I refer to section 2.2)
sorry, this is the wrong post! 
I whould refer to âInstalling Home Assistant Supervised on a Raspberry Pi using Debian 12â
Not sure if I should instead create a separate topic, but been using Debian 12 install happily for a while (as well as Portainer which I stop when wanting to update HA and then start again).
Iâve been looking into the built-in media player to cast video to my Google Home Hub, however, when I go to add Network Storage (which I think I need to do to be able to select media) I get the following error:
The operating system does not support network storage
Network storage is not supported on this host
Is this due to the install, or would it be something else?
Make sure cifs-utils and/or nfs-common including their dependencies are installed.
sudo apt install cifs-utils
sudo apt install nfs-common
âŠand reboot the host.
In case you still receive that error message run the Supervised installer again.
Consider alexbelgiumâs Home assistant add-on: Portainer which fully integrates into your HA instance.
Checking using dpkg-query -W packagename, both appear to be installed already.
This is the first time Iâve looked at doing something like this, but have been using Music Assistant for a bit and it connects to my NAS shares without issue. Now just looking for something that will allow video as well.
Iâll look into how to do this and hopefully may resolve it.
Is that just for viewing Portainer info? Whenever I want to update HA I need to stop the Portainer service then restart HA otherwise updates fail - been that way for quite a while now for me at least. I think due to running it and other containers on the same box. I have a message âUnsupported system - Unsupported softwareâ as well as âUnhealthy system - Docker misconfiguredâ. Looking at the docs, pretty sure both are showing due Portainer and other docker containers other than those just for HA running on the box.
Easy:
cd /usr/local/src
sudo rm -f homeassistant-supervised.deb
sudo wget https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/releases/latest/download/homeassistant-supervised.deb
sudo dpkg -i homeassistant-supervised.deb
Then reboot the host.
No. It is a full-blown portainer instance:
Ah okay. TBH I only had a quick glance at the page.
So I would need to install that in HA, then somehow transfer my current non-HA containers into that and remove Portainer and non-HA containers from where they are. That would then get rid of the errors? Though the errors and current process of stopping the service, updating and start again doesnât bother me too much.
Keen to try and sort this adding network storage issue though 
I have to pass this since I am using the add-on for managing containers within HA only. Using the add-on because it doesnât render a HA instance to âUnsupportedâ.
All good. Thanks, I may look into it sometime, and see how much of a pain it might be to move all the other containers I currently have across.

Okay, looks as though I managed to fix it by following directions here:
Needed to update a config file, remove the current supervisor container and it was automatically re-created. Now have the option to add network storage.
Nice 
Thanks for sharing
I am trying to install on a Atom system 64 bit with 4 GB ram. Debian installs fine. When I try to run the commands to access github and docker.com I get a error that says that the dns is temporarily down. When I run nslookup I get results. The debian install is a basic. Has anyone run into this?
Thanks
Hard to tell without showing us the referring log snippets.
If you make an effort to read through this thread you will notice that you are not alone. And you will also find quite a few suggested solutions to the issue you encounter.
You might also want to look HERE (to the end of that guide where it says âAddendum (12 Oct. 2024)â. Maybe this helps.
Thanks Tamsy
I will read throught the thread. The sheer number of posts is daunting tho.

Thanks for the guide. Almost completely smooth sailing, thanks man.
with my state of the art Bookworm as of 2025-10-1 (today)
I had to use this procedure, as the above mentioned file is just a symlink
manne@VM14-deb12-HA:~$ ping google.de
ping: google.de: TemporÀrer Fehler bei der Namensauflösung (temorary fauilt in domain name service)
manne@VM14-deb12-HA:~$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
manne@VM14-deb12-HA:~$ sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service
manne@VM14-deb12-HA:~$
and add a DNS server in the file, then restart the systemd resolve service
hope this helps somebody.

Unfortunately I believe in December 2025, HA is dropping any kind of support for OS installs, so personally I would not be installing a new instance of HA on Debian at this point. Youâre better off with just loading HAOS instead I think at this point.
You can get under the hood with it and do a lot since it is based on Linux. Iâm not overly familiar with it yet, but I have installed a VM instance of it and I havenât found anything with it I couldnât do with my Debian based HA install. I was able to export and import my config with just minor issues.
yep, says so when you hit the web UI the first time.
for me its just an intermittent solution, I need to do some work on my 24/7 hardware and dug up an old hp g5 server, but that thing is so limited due to old age and missing drivers and stuff, its difficult to get KVM to work at all. So in the end, I went through this howto, and its up and running now. For the time being, its good enough.
Hello,
I try to install the home assistant on a debian lite (without desktop) version Trixie and or Bookworm via this manual:
With Bookworm AND Trixie I get the failure:
root@homeassistant:~# dpkg -i homeassistant-supervised.deb
Selecting previously unselected package homeassistant-supervised.
dpkg: regarding homeassistant-supervised.deb containing homeassistant-supervised, pre-dependency problem:
homeassistant-supervised pre-depends on systemd-resolved
systemd-resolved is not installed.
dpkg: error processing archive homeassistant-supervised.deb (--install):
pre-dependency problem - not installing homeassistant-supervised
Errors were encountered while processing:
homeassistant-supervised.deb
root@homeassistant:~#
The SD card is new installed with the Pi Imager. Username pi
Any idea how to proceed?
That error is telling you to install systemd-resolved, Its explained in the first post here in the thread.
Something similar is also explained here:
https://di-marco.net/blog/it/2024-05-25-systemd_network_configuration_with_Debian/
I would consider installing Haos instead. It is what i finally did.
ok understand. Thanks for your note.
Then my idea to install small different parts on the same computer fails. Thx
