Yes, forcing the OS on people is a bit much. Rpis are not super reliable due to sdcard wear, so i personally prefer to run it on a X86 home server, so the os is not an option then as I use it for other thigs. Currently I'm using a VM to run the os on that server, which seems excessive, comsumes 20gb as a vdi image. I believe a supervised docker install is an option now, but it's officially classed as unspoppported. Shame it's so convoluted to get running.

20gb is excessive? I run it in Proxmox myself, and give it 100gb. Not because it needs it, but because it _deserves_ it. Of all the silly things I host in my house, it's the most deserving of resources.
I'm not worried about the storage, but (almost) forced to run an OS is a bit much. I just want to run it on the same machine as other services and the VM is to me a clunky way to do that. Still overall like HA though.
