HA Green Questions

[AlanEisen]

I have a couple of questions about Home Assistant Green (HAG) that I’m not seeing addressed.

1. What OS is HAG running? I’m currently running in my ASUS NAS, so in a Docker container. I’d like to run in HA OS so that I get HACS and Add-on support. Does HAG run HA OS?

2. Can I import my current configuration from a container to HA OS so that I don’t have to reconfigure everything?

Thanks,
Alan

I believe the answer to both your questions is, yes.

Home Assistant OS

HACS works on all methods. Add-ons however are only possible on HAOS.

For Home Assistant, yes. For other software, no.

Just take a backup and restore it on the new install.

Thanks. You said HACS works on all installations. I didn’t think it worked on a Docker installation.

HACS Will work in general but Add-ons will not work in a Docker installation.

HACS is a custom integration, not an add-on.

Add-ons are other software that run outside of Home Assistant. Integrations are part of HA and either connect HA to software/services, or provide functionality inside HA.
