I have a server running over 50 various docker containers, and only 2 virtual machines. One of those VMs is Home Assistant.
I tried the container originally, but the full OS is just a better experience. It handles all the supervisor stuff a lot better, and there’s tons of addons you can install with one click. I even have VS Code embedded in my HA dashboard so I can modify my config directly from my web browser.
If anyone is looking at trying HA, I’d recommend starting there (https://hass.io https://hass.io).
- nullwarp 4y agoMy HASS VM is my oldest VM by far, it's never let me down. I agree it's way better than the docker approach, especially once you start adding USB things that need to be piped in.
- disqard 4y agoWhat are you running it inside? VMWare, VirtualBox? I had a tough time trying to get my Aeotec Gen5 Zstick to passthrough. I'd love to know what your setup is, since it sounds like you've been successful in connecting USB devices to HA. Thanks in advance!
- nullwarp 4y agoIt's just a bog standard Proxmox server running the VM. Plugged the devices in, added them to the VM from the UI and never had any issues.
