Hi.
I have been using Home Assistant for several years now.
I am about to replace my current hardware.
Today i run Lubuntu and Home assistant in docker-compose. This is a headless machine and i havent kept the OS up to date.
I share several disks with Samba to other computers in out house.
I run a lot of other containers as well.
ESPHome
Zigbee2Mqtt
Deconz
Zwave2Mqtt
Frigate with USB Coral.
mqtt
Music Assistant
Whisper
OpenWakeword
Unifi Controller
Node Red
Wiregard
Immich
Maybe Owncloud
I know all of these are available as addons
My first thought was to install Proxmox on new hardware and run HA OS.
Everybody say it is soo simple and has a lot of advantages. Snapshots ETC. I guess it is a lot less maintaining the underlying OS?
I even thinking of advantages with more Vms for other stuff.
And it seems to give me advantages in case of harware failure to get up and running in other hardware fast.
After Reading about in and tried to install it and run HA OS sucessfully questions appeared.
Best way to share my disks?
Sure i can install samba on the host but some people advise against it.
At the same time as I want to share the same disks with serveral VMs.
Frigate is recommended to run och bare metal. Sure I have seen som succsessful LXC. And even a lot och unsuccessful examples.
I need USB Coral passthroug and maybe GPU passthorugh.
Of course this machine needs a disk, this disk should be shared with samba.
I have plans running Whisper with GPU. Will this give me “two layers” och problems setting it up? First get the GPU driver in the host, then passthrough my GPU to some VM.
Is it even possible to run whisper in HA OS with GPU? Or should i run a VM with “special” docker containers.
Another thought, all VMs seems to get its own IP-address. Can i create a internal network for the VMs that just need to communicate with HA OS?
My Linux skills is bad, i manage to follow guides but i have cant solve problem om my own.
Someone who can give me advice here?
