Why is Home Assistant an operating system and not an application installable through distro packages?
  • @nogooduser Oh yes, I agree. Docker documentation is so random. Once I discovered that later versions of compose could inline the buildfile, I realised that was clearly the way to go. But you have to hunt through the docs to find it.

  • @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
