I want to leave HAOS live and also run docker for an arr stack sparately.
I got a good deal on a pi5 16gb. I wont get another and NUCs are expensive. I want to put an arr stack, deluge and Jellyfin for local single device viewing. I don’t see HA using more than 6gb of RAM, or close to it, so tere should be room to manage this.
I have a 256gb sd, I will change eventually to ssd, so I think I have the resources.
I just need the know how, could anyone advise on some walkthroughs that could allow me to not knock HA while I build out the other side.


My advice: buy the SSD now and download the latest HA image for Pi5 and save it to the SSD. Save a full backup of your current HA into an accessible network share or to a large enough capacity USB Drive. Shut down your current HA. Power up the Pi5 with the SSD, configure the fresh instance of HA on the PI5 (name, IP Address, etc. to match your HA instance). Restore the backup.
