Yeah, for me, that’s pretty sparse. Slightly more info at https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/#alternative-install-on-generic-linux-server , but even that isn’t all that detailed. I don’t recall which issue I ran into first, but both of those pages require more understanding of Docker than I have - this is literally the first time I’ve set it up myself. For someone with more experience with Docker, it may well be plenty.
If I gave those instructions to someone that had never installed docker before I feel like they could very easily get it going. Not sure what else needs to be there, but the documentation is available for anyone to edit.

As someone who has never used docker before I disagree.
So if you go to that page, it links you to the official docker installation method. It’s a few commands you can copy and paste.
Then you go back and do a sudo apt install <list of packages required> and then the install script.
What is difficult about that? You don’t NEED to know how docker works for that.
I agree. Following the instructions step-by-step was pretty simple. In actual fact, I followed the instructions for a generic linux install on the site and never even checked the github page referenced (and because of that missed that there was a ‘switch’ I should have used for installation on my nuc -but it installed and has worked ever since with no problems)

I was talking about the github page. The HA install page does have that info.
I’ll let you know how easy it actually is for a noob in a couple of weeks when my fanless PC arrives.

I have the same setup, but why not just share the config folder from your system folders through Ubuntu’s Samba service instead of trying to get the HASS.io add-on to work?
That’s exactly what I said in the beginning of this thread.
