Installation Home Assistant OS

Hello all.
I i have for some time now been running my HAOS instans on a Proxmox server (9.1.7 Linux 6.17.13-2-pve) along side my FreePBX witout problems.

Then here the other day i made a frigate instans on the Proxmox server.
It all whent fin and its all up and running.

Now the thing is that i cant connect to my HA instans from outside my network anymore.
The only new thing i have done is the install of frigate and opened a port in my router for frigate.

I have not made changes that would touch the HA setup for external access.
Exept if the frigate install have anything to do with it.

My setup in short is a Lenovo M700 tiny more or less stock.
My router is a Linksys wrt3200acm with openwrt 25.2.

The problem is not in the DDNS setup do to my VPN i run on the router works and the DDNS setup i set on the HA setup.

Is there maybe someone on here there knows much about HA and Proxmox that maybe know what my problem can be?

Hi, I would strongly advice against opening ports on your router but if that’s ‘the only’ thing you did: maybe you have to reboot your router after the port configuration.

I know the risk of opening ports.
I have an IT education.

The router don’t seems to be the problem do to the other ports I have opened is still open and working.

The only thing that doesn’t work is my HA and it stopped working right after I made the frigate install on the proxmox server.
Therefor i suspect there’s something wrong in the proxmox setup now.

Can you reach your HA locally?

Like Nick says, don’t just open ports to the outside. You could deploy a reverse proxy like nginx and make it more secure that way.

have a look at this:

7

Yes.
Theres no problems locally

I totaly forgot to say that.
I also run a nginx app-in on my HA install and are using the 443 port to my HA setup from outside my home

Cant seems to see that this should do to help.

Also after install and the config copy/past part and a reboot later it just post and error in my logs about it cant set it up

Okay…
A bit of an update on the problem.

I looked in to the nginx add-in and changed a few setting back and forword and looked in the log for changes.

My routers IP address was on my fail2ban block list for some reason.
So that may work if there have been a hack attack.

So now i atleast have the access.
But now i just get a white screen with the text “error while loading page lovelace.” and a “back” option there does nothing.

so i guess i have a whole other problem now.

I cant even open the menu so i can get to the settings now.
But it looks to be isolated to my phone only.

Then I don’t follow why you are opening ports for Frigate?

“The only new thing i have done is the install of frigate and opened a port in my router for frigate”

But it looks to be isolated to my phone only.

Is that because your phone is not on the wifi? Have you tried from other, external devices (like your pc with shared internet from your phone for example).

that was only for testing.
That port is closed now.
But it was the only router related i had done.

Thats when im not on wifi and its only on my phone.
but i will do a cahce clean on the phone and see what it will do.

But right now im moving the HA install between ethernet ports for getting it back on the original install do to testing if it was the HA install or proxmox install there ws the root of the problem.

Okay…
From the looks of it was the problem that my IP address form my router was blocked in my fail2ban jail.

The solution was to remove it from the jail and it was online.

The next problem with the white screen on my phone do i not know the reson for but my solution was just to clear all the data for the app and login again.

i have also tried to install frigate again (deleted the install in the process of finding the error) and it all seems to work as it should now.
