There are some notes specific to rpi installs, so give it a read if you run HAOS on that platform.
Raspberry Pi 5 users need a bootloader from at least 2025-02-12, otherwise the display output may freeze early during the boot. Update the bootloader before installing this update, using one of the following methods:
- Run
rpi-eeprom-update -awhile connected directly to the device (using a display and keyboard), prior to installing the OS update. - Use Raspberry Pi Imager with a spare SD card to flash a bootloader update image to it.
- Alternatively, if you have an SSH terminal app installed, you can run
ha os boards raspberrypi firmware updateover SSH right after updating the OS.


HACS works perfectly for me from a HA container in podman. I know that doesn’t help by itself, but maybe you have a wrong config.
Can you tell me how? The HACS docs say you need a supported installation method. And HA itself says the container version does not support apps.
You have to manually install it. Have a look at the HACS page. If I remember right, it is basically:
Ohhh, thank you. That’s going to make things a lot easier for me!
I would be interested in this too. Only reason I’m not running in container was being under the impression hacs wasn’t supported.
