I am testing “Home Assistant” under Docker / Portainer on a Raspberry pi4.
Question, how can I install “Hass.io Google Drive Backup” or any other addons that are available in Hass.IO?
And why is HASS.IO no longer available under Docker?
An Add-on is an application distributed as a docker container that has been customized to work with Home Assistant OS (the new name for hass.io
) or with Home Assistant Supervised.
If you have chosen to use the Home Assistant Container installation method, Add-ons are not available. If there’s an equivalent standard docker container for a desired application (like Node-Red, Mosquitto, etc) then you can install that. However, some Add-Ons are not available as a “standard” docker container. For example, I don’t believe there’s an equivalent standard docker container for the “Google Drive Backup” Add-on.
I once installed Portainer on my Home Assistant Supervised and see -> 17 containers
But if I don’t click on the containers I only see one
It’s the name of an installation method, not a docker container.
They are hidden. Go to Portainer’s Settings menu and it will show which containers are hidden.
OK, found
Finally: if I want / need addons then I have to install Home Assistant Supervised?
And there is no possibility to install Home Assistant Supervised as container(docker)?
Home assistant supervised is not a docker container, it is a set of docker containers that is managed by the supervisor container.
