I setup Home Assistant a few months ago and I can't find how to get back onto my dashboard

[crude escarp]

Anyone able to assist?

[lucid plaza]

does the Copy inside the cards button work for you??

[crude escarp]

I'm not sure what that means

[crude escarp]

Where would I find that button?

Is it a part of Home Assistant?

That has nothing to do with OPs question.

Have you confirmed that HA is still running, can you still ping the server?

This isn't so much a dashboard question, but maybe more #1284966540617449515 ? Not sure.

[crude escarp]

How would I check that?

AI is useful with simple server hosting related things

[crude escarp]

I'm not having trouble hosting a server

I set it up a few months ago and everything worked

I just can't access it now that it's down the line and I haven't been on there for a while

[pine jungle]

Exactly. Can you ping it?

[peak quest]

Do you know the IP address your server is running on?

Like karwosts mentioned, can you ping it? If so, open a web browser and navigate to your server's IP address on port 8123.
For me, it would be http://10.10.10.2:8123

When I go to my chrome search history and use the site link from back in December it won't load and says that my IP took too long to respond.

If you tried homeassistant.local and not the actual IP address, chances are the mDNS isn't working which is common on Windows. You need to figure out the IP address of the device. The easiest way to figure it out is to look in your router like what I posted above in my screenshot. If you tried an actual IP address, then trying pinging it. Press Win+R, type cmd and press Enter. type ping 192.168.1.105 and press Enter (using the IP address.) If you don't get responses, then you need to double check that the IP address is correct (via your router). Also, just to be certain, ensure the device is turned on.

Where are you hosting HA on?

[runic sentinel]

also, @crude escarp can you confirm that:

• you are trying to access your server while connected to the same network
• that your server is actually powered on

[crude escarp]

It's on my PC

[crude escarp]

Yes, that is correct

[marble timber]

Elaborate. VM?

[crude escarp]

I have no idea sorry

Maybe

👀

[runic sentinel]

How did you install it on your pc?

[marble timber]

Then how do you know that it is running?

[crude escarp]

If I'm being honest, I can't remember the process nor did I know what I was doing, I followed a YT tutorial.

[runic sentinel]

Do you have that YouTube tutorial handy

The one used

[crude escarp]

A plugin to show the status of the F1 track during a session worked with my smart lights

[crude escarp]

I'll look at my history

Ok so you’re running virtual box if you followed the guide. Open that and you should be able to see if the vm you made for HA is powered up
