Home Assistant PROXMOX Install and Setup (With NUC Alternative)
Published at : 18 Dec 2025
In todays video we are going to be installing and setting up Proxmox (PVE) in order to host a Virtual Machine for our Home Assistant instance. In this demo we are also looking at an Intel NUC alternative. This alternative offers more power than a Pi4 for a similar price, and is a cheaper option than the NUC.
To be more specific we are installing and setting up Proxmox on a HP Elite Desk 800 G1. We are then setting up a VM for Home Assistant and I also show how to migrate existing installations and how to setup USB devices (Conbee II).
