I use an N5105 generic mini pc running proxmox and opnsense. You can get them fairly cheaply from Aliexpress. They’re particularly low power and come with 4-6 gigabit network ports. I have two containers, the second of which hosts my Home Assistant instance. As an added bonus they often don’t have a fan.
For wifi I use Ubiquity wifi 6 Lite APs with the controller running under home assistant.
I want to do the same thing but I've read that it's not a good idea to put opnsense and home assistant on the same machine "you don't want your router restarting when home assistant restarts." Is this not an issue of they are run in proxmox vms?
Hasn’t been an issue for me. HA would only be depending on Opnsense for a DHCP lease so assuming you have reasonable lease times it’ll just pick up where it left off.
Without checking I would imagine you could just set a delay for the HA container to make sure opnsense can start first, if it does become an issue.
