Is it possible to install HA Supervised instead of CORE on a TrueNAS server

I have been messing around with HA recently and noticed I do not have the supervised feature since TrueNAS doesn’t support it.

Is there a way to install HA on a TrueNAS server as a Supervised version?
Install docker on TrueNAS and then use the HA docker installation method?
Thanks.

Unfortunately the Home Assistant Docker Container option is also unsupervised (core basically in a Docker container instead of Python virtual environment) and doesn’t include the addons.

If you want a supervised install that you’re not running on a dedicated machine (like an RPI) you generally need to use a VM. I’m not that familiar with TrueNAS though so don’t know if a VM is even possible for it. If someone else knows how to or runs a VM on TrueNAS hopefully they can chime in.

I run Home Assistant container without the addons just fine though, and if you install docker, almost all the supervised addons have equivalent docker images you can install instead on an unsupervised/core setup(although a little more challenging to setup). What addons are you looking for specifically that you want to run? I can try and post some install instructions or alternatives.

From what I can see you can install debian in a vm on truenas. As supervised is only supported on debian, that will be your way forward.
