I installed it on my home Ubuntu server many years ago. Every now and then I get notification in HA, that my OS is unsupported. And if I want to update HA, add-ons or Supervisor, I can't, because "Docker is misconfigured" - I have Portainer installed. In order.to update, I have to stop Portainer and restart HA Supervisor. HA itself works, but sometimes I don't get it. Especially the Portainer bit.

    Maybe you where on an older Ubuntu LTS. I don't know which Ubuntu they consider "supported".

    I've been running my HA in Docker on Arch Linux for the last 4-5 years and I have never been notified that my OS is unsupported. Could be portainer related.

    For some reason, on Ubuntu, the Supervisor container loses its “privileged” status. I’m not sure if it periodically restarts itself or something , but that also was happening to me.

    I moved my setup to Debian 12, did a fresh Supervised install, and then restored a full backup from my Ubuntu instance and I haven’t had this issue since.
