    This seems reasonable to me?

    If you’re running it that way you still can, they’re just not going to accept bug reports or have end user docs anymore. All the developer docs will still cover it.

    It’s an open source project and they need to focus their energy on known good configs.

      It’s reasonable for an engineering standpoint. Bummer for people who don’t want to run HASSIOS or install HA on an already provisioned system without having to fuck with docker.

            From a fuckery standpoint? Docker is way easier, and it works the same way for everything.

              It’s literally the same thing as running the app from base repo. There is no “fuckery”. The entrypoint of a container is the same as just running the python runtimes for any project. You have zero idea what you’re talking about.

                    Dudebro, I write software and run servers for a living. Admittedly I don’t work with python, but I have developed web applications that run both on bare metal and in docker containers and I’m telling you that the amount of fuckery required to spin up anything on bare metal will 99% of the time be more than what’s needed to spin up the same application in a container. The end result will be more brittle and more likely to conflict with other software on the same machine.

                    Also, sure it’s not hard to install HASS in a pyenv now, because the dev team specifically ensured it. Maybe that requires tradeoffs that they don’t want to make anymore?

                    Seriously quit being a dick to people in niche software communities, it’s pathetic

        Yeah, easiest way to turn me off a project is pushing black box installers. Don’t trust software that tries hiding what its doing.
