Im running HA in a supervised installation on RPi 4 4GB for quite some time now. The original install was on Debian Buster and got upgraded to Bullseye meanwhile.
I noticed My OS Agent version is really old and therefore my question: Is it safe to update it to the newest version and, if yes, how could I do it?

So I figured I may as well crosspost this while it is fresh. I hope it helps someone.
I haven’t seen much on persistent_notification.create and notify.persistent_notification recently
The service `persistent_notification.create’
[3count]
They are not Companion app notifications to IOS or Android
How is it different from The service 'notify.persistent_notification'
`notification_id` cannot be use…
That has info on how to make a notification for os-agent.
To actually update it, from your host console…
You need to
Wget the_os-agent_file_that_matches_your_hardware
Then
dpkg -i that_file_matching_your_hardware
Technically you are unsupported if it is out of date according to the requirements docs…
It’s always safe to re run the supervised installer. Doesnt that fix it? If not might be a bug.

Don’t think the installer does os-agent.
Hm well it lists it as a dependency so I feel like it should?
Package: homeassistant-supervised
Section: base
Version: 1.3.1
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Depends: curl, bash, docker-ce, dbus, network-manager, apparmor, jq, systemd, os-agent, systemd-journal-remote
Maintainer: Matheson Steplock <https://mathesonsteplock.ca/>
Homepage: https://www.home-assistant.io/
Description: Home Assistant Supervised
This installation method provides the full Home Assistant experience on a regular operating system.
This means, all components from the Home Assistant method are used, except for the Home Assistant Operating System.
This system will run the Home Assistant Supervisor. The Supervisor is not just an application, it is a full appliance that manages the whole system.
It will clean up, repair or reset settings to default if they no longer match expected values.
But maybe it won’t update it after install? Either ways seems like an issue since it is a listed dependency

On my amd64 install it has always been safe to simply download the latest deb and install it.

Thank you. I installed it manually and after reboot HA reports V1.4.1.
