• Home Assistant deprecates the "core" and "supervised" installation mode

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Fri May 23 06:40:07 2025
    Our recent article on Home Assistant
    observed that the project emphasizes installations using its own Linux distribution or within containers. The project has now made that emphasis rather stronger with this
    announcement of the deprecation of the "core" and "supervised"
    installation modes, which allowed Home Assistant to be installed as an
    ordinary application on a Linux system.

    These are advanced installation methods, with only a small
    percentage of the community opting to use them. If you are using
    these methods, you can continue to do so (you can even continue to
    update your system), but in six months time, you will no longer be
    supported, which I'll explain the impacts of in the next
    section. References to these installation methods will be removed
    from our documentation after our next release (2025.6).

    Support for 32-bit Arm and x86 architectures has also been deprecated.
