When I check the supervisor container it says that it is:

So, whenever a supervisor update arrives the system becomes automatically unhealthy now for “unsupported” systems?

I found HA multiple times in the last week or so with all addons suddenly disabled and no hint why I could not update one (update button just flashed red with no indication why). Only then I went to look for issues elsewhere. There could be at least some kind of notification when the system gets flagged as unhealthy when it was previously ok.

I know that I’m running an unsupported installation but the spontaneous nature of supervisor updates are real liability to system stability. Installing them at any time leaves you at risk of breaking peoples systems (see introduction of DNS features) . It is ok if things have breaking changes, occasional bugs, or have additional hoops to jump through in case of unsupported systems, but those “fixing periods” need to be plannable. I don’t want to worry every morning whether things broke overnight. I want to move updates to weekends when I can spend the time.

So, the solution would be quite simple: There should be an option to opt-out of automatic supervisor updates.

I’m locking down this issue. Ubuntu is not supported, if you need help with unsupported systems, you can try the community forum.
