Home Assistant components and add-ons. The File System is SquashFS for read-only file systems and ZRAM for temporary files and swap space. The Bootloader is GRUB2 for UEFI-based systems.
I fixed it but still don’t know what is different for chromium browsers. I am using an eero mesh that have been using different subnets. I set it up so every eero device uses just one subnet and now HA works on opera and chrome as well.
Thank you
