There are some notes specific to rpi installs, so give it a read if you run HAOS on that platform.

Raspberry Pi 5 users need a bootloader from at least 2025-02-12, otherwise the display output may freeze early during the boot. Update the bootloader before installing this update, using one of the following methods:

Run rpi-eeprom-update -a while connected directly to the device (using a display and keyboard), prior to installing the OS update.
Use Raspberry Pi Imager with a spare SD card to flash a bootloader update image to it.
Alternatively, if you have an SSH terminal app installed, you can run ha os boards raspberrypi firmware update over SSH right after updating the OS.

If I don't mind managing the extra dockers like the Zigbee coordinator through Portainer, would this all still be a similar experience? Or does hoas have deeper integration that is not similar through some docker manager alone?

It's all in the UI basically. They have an app store of sorts where it's managing the separate containers for you. If you already ate comfortable spinning up containers you don't really gain much.

HAOS handles it a bit differently than standard Docker. Everything is managed within Home Assistant, including configuration (usually).
