# New Proxmox VM with Home Assistant # Support Promox 7 - remove susbcription and add non-susbcription - add zip support # Telegram channel - https://t.me/proxmoxha forked from whiskerz007/proxmox_hassos_install This script will create a new Proxmox VM with the latest version of Home Assistant. To create a new VM, run the following in a SSH session or the console from Proxmox interface ``` bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/patriciocl/proxmox_hassos_install/master/install.sh)" ``` After script completes, click on the new VM (_the script will tell you the ID_), click on the `Hardware` tab for the VM and change the `Memory` and `Processors` settings to what you desire. The `Hard Disk` can be expanded by clicking on it, then click on the `Resize disk` button above (_Note: additional steps must be taken for storage to take effect in the VM after the first boot_). The network MAC address can be changed by selecting `Network Device` and clicking `Edit` above. Once all changes have been made, click `Start` above. ## Root Prompt To get to the root prompt - Open the console after the VM has been started - When the messages slow down press the `Enter` key a couple of times until you see the following ``` Welcome to Home Assistant homeassistant login: ``` - Login using `root`, no password is requested - When you see the `hassio > ` prompt, type `login` - You should now see a `# ` prompt. ## Add a serial port By adding a serial port, you are able to use a different interface to interact with the VM. When you click on the down arrow next to `Console` you will be able to use `xterm.js` which enables you to `Right-Click` and get access to `Copy` and `Paste` functions. If the serial port was already added by the install script, no further actions are required to enable the functionality. - Click on the VM in the list of containers at the left side panel - Click `Hardware` tab located beside the list of containers - Click `Add` located beside `Summary` tab, then click `Serial Port` - `Serial Port` should be set to `0` in the input box, then click `Add` - Start the VM, if it isn't already - At the root prompt type `sed -i 's/$/ console=ttyS0/' /mnt/boot/cmdline.txt` - A `Shutdown` and `Start` is required for the changes to take effect ## Show Current IP Address To get the current IP address assigned to the VM from the Proxmox interface - Click on the VM in the list of containers at the left side panel - Click `Summary` tab located beside the list of containers - Click `More` near `IPs` in the top left section - You can find the assigned IP addresses on the line with the name similar to `enp0s18` To get the current IP address assigned to the VM from the command line - At the root prompt type `nmcli -g ip4.address d sh $(nmcli -g device c)` - The response will be the IP address with subnet mask or nothing **Note:** _If DHCP is configured and nothing is shown, check DHCP server and VM network settings_ ## Configure Network for Static IP Address To set a static IP address, use the following as an example - At the root prompt type `nmcli c mod $(nmcli -g uuid c) ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses "192.168.20.170/24" ipv4.gateway "192.168.20.1" ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4"` - At the root prompt type `nmcli c up $(nmcli -g uuid c)` ## Configure Network for DHCP To remove all static IP addresses and enable DHCP - At the root prompt type `nmcli c mod $(nmcli -g uuid c) ipv4.method auto ipv4.addresses "" ipv4.gateway "" ipv4.dns ""` - At the root prompt type `nmcli c up $(nmcli -g uuid c)` ## Default Interface Name To get the default interface name - At the root prompt type `nmcli -g device c` - The response with be the interface name ## Change Hostname To change the HassOS VM hostname - At the root prompt type `hostnamectl set-hostname your-new-hostname` - You can verify the change by logging out with `exit`, the last line printed will be `your-new-hostname login: ` ## Resize Disk To resize the disk after the first boot - At the root prompt type `df -h /dev/sda8` and note the `Size` - Shutdown the VM - Resize the disk to the desired size - At the root prompt type `sgdisk -e /dev/sda` - At the root prompt type `reboot` - Verify resize was successful by typing `df -h /dev/sda8` at the root prompt
