Manually installing addons

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to manually install an addon. The docker image is present in the docker installation on the host, I’d just like to know if there is a way to point hassio to that image and install from there?

I was checking out the other docker containers running for hassio, but since I’m not sure about the meaning of the different environment variables, it’s a hard guess.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve never tried installing them from the docker image. I usually just copy the addon code to the local addons folder and install from there. For custom changes to the addon, I remove the "image" entry from the config.json so that it builds locally rather than pulling down the existing hosted image. However, maybe there’s a way you can use the "image" entry to point to your existing local image you’re trying to install?

I’m sure someone will come along with better advice but maybe this will give you somewhere to look in the meantime.
