How is it limited?

I have been thinking of migrating my setup from a docks container to HAOS on metal.

I have like 1 dozen Intel j5105 boxes, might as well use them.

Limited; as in you might have to find a way to configure some things in a different way than you are used to.

HAOS in a principle is a lightweight immutable distro for running containers; the HA itself is the same container that you would be running if you went the Docker path.

In my case, I have my IoT toys in a separate VLAN; HAOS needed to have access to both, main LAN (for the frontend) and IoT LAN (to talk to the devices). Configuring that meant installing container with SSH, making sure I can connect to the host via that (the featured "Terminal & SSH" addon won't allow that, you need the other, "Advanced SSH & Web Terminal"), and then using nmcli to configure the network.

Thanks for the reply.

I like the concept of paring down and organizing my myraid docker containers into native HAOS "add-ons".

That plus having a better update cycle and less hardware pass through headaches is appealing to me.

I've also been encountering a bug in my docker build pipeline that freezes my ability to remove a container until I restart it. Pretty frustrating.
