What do you plan on doing? I’m thinking of installing on Proxmox. This is a supported installation type, right?
Nope.
Debian 9 with a bunch of other stuff installed and running on the host.
Don’t get me wrong, it says I’m running an unsupported version. I’ve just never been blocked from updating due to an “unhealthy state”.

that’s not true either.
I have three USB sticks (a zwave, a zigbee and a zigbee + zwave) and all I need to do is pass them thru as a device in the docker run config for the container.
The main guy that maintains supervisor must be wrong then
Maybe. Because I ran HA in a Docker container way before there were supervised installs and I’ve never had a problem with any USB devices.
Or maybe it was a misunderstanding on your part?
No, I maybe just oversimplified it for you. Here’s the full thread
I purchased a Home Assistant Blue and just waiting for it to arrive. Figured physical hardware from the project is the least likely to arbitrarily become unsupported. In my opinion, it’s where the project will end up eventually based on decisions to eliminate support for various installation methods (e.g. Hubitat). It’s not worth it for me to spend all the time getting an implementation up and running only to then have folks decide they don’t want to “support” it.
You will, it’s just a matter of time.
And I’ve never even had to do that, they’ve just worked on Ubuntu.
Maybe…probably…
But if I do I’ll just delete it and move on with my usual HA Container install and smile a haughty smile. 
Yeah, I think it’s because we are talking about different things - the Supervised Version and the Container Version.
the Supervisor automatically passes in the hardware to HA. I believe that is partly what makes it a “supervised version”.
If you run a container version (not supervised) then the hardware devices need to be passed in in the docker container config.
I was responding to the statement that “docker usually does make an app platform agnostic, but not when you want that app to access ZigBee sticks etc.”.
Which isn’t true.
there is no reason you need a supervised version to use USB devices in HA.
I’ve read it.
as a matter of fact I was pretty well involved in that thread.
If you go up to yesterdays posts, in the middle of all the sooking, I posted a command that will let you set HA to ignore the health check.
FWIW, I don’t see Debian + Supervised becoming unsupported.
From what I’ve read, they want to kill Supervised as well, but they put the decision on hold.
Why kill Supervised?
Did you also read this?
The decision to kill it was put on hold before being revoked. It was a resource issue. This is why only Debian is supported.
I had a similar issue and it turns out that mine was due to my VHD not having enough space. I increased the allowance and the update worked no problem. just adding my experience if it helps anyone.
It’s the one you can’t install because you’re in an “Unhealthy” state. This is lame.
