If you use a CPU architecture other than x86_64, i386 or i686 (e.g. ARM), before installation, make sure to specify the type of machine you are using on in environmental variables.

Possible machines to use:

     - raspberrypi
     - raspberrypi2
     - raspberrypi3
     - raspberrypi3-64
     - raspberrypi4
     - raspberrypi4-64
     - raspberrypi5-64
     - yellow
     - green
     - tinker
     - odroid-c2
     - odroid-c4
     - odroid-m1
     - odroid-n2
     - odroid-xu
     - khadas-vim3
     - generic-aarch64 (this one use aarch64 architecture)
     - qemuarm (this one use armhf architecture)
     - qemuarm-64 (this one use aarch64 architecture)

Use qemuarm or qemuarm-64 if your hardware is based on ARM architecture. Make sure your machine is compatible with the architecture.

To add a env. variable:

      # export MACHINE="qemuarm-64"

More about Environment variables

Install the homeassistant-supervisedAUR package.

And guarantee that AppArmor is correctly installed and configured.

Also set the following kernel parameter:

    systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=false

## Configuration

Supervised configuration files are stored at `/usr/share/hassio/`. If no configuration exists, a default configuration will be written at startup. To access just Home Assistant's configuration files go to `/usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/`.

## Usage

To start Home Assistant, start/enable `hassio-apparmor.service` and `hassio-supervisor.service`.

The first start may take up to 20 minutes because the required packages will be downloaded and installed.[1].

By default, the web interface is available at http://localhost:8123.

## Troubleshooting

Before doing anything, check if supervisor is Connected and the installation Healthy. You can do that by accessing the Observable Plugin, which can be accessed at http://localhost:4357.

### Supervisor not connected

1. Check if `hassio-supervisor.service` is started/enabled.
2. Check if your supervisor container is up and running.

      # docker ps | grep hassio_supervisor

### Supervisor connected but installation Unhealth

1. Check if your AppArmor#Display current status is correctly installed and configured.
2. Check if the kernel parameter is correctly configured.
3. Check if you start/enable `hassio-apparmor.service` service.
4. Look at Supervisor logs for additional information:

    # docker logs -f hassio_supervisor

### file /etc/hassio.json does not exist

Make sure you have the `/etc/hassio.json` configuration file.

If not, create it and fill it with sample data.

Example for x86_64

    {
        "supervisor": "ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor",
        "machine": "generic-x86-64",
        "data": "/usr/share/hassio"
    }
