This is a short tutorial on how to easily install Home Assistant on UNRAID or any other VM host. I recently wanted to experiment with Home Assistant to see how it would fit into my primarily HomeKit-based smart home. Though the process ended up being pretty easy, they have some of the most confusing instructions I have ever seen, as they are not written for the first-time user. If you want to use Home Assistant and you run UNRAID, then this is for you.
Update 2-11-2024: Home Assistant has once again changed its website and files. You can use the instructions below to download a different file.
1. Download the .qcow2 image above and decompress it. (Extract all in Windows)
2. Store the image in the isos share on your server.
3. Make sure under Settings -- VM manager, Enable VMs is enabled.
4. Create a new virtual machine: VMS -- Add VM.
5. Select type Linux and give the VM a name and a description.
6. Select the CPU cores you want to let the VM use and give it some memory.
7. Under Primary vDisk Location, select Manual and then select the qcow2 image.
8. Select your keyboard language under VM Console Keyboard.
9. Select br0 under Network Source.
10. Select virtio under Network model.
11. Select any USB-devices that you want to pass through to Home Assistant, such as Zigbee- or Z-Wave controllers.
12. Deselect Start VM after creation.
13. Select Create.
14. Select the name of your new VM and select the capacity number for your disk. Here, you can expand the disk to whatever your needs are. The default is 32 GB.
