This is a tutorial about the installation of Homeassistant Supervised on your Raspberry Pi 5 running Raspberry Pi OS 64bit.

It's pretty simple:
want_addons = %true/false%
want_control_over_system = %true/false%
if want_addons == true:
if want_control_over_system == true:
print("Get HA-Supervised")
else:
print("Get HA-OS")
else:
print("Get HA-Core")Or in words: If you want to use add-ons, then the only option is to use HA-OS or HA-Supervised. If you don't want add-ons and only care about integrations, then you can use HA-Core. If you decide to want add-ons, you can now either decide between giving away all of your opportunities and just having wasted 90 bucks on a Pi 5, which isn't used more than 10%, or having nearly every possible control over your system and not being restricted by your OS.

When am I running an unsupported System? For the entire list, take a look here
What could be the problem with having an unsupported system?
hostnamectl)
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-rpi8-rpi-v8
Architecture: arm64Follow the instructions given to you by the comments in each code section.
# execute the following to edit the config.txt
sudo apt install nano
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt# put the next lines **somewhere** in your **config.txt**-File
# Own Edits

# exit nano with saving# execute the following to edit the cmdline.txt

sudo rebootDownload and Install The Banger Tech Utility tool for easier installation of Docker and docker-compose It takes about 20 seconds to start, but it is very easy to use.
cd $HOME && sudo wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BangerTech/The-BangerTECH-Utility/development/bangertech_utility_arm.sh && sudo chmod +x bangertech_utility_arm.sh && sh bangertech_utility_arm.shNow ,with that out of the way, you can navigate with the arrow keys, select or deselect with the space bar and finish by hitting enter. If you are prompted if you want to reboot, hit enter to reboot. In the following fields, you should only pick “Docker+Docker-Compose” and then follow the Steps presented by the Tool. By installing e.g. Portainer or other unsupported software, Homeassistant might not start
It might take up to a minute. Don’t cancel at any time!
You can check if the docker-installation works by using the following command
sudo docker run hello-worldIf you want to run Portainer as well, take a look here
From now on, everything needs to be executed as root and does NOT support sudo anymore. So, change into root-mode:
sudo su -Update every Package on your Device.
apt update && apt upgrade -yNow install all the required Dependencies. You might have to restart depending if of there was a kernel update going on or not.
apt install apparmor jq wget curl udisks2 libglib2.0-bin network-manager dbus systemd-journal-remote cifs-utils lsb-release nfs-common systemd-resolved -y && systemctl restart systemd-resolved.serviceToday, the newest verison is 1.6.0. If you do that in the future, you may want to check for a newer version. To do that, go to this GitHub page, scroll to the newest release and right-click on the asset called os-agent_%Newest Version%linuxaarch64.deb Hit right click while hovering the file. Then click on copy link address and put it in the command below. It should then look like the following example except for the version-number.
wget https://github.com/home-assistant/os-agent/releases/download/1.6.0/os-agent_1.6.0_linux_aarch64.deb
# You can type "ls" to ensure the download was succesfulTo do that, we use dpkg. Using Tab, the filename completes itself after a few characters.
dpkg -i os-agent_%Your above downloaded Version%_linux_aarch64.debYou can test if the installation was successful by running:
sudo apt install libglib2.0-bin && gdbus introspect --system --dest io.hass.os --object-path /io/hass/osThis should NOT return an error. If you get an object introspection with interface etc. OS Agent is working as expected.
Today, the newest version is 1.6.0. By using the following command you automatically download the latest version of Homeassistant. If you still want to check, you can do this on this Github page
wget -O homeassistant-supervised.deb https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/releases/latest/download/homeassistant-supervised.deb
# You can type "ls" to ensure the download was succesful
# The -O is there to overwrite exiting files if there are, which makes troubleshooting easier, by having no need to uninstall it after an error.To install execute the following command.
apt install ./homeassistant-supervised.deb -yDuring the Installation, you get asked “Select machine type”. Choose the "pi5-64bit" version.
Near the end there should be this output.
[info] Install supervisor startup scripts
[info] Install AppArmor scripts
[info] Start Home Assistant Supervised
[info] Installing the ‘ha’ cli
[info] Switching to cgroup v1
[info] Within a few minutes you will be able to reach Home Assistant at:
[info] http://homeassistant.local:8123 or using the IP address of Raspberry Pi
[info] machine: http://<Your Pi’s IP Address>:8123After setup is finished without errors, you can go on.
Restart your entire system with the following command.
rebootIf you get the error "Depends: docker-ce but it is not installable" take a look at here #5
Access your Homeassistant-GUI by entering the following in your browser’s address bar. Make sure to use http and NOT https. You can also use the hostname that you set, like shown in the second example. To find out your Pi's IP you can either look in your router's network tab or use the following command. The standard homeassistant port is 8123.
hostname -Ihttp://<Your Pi's IP-Adress>:8123http://<Your Pi’s hostname>:8123E.g.http://raspberrypi:8123 # Standard hostname is raspberrypi
If something goes wrong with the Installation of Homeassistant Installer, you can try to uninstall the OS-Agent with the following
sudo dpkg -r os-agentAfter that you can dwonload the right version of the os-agent and reinstall it.
dpkg -i os-agent_%Your Version Number%_linux_x86_64.debNow, install Homeassistant with the same command as mentioned above, because it already overwrites everything.
To bypass the container name check, you have to name the portainer-container differently. Remove any old Portainer images like shown below:
sudo docker rmi portainer/portainer-ceNow pull the image again.
sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:latestNow rename the image
sudo docker tag portainer/portainer-ce:latest iamnotportainerNow start a docker-container
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 8000:8000 --name iamnotportainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data iamnotportainerNow check if the container was named the right way
sudo docker ps -aAfter that you can restart HA
If you run into any problems, you might want to try the following commands:
sudo systemctl daemon-reloadsudo systemctl restart dockerIf you get the following message in your docker logs:
level=error msg="add cg to OOM monitor" error="cgroups: memory cgroup not supported on this system"
Fix it by adding "cgroup_memory=1" and "cgroup_enable=memory" in /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt:
sudo nano /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt
Add this to cmdline.txt:
cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memoryAnd now reboot your system:
sudo rebootFor further information, take a look here and here
