I'm trying to run home assistant through Oracle VirtualBox to just test out the software and get used to it but I'm unable to get to the part were I can create an account.
I've tried uninstalling everything and redoing it and still the same outcome.
The furthest I've gotten to was "Preparing Home Assistant" and I've waited over 2 hours and still nothin.
Most of the time it just says this and I have to keep restarting until it gets an address
not sure if I need to increase or decrease or change anything here

Please run ha supervisor logs -vf.
rich gulch
Please run `ha supervisor logs -vf`.
currently says this
delicate cape
I assume the host is connected via ethernet? You could try ha supervisor repair.
delicate cape
Follow the logs again afterwards.
rich gulch
should I restart it after doin the command?
delicate cape
You can reboot via ha host reboot but I would have checked logs like this first.
rich gulch
I haven't restarted it yet
delicate cape
If a refresh In the browser looks the same then you can reboot.
rich gulch
I'll restart since it looks the same
delicate cape
If you restart a OS/VM it's a reboot 🙂
Pedantic but very important difference.

It's taking awhile but it just says "Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready..."
delicate cape
Hmm. Can you click/hover the turtle at the bottom of VB and show me what it says?
I feel like you might not have virtualization support for it.

Is VT-d enabled in the UEFI or Hyper-V active or memory integrity?
rich gulch
this thing?
delicate cape
No. It's a setting in your mainboard's UEFI. Also see here for windows settings: https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualbox/s/Tjb8q8QRNV
Right now VB has no proper virtualization support. You could use Hyper-V instead or make it able to.
delicate cape
The disadvantage of Hyper-V is no USB support. I assume this is only a temporary install though, right? Virtualizing on windows shouldn't be the end game.

ofc
I was looking into the homeassistant green but im not sure if that's the way to go
delicate cape
I don't think so: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/6ee130240bdc6a7fed2d5224616544a0

Well what's the goal? Waht's the budget? What's wrong with my tiny suggestion there?
rich gulch
maybe a price around 159 (price of the HA Green) if possible
I'm planning on connecting the entire house to it and running some automations.
I'm currently looking through amazon and just adding stuff to my wish list haha
delicate cape
What is the price for a M920 Tiny on eBay for you?
Or just search N100 there and on amazon and aliexpress.
rich gulch
What is the price for a M920 Tiny on eBay for you?
around 2-300
delicate cape
That's quite the range.
Definitely don't pay more than 150 for it.
Just for HAOS this would be enough for example.
rich gulch
how much slower are those compared to the beelink ones?
is there that much of a difference/will it impact anything?
delicate cape
Which beelink one?

For what I shared compared to the beelink one see here: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/2639vs5206/Intel-i3-6100T-vs-Intel-N95
For the green's CPU it's a bit complicated but see here
I'm only trying to illustrate how good of a deal you can get on eBay for a proper Mini PC.
rich gulch
I see
delicate cape
For example if you add the 7500T in the mix they're basically equal: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/2639vs5206vs2917/Intel-i3-6100T-vs-Intel-N95-vs-Intel-i5-7500T

No. A normal install works fine with 4G even. You need more if you want to virtualize (good idea) or if you run a lot of addons that are memory hungry. Code Server or ESPHome for example
This is my Test VM. I gave it 1/2G. Not a good comparison because it has basically 0 entities but just so you have a frame of reference.
Also the green only has 4G.

guessing it doesn't matter if it's a hdd or ssd?
delicate cape
It really does. SSD only.
