I’m already running docker on my MacOS server and would like to add home assistant. Unfortunately the mac version of docker desktop relies on a virtual machine so ‘host’ networking on docker isn’t supported and ports have to be bound. I don’t have extra threads or memory to add another virtual machine for home assistant operating system and the instructions for core refer to apt-get and other debian based tools so doesn’t seem well documented or supported for mac. Is there a core set of ports that can allow for autodiscovery of most supported network devices to get started?
Most (all?) auto-discovery protocols rely on multicast packets, which are only forwarded to the container in “host” networking in docker.
