Hi everyone,
Looking for a little expert guidance. So I have a Dell laptop that I am trying to use for home assistant rather than going through the endless problems I have had with a Raspberry Pi3 and SDcards…
I am very new to Linux and have a little experience with HA but could an expert please tell me where to start sorting this out? seems I have just one hurdle let to go then I can restore my snapshot hopefully.
Hi,
yes I have sorted mine out. I ended up starting over with a new download of Ubuntu and going through the tutorial above word for word.
My problem was the DHCP side of things. When I first installed it my router gave it an address I didnt want to use, so I manually changed it. That was my mistake, I should have just reserved the IP address in the router at the start using the mac address.
Thats going to be an awesome HA server when you get it going, certainly room for expansion. lol
