Installing Home Assistant Supervised using Debian 12

@kanga_who
I noticed after completing your extremely well done guide that there is a message in the Supervisor panel that says
“You are running an unsupported installation. Learn More

After following the link, I found that Frenck points out a few extra stipulations for a supported system which include using overlayfs2 storage and journald logging in docker.

I was able to make it a ‘supported’ installation by performing the following in a terminal:

# open/create a file with nano
sudo nano /etc/docker/daemon.json

# insert the following content then save (ctrl + s) and exit (ctrl + x)
{
  "log-driver": "journald",
  "storage-driver": "overlay2"
}

# restart docker
sudo systemctl restart docker

# wait ~10-15 seconds then restart Home Assistant
sudo ha core restart

It would be great if you could add creating the file and restarting docker between the Docker & Home Assistant installation commands; then people will end up with a ‘supported’ configuration.

Have a great weekend!
