Hi there, I just installed Proxmox on my home server and like the idea a lot, but there is a noticable learning curve. I used this wonderful website and the provided link for home assistant os.
Usually home assistant is available at homeassistant.local without any configuration, i think its called mdns? But on my setup, homeassistant.local does not work for me, on any device, but the ip does.
So i suspect some settings in the proxmox firewall stops the ha vm mdns service from creating an entry in my router (fritzbox). I could not find any useful information about this though, and AI gave me the usual not quite helpful advice.
I hope you have some tips what i can check. Thanks a lot!
ps: I want to host caddy as a reverse proxy on the server some day. Does it make more sense to host a dns server as well and use caddy to forward to the ip?
So then this isn’t what you set it to during the setup.
Because it’s not a thing.
Proxmox doesn’t automatically edit your router settings to add itself so you can connect, it simply allows all connections from local sources until you can set it up securely. If the mDNS isn’t working, just visit the IP address.
