Interesting about the backups bit. The functionality's there in the UI to create backups, so kinda weird you can't restore them. Like most docker containers, my HA config sits on a bind mount, and I just back that up nightly.
When you say add-ons, are there specific ones I'm missing out on? I have HACS, and frequently install all manner of integrations and front-end Lovelace add-ons.
"Add-ons" is a separate category of thing, and more substantial than integrations/Lovelace stuff. If you haven't noticed any missing you're probably fine. But some popular ones are DuckDNS and Mosquitto Broker.
Ah, got it. Thanks - this makes a lot of sense now. Looks like it's so the HAOS Supervisor container can manage all the things that, in theory, I already handle myself with external tools.
Cheers!
