Though the simplest way is to visit the supervisor / addon page. The slug in in the URL:

https://mydomain.duckdns.org/hassio/addon/15ef4d2f_esphome/info
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                          ||||||||||||||||

Just in case you did not realise, each addon has a different slug.

Hi,

some addon have the same slug for me, like glances, ssh, phpmyadmin, vscode or nodered.
Is it normal situation or a bug in my installation ?

thanks a lot

if that slug is core_<addon_name> no, that is normal.

How is (eg) a0d7b954_appdaemon the same as a0d7b954_esphome?

Does someone know how this addon slug prefix is calculated?
To me it looks like an CRC32 hash.
Maybe from the github repo?

11

It is partially set up in the addon config.yaml, as the docs say Add-On Configuration | Home Assistant Developer Docs

Where the preceding bit comes from, i haven’t discovered.

This describes the slug generation

Thanks for your hint @nickrout.

So for completness its simply the first 8 characters of the SHA1 hash of the repository.

Example:

  • Given Github repo
  • → https://github.com/brenner-tobias/ha-addons.
  • Paste the url into http://www.sha1-online.com/ and you will get:
  • → 9074a9fa42d37d9e5aebe73c2cc8ba027572da23
  • First 8 characters are:
  • → 9074a9fa

I’m only seeing that work some of the time. Any idea what’s the difference? I’m pulling the URL from the link on the add-on info page.

Here’s my add-ons:

You must use different urls:

URL:
https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository
SHA1:
a0d7b954840a8807d9cf9a06fb8d685f67d1c7ab

URL:

SHA1:

Oh, thanks. I didn’t see those repos listed anywhere so followed the “Visit” links on the add-on’s Info page. Did I miss where the repo is listed for a given add-on?
