In this video, I walk you through installing **Home Assistant on Proxmox 9.1** — the latest version as of 2026.
We’ll cover everything from backing up your existing system, creating a bootable USB with Rufus, installing Proxmox, and setting up Home Assistant as a virtual machine.
Why Proxmox? Because it gives you snapshots, flexibility, and the ability to run multiple services like Zigbee2MQTT, Plex, Frigate, and more — all on one machine.
🔧 What you’ll see: – Manual backup and encryption key download – Rufus USB creation for Proxmox ISO – Proxmox 9.1 graphical install walkthrough – Running install scripts for Home Assistant VM – Adjusting RAM and disk space – Fixing repository errors – Restoring Home Assistant from backup
