Hello Everyone! Happy New Year.
I’m learning about Home Assistant in this year.
At the moment I installed Oracle Virtual Box in my local PC. The operating system is Windows 10.
I installed Oracle Linux 4.x (64-bit) and haos_ova-14.1.vdi in Virtual Box Manager.
After start Virtual Box, Virtual Box Console displays the message like this.
“Home Assistant URL: http://homeassistant.local:8123
Observer URL: http://homeassistant.local:4357”
So I opened the chrome browser in my local PC and tried to access homeassistant using homeassistant.local:8123.
But I couldn’t access.
Please let me know how to troubleshoot this.
Thanks all.
It should also display the ip address. Try connecting to that as your network seems to have an issue with mDNS.
http://ip_address_here:8123
What do you get when you ping that address?
Is your device that you use to connect to HA in the same network, being 10.0.2.x?
Check this: Installation - Home Assistant → Alternative
It looks like you forgot to do step 5 of the installation instructions,
https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/alternative#hypervisor-specific-configuration
Then go to Network > Adapter 1 . Choose Bridged Adapter and choose your network adapter.
Your adapter is in network translation mode (NAT) not bridged mode.
You will need to stop the virtual machine before you do this.
Once you have set the network correctly start the virtual machine again and get the new ip address. You might even be able to use http://homeassistant.local:8123/
I just updated the network translation mode from NAT to Bridget Adapter.
The result of Virtual Box Console is
But I can’t access yet.
It has not received an ip address from your router.
I guess you also have to restart VB.
So how should I do?
I just restarted, but the result is the same.
Did you check/doublecheck your settings & that link that we posted?
Yes, I followed it.
You could give that virtual machine a fixed IP (what I would do anyway for something that is serving your network) in the range of your other devices.
I wonder if your Windows is blocking that DHCP request.
Excuse me, please explain in more detail how I should do.
Yeah turn off windows firewall temporarily and restart the VM to see if that helps.
I just did it, but the result is the same.
Side note, just FYI: I don’t know if you’re using this setup to get familiar with HA or plan to run it that way to automate your place.
Anyway, you have chosen the worst combo Win+VB to run a production system.
Even if you leave your Windows system on all the time, updates can render your HA unavailable.
