Debating between Home Assistant OS or Docker for Raspberry Pi 4
  • I run (or rather playing with it for the moment) Debian on a Raspberry pi4 with docker and HA supervisor , but run out of memory as only have 2GB
    It's easy to install and set up, so thinking to go for a Tiny PC anf formatting to Debian or getting a Pi with 8GB.
    I tried HAOS on the pi, but couldn't get past the login console, and was lazy and didn't / couldn't find how to get past that login, and find a DE if there is one

    If anyone can tell me how to do that i would be grateful

    Thin PC or Raspberry?

    Hello

    Let's see if I get this right as new to kbin though regular user (or was) on reddit , so fingers crossed

    Also I see no posts as yet on Home Automation, so if I'm right, here's the first one

    New to the Home Automation scene , I've been playing around with Home Assistant on a RaspberryPi 4b, but it only has 2gb running just Debian and Chromium with Home Assistant, but comes often to a grinding halt running out of memory.

    So either I buy a Pi with 8gb of memory or I go for a ThinkCentre Tinys PC which is about the same price, (refurbished amazon) but also running Windows 10 😱 which I suppose i could delete and run Linux

    Am I right, that this could be a slightly better option than the Pi?

    Any thoughts?
