Anyway, i found supervised too strickt, i couldnât run some other stuff i needed (as the supervisor would uninstall it again)
Still decided to stick to Debian (with gui) and use VMWare workstation (as i was on W10 before)
However I did move some add-onâs to docker on the host ( and who knows, maybe some day i might abandon supervised )
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
Supervisor eno1 e874k675-44d4-31a4-8cf8-3b8cc5f3b7cb ethernet eno1
lo 1e5bf4e3-e5c6-40d4-a193-0ffaa1l4fd2b loopback lo
where
e874k675-44d4-31a4-8cf8-3b8cc5f3b7cb
is the active interface of my RPI4 used by Supervisor.
Now run the following command but use the UUID of your active interface:
sudo nmcli con mod "e874k675-44d4-31a4-8cf8-3b8cc5f3b7cb" ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4"
With the above command you configure the RPI to resolve TLDâs using Googleâs DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Of course you can change this to whatever valid DNS-servers of your choice.
A clean supervised installation of HA on a new installed Debian 12 (bookworm) with LXDE. No other applications were installed. The installation was done accordingly to this guide.
First of all, the host with HA in unreachable.
The second issue: journalctl -f shows that installation is stucked at âGet âhttps://ghcr.io/v2/ââ
Here is the log:

In my opinion, DNS errors are better solved by:
edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf, add DNS addresses (for example: DNS=8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1) and systemctl restart systemd-resolved.
I had to edit it twice - once when installing the necessary packages and twice after installing HA itself.
A much better idea than editing /etc/resolv.conf which gets overwritten.
Right before and at the docker installation you will most likely run into the âTemporary failure in name resolutionâ message, what most call DNS issues.
This is due to the previous apt command having installed, configured and started the network-manager which is now replacing systemd-resolved.
The correct way to solve the issue is Not to poke around the resolve.conf file nor resolvectl nor restart systemd-resolved.
If you did reboot your system first.
Instead run the NetworkManaget tool:
# nmcli d
which will return something like:
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
enp4s0 ethernet connected Supervisor enp4s0
lo loopback connected (externally) lo
docker0 bridge unmanaged --
hassio bridge unmanaged --
veth3ed17d5 ethernet unmanaged --
veth3ff491e ethernet unmanaged --
Just for the record, Iâve been running this installation as instructed for more than 3 years now. No major issues to report other than some recent issues with network connectivity. Iâm running it out of an old laptop. Everything works with Apple Home too. Brilliant.
Cheers!
on dns config: just my 2cents, hopefully it can help someone:
I also experienced the dns troubles.
My set-up: a fresh minimal install of debian 12 (no gui/desktop).
Typically I set a static ip via /etc/network/interfaces.
However as soon I installed the dependencies for HA (especially network-manager and systemd-resolved), I got in trouble with DNS.
Configuring dns via network-manager seemed:
a) not to work for some reason (i.e. apt could not resolve the repos but nslookup worked ok)
b) config on network via 2 locations/tools: dns via network-manager and static ip in /etc/network/interfaces
I also noticed that as long /etc/network/interfaces referenced my eth device, network-manager set the device as unmanaged and could not manage it (although it would create a connection).
Much google-ing and reading of posts (also in this thread) I came to following solution:
mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interface.save (so that network-manager could manage the device)
Did not work for me. Not even disabling ipv6 in grub.
Additionly I uncommented the line precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 in /etc/gai.conf to priortize ipv4 and rebooted.
That brought back the DNS.
After some reading and compiling several solutions here is what worked for me (HA Docker Supervised on Debian 12 - fresh Debian minimal install with no GUI in Virtualbox). I was able to recreate all the steps several times with success:
Donât edit /etc/resolv.conf (I have learned itâs not persistent). Edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf instead (itâs not so persistant either but it survives first reboot at least).
nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
uncomment DNS to DNS=8.8.8.8 (probably whatever DNS server you prefer.
I added my routerâs IP 192.168.2.1 as FallbackDNS (uncomment it as well and add your routerâs IP).
uncomment ad change DNSStubListener=no
save the file
!!! OUTSIDE VIRTUALBOX
run dhclient enp1s0 (your ethernet instance that you get with ip a) - see if this resolves the connection
you may probably need to install realtek-firmware from USB drive mounted in system
Check your ethernet bridged connection
nmcli d
Probably your ethernet is unmanaged (in my case enp0s3). Edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file
I got no errors with these steps and Home Assistant should be onboarding. But if you get an error that HA couldnât start (it happend me twice) just restart Docker containter
sudo docker restart homeassistant
and wait a while.
Hope it works for you as well. Or maybe I was just lucky.
