I don't think that there even is a non easy way to install HA on Proxmox?

Well maybe if you use proxmox and on top of that kubernetes and then home assistant in that? Overcomplicating for sure.

Ok, but surely one would put all that in a virtual Windows instance running Hannah Montana distro running Proxmox, right?

That’s pretty close to my daily driver but it’s only so I can run multiple TempleOS containers on Proxmox

As long as Hanna Montana Linux is installed directly on bare metal, all is good!

You kids are disgusting with your "ready to go" software. A true IT professional would use a self written virtual assembler layer between Hannah Montana and Proxmox to improve security!

The future is now old man!!!

Problem with all of these solutions is replication and standing back up in case everything crashes. I had that issue running fma and lxcs with apps on proxmox, it's a ton of overhead with proxmox.

Ultimately it's just easier to run docker on a VM and back up that one VM, or even easier the docker volumes. If anything crashes I just take that and spin the containers back up

This is a really nice guide, and covers everything from source source to sea, so to speak.
Ideal for someone installing for the first time, thanks for sharing!
