Ansible role to install Home Assistant OS in Proxmox

Creates a VM in a Proxmox server and configures the latest release of Home Assistant Operating System as its boot disk.

This role was heavily inspired by this bash script. Thank you whiskerz007.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

haos_proxmox_api_password: PLEASE_REDEFINE_ME
haos_proxmox_api_user: admin@pam

These are used for authentication. haos_proxmox_api_password is required and must always be redefined.

haos_proxmox_node: node

The name of the node in which the VM will be installed.

haos_proxmox_storage: local-zfs

The storage location where the VM disks (EFI and HAOS image) will be created. Currently only three storage types are supported: ZFS, LVM Thin and directory.

haos_proxmox_cores: 1
haos_proxmox_description: 'Home Assistant'
haos_proxmox_mac_address: '' # If left empty a new one will be generated
haos_proxmox_memory: 4096
haos_proxmox_name: homeassistant
haos_proxmox_onboot: true
haos_proxmox_protection: true
haos_proxmox_sockets: 1
haos_proxmox_storage: local-lvm
haos_proxmox_storage_interface: sata0

Several VM attributes.

Dependencies

None.

Note: While the role doesn't depend on any other roles, it uses json_query() which runs in your local machine and requires jmespath to be installed locally.
