Yea I've been running "core" in docker-compose and not the "supervised" or whatever that's called.
It's been pretty flawless tbh.
It's running in docker-compose in a VM in proxmox.
At first, it was mostly because I wanted to avoid their implementation of DNS, which was breaking my split-horizon DNS.
Honestly, once you figure out docker-compose, it's much easier to manage than the supervised add-on thing. Although the learning curve is different.
Just the fact that your add-ons don't need to go down when you upgrade hass makes this much easier.
I could technically run non-hass related containers in that docker, but the other important stuff is already in lxc containers in proxmox.
Not everything works in containers, so having the option to spin a VM is neat.
I'm also using PCI passthrough so my home theater/gaming VM has access to the GPU and I need a VM for that.
Even if they only want to use k8s or dockers for now, having the option to create a VM is really convenient.
