Home Assistant in Proxmox, local dns not working - eviltoast

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 there’s 5 methods in there of installing HA, not to mention having to take apart the scripts to figure out what they do in order to help you troubleshoot this.

    Not sure what you expect of asking a question like this with no useful info about what you actually have in front of you.

      Sorry, i thought i was clear.

      I used the proxmox ve helper script from here: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to install ha os.

      The local domain does not get resolved how it should, i hoped someone here might have hosted ha in proxmox themselves or ran into a similar problem, or could give me a hint what to check

        If you click the HA header, there’s 5 different scripts there, each install HAOS in a different way. As a container in an LXC, as a “baremetal” LXC, as a VM, as a Pimox VM, or as a Podman container.
