Installation of Hassio on Synology NAS

Jeroen_Kok · September 21, 2019, 4:22pm

I try to install the package at a Synology 918+, installation went smooth, but I don’t see the Hass.io tab in the menu on the left. How can get that menu item to appear?

Under Developer Tools - Info is sais “hassio false” and “dev false”.

Have you tried adding

hassio:

To your configuration.yaml?

You are running the broken Docker version from Synology (18.09.0), upgrade or downgrade Docker…

Thanks, I downgraded to Docker 17.05.0-0401, I’ll report back if that helps.

Thanks, that worked.

Does anyone know if it is safe to update to the revised Docker Synology update 18.09.0-0506? They claim to have fixed the environment variable for Docker Compose…

Yes it is safe to upgrade the Docker package now.

Hi Gwystyl,
Did you ever get HACS to work?

I’m sorry for the very late answer, but I use a Synology DS218+ with a virtual machine now. It’s a lot easier to get running and use HACS this way then in the docker environment. Also this is a supported way of running Home Assistant, and much easier to update/upgrade.

Thanks,
I forgot all about this post.
I also changed to a VM and found it much easier to install HACS.
