Im using the guide here to try to add an addon in a home assistant core installation without supervisor or built-in addon functionality.
This might be a docker question, or it might be a front end question, im not sure yet so apologies if its in the wrong spot.
I have docker up and running as expected
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
c2172a9d4a66 ewelink_smart_home "docker-entrypoint.s…" 8 hours ago Up 8 hours ewelink_smart_home
But attempting to add an MQTT instance gives “connection failed. Please enter the connection information of your MQTT broker”
The information Im entering is the local host IP or hostname and port 3000, no credentials.
The guide isnt clear to me, it implies I should use port 3000 and that it cannot be mapped (I assume changed). A status check gives this:
"NetworkMode": "host",
"PortBindings": {},
"RestartPolicy": {
"Name": "unless-stopped",
--
"PidMode": "",
"Privileged": false,
"PublishAllPorts": false,
"ReadonlyRootfs": false,
"SecurityOpt": null,
--
"AttachStdout": false,
"AttachStderr": false,
"ExposedPorts": {
"3000/tcp": {}
},
although lsof -i tcp:3000 returns nothing.
I think docker is set up and running as expected? So it must be what Im putting in the MQTT instance setup. But there is only the IP address and port to get wrong?
Can anyone point me in the right direction please. I still learning all of this
