Home Assistant’s installer gives failed installations clearer recovery steps and a manual way to prepare a problem report. Error screens distinguish a safe retry from cases where a virtual machine may already exist and needs attention outside the installer.
About and error screens offer a diagnostic preview, a copy control and access to local logs. Reports include the installer version, operating system, installation stage and recent safe log records, while leaving out credentials, server details and user paths. Reporting remains manual, with no telemetry enabled.
