I’ve been searching through the community but I was not able to find the right answer to my question and since I’d like to hear from you some suggestions, I decided to post a new topic. If something like this has been already posted and replied, I really apologize…
I’ll keep it short. I installed Home Assistant as a Docker image on Ubuntu 18.04. It was all running fine, until I discovered I cannot install an add-on (I wanted to try Node-RED). I started the troubleshooting and noticed some error messages in the supervisor UI, saying the installation is not clean because it’s not running in privileged mode.
Now, before started to run any script / re-install anything that could make things even worse, I’d like to ask if it would be more convenient to just switch to Home Assistant OS like this and restore the current configuration on it, and most of all, how troublesome that might be.
Secondly, not really familiar with the terminology, and just out of curiosity, how do you tell I’m running the Supervised method? And most of all, what are the differences? If you have an article or something talking about this, I’ll grab the info from there…
supervisor UI, saying the installation is not clean because it’s not running in privileged mode
The first rules out Home Assistant OS (has its own OS) and Home Assistant Core (doesn’t use Docker). The second rules out Home Assistant Container (native Docker) since it has no Supervisor UI.
There’s a blog post on the subject, and ADRs explaining each in more (technical) detail:
Scripted install version of HA OS on your own OS, add-ons, only officially supported on Debian Buster - “just” learn enough Linux and Docker to ensure you stay supported, and remember that OS upgrades may cause the Supervisor to refuse to let you upgrade anything until you fix the thing it complains about
HA OS is the top install type you mentioned. HA Supervised doesn’t run on HA OS in the context of option 4 it runs on a stand alone Linux distribution like and preferably Debian buster for a supported installation.
Does this way (after run script install.sh) install both Home assistant core and Home assistant supervisor or just Home assistant supervisor only ?
Tks
However, be sure you fully read and follow the ADR. If you don’t then you’ll end up with an unsupported, and unhealthy, install that no longer fully works.
