Why is Armbian bookworm is not supported?

Hi,

today, I installed homeassistant supervisor on the standard Debian Image at https://dl.armbian.com/odroidn2/Bookworm_current_minimal

During installation the installer stated:
“Armbian 24.5.3 bookworm is not supported!”

After looking into the installer code, I found out why this message came.

I bypassed the os check, the installation was successful and the system works as expected.

Why is the official armbian image for odroid n2 (blue box) not supported?
Can I help supporting it?
E.g. I could upload a pull request to enable support for it.

Armbian is a derivative OS which is not supported.

The quite extensive restrictions for running a supervised install are listed here: architecture/adr/0014-home-assistant-supervised.md at 8631a749058299f2b309226e1afd508ae5c12cc2 · home-assistant/architecture · GitHub

There is no interest in expanding this to other OSs or derivatives. In fact the devs would prefer this installation method be dropped altogether.

Supervised is the worst possible choice of installation method. Pick a better one. HA OS in a VM or Container if you know Docker.

Thank you for the update.

I tried armbian home assistant image it worked out of the box.
So, you are right. Additionally, it is also possible to access the host operating system.
