ESPHome as standalone Docker client - /data directory?

ESPHome

Version 2023.9.0 of ESPHome introduced the change #5374 to now use the /data directory for the .esphome folder.

Upgraded to 2023.9.1 and clients first showed they needed updating and then that information vanished. What do I need to do to get back to a normal situation? Do I need to add a filesystem mounted at /data? Do I keep the /config mount?

The documentation at Getting Started with the ESPHome Command Line — ESPHome does not show any updates or changes. My current docker-compose file:

version: '3.3'
services:
    esphome:
        container_name: ESPHome
        network_mode: host
        environment:
            - TZ=America/Detroit
        volumes:
            - '/volume1/data/esphome:/config'
        restart: unless-stopped
        image: 'esphome/esphome:latest'

That change is only for the addon. You shouldn’t be having problems.

I agree that is what it says. But if the change is only for the addon, I don’t understand why the standalone ESPHome Docker lost the update status information in the web dashboard. ‘Something happened.’ I’ll wait for an ESPHome update and see if this is a one-off or an actual issue.

Installed esphome-2023.9.2 the issue with the web dashboard is gone. Now all clients show UPDATE AVAILABLE.
