My Home Assistant Green seems to be running a container and not HA OS

Installation Home Assistant OS

I bought and fired up my new HA Green. According to the installation documentation it should be running HA OS, but mine seems to be running HA Container, hence I am missing the ability to add apps etc. Why would that be? Can I change it to OS somehow? Why does it not have the OS as per the documentation?

I realized this when I wanted to add sonoff wifi switches and found some instructions how to do it that all referenced add-ons and apps that I were just not able to see in my HA. As I went down the rabbit hole of trying to install HACS etc none of the tips worked for me and I went back to the HA homepage and the installation documentation to double check and it should work out the box “plug and play” with HA OS and have Apps by default.

Someone else had this a couple of days ago. Don’t know if they’ve resolved it.

Thanks - came across the same post after posting. I have logged a request with Nabu Casa as per the suggestion in that thread you refer to
