ive been running hass on openbsd for a while now, and just did a new install on 6.9 for my boss on the weekend.
i set up a _hass user for it to run as, and gave it /opt/hass: hass$ getent passwd _hass _hass:*:2000:2000:Home Assistant:/opt/hass:/sbin/nologin hass$ getent group 2000 _hass:*:2000 hass$ ls -ld /opt/hass drwxr-xr-x 8 _hass _hass 512 May 8 22:35 /opt/hass i installed mosquitto, python3.8, py3-virtualenv, py3-pip, py3-cryptography, py3-Pillow, and py3-zeroconf from ports. then as the _hass users i set up a venv in /opt/hass with virtualenv --system-site-packages /opt/hass, did the . /opt/hass/bin/activate thing, then ran pip install homeassistant. that got me far enough stuff to be able to start home assistant. you're on your own after this. good luck. dlg On Sat, May 08, 2021 at 06:53:54PM +0200, pas...@pascallen.nl wrote: > Dear all, > > What would be the best way to install HASS on Openbsd? > Containers are a nogo? > > Run it in virtual env from python? > > Any Howto on the subject with Openbsd? > > > Currently I got it running as from the website with the "core" version. > But a startup script which runs with a non-root user is where I get > stuck. > > > > > -- > Met vriendelijke groet, > > Pascal Huisman > > > Fundamentally, there may be no basis for anything. >
