I’m running a number of containers using multiple docker-compose.yaml files, now trying to organize them to run in the same VM, ideally, have them all run in my HAOS.
Apart from portainer, which I somehow find difficult to use, is there a way to get these docker-compose.yaml files up and running in HAOS?
No there is not.
HAOS supports add-ons.
It does not support running other docker containers. Especially Portainer (that addon was deliberately removed).
Maybe you would be better off with a Container install?
Then you can have all the docker containers you want in the same VM.
No add-ons though.
Yes, I have a bunch of add-ons too, in fact I prefer them over docker-compose.yaml due to the ease of installation + integrated backup.
But creating them is really tedious, either that or I need to “beg” someone on github to do it. I suppose the next best option is HAOS + 1 more VM.
This is not supported by the HA team, but you can run docker containers on HAOS. But docker-compose is not installed.
As I say, unsupported, and unlikely to do your system any good.
You can however run your own add-ons. Look in the developer docs. Developing an add-on | Home Assistant Developer Docs
And there are plenty of examples on tha intawebs.
thanks, can share more about running docker containers in HAOS?
I have created add-ons before, but I can’t keep up with the maintenance.
Type in the advanced terminal & ssh addon, docker whatever
Does this drop me into HAOS or Home Assistant container? I typed apk add docker-compose and now docker compose works… i haven’t installed any containers tho
