Hi everybody,
I installed Home Assistant on my home server via curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-installer/master/hassio_install.sh" | bash -s as described here.
About my version:
arch x86_64
dev false
docker true
hassio false
os_name Linux
python_version 3.7.4
timezone Europe/Berlin
version 0.97.1
virtualenv false
Lovelace
mode yaml
resources 12

I do not have that little tab in my sidebar that allows me to access snapshots and addon-store. This is fine in general, as I configure anything via the /config folder (so if I need a custom component, I’ll install it manually). However, it would be quite nice having the option to just add an URL to the addon-store and having the component right there instead of the way I do it now (configure everything on local machine, test it, if it works: rsync to home server, then restart Home Assistant).
I had previously installed hassOS on a raspberry pi, which did have all the tabs one would expect, but I didn’t like having an entire Home Assistant operating system rather than just (in this case) vanilla debian and Home Assistant on top… also, as my homeserver is not a raspberry pi (and runs many other services), I couldn’t flash the hassOS image to it even if I wanted to.
Is there a way to still get the functions from hass.io / hassOS when running regular Home Assistant in a docker container?
I have already tried manually installing hacs as a custom_component; however, unlike most other custom components I installed before, it would not work. I’d get a notification about an error about hacs upon each reboot without a way to fix it. The log said something about having to run at least version 0.97 for hacs, which I am (version 0.97.1 is currently installed).
I also tried adding discovery: and hassio: to my config. which also didn’t do anything.
Home Assistant works fine for me the way it runs now, but whenever I manually install a custom component I wonder whether or not I could make things easier for myself…
Thanks for your ideas
