Installing Home Assistant Supervised on Debian 12 Bookworm (Debian 11 Bullseye as well)

This guide will help you to install Home Assistant Supervised, on almost any machine type you choose, even netbooks, nettops and old PCs with 32bit CPU.

⚠️ Using Debian 12 and following a strict set of guidelines available HERE will give you a supported installation of Home Assistant Supervised. If you choose at anytime to install additional software to the Debian operating system, your installation will become officially unsupported. Community support via the forums is always available however.

*note: Debian derriatives such as Armbian, OS for Orange PI, etc. is also supported (you may have to edit /etc/os-release and replace with PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"). Ubuntu is HIGHLY NOT RECCOMENDED due to unstable work.

While every effort has been made to ensure this guide complies with ADR-0014, no guarantee can be made it does now, or in the future.

In this guide, you will be using Debian 11 as the operating system. This type of installation is what is called “headless” and after the installation is complete, you will not need to have a keyboard, mouse or monitor attached, although you can if you prefer.

What is Home Assistant Supervised?

Home Assistant is a full UI managed home automation ecosystem that runs Home Assistant Core, the Home Assistant Supervisor and add-ons. It comes pre-installed on Home Assistant OS, but can be installed on any Linux system. It leverages Docker, which is managed by the Home Assistant Supervisor plus the added benefit of dozens of add-ons (think app store) that work natively inside the Home Assistant environment.

If you are new to Home Assistant, you can now proceed to Section 1 if you need assistance with installing Debian 11. If you already have Debian 11 installed and wish to move on to installing Home Assistant, move on to Section 2.
