Which is the right setup for me?

Supervised on Debian is virtually useless because the minute you add a docker container that is not part of the Home Assistant ecosysten the HA installation becomes unsupported and problems start.

The whole idea of Supervised install (using a server for something in addition to HA) went down the toilet when the leaders of this project introduced this thing which could have been written by Apple

# 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.

The only way to run HA incl ability to install addons and something else outside HA on the same hardware is to run HAOS in a virtual machine and have everything else outside this

The Odroid is a fantastic machine to run HA. That is also what I do. But I run only HAOS and everything else I have runs on a NUC and an old Mac Mini. I got tired of being chased by increasingly harch requirements of being exclusive.
