If I am not mistaken the tradeoff is losing add-ons but being able to install other services.

So... what is your experience? Are add-ons useful/common for your use case?

home assistant in docker is definitely not for the feint of heart! the networking requirements are actually quite intense, and really don’t map well to virtual networks like dockers uses

… among other issues

HAOS on a pi; i’ve tried the docker thing time and time again, and the next chance i get in blowing it all away and starting on real hardware again
