I installed virtualbox on my windows 11 laptop. Then installed HA.
Now I should be able to access HA via http://homeassistant.local:8123/...but it doesn’t work.
What did I do wrong ?

did you try it ip address
Did you try http://xx.yy.zz.aa:8123 where xx.yy.zz.aa is the ip-adress of your VM ?
I saw a video of someone who had this ip adresse on the screen, which I don’t have
Sorry, but how do I find the ip-address of my VM ?
All done…did the installation again and now is ok

Good evening all,
I am having the same issue as above. my only question is Can I re-install using the command line or do I have to re-flash the unit?
Thanks.
Hi all!
I am getting the same issue as Christian and Mark. Unfortunately, reinstallation did not seem to do the trick for me. I’d love any suggestions or feedback since it seems multiple people are running into this.
Thanks!
I think your host on Virtual Box not connected to local LAN.
Use following VirtualBox - How to connect LAN computers to Guest
I am having the same problem with my VDI en HA installation. I can see the IPv4 address in my router. In the Norton firewall I have HA as trusted added. But it still wont start. Someone a guess?
Thx
Problem solved. In VDI I had to hit the ‘Repair’ on network connection on the VM
Try using the following comand line in to the terminal:
sudo apt install apparmor jq wget curl udisks2 libglib2.0-bin network-manager dbus systemd-journal-remote -y
That should install all the dependencies and make up your connection again
Allow me to bring this threat back up.
I have freshly installed HA in a docker container. Everytime I try to use one of the redirects to http://homeassistant.local:8123 I get an error:
This site can’t be reached
homeassistant.local’s DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem.
DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE
What am I missing?
Try https://your ip:8123 . This has nothing to do with the threads topic Virtualbox though.

Thanks.
I am running it in docker without HTTPS at the moment. But I realized I can adjust the redirect page from HA and customize it on a browser level to redirect to my IP instead of homeassistant.local.
If your router has a domain name, try using that in place of “local” for instance I use http://homeassistant.t-mobile.com:8123.
