Home Assistant maintains their own operating system and provides [[QEMU]] (qcow2) and [[Virtualbox]] (vdi) compatible [https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#install-home-assistant-operating-system images]. NixOS supports virtualization solutions like [[libvirt]] and [[Incus]], both of which wrap QEMU to host a virtual machine.

Home Assistant also provides a [https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#install-home-assistant-container container image] for OCI compatible runtimes.

~~==== Example: ====~~

The following example configuration uses [[podman]] to download and run the <code>home-assistant:stable</code> image. The frontend will be available via HTTP on port <code>tcp/8123</code> in the host network namespace and can be reverse proxied from there.
