I am installing Home Assistant in a virtual machine (KVM virt-install) on a debian machine. I am following the guide at https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux/

I have downloaded the image and created the virtual machine. The guide now just says to navigate to homeassistant.local, with no follow up. The site is not reachable for me. Accessing the ip:8123 directly also does not work. How can i troubleshoot this?

The virtual machine is stuck at a login page. I couldn't find info online on the credentials

The guide seriously needs to be reworked

#

#

I don't even know what I'm looking at

#

Is installing to a virtual machine still supported?

#

That is an EFI shell. Something you see when the OS cannot be started.

#

Is kvm in particular not supported anymore?

#

Or something else

#

Because I got it to boot, but now it's just constantly looping

#

Gets to grub, selects "slot A" text appears and then kernel panic

#

Unable to mount fs

#

Is there an updated configuration somewhere?

How exactly did you set it up?

#

I tried the command line first. It finishes setting up the VM but there's no response after, so I deleted it and tried the graphical install

#

I set it up exactly like the guide says, the issue is that there are new fields that don't match anything in the guide

#

I left those as default

#

But I always get stuck in a boot loop

#

It fails to mount some file system then reboots

And you adjusted the CLI command according to your setup?

#

And what architecture is the host you are trying to run this on?
I think the images are for x64 systems.

The cli doesn't specify any change, besides the link to the image

#

My machine is x86_64

This is the guide I've found. If there's a different version let me know

Okay. Was just wondering why the picture stated aarch64.

lavish knot Okay. Was just wondering why the picture stated aarch64.

The guide didn't specify, so I tried a few

#

I'll try from the start

This one is for KVM.

Yep

#

#

The os also isn't an exact match
