Thanks. I have ordered an Intel NUC6CAYH. My google search leads me to this page for Ubuntu, but the model I have ordered is not listed, though it does list NUC7* models. The article points to “Desktop” and “IoT Core” versions of Ubuntu. I assume I want the later. I’m guessing I install the core version, install docker and go from there. Right?

It sounds like HA is mission-critical to you. What I do (and I posted this in another one of your threads) is possibly something you should consider.
Instead of building a dedicated x86 machine to run Homeassistant, build a Proxmox virtual server and run HomeAssistant in a container. Create containers or virtual machines for your other critical home services. Then add a second Proxmox machine and build a cluster. It takes 10 minutes after your first Proxmox machine is set up to install and add a second machine to the cluster. Then you can migrate containers/vm’s from machine to machine with the click of a mouse in less than a second. I have my pfSense firewall in a VM on my cluster and can migrate it from node to node without losing a single ‘ping’ packet to an internet host.
Raspberry Pi’s are not really intended for mission critical applications.
Does hass.io run well inside an LXC container? I’ve had a hard time trying to run Docker related apps inside an LXC.
If so, what do I have to take into account to make it work?
I should be more clear. I’m not running hass.io in a container. I’m running Ubuntu 18.04 in a container and Homeassistant is installed within that container (in my case, it’s a dev branch, but could just as well be a release branch). In that container I’m also running Mosquitto and rtlamr_mqtt (https://github.com/hpeyerl/rtlamr_processors)
