Hi I installed Home Assistant through docker on Raspberry Pi4 since I use this Pi for other purposes.
But I have no idea how to install supervised/supervisor.
How to do it ?
thanks!
You can’t install the Supervisor separately after you install HA Container.
You need to install the HA Supervised version of HA.

Well, you install the Supervised version if the following is true:
This method is considered advanced and should only be used if one is an expert in managing a Linux operating system, Docker and networking.
(from the official docs)
Otherwise, you either stick with Container and Docker images, or you flash the thing with Home Assistant OS and only use add-ons.

Hi @rmenes
This video showed me how to install HA Supervised in a docker container on a Raspberry Pi 4
How to Install Home Assistant Supervised - OFFICIAL WAY
The steps where as follows;
Update your OS with the following two commands:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Install needed Home Assistant Supervised dependencies
sudo apt-get install network-manager apparmor-utils jq -y
Reboot
sudo reboot
Get the official docker script for Raspberry Pi
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com​ -o get-docker.sh
Start the script
sudo sh get-docker.sh
Give Pi user needed permissions
sudo usermod -aG docker pi
Get the HA installer script
sudo curl -Lo installer.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/master/installer.sh
Start the HA installer script change the machine with any of these
sudo bash installer.sh --machine raspberrypi4

And after posting that reply, I’m going to ask the community to help me with this question;
- Can I install the 64 bit version using the code
sudo bash installer.sh --machine raspberrypi4-64
???
("-64" in the end)
Yes, if you have 64 bit OS

If you use the RPi to host other containers, then you should consider to do it the IOTstack way. A lot of the hard work is covered by a menu and scripts, including backups, DropBox uploader, log2ram etc. And also Home Assistant is covered.
And then there is an active Discord channel to support you when you have issues.

Looks great
I see no mention of 32 vs 64 bit OS installation, docker specific 64 bit installation, but the last install code references to raspberry pi 4 64 bit
Could you help me out here; how does that work?
Is the OS installation (the OS that runs on RPi4 that is) defying what version of HA i can run inside the docker container??!
My script is focusing on official Supervised version which required the latest Debian 10 buster and yes it will run on 64bit version Debian for RPI4
Does anyone figured out, how to fix rpi.gpio ?
Is there any way to update RPi.GPIO to 0.7.1a4 on core container ? That seems to fix the problem with gpio on debian (atleast on host).
thanks man. I will reinstall.
Thanks man, I will check it out. I thought supervised was a software component.
I use RPi for Plex Server and Retropie, it is running raspbian, to be honest the only container i used was home assistant. Apparently I made the wrong choice to use docker container, instead of just installing it directly to raspbian directly without docker containers. I will reinstall it.
Thanks all for the feedback. I will reinstall home assistant when I have patience 
Hello!
I trying to install HA Supervisor but I have a small issue 
When I start the installation script, I receive the fallowing message:

It seems that I do not have internet access through the docker .

Hi,
I’m using a raspberry pi 4 with pi os buster
I installed following most of the instruction in the video, How to Install Home Assistant Supervised - OFFICIAL WAY - YouTube , already had dockers installed with a greater version than requested, 20.10.9, updates & upgrades done
ran the commands:
sudo apt-get install network-manager apparmor-utils jq -y
sudo reboot
sudo curl -Lo installer.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/master/installer.sh
sudo bash installer.sh --machine raspberrypi4
At the end of the installation it says to connect:
http://192.168.1.132:8123
And there’s nothing there to connect
Only the observer is listening to ports:
docker ps

What am I missing?
Thanks in advance
First of all, format your post correct.
Second, don’t use (outdated) youtube video’s
Third , pi os is not supported, only debian
Fourth, did you install os-agent ?
Sorry about the format, it’s been a few years since my last post
It’s a raspberry pi4, I think it can it can handle home assistant and more, that’s why I didn’t want to install HA OS.
not yet, haven’t installed the agents
I’m comfortable with linux and networking, dockers not so much.
Any debian will do?
also read somewhere that home assistant and kodi don’t get along, is that true?
Thanks
Debian. Buster is only supported until beginning December (there was 4 months deprecation time), so better install Bullseye.
Without os-agent installed your supervised installation will not work.
