I’ve been using HA for a long time on a raspberrypi and am now trying to move over to my dedicated server. I spun up a docker (technically podman) container by issuing the following from the documentation:
docker run -d --name homeassistant --privileged --restart=unless-stopped -e TZ=America/New York -v /var/homeassistant:/config --network=host ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
Everything goes smoothly and it spins up a container. Container is running with no alerts or errors. I try to reach 12.7.0.0.1:8123, no luck, same for localhost:8123 and all other variations thereof.
When I pull up the terminal in the container and have a look around, I don’t see anything in there related to home assistant. Am I being daft? All instructions are super basic, spin up the container, start it, log into webUI…
I assume you mean 127.0.0.1:8123 and not 12.7.0.0.1:8123 ?
After you execute your docker run command try issuing the following command a few times to see if for some reason the container is failing / restarting. docker ps -a
Each time you issue this command it should report an uptime for the container. If it is restarting then you will need to begin trying to understand why.
The docker is not restarting or failing, running smoothly.

Well, I got it up and running with some pain and fighting, unfortunately it has other issues. I’m missing a lot of the options on the left bar, can’t get to configuration, don’t have any section for -Add-Ons, etc.
I think that home assistant just isn’t compatible with an actual server, specifically RHEL 9 running on a PowerEdge.
