    It can also be installed using docker containers but that is more difficult to manage as you have to install every component manually.

        I guess that my message wasn’t clear but by “component” I meant a home automation component.

        I have the following containers in my HA installation:

        • Home assistant
        • Node red
        • MQTT
        • Zigbee2mqtt
        • Esphome

        And maybe others that I have forgotten.

        Each had to be installed manually by adding it to my docker compose file, mapping drives, and editing config files.

        Most, if not all, of them (except HA) can be installed from within HA if you’re using HAOS.

      @nogooduser @rah I’m currently running it in docker, and it’s taught me a lot about docker, but it’s a hell of a technical overhead every time you want an addon.

      The documentation very strongly steers you to a whole-os install, and I don’t like that, but I’m tempted. I may well succumb and pick the HA image for my raspberry Pi, start over
