Home Assistant Supervisor installed in a Sysbox container

Directions.md

Prerequisite: You must have Sysbox installed on the host.

1. Build the Dockerfile (follow it's instructions at the top)

2. Run: docker run --rm -it --runtime sysbox-runc -p 8123:8123 --ulimit rtprio=-1:-1 --name ha hasys bash

3. Run this after above has started: docker exec -it ha ./run.sh

Eventually HA should come up. However, there are a lot of serious problems and you won't have full functionality. I had 3 repairs mentioned:

• Unhealthy system - Not privileged
• Unsupported system - CGroup version
• Unsupported system - Network Manager issues

Was able to add and control a wifi bulb then called it a success and stopped there!

Misc notes:

• Installed iputils-ping because ping was required at least during install of supervisor.
• Used version 23.0.6-1 of docker because there's a problem with sysbox and using --network=host in Docker v24 - nestybox/sysbox#712
• BYPASS_OS_CHECK=true because debian:12 isn't yet supported by supervisor
• mount --make-shared / because supervisor was complaining about this at runtime and wouldn't start
• run.sh because some things needed to be run after starting the container so systemd was running
• --ulimit rtprio=-1:-1 because the audio container tries to set a ulimit. This should maybe be set to different values.
