Installing HomeAssistant OS in a Proxmox VM

This is a quick guide that sumarizes the manual deployment setup of Home Assistant OS into a Proxmox VM, all the credits to this post in the proxmox community.

I usually go there every time that I need to go through the setup process but then I also need to remember all the tweaks that I made to it so I wrote this for easy reference.

Home Assistant OS does not offer a .iso image that you can just upload at Proxmox interface and then provision your VM with it. So, to get it installed you’ll have to make it through the terminal.

To easily setup your public keys into freshly created servers, specially when copy and paste is limited like in proxmox web console you can benefit for one of your accounts in a public or private git servers reachable by your server like Forgejo, Github, and Gitlab.

They all have the same API where you can fetch your public keys under the pattern:

https://<git-server>/<username>.keys

Try it in your browser to see the output.
