Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Home Assistant insists that it must run on bare metal hardware and will not work well. This is a purely artificial limitation that home assistant puts on you. You can work around it with a lot of effort, or the limitations might not matter to you, but it is a limit to be aware of. I personally went to OpenHAB instead, but YMMV.
Uhhh, I have always used Docker for Home Assistant with no issues? That being said, I'm no HA power user at all - so maybe you could elaborate about the limits you've encountered?
https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/ Home assistant container - the version for docker - doesn't support add-ons. If you go through a lot of effort you can make it work, but you won't get help. (easiest is to install some linux in the docker and then home assistant supervised on top of that)
There is no reason HAOS couldn't run just fine in a container (qemu not docker), but they intentionally detect that and break it (I tried, I probably could make it work but I don't have that much time)
Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks!
