You actually want to do it from your host machine, not the haos machine, since the container you are looking for seems to be the haos itself, so it's your host that is trying to download it, if i understand correctly.
Otherwise why is your haos needing the generic home assistant container? AFAIK it shouldn't download itself to update itself.
Maybe that's the issue? You're trying to download from inside the haos instead of outside? (host)
Ok, is there a different haos I should download to put on my machine? Idk how to use docker and the machine is formatted aside from following the haos on x86 instructions from the website
If you're a beginner, just look into haos virtual machine image, and a guide to go with.. Might be easiest. You can snapshot your progress along the way to ensure copies
Ok, it looks like I’m setting up Debian today and seeing if I can get a virtual machine in the background. I wanted this to be an easy way to dip my toes into self hosting…
Fucking hell I tried installing Debian and it didn’t even see the boot media…
Now to see if home assistant running in the background of my small kubuntu will work…
