I have not yet decided what to do about my HomeAssistant installation.
I dont know if there is a viable alternative (for my needs), or if I will continue to keep my manual "Core" installation running.
(The remaining HA options are unattractive to me.)
@neil I've been worried about 'shenanigans' for a while now from HA; I have been running Core as a Docker container for several years.
My stack is set up such that should the worst happen, I could (in theory) unplug HA and insert a replacement.
Things like ESPHome, MQTT, NodeRed, Zigbee all get their own containers and are linked up as needed.
This is far from the simplest/easiest method, but hopefully the most modular if ever required.
I wonder does the 'Full' OS require Cloud access?

@neil I've just ditched my docker image of HA and gone for OS installed on a RPi5. It seems to be the way they are going with it
I could, I guess, finally learn how to use podman and docker properly, to use the HomeAssistant docker image, but I am not keen.
I could also see how readily I could obtain ssh access, and a root OS account, for the HA "full" OS. But is that prone to breaking? Tricky.
@neil ssh is trivial, fwiw. Not sure about root though
@neil oh by the way HA-in-Docker is also limited in the same way Core and Supervised were (ie no add-ons) so they’re probably going to kill that off too.
