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.

HACS works perfectly for me from a HA container in podman. I know that doesn't help by itself, but maybe you have a wrong config.

You have to manually install it. Have a look at the HACS page. If I remember right, it is basically:

  1. download HACS and make sure, it is in the right folder inside the container
  2. restart HA
  3. add HACS as an integration
