2026 Proxmox V9 Setup for Home Assistant (This Changes Everything)
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
💬 Scripts and config links are below. Like, subscribe, and let me know what you’re running on your Proxmox box!
🫖 Bonus: I make a cup of tea while Home Assistant installs. Classic.
