Home assistant 16.1 fails on Helper Script

[fercho]

Hi everyone,

Very new to proxmox. Installed it earlier today, did the Post Install Script (following this guide https://www.derekseaman.com/2023/10/home-assistant-proxmox-ve-8-0-quick-start-guide-2.html) and everything seemed to be working great.

However, when I tried to install Home Assistant OS, using the VE Helper Scripts (bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/vm/haos-vm.sh)"), I get the following error:



How can I sort this?

I'm not a very technical person and I'm learning linux so please excuse the noob question!

Thanks in advance,

The script should install pv by itself. If it didn't you probably didn't set up the repos correctly. What does apt update say?
Note that this is a third party script and not all of us are fans of them.

Welcome to the forum,

I'm not a very technical person and I'm learning linux so please excuse the noob question!

First thing to learn is that the community helper scripts - despite the name - does not have anything to do with this forum or the people in it. It's not the right place to ask for help for problems with it. Please ask the people who programmed it, they can better answer was went wrong with their scripts.

I am repeatedly astonished how beginners jump into the problematic areas immediately. Be it PCI-pass-through with GPUs for gaming or disks for TrueNAS or... third-party scripts. It seems that using PVE the-way-it's-meant-to-be is not sufficient for a lot of new users...

OP: apt install pv will do the trick to get rid of that error message. But the pure fact that this is a hurdle for you lets me doubt that this is the right approach for you.

But hey, "learning by doing" is an absolutely valid strategy in a homelab - have fun!
