There are some notes specific to rpi installs, so give it a read if you run HAOS on that platform.

Raspberry Pi 5 users need a bootloader from at least 2025-02-12, otherwise the display output may freeze early during the boot. Update the bootloader before installing this update, using one of the following methods:

  • Run rpi-eeprom-update -a while connected directly to the device (using a display and keyboard), prior to installing the OS update.
  • Use Raspberry Pi Imager with a spare SD card to flash a bootloader update image to it.
  • Alternatively, if you have an SSH terminal app installed, you can run ha os boards raspberrypi firmware update over SSH right after updating the OS.

You can't access the HACS app store from HA core in docker. And it's bloody annoying because all those integration devs assume HACS and have no regular installation instructions anymore. Even basic themes are almost always HACS installed.

Yes, I'm old and salty about it.

I think I'm confused then. I'm definitely accessing HACS and it's definitely a docker container on Ubuntu (I know, I know).

How do I know that in running?

HACS works perfectly for me from a HA container in podman. I know that doesn't help by itself, but maybe you have a wrong config.

Can you tell me how? The HACS docs say you need a supported installation method. And HA itself says the container version does not support apps.

You have to manually install it. Have a look at the HACS page. If I remember right, it is basically:

  1. download HACS and make sure, it is in the right folder inside the container
  2. restart HA
  3. add HACS as an integration

Ohhh, thank you. That's going to make things a lot easier for me!
