Hey everyone, I’m a total newb to home assistant and the linux OS in general, so please keep that in mind.
I have a always on windows PC so I decided to attempt installation in virtual box and followed “the hook up” video guide to get it done. Right now I have a functioning installation and due to past drama I would like to clone my machine. There are some options I don’t fully understand:
Which options do I select to get my clone to work if something happens to my default machine?
Finally, before I start doing anything with home assistant, I would like it to have a static IP. I have tried to do this, also following the hook up tutorial by entering the HassOS console and using: nmcli con edit “HassOS default” and then set ipv4.addresses to the address I want home assistant to use and also set ipv4.dns and set ipv4.gateway to the address of my router. Doing this has never worked for me and the last time I tried it actually broke my virtual machine so I had to remove it and start over, hence the desire to clone. I have tried chaning settings in my router, I took my pi-hole completely out of the equation, and still no dice.
I appreciate any suggestions, thank you!
