I'm gonna thread us here for a moment. Can you share some pictures?

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:28 PM

#

yeah hold on lemme open imgur

#

Ah, you chose pre-enrolled keys for the EFI disk. That enables secure boot which you don't want.

#

Stop the VM. Re-create the EFI disk without that, then when booting press ESC in the Console to get into the boot mananager.
Device Manager > Secure Boot Configuration > Attempt Secure Boot > Deselect > ESC > ESC > Reset

Takes forever to shutdown lol

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

That's why I said Stop.

#

Click the task, cancel it, then do a Stop.

#

Shutdown attempts to "press the shutdown button" but there's no one listening at this time

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

Ah okey

#

okey im in bios now

#

Also see here for more recommended changes to the settings and why: <#general-archived message>

#

Perfect. Now ESC > ESC > Reset and it "should" work

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

For processor I'd suggest changing the processor type to host (best performance and allows the VM to access the CPU's features such as AES and so on).
For the disk(s) you should disable pre-enrolled keys (also enables secure boot), enable discard (makes thin allocation work) and SSD emulation (feels right) if the storage is on one.
In options you should enable the guest agent (proper backups/snapshots, stats, shutdowns and so on) and disable tablet for pointer (wastes CPU).
Since you enabled pre-enrolled keys you might have to disable secure boot manually in the boot manager by pressing ESC while booting.```

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

I'd recommend you apply the other settings I linked though

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

just copying it here

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

Hmm. Strange but okay

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

Seems to be running now, lemme see if I can do those changes

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

Some of them need a cold boot. You can see that by the orange color. Best done initially

Install PROXMOX
Create a VM

GENERAL > VM ID '101'

GENERAL > START AT BOOT

OS > DO NOT USE ANY MEDIA

SYSTEM > BIOS 'UEFI'
EFI DISK > TURN OFF PRE ENROLLED KEYS

MEMORY > MEMORY '3072'

Download .qcow2 and attach

wget https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/11.1/haos_ova-11.1.qcow2.xz
unxz haos_ova-11.1.qcow2.xz
qm disk import 101 haos_ova-11.1.qcow2 local-lvm

Boot Machine

Where in my install list would I do those things?

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

I'm not sure how to answer that. Some of those are set when creating the VM, some are set in Hardware/Options. I told you everything you need though.

#

If you did all the changed I suggested you can post pictures again and I can make recommendations if you wnat

This correct?

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

Yes

Looks fine as well

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:45 PM

https://i.imgur.com/n2AQBEQ.png

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

Yep

#

You can change most of this after creation as well, you don't have to create a new VM, btw. I guess you just want to get a feel what to choose in the future?

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:46 PM

Yeah, setting one up for my parents rn. Debating to redo our one at home

#

Currently we use HAOS on a laptop but networking within haos sucks

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

https://i.imgur.com/uIbzNlM.png
I use a few extra options but yes

#

I'm actually not a fan of HAOS myself (google HAOS dns) but people use it and I want to help them so I gotta be familiar with it as well, hence it goes in a VM.

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

Yeah dns on it has been a pain in the ass. Hence why we're debating moving it to a vm

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

It's certainly easier to snapshot/backup and troubleshoot it in a VM.

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

how would you use grafana and vscode without HAOS tho. The plan is for my parents to work on it and not me

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

I run my production HA and others in separate docker containers "managed" through docker compose.

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

Ah alright

#

that'd make sense

#

Is that a lot harder to set up at front

#

my linux skills are quite rusty. Ít's been a while

How do you use hacs elements then? Is there an easy way to use that

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

I basically have one big VM that runs all my main stuff. I've migrated a few things to LXC containers and other VMs now.
Not really. You just have to add them to the sidebar with panel_iframe.
HACS works fine in a container install.

#

Grafana as example: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/installation/docker/#run-the-latest-stable-version-of-grafana

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

might do that for my own setup

#

The one for my parents will be much simpler

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

And then this in the configuration.yaml

panel_iframe:
    grafana:
        title: "Grafana"
        url: "http://ip:3000"
        icon: mdi:someicon
        require_admin: true

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

Is it possible to setup stuff beforehand so I don't have to takeout HASS for like a week while I figure stuff out

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

Set up what exactly?

#

You can run clone the VM, test stuff there and then when it works apply it on the other

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

It's currently only HAOS.

#

Dont really have any other device here that functions as a server

So on our home server i would do:

Backup HAOS

Install proxmox
Import HAOS
Create a new vm for the future hass

#

Then in the new vm I can mess arround

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

Yep. Make snapshot, mess around, restore. It's what I do when I test something in HAOS

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

alright

#

just curious whats your hass like?

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

I automated my snapshots but still: https://github.com/Corsinvest/cv4pve-autosnap

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

How much stuff do you manage

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

My HA is very simple actually. Most of my stuff is still in Node RED

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

https://i.imgur.com/Hx4iLvO.png
Ours looks very nice but havent had the time to make 90% of it work

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Mine is rather boring. I mostly use a few functional HACS things, not visual. I want my HA to be rather stable so I try not to use so much of it

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Do you know how I can disable the laptop going to sleep when I close the lid

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

Proxmox VE is on the laptop?

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

yeah

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

echo "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" >> /etc/systemd/logind.conf
systemctl restart systemd-logind

#

See if that works. Also see here: https://old.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/fbyfee/disable_laptop_lid_to_use_it_as_a_server/

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

Jup that worked thanks

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

There's two proxmox discord servers, btw

latent turret Nov 8, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

Invite me through dms, might be useful when I'm redoing our own one

void rapids Nov 8, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

I can post them here, should be fine:
https://discord.gg/8R2W3jCWtw
https://discord.gg/QEk2Evu
None of these are mine (I don't run any public ones) but it always feels a bit wrong to post other servers. Even the esphome one.

Would you say setting up LXC containers for different services is worth it?

#

So one LXC Container for HASS Itself, one for grafana and influx

#

If so do I create ubuntu containers or something else?

void rapids Nov 9, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

Worth depends what you gain from it. I run most things in one VM in docker containers. I only use LXC if I have to

latent turret Nov 9, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

Ah alright, would you have any suggestions for a secure connection to another proxmox server in another network

#

I can't seem to find any guides

#

Someone said wireguard but couldnt help me with it so I'm very confused

void rapids Nov 9, 2023, 10:30 PM

#

I use tailscale for my remote PVE: https://tailscale.com/kb/1133/proxmox/
Assuming you meant over the net.

latent turret Nov 9, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

Is that secure?

#

And do you install it in CT/VM or just on the server
