Hi,
I used to have HA installed in a Docker on a RPi3B+ (on SSD), I had the Supervisor option from which I was able to make updates etc.
Question … what is this setup called? And will it be supported?
Now I re-installed from scratch using the command taken from here using command:
docker run --init -d --name="home-assistant" -e "TZ=America/New_York" -v /home/pi/homeassistant:/config --net=host homeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant:stable
But now I do not have the Supervisor, and I dont know from where I can restore the backup.
Which version of HA should I install? I would like to use an external SSD, so the image listed here will not work.
Any ideas what should I do? I am really confused on the way forward at this stage.
I know this question is really common but I would like someone to guide me.
Thanks in advance

See the list of “Supported installation methods” here:
We recently announced that we wanted to deprecate the generic Home Assistant installer. We discovered that the installation method was more popular than expected and we put that plan on hold.

Today I want to take a ste…
I believe you are looking for home assistant supervised. There are installation guides for a number of operating systems here:

Please note, guides provided in this section may be outdated/broken and are not supported by Home Assistant. Use these at your own risk.

thanks @tom_l … really useful but there is no info how I can install a supported version of HA on a Pi using SSD. Can you guide me?
Edit: just found this … will go through it and revert
This guide is now deprecated and will no longer be updated or maintained. It is highly recommended to follow the Debian 10 guide HERE to have a supported Supervised install on your Pi.
Continued changes being made to Home Assistant Supervised make the continued use of Raspberry Pi OS at your own risk and it may fail to work at any time. Please do not post for support if you face an issue with being ‘Unsupported’, ‘Unhealthy’ or can not update HA.
