Hello Julie.

As I said some days ago,I'm trying to install homeassistant. For the moment
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 that I have installed on the Jetson nano,but later I
will use Ubuntu within bhyve on FreeBSD. Unfortunately,a developer,I
suppose,told me that homeassistant is not supported on ubuntu. In Fact I
tried to do that following this tutorial :

https://vikoky.medium.com/jetson-nano-powered-house-29ce73f11de4

but I've got a lot of errors. I've started a thread on reddit,asking for
help,here :

https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/11wglx7/homeassisant_cant_b=
e_installed_on_ubuntu_2004_the/

and he/she told me that ubuntu is not supported. So,which linux
distribution have you used within bhyve ? thanks.

&gt; What&#39;s wrong? How can I start debugging this issue? I use ZFS on t=

Can you try to set just 1 vCPU to your VM? In my case, VM with 1 vCPU <br>
