Recently the HA developers decided no longer to document and support the core
version. Officially now all installations use docker. This makes some network
configurations at least difficult (WIFI vs bridge vs container). For those of
us wanting to run HA as core version this tool might be helpful:
https://github.com/j-pfennig/centauri-hass
It it is limited to debian trixie or bookworm and some debian derivatives.
When a HA needs a newer python than provided by the distro, it uses backports
from:

To install download the release tar from github.com, and follow the instructions
in the README file. Features:
- installation of HA core, version can be selected
- can pre- or post-install extra python packages (see corebot)
- upgrade of HA core to latest version
- automatic installation of build dependencies
- automatic installation of required python backports
- adds a service to run HA at boot time
- ...
Possible problems:
- the corebot version conflict (before 2025.2.0). Ignore error messages!
- debian trixie is not yet released. May need additional bookworm apt src
- ...
