Hi,
Is there a (simple) way for the HomeKit integration to auto-discover when running HA in Docker-for-Mac or must I move to HAOS in a VM (UTM,VirtualBox?) to do this? Does Docker in a Debian VM make any sense at all?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
TLDR;
I manage 2 instances of Homeassistant (in 2 homes).
- The one (my house) is a Docker install on DietPi (DietPi is a lightweight Debian OS).
- The 2nd (mum’s house) is Docker for Mac.
Right now, mums install does everything well (Hue integration, Hive integration and others) but I now understand that Docker-for-Mac is a VM in itself and does not support:
- network: host
- USB passthrough
I want to enable auto-discovery of HomeKit (so mum can issue Siri voice commands) and, as I use a Sonoff stick on my RPi, I can imagine that I will eventually move mum to that as well to reducing her number of hubs and make a stringer single Zigbee network.
Is there a way to this or do I need to move to HAOS in VirtualBox (per official recommendation)?
Is there any sense in moving to Docker in VirtualBox or UTM or is that just dumb?
I (think I) prefer Docker as I’m not worried about the add-on store and I feel more in control of upgrade/downgrades in Docker.
