I don't think that there even is a non easy way to install HA on Proxmox?
- Well maybe if you use proxmox and on top of that kubernetes and then home assistant in that? Overcomplicating for sure.
  
  Ok, but surely one would put all that in a virtual Windows instance running Hannah Montana distro running Proxmox, right?
Problem with all of these solutions is replication and standing back up in case everything crashes. I had that issue running fma and lxcs with apps on proxmox, it's a ton of overhead with proxmox.

Ultimately it's just easier to run docker on a VM and back up that one VM, or even easier the docker volumes. If anything crashes I just take that and spin the containers back up
This is a really nice guide, and covers everything from source source to sea, so to speak.
Ideal for someone installing for the first time, thanks for sharing!
