Debian download for odroid n2+

where can i download a version of debian for the odroid n2+? preferably with desktop

Search google, this has nothing to do with Home Assistant.
If you plan to install HA Supervised afterwards, I’d highly recommend a headless install not a desktop.

So home assistant supports running from debian. So it very much has to do with home assistant. I googled which version I was supposed to use though and figured it out already, and choose an xfce4 desktop. Now I’m just trying to figure out how to Install TeamViewer.

Actually, HA did not have any correlations with Debian. It’s just supported systems. Debian 10 only when you want to run the Supervised version only.

But you can always run HA on any Linux as long you run HA Core or Docker

The fact that home assistant specifically supports debian is, in and of itself, a correlation. That’s why I was looking for the operating system image. If you feel otherwise you can feel free to not participate in this discussion However I don’t see why this information shouldn’t be available on the forum for other people to use or why this wouldn’t be the place to ask the question. Home assistant specifically states debian being supported. This is a forum for home assistant. That states debian is supported. They are related. There is a correlation.

The idea is that you are very much likely to get an answer in the odroid forums than here.

Excel runs on Windows, do you expect to get an answer about where to find a Windows version for your Intel NUC on a Excel forum?

Why do you need a desktop version for running Home Assistant?

Why do you need TeamViewer on your Home Assistant machine?

Umm to remote in, and to remote in, respectively. To then manage it with a gui and do things other than run a home assistant. I’d rather a computer and a home assistant then just a home assistant. I can run kodi or just use chromium to watch Plex on a tv. This thing is a beefcake and I can use it for whatever now. I already installed a mumble server on it.

Burningstone · August 15, 2021, 7:10pm

You can remote in with SSH and for most stuff you have a web interface to configure the stuff via UI anyway.
The Odroid is beefy, but it also has its limits reached fast. Running other things besides Home Assistant is not supported as stated here, you are going to run into troubles running kodi, and other things on the same machine.

Oh. Well idk I thought having two HVAC fans circulating air and the built in fan it comes with would be ok. It’s in the same cabinet as an i7 mini PC I cool down with the fans. Is it not powerful enough for that or is it an interference kinda thing? I thought docker kinda mainly eliminated that sorta thing bc it’s like a virtual machine.

Be advised that whatever else you run on the same machine must not interfere with how Home Assistant uses certain resources. The Supervisor actively checks for incompatibilities and, if discovered, will indicate the instance is ‘unsupported’. If it’s an extreme incompatibility, the instance is tagged as ‘unhealthy’ and Supervisor will then refuse to permit upgrades of Home Assistant and Add-ons until it’s resolved.

For more information, refer to ADR-0014:

github.com

home-assistant/architecture/blob/dca73b25652e903a0ac2fe1099d43a7b138ed05b/adr/0014-home-assistant-supervised.md

# 0014. Installation method: Home Assistant Supervised

Date: 2020-06-03

## Status

Accepted

## Context

Define a supported installation method as per [ADR-0012](https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/adr/0012-define-supported-installation-method.md).

## Decision

This installation method provides the full Home Assistant experience on a regular operating system. This means, all components from the Home Assistant method are used, except for the Home Assistant Operating System. This system will run the Home Assistant Supervisor. The Supervisor is not just an application, it is a full appliance that manages the whole system. It will clean up, repair or reset settings to default if they no longer match expected values.

By not using the Home Assistant Operating System, the user is responsible for making sure that all required components are installed and maintained. Required components and their versions will change over time. Home Assistant Supervised is provided as-is as a foundation for community supported do-it-yourself solutions. We only accept bug reports for issues that have been reproduced on a freshly installed, fully updated Debian with no additional packages.

This method is considered advanced and should only be used if one is an expert in managing a Linux operating system, Docker and networking.

Oh hot damn. Is mumble a problem?

123 · August 15, 2021, 7:24pm

Beats me; you’re likely to find out soon enough.

As far as I know, there’s no published list of incompatible applications. Based on comments in this forum, I know Watchtower is incompatible.

Burningstone · August 15, 2021, 7:26pm

Try it, I don’t know.

xAPPO · August 15, 2021, 7:46pm

Just realised that as well as Debian both that and HA run on a computer thingy and need electricity …so a triple correlation … you should probably buy a lottery ticket this week.

Prodigyplace · August 15, 2021, 7:46pm

Home Assistant supports running on Windows and MacOS too but they are not supported here.

jatgm1 · August 15, 2021, 7:57pm

If it’s related to home assistant it seems that the question would be something to ask on here too. It’s a forum not customer service. Idk y your getting worked up about asking a question. The answer would help other people trying to do the same thing so I don’t understand the downside. I couldn’t find a docker image of mumble server I could install as an addon so this was how I did it if home assistant supported everything I needed that would be cool but I don’t see why I should run so many machines. Also yes “xappo” they do use electricity. This is why I don’t wanna run multiple machines. If I was asking about a good ups system for a machine running home assistant it would be useful to see what people on the forum had to say. Maybe theirs a ups that has a smart feature compatible with the home assistant so it knows when to power down or make backups to prevent data loss

xAPPO · August 15, 2021, 8:00pm

Therein lies the issue. Ask it in a more appropriate forum/context. Filling this forum with non HA specific questions tires everyone and makes this forum overall less responsive

jatgm1 · August 15, 2021, 8:03pm

It also creates an archive of information available that allows people to find answers without having to post a question. Because the answer is already there. If the question I ask is tiring you out you don’t have to answer, and responsiveness would be less necessary if the information is more available due to someone already asking the question. Like me.

jatgm1 · August 15, 2021, 8:03pm

Also, again, it is related to home assistant. So it is home assistant specific. Like I found out buster was the one compatible and now that information is on here.
