    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.

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

    Gotta admit, it was a bit difficult to get my head around all the different installation types when I was a new user, so simplification is probably well over due

      I jumped through all their hoops for a Supervised Debian 11 install. It was a massive pain in the ass, and they dropped support for 11 back in October. 0/10 would not recommend.

    I’m on supervised install on Ubuntu server. All worked fine for many years, except Supervisor being bitchy about me having Portainer installed for no reason. Last week or so, my machine started acting weird. After reboot I couldn’t access it via local ip, only via external hostname. What keeps happening is after reboot Supervisor creates new network config for my ethernet, that causes this. It uses the network-manager to do this. I have netplan doing the config. Nyone else?

      You didn’t even read the article, did you?


      We have deprecated the following installation methods:

      Home Assistant Core installation method, where you run your system in a Python environment, not to be confused with Container (for example, running your system in Docker).

      Home Assistant’s Supervised installation method, which involves running your own operating system, then installing the Supervisor and other requirements on top of that.

        I skimmed the article. Home Assistant Supervised seemed like it may be branding for the Docker edition, which apparently it is not.

    Tell us you can’t architect software like a first-year without using those words. Proper packaging has been out for 30 years.

    My foray into self-hosted home automation was set to begin, but if they can’t release software like adults then fuc–uh, good luck to them.
