I'm very much hoping so as it's currently running docker, home assistant and frigate for me. All of which I can reinstall with backups to be fair which is why I've held off transferring all my files.

But is that how it could potentially work? Outside of following a step by step tutorial setting up Home Assistant, and later fumbling my way through Linux to get Frigate running I'm a newbie. Does Hex OS have the potential to be my one stop shop for everything running on one machine? I guess that question is hardware dependant but I'm hoping I should be ok with my current machine: i7 7700k 32GB RAM M.2 256GB Boot Disk 8x 8TB Exos SAS drives And arriving soon: 9300-8I LSI SAS HBA (I saw a deal from a reputable seller for $30/drive, didnt see that they were SAS drives, and promptly had to learn about HBA's 😅) For Configuration: From what I've read either 2no. vdev, each with 4no. drives in raidz2 with 2no. parity drives. or 1no. vdev with 8no. drives in raidz2 with 2no. parity drives. Again - I need to do a lot more reading this is all new to me.

Honestly I'm surprised to see so few replies. I would have thought a lot more people would be asking for HA integration. Hex OS popped up on my radar because of the LTT video. Until then it was a bridge too far to play with. But with some hand holding and user friendly features I'm jumping in. That being said, as a total newbie currently running Home assistant using virtual box on my daily driver windows 10 machine, I was hoping Hex OS could be used as a hypervisor, run windows 10/11 for daily use, with home assistant and Frigate running in separate containers. Previously I had to have a separate SFF Ubuntu machine running frigate which was always clunky and unreliable. Is this realistic or am I misunderstanding how this could work?
