I’ve no idea if a Home Assistant OS update or some Proxmox update has caused this issue. Is anyone else getting it as of today? Also please note I’m very much a beginner with Proxmox, I know enough to get myself running but that’s about it. So please add additional details if you can around things I could look at doing.
Try to change machine to q35. If that does not do the trick it is most likely a UEFI issue. Have you played around with UEFI. If not some sort of corruption. With VM shutdown make a full clone of the VM and try to start the new VM.
Before I change this, I just wanted to ask why it might be that it’s been working for a month+ and now suddenly it does not given I’ve changed nothing in the general setup.
Feels like changing a setting like this would only apply if something major had changed given it was working? Or maybe that’s not true for some reason?
Computers are logical machines. Your system stopped responding and the issue is either something you changed and are not aware of (in most instances this is the case even if people are adamant they changed nothing) or some sort of corruption.
I have suggested changes which are beneficial to any HAOS setup. Up to you to apply or not, as they are suggestions.
If you feel uncomfortable just follow my last suggestion to clone the VM and try to start the cloned VM.
Definitely this is not right. To me it seems disk or memory corruption. I see you are running ZFS and the issue might be ZFS might be starved of resources, although you seem to have enough RAM. Have you tried to get HAOS on memory 2G/4G, instead of 8G.
One other thing you could do is follow my guide to install HAOS from scratch. If it goes through OK then the VM is corrupt. If installation does not succeed then most likely ZFS issue.
I did change the RAm to 4GB, that didn’t seem to help so I put it back. I’m not sure I understand why having 8GB of RAM could cause any issues. The reason I did it was because I’m using Frigate and I wanted to ensure it had more than enough RAM to handle the 8 cameras it runs.
In terms of Home Assistant, I have a samba backup that runs every night to my NAS. So I’ve got a full back of Home Assistant to recover to if needed. Not that its ever as simple as that
If you have corrupt RAM then not accessing those portions might point us to come closer to the source of your problems. HAOS does not really need this much RAM. You ZFS needs RAM more than HA does and you have allocated 8G to HAOS which is going to waste.
Please take a bit of time to read my guide and some of the fog might go away.
It is better to run Frigate outside HA. I have a guide almost ready which will hopefully go live next week. The secret to a reliable HA is to run everything possible in a KVM or LXC outside HAOS and then communicate using VMs. This is the beauty of Proxmox and it provides more flexibility then running services inside HA.
