Installation

While it would be rather nice to be able to simply install Home Assistant straight onto a LXC, it seems that the maintainers feel otherwise.

The only straightforward install that actually seems to work is installing their own version of Linux onto either bare metal or a VM.

As a bonus silly point, rather than just setting up a VM as usual, it is recommended that you run a community-supplied script on your Proxmox host to build the VM.

(Their instructions...)

  • Run this command in the Proxmox shell:
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/vm/haos-vm.sh)"
  • Follow the on-screen prompts. Use default settings unless you need custom configurations (e.g., network bridge, VLAN).
  • The script downloads the latest HAOS qcow2 image, creates the VM, imports the disk, configures UEFI, and starts the VM.
  • Once complete, check the VM’s Summary tab in the Proxmox GUI to find the IP address assigned by DHCP.
  • Access Home Assistant at http://[VM_IP]:8123 to complete setup.
