Same issue here. But I found out, it is because I am running it in docker.
I guess I have to find another hosting solution.
Puh - the answer is : Add-Ons are not supported in container installations according to the setup guide - WTF 
Is there a technical reason for this? My QNAP is running 24/7 anyway with 16GB of Ram - I donāt want to use a Raspberry - so a VM on the QNap would be a way to get AddOns running for me?
EDIT: After reading a bit into HA-OS - AddOns a seperated in Containers themselves, so thatās why there is not container add-on support? As nested containers are quite new - so is nesting containers on the roadmap or not at all?

I share your disappointment. Like you, Iād prefer not to run Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi because of the unreliability of SD card storage, opting instead for a container on my QNAP. It makes me wonder why there was even a release for a container-based distribution of Home Assistant. Considering the confusion over missing add-ons, one can only imagine the countless hours people have wasted trying to figure out the issue.

Hi, I too have the problem of missing addons.
my installation is HassOS, some time ago the addons started disappearing now I canāt find anything in the collection anymore.
If I try to re-enter the repo it tells me that it is already installed, but I donāt see anything.
Those already installed continue to work, but the icon has disappeared.
I tried uninstalling Hacs and restarting, but nothingā¦ I canāt get to the bottom of the problem!
Sam issue here on rpi5 with nvme top hat (M2 drive as primary) with HAOS 12. No add-ons (nor ādodatkiā as in my polish version) available in settings.
How to enter this āsecretā menu ??
I have the same issue. I am using the docker container.
Does anyone have the same issue?
I have same problem in docker container.
Must again install the Home assistant with other way?
HA container (docker) does not have add-ons. Only HA OS and HA Supervised do.

Iām running HA on RPI4 and yesterday after Iāve upgraded to the 2024.4 Iāve not been able to see the Add-Ons and HACS is not loading the UI.
It was just browser cache!
I am having this issue
I just started a VM on my Synology NAS running a supervised HA. (I tried the docker version first only to run into the afore mentioned missing add-ons capability, so now I am running supervised on a VM)
I can install add-ons only by clicking the little āadd-onā button found throughout HA documentation, or by manually navigating to the hassio URL
It is missing in the UI. Never was there from the beginning.
Any tips?
Where are you searching ?
settings ā add-ons
Yes. It is not there.
Just did a fresh Docker install on Raspberry Pi 3 running 64bit Debian Bookworm. Went looking for the Settings / Addons option to install Samba so I could copy my config backup from the HA VM - and Addons is nowhere to be seen ā¦
Thanks Francis. The hope had been to have some other processes running on the Raspberry Pi as well, but seeing as how the Container install doesnāt seem to want to do restores either, it seems Iām heading back to HAOS.

I just encountered this issue running HAOS on a Ras Pi 5. I opened HA in a new browser window and the Add-Ons are back.
Before:
(see next post for after image due to restrictions)
I donāt understand wy add-ons are not available in the menu on docker installations. Is there an other wy to add eufy add-on in home assistant?
I am just one week over to HA and comming from domoticz. One of the reasons is the many integrations and add-ons. It is a disapointment if it does not work!
