I was trying to go that route with LXC actually and while it seems great what about the ESPHome addon? I’m not even sure if that thing is required to use ESPHome devices or not.

I’m not using any other integration. Isn’t this a resource monster?

I just don’t want to keep running an entire VM with their image. Something more simple that could be used on a LXC / systemd-nspawn container or directly on a base system would be nicer.

Hmm… that’s interesting. I’ll have to explore further. Thanks.

I’ve been doing this. I’m running HA under LXD (VM) and it works.

<span style="color:#323232;">$ lxc info havm
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Name: havm
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Status: RUNNING
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Type: virtual-machine

While it works great and it was very easy to get the VM running I would rather move to something lighter like a container. About the storage I just see it growing everyday and from what I read it should be keeping for 10 days however it keeps growing. Almost 10GB for a web interface and logs from a couple of sensors, wtf?

I would be very happy with HA, really no need to move other stuff as long as things were a bit less opaque than a ready to go VM that runs 32434 daemons and containers inside it.

And how do I go about that?
