Hello. There is a laptop with Linux mint preinstalled. Please tell me, how I can install the HA as a second OS with the option of booting (in GRUB).
I don’t think that’s possible. You can put it in a virtual machine or in a docker container.
Home assistant needs to run 24/7. You don’t choose when to run it.
I need to test the work in order to select the necessary hardware configuration.
You can try it out with(in) a virtual machine. The docs have you covered!
I have Linux, Internet via wifi, and the instructions require Internet via ethernet
I doubt that it is an real requirement rather then best practice to don’t use wifi for servers
Ok. I try it.
