Okay, so I’m looking to move from Domoticz to HA, and I see there are 4 methods for the installation. Since I am new to the HA-game, I would like to go with supervised since that gives me a feeling that it will be easier to do. There are obviously 2 versions with the supervisor. The full-on HA opera…

if you go with HassOs, you have an operating system which will be kept up to date and secure via new versions and you don’t need to worry about libraries and packages. if you go with supervised method, underlying OS is fully your responsibility, i took this risk but i don’t advice if you’re not an …

Okay, but am I correct that it is not possible to run a VPS-server and a couple of cronjobs on HassOS? I would really dislike running an additional pi just for those things.

i heard that it even doesn’t have a pkg manager to install additional packages, but that is the idea right? if you can install something, it means you can screw it :slight_smile: check post below 2 year old but still good. [image] HomeAssistant for newcomers: What it is, what is ha…

[image] Hobbybob: am I correct yes, you are correct. It sounds like you have at least some understanding of the Linux OS so use the HA Supervised version. If it fails to meet your needs you can always do a snapshot of your HA install and transfer it to a HA OS install later.

[image] Hobbybob: The only thing holding me back from committing to this choise, is that the supervised-installation is listed under “experienced users”, which I am clearly not. I currently use Debian Supervised install…(for the same reason you want to, few other random things running on it) …

[image] Hobbybob: for a VPN-server so I can access my home-network while I’m not home There are add-ons for HA that are VPN servers e.g. Wireguard . [image] Hobbybob: it also has 3 cron-jobs where it requests a specific URL on certain times of the day What exactly are you doing with th…

The Wireguard-addon looks great! I am used to OpenVPN running on Raspbian, but I don’t think it will be more difficult. I am requesting specific URLs on specific times of the day. They automate certain things on websites that don’t allow timed actions, but do have API’s. The URL’s are static, they …

[image] Burningstone: I’d advise against Supervised on Debian, unless you really need it. Why? I’ve been running it as a test alongside my production HA Container running on Debian 9 for months and it has never been an issue.

[image] finity: Why? Because why make your life difficult if you don’t need to? I explicitly said “unless you really need it”, so if you don’t need your machine for anything else, why not make your life easy and run Home Assistant OS? [image] finity: I’ve been running it as a test I w…
