HACS appeared in the drop list but doesn’t install. Going for trial 2😝
What to do if it doesn’t install as it seems?
Make sure that you’re on the Integrations page inside HACS
Okay…there is no “Inside HACS” to speak of, in my case. This morning, it was there. After a few reboots, it’s gone. No HACS whatsoever (except that it couldn’t be installed via notifications). I shouldn’t have to spend an entire afternoon troubleshooting crap that’s not even in my control.
The UX is f-ing terrible! Totally un-intuitive location, and breaks old documentation which tells you to go to Settings.
Once you get it to work, you paste your URL, press Add, and nothing happens. But it does actually add the repo…

If the option “Custom repositories” is gone missing and google also directed you to this thread, the fix is to Ctrl+F5 the UI again, which then makes the option “Custom repositories” show up.
Also if the “Add” button doesn’t do anything, it actually produced an error message in a place that you can’t see which is something like “repository exists in the store”. You then have to leave this whole thing and go to the normal store list, were now your special custom repository showed up and then it can be installed from there.

I spent half a day looking for this fix. Grazie mille!
This isn’t working for me as of July 2022. Have custom repositories been removed? The FAQ seems to refer to an obsolete UI.

Yes. The procedure is obsolete.
You should first install the HACS repository following this instructions:
Then will find the repository “as an integration”.
And then if you follow the instructions you will add the repository as one of you existing integrations
The process is quite simple and takes 2 minutes.
Cheers!

The comment I was looking for. Thanks for helping me out!
well still a UI mess…
this results in:
This redirect is not supported by your Home Assistant installation. It needs either the Home Assistant Operating System or Home Assistant Supervised installation method. For more information, see the documentation.
I have the problem that I can’t add Custom repositories any more.
Path I go: HACS -> Integrations -> ... -> Custom repositories
This ends up in a window, where the ADD-Button is grey, and can’t be presses. See the screenshot below:

What am I doing wrong?
How can I add new repositories?

This is currently (2023-04-18) correct, but the dialog ADD button is grayed out. I think this has something to do with the base system installation method, but it should be explained somewhere. And give another solution.
As of Nov 2023 I do not see an option within the HACS integration nor the integrations overview page to add a custom repository. All I see is application credentials with the 3 dots. I’m trying to add Scrypted on Home Assistant docker.

Documentation links don’t help when the docs don’t reflect what we’re seeing. I go to integrations, add integration… there is no option for HACS. I have no indication under any menu option to add custom repos nor HACS.

It’s documentation for HACS.
If it does not match, then you do not have HACS installed.
And you are looking in a place not described in that documentation because you think it’s similar.
As it said in this post
the documentation does not match.
Indeed, in the /config/integrations, the 3 dots only gives a “Application credentials”.
Even the “HACS” is not available for download for integration.
Do not know what to do.
Ok, I think I found the way.
.First you have to install a SSH terminal. (add-on)
.Run the HACS download script (wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -)
.Restart HA
.add HACS integration
.Restart HA
Custom repository is available.
