Help to select operating system

cattips · January 21, 2022, 9:20pm

Hello
I use Home Assistant Supervisor on my Raspberry Pi 400 4GB booting from M.2 and running Rasbian OS 64. I just ordered a Mission LX-Connect. I plan to install Roon Core on this OS.
Do I have to go with another OS for my Pi?
If so, which operating system should I choose.
I still want to use the Home Assistant Supervisor version
Is there someone who have a instructions on how to connect these parts, I would be grateful.
Sincerely,
Fredrik Andersson

The only officially supported distribution of Linux for use with Home Assistant Supervised is Debian. Currently that means Debian 11 (Bullseye).

# 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.

If you install Home Assistant Supervised on any other distribution of Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc) it will not be supported by the development team (meaning if you encounter a problem and report it as an Issue, it may be rejected because you aren’t using Debian). The only available support will be unofficial which means from the user-community.
