Hello, iam having issues installing sundtek DVB USB pen driver on HaOS on my NUC trough ssh terminal addon.
Is this even possible? installing drivers to use hardware with addons? in my case it's for tvheadend addon.
#Driver Installation on HaOS

Hello, iam having issues installing sundtek DVB USB pen driver on HaOS on my NUC...
the simple answer is: no
the complicated answer is: maybe
haos is "just enough OS to run home assistant"
also the web terminal is not the OS terminal.

Most of the OS is read only, containers are ephemeral and cannot usually interact with the kernel. So yeah might be hard.
slim garnet
realistically... you should run the tuner on a different system
slim garnet
what type of nuc is it?
burnt sparrow
Different system could also be a different VM or CT on the same machine.

An cheap Intel celeron
slim garnet
which model? how much ram?
young fiber
Just a sec
slim garnet
this is as impact says. using a hypervisor and virtualising haos might be a workable option
young fiber
Intel NUC DCCP847DYE Intel Celeron 847E SSD 120GB 4GB RAM
It was the cheapest NUC I could find on ebay 😊
slim garnet
yeah, you dont have the overhead to run virtualised i dont think
you could install a regular distro then run container insttead but you lose some features
burnt sparrow
Oof. Looks like the slowest too: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Celeron+847E+%40+1.10GHz&id=1468

So should I use another os instead?
It was 40€ it's on my dad's house
To use ha supervised I would need to run other OS
slim garnet
you could install debian or something then run home assistant in docker and tvheadend alongside it in docker too.
you loose the ability to run native "addons" and updating is a bit more manually
slim garnet
To use ha supervised I would need to run other OS
dont use supervised
young fiber
Ok
I see to use docker only
I would loose the Google drive addon
Can't remember if new versions of ha allow that
Messing up with Ubuntu is tricky
slim garnet
is that even needed anymore?
for backups the core integration works great now
young fiber
Never tested it
burnt sparrow
It's probably the most lightweight method you can use with your hardware.
Also: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/google_drive/
I prefer debian. Ubuntu is bloated.
slim garnet
yeah in this case due to limited hardware. starting with debian minimal and adding only what you need from there is probably the better option
young fiber
Troubleshooting will be harder
burnt sparrow
I used to run this setup for quite a while. I still do. All that's changed is that it's now a VM rather than bare-metal.
I disagree a lot. HAOS (supervisor, really) is a bit of a blackbox with many moving parts.
young fiber
One click install is so much easier
burnt sparrow
You could also ask the devs on github if they can add the driver to HAOS.
young fiber
The sundtek devs?
slim garnet
no, haos
slim garnet
yeah, you could feature request it but realistically your right its probably unlikely
