Home Assistant on a Hypervisor

Dedicated hardware may be better for you, but I decided to use a Hypervisor for a few reasons:

  • Container and Core installations had too many limitations
  • I already have an Intel NUC with linux running some local services for me
  • I'm just getting started with Home Assistant and it's an easier first step

I decided to use VirtualBox to run the VM start since it's an easy way to test things out. Later on it may be worth moving to something like Proxmox to run my other local services as well.

Note: Currently on Lubuntu 22.04 LTS with Virtualbox 6.1 which is not working. Rumor is that virtualbox 7 may resolve this issue, but LTS 24.04 will not be available until August 15th.
