Not an answer to the explicit question but I'd install as a VM. If I'm not mistaken the app version is already a container and this you will not be able to addons directly.

Have a look here:

Installing HAOS in a VM on TrueNAS

Install Home Assistant OS Begin in the TrueNAS UI by selecting Datasets from the left-hand menu. Next, choose a location within your datasets where you want to place your VM (Virtual Machine). Click Add Zvol to create a new Zvol at least 32 GiB in size. ▶ Show Create Zvol Next. check the Zvol...

I'm running the same installation with no problems for a year now.

Thanks for the response. I'll give it a go and report back.

I followed the steps outlined and when I start the VM and launch the display, I get via Spice an UEFI Interactive Shell.

As I mentioned above I am new to Truenas/Linux and would be grateful for any pointers/assistance on the next steps to get Homeassistant running. Thanks.

Can you show your VM settings? I assume you correctly created the zvol and attached it as a disk to the VM?

Can you exit and then boot?

This usually happens if we use the incorrect path when writing the HAOS image to our zvol.

Notice in the following command that the path starts with /dev/zvol

Code:

qemu-img convert -O raw haos_ova-12.1.qcow2 /dev/zvol/tank/vm/haos

If you’re still having trouble, please share the exact command you used for this step.

Thanks guys for your responses.

In my installation, I used the following commands for HAOS:

wget https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/12.1/haos_ova-12.1.qcow2.xz​

unxz haos_ova-12.1.qcow2.xz​

qemu-img convert -O raw haos_ova-12.1.qcow2 /mnt/system/VirtualMachine/haos​

And, the HAOS has been created in the correct location.

The details of the VM are:

Details of the Zvol are as follows:

I still get the:

I am doing something stupid, but I just can't see it!

Hopefully, the above details will help to highlight what I am doing wrong.

Thanks.

It looks like you are using the wrong path to your zvol. Notice the path you used starts with /mnt

qemu-img convert -O raw haos_ova-12.1.qcow2 /mnt/system/VirtualMachine/haos

However, the path should start with /dev/zvol - So, the correct command for you should be:

Code:

qemu-img convert -O raw haos_ova-12.1.qcow2 /dev/zvol/system/VirtualMachine/haos

Otherwise, everything else looks correct!

You are a star! I made the change and now I get:

My bad, I didn't read your first response correctly.

Anyways, the next step is to get the Homeassisstant GUI up and running. Could please point me in the right direction for this?

Thanks.

This should work

[kaushik]

This should work

http://192.168.0.146:8123

Thank you, this worked

Can you please let me know where this is documented for future reference?

It says so on your spice output ;)

But the port 8123 is always the same and HA reports its IP.

Yep, precisely what Chuck said.

As far as documentation - it's mentioned in the onboarding section of getting started
