Hi,
i’m new to home assistant and want to use it on my RaspberryPi5 with Ubuntu Server 24.10.
What is the best way to install it?
If i use HA container with docker, is it possible to install addons? Where do i find them?
I also tried to run HA OS as a KVM, but i didn’t get it running.
Is it possible to install HA Supervised and still use other docker containers?
What are my best options here?
I need to use the RaspberryPi5 for other things too, not just for home assistant.
Kind regards
No. But add-ons are just managed containerised applications. You can find the containers most of them are based on over on Dockerhub.
No. No other software can be run. Supervised is a trap. It has the most restrictive requirements and you can only run it on Debian, no derivatives (like Ubuntu).
Why do you want to run ubuntu server?
Better off if new to HA to see if the containers you want to run on server are available to run on HAOS.
But if you are used to docker containers you won’t have any issues I am sure.
