Proxmox and home assistant
A couple of hints to get proxmox and a home assistant VM up and running on a home server.
Installing Proxmox
Tip: Youtube “First 11 Things on Proxmox”.
Graphical installer doesn’t run
If the graphical installer does not come up (after DHCP) try this:
# FIRST START PROXMOX INSTALLATION IN D E B U G M O D E ! ! !
# then in the shell starting before the installer runs, do ...
$ Xorg -configure
# COULD also be under /root/xorg.conf.new - read the command output
$ cp /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# now replace all ocurrences of `amdgpu` with `fbdev` in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# exit the shell
$ <CTRL-D>
Now the installer should just come up.

Enable updates without subscription
Change /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list to this:

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-no-subscription
Install HASS.io
SSH into your proxmox box and use this command:
# (I didn't need sudo, I connected as root)
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kanga-Who/home-assistant/master/hassos_install.sh)"
