Best Platform to Install HAOS

Installation
1

Hello all,

I have a number of options to install HAOS. I can install it as a vm on VMware ESXi 8.0. I can install it on a Raspberry Pi 4, 2 or 4 gig, both as HAOS or under Raspberry Pi OS. Where would you focus your attention to? I would like to have access to the Add-On store.

Thanks,
Steve

There are as many answers as there are users on the forum. The issue with VMware installs is whether the hardware it is on is used for other things.

I am quiet happy with my Pi 4 gig and external SSD, but the NUC brigade will swear by their platform of choice too.

Whatever you do, use HAOS, not supervised or core, unless you are a real propeller head that likes to fiddle. :slight_smile:

I echo @zoogara’s comments. I am also a happy Pi user but I don’t process video. If you intend to do use frigate (process video), you’ll want something more powerful.
