Meh, I guess I will need to find a new way to install Home Assistant on my Orange Pi.
The instructions I found apparently uses the supervised version even if it's running in docker.
It's been a while since I looked into installing/reinstalling HA but AFAIK using anything else than a Raspberry Pi seems discouraged, which is... discouraging.
I tried on docker but couldn't get the USB Z wave to pass through. Simpler for me to let it live on the pi (until the SD card dies and I forget how any of the HA config works and have to do it all again)
Pi 4 + USB-connected SSD with Home Assistant OS is the best way to run HA for the vast majority of people.
If you want to run other services beside HA and Add-Ons, you should be comfortable picking your own orchestration method and hardware.
That's a good point - I think I have a USB SSD case somewhere
