  that was my reasoning as well: with HA OS it is as little trouble for me to maintain - at least that was my line of thinking

  Yeah, just set them up in another container.

  Addons are just software.

  I only run mosquitto right now, but it’s not exactly hard or complicated or time consuming to set up.

    Oh I know it’s just more of a pain, there’s very little overhead from a VM running Linux so it’s well worth doing that IMO.

      There is little performance overhead from running a VM. However there’s a substantial administrative overhead for keeping a virtualization system running just for home assistant.

      If this a hobby to you, sure, you do you. Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted. But it’s way less effort to just run everything you need in a container stack - especially if are you already running containers for other things.

        I’m not sure what you mean? HA OS in a VM doesn’t have any administrative overhead.
