Hiya, so I have a spear RaspberryPI 4b, and want to selfhosted HomeassistantOS on it, heard there were some advantages of running the full OS and not just the docker container. However I currently don’t have a casing for it.

So: Is there anything I should know before buying one? Does the rpi get very hot running HomeassistantOS? E.g. Do I need one of these cases with a fan built into it? Or is it OK without?

Appreciate any tips or suggestions! however I will not order anything from Amazon or Ali Express or any of those type of websites. Feel free to recommend via them though as I might find the same case elsewhere, perhaps.

    That’s wrong and missleading.

    You have to install HACS yourself (which isn’t difficult). That’s why they can write that it has no addons. They are stupid for doing this

    Managed restore? With a container you just backup the folder. No fancy weird backup stuff required. Idiots.

    Managed os? No idea what that means. Probably bs as well. Your computer is yours, not theirs.
