Installing Home Assistant into Proxmox 7
Publish date: Feb-2022. First up is to ensure that Proxmox and it’s host is fully up to date of course. Then, the project is to download and install a script that will work digital voodoo and invoke the HomeAssistant. I do not normally trust magick script but in this case it seems the community itself recommends it. However, due it seems that due to differences in Proxmox7, the current version, and Proxmox6, the general-use script to stand up the Home Assistant service no longer works 100%.
