Getting started Libvirt to self host home assistant.

This post documents my learnings from self hosting Home Assistant OS (HA OS) on a VM using libvirt/QEMU/KVM on Debian. A disclaimer that this has been a learning process for me. Do you have any comments or see any mistakes? Please let me know at hello@mail.usrprog.com.

I thoroughly recommend this post, which documents in great detail and very clearly how to setup VM networking with libvirt. I found it a very useful source for this effort.

Hello World

Hi! I am a software engineer who enjoys tinkering with tech at home too. This post is the first of hopefully more to come. My intentions are to informally write about things I find interesting, partly so others can learn and partly for my benefit as no doubt writing about topics will highlight to me my own knowledge gaps.

How did I set this blog up?

Hugo to generate static assets from markdown. It seems very simple, allowing the majority time focused on writing content rather than with any technical considerations.
