Right now, I have HA installed on my Ubuntu box which is my file server. Since HA doesn’t play well with ubuntu anymore, I’m looking for different options.
I can wipe out Ubuntu and install HA on linux box with Debian, re-setup file server.
Install HA on my Windows NVR box
Install HA on my raspberry pi that I use for PiHole and Plane Tracking (flight aware)
I would do this, but that is just me.
Or use docker. You then are basically independent of the host OS.
OpenMediaVault NAS and HA on one machine. Both are Debian based an run in Docker… That is, what I would do, if I want to keep both on the same machine.
Not exactly my experience, I did run HA in Docker on Ubuntu. That marriage got divorced because of issues…
Correct. Running Docker on Ubuntu doesn’t work well anymore. Will say “System unstable” and won’t update until you reset the while server. Annoying bit now.
A “container” installation, i.e. a single container with HA, is not the same as a “supervised” one, i.e. a bunch of containers.
A container installation doesn’t care about the base OS. Only on a supervised one will you get the “unsupported” or “unstable” or whatever messages , because it’s the supervisor telling you that.
But yeah, not actually sure what the OP means by “installed on my Ubuntu box”. I assumed plain python or venv, but I might be wrong and he meant supservised on Ubuntu.
Correct. It’s all a little confusing for me, but on the Ubuntu server, a bunch of containers (HA, Supervisor, mosquitto, epshome, etc).
When I have time, I’ll look at OpenMediaVault and Debian
