Hi
I am new to HA.
I was going through installation guide and wondering why it requires Raspberry Lite ?
I installed it on full Raspbian OS and though it is installed when installing UI it spit out few errors about web lite component
I think Raspbian Lite is suffient to run Home Assistant, a server UI is not required. You may however run HA on a full Raspbian node as well.
Personally, I don’t want to play around with multiple package managers like pip3 or npm, so everything that is not natively available for the OS (via apt) goes into a Docker container.
docker run -d --rm -p 8123:8123 -v /etc/homeassistant:/config --name homeassistant homeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant

The guide should say ‘at a minimum’, and is based on doing a headless install. You can use a ‘full’ raspian if you want.
