If I am not mistaken the tradeoff is losing add-ons but being able to install other services.

So… what is your experience? Are add-ons useful/common for your use case?

    Add ons are docker containers. The main advantage of HA OS is that the add on docker images are configured for you vs you having to edit a few parameters.

    Also, there isn’t really any inherent stability difference between HA OS and docker. If anything, i’d give the slight nod to docker running on a stable Linux flavor, but YMMV. I’ve been running the HA docker via Unraid for years alongside ~30 other docker “add ons” (many have nothing to do with HA) without any stability issues.
