"HA Supervised" Add-Ons; HowDoI install add-ons to "HA Container"

Configuration
1

Is it possible to install add-ons designed for HA-Supervised (formerly known as hass.io) to a box running HA as a Docker container (now called HA Container). I believe the add-ons are containers themselves - so it sounds possible but I cannot find any docs on how to do this.
Well, actually I know how to build a container from a remote image, but I don’t know what if any issues there are given that I am not runinng hass.io.

There is no way to add the add-on to HA Container.

But as you said you can still just create another container the usual way and add the integration to HA.

@finity , can you help please. I didnt get very far.

I am running HA core in a Container using docker-compose:
docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  homeassistant:
    container_name: home-assistant
    image: homeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant:stable
    volumes:
      - /home/daz/DOCKER/HASS/config:/config
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/London
    restart: always
    network_mode: host
    devices:
      - /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00:/dev/ttyACM0
    privileged: true

HA runs fine and my smart home is perfect - almost.

I thought I could create an add-on container locally, by running this:

docker run \
        --rm \
        --privileged \
        -v ~/.docker:/root/.docker \
        homeassistant/armv7-builder \
                --all \
                -t addon-ssh   \
                -r https://github.com/hassio-addons \
                -b master

but I get this far and it stops:

[18:51:10] INFO: Setup crosscompiling feature
[18:51:10] WARNING: Can't enable crosscompiling feature
[18:51:10] INFO: Starting docker.
[18:51:10] INFO: Waiting for docker to initialize...
[18:51:13] INFO: Docker was initialized

? what is wrong ?

as I said above, as far as I know, you can’t have the add-ons without (at a minimum) a HA Supervised install.

The supervisor is the coordinator for the whole add-on system.

You can likely create other containers in the usual way that would otherwise be available via the add-ons.

Thanks! I created a separate topic but this may indeed be the solution to what you have suggested. :slight_smile: Let’s see what community will tell :slight_smile:
