Hi, I have been running Home Assistant Supervised in UTM on my Mac mini M1 but struggled with auto restarting after power downs/failures and USB device connections/reconnections. I live rurally and often have power outages/failures.
I have now switched to VMWare Fusion 13.6.1 and am running stably using haos_generic-aarch64-13.2.vmdk which I setup as an “Other linux 5.X kernel 64-bit ARM”. I increased HD size to 32Gb, installed my home assistant instance from a backup. I then set the VM to autostart and power off when closed, added VMWare to my login items, assigned USB devices to be always assigned to the VM, and bingo, it all works. Yay.
I hope this helps others
