I run mine in a proxmox VM on a 5070 so yes. You’re probably better off running HAOS in a VM as the 5070 has plenty of overhead so you can run other VMs too like influx etc if you don’t to use the addons (or like in the case of influx the addon is a version old).
I have both a setup bare metal and with Proxmox on a 5070 and both are working great.
Hi, I followed your instructions and excellent video on YouTube, creating a bootable Xubuntu flash and then using Balena to flash HA image via HA link to the onboard 16GB SATA on the 5020, but when I reboot I get a secure boot Access Denied error. However, there isn’t any option to turn SB off in the BIOS (its on v1.x) and Dell only have windows executable for BIOS updates. Any advice?
PS After trying this twice and getting the same error, I chose to install Xubuntu from the flash to the sata, to see if that would fail the same, but that installed and booted fine, with no SB error…??

Thanks for this post. I scored a ‘Wyse 5060 AMD GX-424CC SOC 2.40GHz / 4GB Ram / 64GB SSD’ for USD$30. Post#1 instructions worked perfectly.
As I begin my transition from SmartThings to HA, I can highly recommend this path. I was about to do the traditional Raspberry Pi solution, but this just feels more professional and robust.

Hi all. I’m about to start my HA journey. Will this Dell Wyse machine run HA ok?
Wyse Zx0 Z90D7 thin client Dell 7010 909740-02L 4GB RAM 16GB Flash
Dual core AMD G-T56N 1.65 GHz Processor with AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics
I have tested and use a 7010 for Home Assistant and it works great. I put a cheap 120GB SSD in so I can’t comment on 16GB working.

I have about the same problem on a Wyse 7020 ZX0Q.
I know Secure boot has something to do with it but can’t disable that in the BIOS.
Did you get it to work, or anyone else got a solution or workaround?
Got HA now running on an HP T620 from a thumb drive but I find it slow and unresponsive. Coming from a RPI 4 in a Argon One M.2 case.
Hope to get the Wyse running but might try to put the drive from the Wyse in the HP first…
Not familiar with the 7020, but is there an option for Boot Mode? If so can you try changing the Mode to Legacy?
Just looked again and no option for that.
Looks to be a real basic and simpel bios version, trying to find another way of removing Secure boot or trying to find a way to replace bios with the option to remove secure boot
Keep us posted if you find an option.
Looks as though I may be having a similar issue.
Can’t for the life of me get Home Assistant to start after successfully flashing to SSD on a 5020.
Every time I try start up I get ‘Secure Boot - Image failed to verify with ACCESS DENIED.’
I cannot seem to find a way to disable secure boot so for now am stuck scratching my head.
EDIT - Just managed to solve my own issue (I think) after hours of frustration. I set a ‘Supervisor Password’, that allowed me to then get into settings that had previously been locked and disable Secure Boot. On save and exit from BIOS screen Home Assistant looks to be starting up for the first time as expected.

Does your T620 not have a SSD since you run it from a thumb drive?
unfortunately. more and more of the newer thin client x86 based system have locked down EFI system to windows.
so unless we know how to chain load a windows efi to grub efi (while linux can chain load from grub efi to windows efi but not the other way around) were sol on this route
the best case we can get to this is modify the bios of the thin client which is not a thing yet, though there are people/service offer that do modify the bios on your system to enable such features. but all of these will require access to a eeprom programmer to dump your current bios and patch it and flash it back. after all these bios is just a modified version of AMI, Phoenix or Intel.
Just used a workaround.
The Wyse 7020 lets me install Debian 12, so installed that.
Then installed HA supervised in docker.
Runs the same as HAOS but I just need to keep Debian updated untill a new version of Debian comes a long and the reinstall.
Got it working now for a week and runs fine
Yes it did, now have it as a spare with HAOS installed on an nvme drive.
Just didn’t want to breakdown my Argon One with that drive yet.
