Updated instructions for installing HA-Core 2025.5 in a FreeBSD jail: https://blog.brendans-bits.com/posts/2024/home-assistant-2024.5-jail/

Big thanks go to @jan for making it possible to install a new dependency (python-isal) and to @stefano for hosting brew.bsd.cafe where the homeassistant rc script is now located.

Any comments, suggestions, or corrections - please let me know.

@homeassistant I have updated my instructions for installing HA-Core 2024.4 in a FreeBSD jail: https://blog.brendans-bits.com/posts/2024/home-assistant-2024.4-jail/

Any comments or errors - please let me know.

If you have installed HA Core in a python virtual environment in a Bastille jail, here is an RC script that you can use to manage a homeassistant service

Any feedback or suggestions welcome.

brendan,

@lme @homeassistant Correct, HA on linux is typically made up of a series of docker containers.
On FreeBSD, I have only installed HA Core. So instead of installing 'add-ons' via HA, I install services manually (e.g. MQTT).

If you want to run Home Assistant core (2024.3) in a @BastilleBSD jail, I have posted updated instructions here:

If you're managing HA Core in a FreeBSD jail, I've made some notes about a way to manage the Python virtual environments and upgrade to new releases of HA.

If anyone is thinking of installing Home Assistant Core (updated for 2024.2.1) in a FreeBSD jail, I've written up some instructions here:

@justdude @homeassistant

Believe it or not, my main motivation for trying to get HA Core running in a jail was to make it easier to access my Zigbee controller! It still wasn't 'easy', but it was more convenient than passing through an entire USB controller.

If they are of any help, I wrote my notes here: https://blog.brendans-bits.com/posts/2024/adding-zigbee-to-hass/

🚨 FRIDAY QUIZ TIME 🚨
I have just provisioned a new dedicated server. It's been deployed running 22.04.3. I SSH'ed in as root, given the provided credentials. 🤓
QUESTION: What's the very first command I typed after logging in? 🤔

brendan,

@popey

Is it "Ctrl-l"?

@WaterWaiver

From the stack exchange post: " 10 kΩ or less source resistance is recommended, otherwise the low pass filter effect of the capacitor with the source resistance becomes a major issue, requiring a longer sampling time for conversion and as a result limiting the maximum frequency."

In other words: a higher source impedance (caused by large resistors) is only going to drastically affect the results when you need to take fast repeated measurements (e.g. an AC source)
