Html5 notifications using Docker on Synology NAS

Configuration
1

Hey Everyone,

I’ve been having a lot of success getting HA setup thanks to the documentation and posts on this forum, but have ran into a stumbling block.

My setup is using a Synology NAS and the homeassistant/home-assistant Docker image. What I would like to do is setup the html5 notifications talked about here https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.html5/ . I have (I think) successfully setup SSL, verified my domain with gcm, added my API keys to configuration.yaml, and disabled password access.

Despite this, the slider to accept notifications has not appeared on the sidebar. There are no log messages indicated any errors either.

Is there some testing I can do to ensure each of the above is configured correctly? Also, will the slider only appear if I access HA from outside my LAN (using the domain name, and not the local IP?) My network modem does not allow hairpinning so this is difficult for me to test at the moment.

The only dependency I haven’t managed to check is pywebpush. Is this built into the Docker image? If not, how do I go installing it? I’m not very experienced with Docker, and don’t even know if this needs to be installed within the container or on my NAS itself.

I have also setup the SMPT notify platform and testing it worked fine.

Thanks!

Html5 works in docker
I got it working for Firefox but never could get chrome working (my issue not HA issue)

homeassistant image seems to include everything from Alexa to Zwave. Only need enable it in config.

Thanks! I finally realized I could just disconnect my smart phone from my home WIFI, and sure enough, the option was there. I haven’t tried setting it up on a PC web browser yet, but the notifications work great on my phone.

Unfortunately they don’t come through unless I’m off my LAN for the time being. This is due to my internet modem not supporting hairpinning. My ISP (Shaw) has authorized a swap for my modem to one that does so this is a temporary issue!
