I have HAOS setup via VMWare on Win10. This afternoon, I restarted my physical machine and when it came back up, I'm now seeing the 'waiting for CLI to start' message. What can I do to troubleshoot the potential causes? Where can I locate logs?

#

I installed HAOs about a week ago. I just completed migrating all the Zigbee and Zwave devices from Smartthings to HAOS. Nothing added/installed recently other than devices and the last device was added over 36 hours ago.

Not sure what happened.

This is the screen I have on the VMware console. But when I attempt to navigate to my HAOS instance I get no response.

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 12:48 AM

#

alright - so HAOS is running. It's just the web front end I can't get to. All my devices and Alexa's respond.

#

How do I get the web front up and running?

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

I can connect via the Android app and control everything. Alexa still works. The only thing inaccessible is navigating to the URL directly - which is how I've been accessing things from my desktop to manage.

Anyone have any ideas why I cannot access?

#

I've turned firewall off - same symptoms. I've removed/re-added the network adapter from the VM. All remains the same.

Why censor local ips? How do you attempt to access it on your desktop?
What does ha network info say?

#

Not sure what was needed to censor. But it's connected to the network. I can access the dashboards and interface on my Android app. Devices respond, turn on/off. I can use Alexa to control devices.

I just can't use my browser to access HA.

I need to see your HA's local ip and the local ip of your computer you try to access it from. For all I know your PC might be in a different subnet. Can you access it via its ip?

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 1:14 PM

#

#

The PC hosting it is on the same subnet

#

I was able to access it via the IP the night before. After I rebooted my PC I couldn't access via the browser.

#

I'd like to see myself because if it's currently accessible by your phone core is running so I networking is the obvious thing to check.

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 1:34 PM

#

I agree. I'm just not seeing anything jumping out at me as misconfigured in networking

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

Do you want to see a screenshot of the network config setup within HA?

viral flicker Jun 10, 2025, 2:54 PM

#

I'm still waiting on receiving the ip of your PC.

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

The IP on my PC (that is hosting the VM) is 10.58.52.44

viral flicker Jun 10, 2025, 5:47 PM

#

Hmm. What is the bridge connected to? Might be some kind network loop or something.

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

Here's the VM network settings.

viral flicker Jun 10, 2025, 6:33 PM

#

I can't really tell to which NIC it is bridged to. Can you try to set it manually to your ethernet adapter? Do you use WiFi? Can you try a traceroute to the ip?

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

#

I went and deleted the docker desktop entries from my hosts file (docker not installed anymore - old project). Now when I run tracert I get the following:

The desktop hosting the VM is wired into my network.

This is an excerpt of the VMWare logs.

Check if the windoes network mode is set to private. Also answer the other question above and try the suggestion.

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 9:40 PM

#

Yes - network connection is set to private and allows network discovery in firewall

flint rapids Jun 10, 2025, 9:42 PM

I don't see any ability to point it to a specific network adapter. It has the network adapter connected and operational in the connected devices.

#

Which suggestion? I don't see anything I didn't try.

#

This is the Virtual Network Editor in VMWare

#

viral flicker Jun 11, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

I don't use VMware so I cannot tell you anything specific but neither NAT or Host Only is what you want. Are you connected to the network via ethernet?
The suggestion was to bridge it to the ethernet adapter.

flint rapids Jun 11, 2025, 10:41 AM

#

Yes, I'm connected via ethernet. As you can see in the network setting it is bridged.

viral flicker Jun 11, 2025, 10:42 AM

#

That doesn't mean anything. It can be bridged to a WiFI adapter too. Try to create your own network bridged to the ethernet adapter and select that.

flint rapids Jun 11, 2025, 10:44 AM

#

I don't know what that means.

viral flicker Jun 11, 2025, 10:45 AM

flint rapids

Here click add network and make it bridged to the ethernet adapter.

flint rapids Jun 11, 2025, 10:45 AM

#

New wrinkle - I can access the webapp via the Nabu Casa cloud external link just fine from my desktop - which is why everything is working.

VM has access to the internet, but is not allow interaction on local network.

viral flicker Jun 11, 2025, 10:50 AM

#

Something is hindering the host <-> VM communication.

flint rapids Jun 11, 2025, 10:50 AM

viral flicker Here click add network and make it bridged to the ethernet adapter.

So, when I open the VM Virtual Network Editor, it initially looks like this. The 'Add Network' button is greyed out until I click on the Change Settings button which prompts for admin access.
