Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get the **Amazon Echo** app working on **Homey Self Hosted** , but it crashes immediately after installation.

The app never starts and the log always shows:

```auto
Error: Could not mount /python : 32
    at file:///app/packages/homey-local/lib/AppLocal.mts:1115:25
    at async AppLocal.executeStart
    at async AppLocal.start

```

### My environment

- Homey Self Hosted (latest version)
- Proxmox VE 9.1.1
- Debian 13
- Docker installation using the official Athom installer
- LXC container

### What I already tried

- Recreated the container
- Tested with both **unprivileged** and **privileged** LXC
- Verified that `/python` exists
- Verified Docker is running correctly
- Followed the existing Proxmox megathread
- The problem is always the same: every Python app crashes immediately.

I noticed that in `AppLocal.mts` Homey executes:

```auto
await HomeyUtilLocal.exec(`/bin/mount -rB ${mountSource} ${mountPath}`);

```

but only reports:

```auto
Could not mount /python : 32

```

without showing the actual error returned by the `mount` command.

### My goal

I don’t actually need every Python app.

**I only need the Amazon Echo app to work** , because I want to integrate my Echo devices with Homey. Has anyone managed to get the Amazon Echo app running on Proxmox 9.x?

If so, could you share:

- your Proxmox version
- your LXC configuration
- whether it is privileged or unprivileged
- any additional settings that made it work

If this is a bug in Homey Self Hosted, I’m happy to test patches or provide additional logs.

Thanks!

Sounds like Homey SHS doesn’t support Python apps. You’ll have to ask Athom about it.

Probably the fastest way is on the `#developers` channel [on the Homey Slack](https://slack.athom.com/).

Like I said before, the quickest way to get an answer is probably on Slack.
