jec6613 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 No, but the Home Assistant minimums assume you're running, "On the Iron," so it's loading up a bunch of drivers - virtualized, its memory needs are more modest. Link to comment

Will specifying 2GB steal too much from IoX and PG3? I have not set up the HA VM yet, but I checked HA running on my PI4, and it's using 1.5G, so I'll probably set the VM to 2G. The eisy only has 8G, and since I don't have any node running, it's currently using only 3.4G. so there should be room to borrow 2G. Ideally, I'd like to give even more memory to HA, since most of my complex automations are run from HA (node red is super powerful compared to if-then programs on IoX) @Michel Kohanim A large portion of the 3.4G memory usage on eisy seems to be from the node server. If I don't have any nodes, is that something I can disable, or does it always have to be running for IoX to work? Edited February 12 by stevesreed Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 @stevesreed, By memory, I am assuming you mean RAM. If you don't want to run any plugins, you can disable PG3: sudo service pg3 stop In /etc/rc.conf, you can then set: POLYGLOT_ENABLE="NO" With kind regards, Michel 1 Link to comment

That kills the node process, but editing rc.conf does not seem to stop it from restating on the next reboot. though the overall memory usage seems to be down now.

I'm stuck on the no package available issue as well. I tried "sudo pkg refresh -f", but I get: "pkg: unknown command: refresh" So I'm stuck. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @stevesreed, Apologies, I forgot that udx service starts/stops this service. With regard to refresh, What's pkg refresh? I have never seen that before and it's not a command for pkg. Do you mean: pkg update With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
stevesreed Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I was trying the suggestion from @ndfan77, to get past the issue without renaming the /usr/local/etc/pkg to get past the no packages available issue when running the script. pkg: No packages available to install matching 'vm-bhyve' have been found in the repositories pkg: No packages available to install matching 'edk2-bhyve' have been found in the repositories pkg: No packages available to install matching 'wget' have been found in the repositories pkg: No packages available to install matching 'qemu-tools' have been found in the repositories Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I am not sure I understand why you wouldn't have the correct pkg repos. vm-bhyve is a very well known package from FreeBSD repo. Have you changed those? If not, are you sure you have access to the internet? With kind regards, Michel Link to comment

I searched my Eisy command history for "pkg refresh" and came up empty. I searched the command history on my separate sandbox FreeBSD vm and found quite a few: pkg update -f Maybe try that? P.S. Glad I'm not the only one with psuedo communication errors when invoking pkg...! Edited February 14 by ndfan77 Link to comment

With kind regards, Michel He's apparently got the "wonky" pkg repository database problem too (that isn't a communication issue). I'd bet a steak dinner that if he does this it straightens out: sudo bash mv /usr/local/etc/pkg /usr/local/etc/pkg.temp pkg search wget mv /usr/local/etc/pkg.temp /usr/local/etc/pkg pkg search wget exit But it'd be interesting to know if "pkg update -f" has a positive effect first.

Here's the contents of my FreeBSD.conf: P.S. It was only my second (follow-on) post that mistakenly referenced "pkg refresh -f" instead of "pkg update -f". I just corrected it.

stevesreed Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Quick update: After using pkg update -f. I ran the script again, modified for 4GB memory and 500G disk space, and it worked perfectly. I restored a current back up from the RPi4 HA setup and it worked perfectly. All integrations, including HACS integrations, and add ons, automations, etc. just worked, no adjustments needed. And HA seems faster than previously on the RPi4. I've now removed the RPi from my network altogether, and have IoX and HA running on eisy for a nice, clean, one box solution. Very cool! 1 Link to comment

I don't believe there is one other than whether "pkg update -f" should be added to the helper script before the "pkg install ...." statement: echo "Refreshing package databases..." pkg update -f echo "Installing necessary packages..." pkg install -y vm-bhyve edk2-bhyve wget qemu-tools Link to comment

carealtor Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @Michel Kohanim What would be the possibility that eisy might be offered with Home Assistant already preinstalled? This would probably motivate me to upgrade from my Polisy. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @carealtor, It's possible but I am not sure how to deal with support as we are (nor do we have resources) to address HA installation/configuration issues. Also, considering the cost of NVMe to be at least $74, it would make the cost of eisy astronomical. But if there's enough demand, we'll definitely consider.
