Debian is the official OS for supervised installations, even then there are some very strict requirements for it to stay supported. e.g.:

The operating system is dedicated to running Home Assistant Supervised.
All system dependencies are installed according to the manual.
No additional software, outside of the Home Assistant ecosystem, is installed. (THE MAIN REASON FOR RUNNING SUPERVISED! I mean WTF?)
Docker needs to be correctly configured to use overlayfs2 storage and journald as the logging driver.
NetworkManager is installed and enabled in systemd.

Being unsupported does not mean you can’t get support here in the forum and your home assistant server is very likely to continue to operate as expected. Lots of folk are running supervised on Ubuntu or Raspbian.

# 0014. Installation method: Home Assistant Supervised

Date: 2020-06-03

## Status

Accepted

## Context

Define a supported installation method as per [ADR-0012](https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/adr/0012-define-supported-installation-method.md).

## Decision

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.

By not using the Home Assistant Operating System, the user is responsible for making sure that all required components are installed and maintained. Required components and their versions will change over time. Home Assistant Supervised is provided as-is as a foundation for community supported do-it-yourself solutions. We only accept bug reports for issues that have been reproduced on a freshly installed, fully updated Debian with no additional packages.

This method is considered advanced and should only be used if one is an expert in managing a Linux operating system, Docker and networking.

Frankly these messages should all be warnings. Setting them to Critical and Error level is nothing but a FUD campaign to scare people into using HassOS.

Also I moved your post because you are not running Home Assistant OS.

which version of Home Assistant you are running, as I have the same. This mean that we will not be receiving updates for the supervisor? as the latest build is 239 I think.

No, and no.
https://version.home-assistant.io/stable.json 235 is the newest stable, all newer than that has been limited to beta/dev channels

Ok, thanks for the feedback.
