Installing Home Assistant OS using Proxmox 8

You are correct and I totally overlooked the difference between the edge and opt-in kernel. In my mind I was expecting something called β€œedge” to be newer then something called β€œopt-in” :man_facepalming:

Maybe an idea to extend your script to support both the Edge and Opt-in kernels?
I have the impression most people who stumble on this are just trying newer kernels because they have some issue and your scripts allow to easily try a different version… I don’t really β€œcare” what kernel I land as long as it offers a stable result. I was perfectly happy with 5.18 until I had problems with the latest 5.18. I rather try a newer branch than forever pin a specific version though.

Hello ,

I have readed through this thread and did not find the answer.

I am migrating HA from Proxmox Debian VM + HA supervised to a VM HA OS install . as per section 3 of this guide

Actually β€œpreparing home assistant” has been completed on the web UI and then I will be ready to restore the backup of the supervised VM install to the new HAOS VM.

Will it worked ?

Thank you

Hello guys!

After I discovered the option to migrate my HA from RPI to VM via Proxmox I was very happy impatient to do it. So, I bought a recommended mini PC (Dell Optiplex 3050 -i7-6700T with 8GB RAM & 256 GB SSD) and I’m looking now to improve this hardware configuration in order to virtualise the following apps/services:

  • HomeAssistant
  • openVPN
  • Plex
  • PFSense
  • Torrent server

The backup disk for photos, videos, downloaded files, etc will be either SSD connected via usb or a NAS Synology.

For the RAM memory I think it is simple. I can buy, 16GB or 32GB. My concern is related to the SSD and M.2, memories. My questions are:

  1. It is recommended to use the m.2 for root drive (-local(pve)) and the 2.5” drive for local-lvl (images, containers, VMs) or it is enough to use only one disk?
  2. Considering the huge number of writes on SSD/M.2 disks because of virtualisation or the use of ZFS file system, it is important to consider the TBW (Terabytes Written) parameter or it is not applied for a simple homeLab configuration like it was described above? Do you recommend to buy a SH enterprise SSD instead of a new consumer SSD?

Please share with me your experience/knowledge…
Thank you !

My setup is a laptop i5-8350U, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM and a 512GB USB NVME (formatted FAT32) for backups. I also prefer using EXT4 file system.

Hello,
I started today with my Proxmox installation on my Server.
As HAOS does not support Raid-1, I decided to go for Proxmox and so I installed it with Raid-1 with ZFS.
Was this a clever idea? Or do you recommend other Filesystems?
I have 2 SSDs.

Looking for a recommendation here… Currently running HA Supervised from a Proxmox VM running Debian11. I have spun up another VM using the latest HA OS version installed with the script here. All good to this point.

I always change my VM’s to run with static IP’s. Currently the HA Supervised in Debian is 10.1.xx.15. The new install uses a a non-static IP. In this case 10.1.xx.224. I would like the new HA OS to use the 10.1.xx.15. (Old VM will be turned off and deleted.)
My question is: What is the correct order to changing the assigned IP to static? Stop the old VM and change HA OS to the 10.1.xx.15, then load backup? Or load backup first, then change IP after all is running?
TIA,
Cheers!

Shutdown both VM’s, then copy the MAC address from your HA Supervised VM to your HAOS VM.
Start the HAOS VM, it will be using 10.1.xx.15.

Makes sense. Will give it a go.
Thanks
Cheers!

Trying to install on a friends Proxmox 7 after I have run updates on it.

But I get this error

- Creating HAOS VM... !! ERROR 25@280 Unknown failure occurred.

My guess is not enough disk space. Sure I have seen similar when trying in install on the wrong disk in my server

Thanks for the fast replay
Diskspace is over 1 TB free where I want to install it

How much space does it need, I have notice that there I want to save the VM is Type β€œdir”
It maybe does not like it?
The other is lvmthin but only 60 GB free and I’m not sure how much HAOS need?

/UPDATE
Did try on lvmthin but error that to, it was a error I did have before I did run a update so I did go back to my first storage and same error

When I select another VIMID I get this

 - Creating HAOS VM...400 Parameter verification failed.

What version of Proxmox?

Try

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/vm/haos-vm-v4.sh)"

Edited

Same error
Proxmox have version 7.0-8
I did remove the old vm disk first before I run the script.

Is bedtime now and going to try more tomorrow.

Yeah, efitype wasn’t defined until PVE 7.2
I’d suggest upgrading to PVE 7.3

well, i started from scratch, installed PVE7.3, followed by post-script, then got stucked on HA-install-script … " This version of proxmox virtual environment is not supported " Requires PVE Version: =>7.2 … Exiting :frowning:

Sure you’re using PVE 7.3?

It’s now Fixed
