How to install Home Assistant Supervisor on a R5C 4Gb ?

Moderators: chensy, FATechsupport

Recently I installed Debian10 on a R5C 4G/32G eMMC.
This made it possible to install Docker , Portainer and Home Assistant Container.

It all works OK.
But…

I now realised that Home Assistant Supervisor is not available. And that means I cannot install add-ons .

So now I would lik to go for this setup:

* Install Debian 10 on the R5C
* Install QEMU ( Virtual Box)
* And then … Home Assistant Supervisor

But….
I am afraid that the RAM ( 4Gb ) on my R5C is too limited to go this way.
Therefore I am looking for advise:

Q1: Was anyone able to install QEMU in Linux Debian10 on the R5C ?
Q2: Has anyone been able to run Home Assistant Supervisor on a 4Gb/32Gb eMMC R5C ?
4GB should be absolutely fine for HA.

Did you manage to install Docker? How did you overcome the problem with OverlayFS? Which image did you use and where (MMC, SD, SSD) is it running?
Update.

* Installation of Docker is easy .
* Installation of Portainer is easy.

* Installation of HomeAssistant works also -but- HA SuperVisor is not available for this hardware.
And that limits the use of HA a lot.

* So my initial reason for buying this device: Failed.

* I now installed HomeBridge. A simpler Home Automation software which also can be linked to Apple HomeKit.
