I am new to HA and I see that HA has a great potential, so I want to learn how to use it in my projects.
But I have some doubts about how to install HA.
Mainly, the systems I integrate have KNX, so I want to install KNX integration, but to configure integration, as I see, you must have the add-ons File Manager and to install add-ons, I must have a Supervised version and to have a supervised version on my Raspberry PI 4, I must install Debian 12 and I can only have on my Raspberry PI, HA Supervised, ie, I can not have another docker with for example grafana or node red, and that has me a little confused.
The doubts that I have are:
To install the Add-ons, is it necessary to have Supervised?
I see that the add-ons are great and I would like to use them, but it strikes me that they can not be used without Supervised, why?
My other question is: if I install on my Raspberry PI, Debian and HA Supervised, why can’t I install other dockers, what’s the problem?
No. Addons always need a Supervisor. And HA OS ships with a Supervisor.
You can install Docker containers next to HA on a Container installation. But you’d have to do the configuration yourself. There are topics found here covering the most common containers.
You can install both as Addons.
You can mount as many files as you like in a Container installation. I don’t see where this would not work.
This was already answered. HA Supervisor needs full control over the Container environment.
Incredible, I had not seen that in the add-ons was node red and grafana.
I have installed them and grafa installs fine, but node-red does not start, but that is another matter.
farmio, I thank you very much for your time and your explanations, you have clarified my doubts.
To have the add-ons I will leave on my raspberry PI, debian 12, since it is the only one that has allowed me to install Supervised and with it the addons.
