IP on home assistant not recognized

Hi everyone…

I am trying to SSH into my home assistant from a terminal. SSH is running and I can use a console on the web interface.

I am noticing that my home assistant IP address is unrecognizable…when I run ‘ifconfig eth0’, it returns a 172.X.X.X IP address… but my home network is on 192.168.86.X…

any ideas why this might be happening?

172 is docker IP

Check up on your router or run nmap from another PC from command line(Linux)

What you are seeing is the internal, virtual docker IP address. Not the one you should use to access HA from another computer.
