Hi @KruseLuds. Although I understand the eagerness to install HA Supervised on the brand new RPI5 your patience is still put to the test: Supervised is simply not ready yet to be installed on the RPI5. If you really cant wait I advise you to install i.e. HA OS while waiting for Supervised is getting the Go for the RPI5 by the HA devs.
Those “Guides” which are popping-up claiming to succeed installing Supervised on the RPI5 but withholding the fact that it will produce a “Unsupported”/“Unhealthy” Supervised installation at best are making me wonder …
As for your individual HA usage I really would consider to leave RPI’s altogether and jump on to a mini pc like a NUC or something similar.
Thanks @Tamsy to jump onto anything that isn’t already solidly testeed, I agree. Long gone are the days that I used to jump at the latest ‘bleeding edge’ stuff because I always did end up bleeding! I agree 100% all of these claims from others about getting things to work early are indeed all alpha and beta stuff.
If you were to install video and add that to your setup, I understand you would have HA running on an NUC or the like, would you have most of it running on the same hardware or not (except for of course any DVR recording on a NAS…)?
Hi there.
Followed all the steps for the installation but I am getting following error when installing the ha supervised pkg, which is completely unclear to me.
Any ideas?

Make sure you stick 100% with the guide. Note Section 2 paragraph 1.5 and 1.6. After you have installed the OS continue installation using a PC/Mac and connect to the RPI through SSH. Use “sudo” for commands as the unprivileged user you have created at 1.5 (don’t continue as su (root) as you did before)!
Ok, will try that in the third clean installation.
Something to note here which is repeated in the second clean installation. After step 2.1 (installation of network manager systemd-resolved, the internet connection is being ruined. This might be irrelevant though with the issue of home assistant installation.

It is being fixed, after I run apt-get install --reinstall resolvconf --fix-missing

Thanks!
Seems ok now (did’t try with sudo “cmds” since it was succeeded this second time).
Just a note, I faced some requests for dependency installation.

Nice that you got it sorted out. Although having ignored the advise to create a standart non-privileged user and continue installation as that very user.
I asume you didn’t even bother to create a “normal” user for your system but all is running exclusively as “root”.
There is a reason why it is not advised to work as the root user whenever it is not absolutely necessary. Thus if you run into unexpected issues please refrain from posting into this thread.
Obviously you know better and didn’t follow the guide by the book.
Section 2, paragraph 2.1 clearly states the command:
Not at all!
I followed every step as it is described in the guide. Normal user created, “–fix-broken install” was followed etc.
I didn’t follow your advise to proceed with sudo “cmds” because I had already started to follow the initial steps (with sudo -i). If this try was about to fail also, I would follow your advise by starting over all the steps again.
If you wish I can make a clean install again and share with you the results. Not an issue.
You refer to my first installation.
Not the one I followed today.
And as I said. I had already started with sudo -i, before you suggest to go with sudo “cmds”.
I’m confused, I haven’t been able to get my home assistant up and running for a while now. I looked it up and saw that the error:
exec /init: exec format error, is due to incompatibility of the docker version.
I changed the version, nothing happened, I installed the latest one that I read solves the problems but still the same, why is there so much instability?
Ever since I switched to raspberry pi 4, I’ve been frustrated, the pi3 with raspbian was much more stable.
I’m seriously considering whether I will go to raspberry pi 5 in the future, really.
I’ve noticed a cople of things… why are you running 2023.10.3?
I am definately a noob with docker but this is what I get. I would suggest you install everything new from scratch and then only restore from a HA backup - ?
Make sure you have deleted older versions of `homeassistant-supervised.deb which might be still existent in the download directory before using a newer version of the script .
Make sure you stick 100% with the guide. Note Section 2 paragraph 1.5 and 1.6. After you have installed the OS continue installation using a PC/Mac and connect to the RPI through SSH. Use “sudo” for commands as the unprivileged user you have created at 1.5 (don’t continue as su (root) as you did before)!
