My Docker Setup

Configuration
1

I tried out the docker build a couple months ago and have not looked back. At all.
Everything is done set up, a tweak here and there and it’s done. The config stuff is stored in another location, if I screw the system up, just delete the image and start over in a minute.
I currently run Home Assistant, AppDaemon, HADashboard, MQTT, Node-Red, InfluxDB, Grafana and a couple dozen more different apps on an old Dell 1950 blade. I’m planning on breaking them all down to a bunch of RPIs over the summer. Using the docker setup, I should be able to just transfer the data folders over, fire up the images and keep it moving.

These are additional apps I use to manage things and it’s working out marvelously:
Portainer - web based interface to start/stop/restart get a shell and view log and errors etc.
Watchtower sits and watches for updates to the docker images and automatically updates them. I never have to update HA manually anymore.

To keep track of all this stuff and access the pages I use Organizr - It’s a Cool front end, makes all your junk accessible from one page.

Thanks for sharing your insights.

Very interesting! I’m intrigued by the the concept behind docker but not really confident enough yet to dip my toes into it.
Do you have separate docker container for each application?

4

You can take a look at hass.io which is a ready-made docker installation with HA and a bunch of other things.

My understanding of docker is that it creates an independent system environment (container) for each app. (please correct me if I am wrong people)

Here’s a some screens of the Portainer home I have setup: (via Organizr - icons on left take you to respective pages)

I have been looking around a bit and a problem I have noticed is that it can be hard to find arm containers for all applications you want. Something to consider when moving over to a raspberry pi.

7

look here

8

Did you move things over from the Dell 1950? Why did you want to break it down to individual RPIs?

Do you use docker compose? Is your config file shared anywhere?

9

sorry for the delayed reply.
I never got around to moving the stuff over to rpi at least not yet. It is a cost and noise pollution move.

did not use docker compose. basically pulled all the dockers info from here

10

Can you post your docker-compose file?

I’ve just got HA running in Docker, but have zero experience of Docker. How do I run hass commands in a Docker environment (e.g. hass --script check_config to check my HA config?)

I agree i tried to bash into the container and couldnt accomplish.
Also if anyone knows how to get working w/ the reverse proxy/letsencrypt that’d be grand as well.

Portainer makes getting shell in docker container easy

Generally shell command is something like
sudo docker attach -it containername /bin/bash

16

I’m using portainer to manage all my docker containers, it’s been great. What’s the best way to backup all your container config so you can get them up an running if something happens to your host?

17

just started doing backups of my server last night after months of looking into solutions and putting it off.

rsync is the winner

I looked into bacula and it is super complex and slightly more than I need(by a lot).
I prefer command line for simplicity and other GUI options outside of bacula just seemed more complex than needed
“rysnc -a /pathto/orig_folder /pathto/ backup_folder” is all it takes and after doing my backup of my movie folder I realized this is more than enough

I plan to have a monthly backup thats replaced monthly and biannual replaced every six months of configs
I will have monthly of static items (movies, music, etc). These I will update new only, never delete or replace.
I have decided to eliminate Raid Array in favor of local and offisite backups. This adds drive space for me but provides better solution for recovery in case of failure.

18

Hi,

You may want to look into rdiff-backup or backupninja (which uses rdiff-backup too) as they can do incremental/differential backups. I used to use crash plan for backups (more offsite than local) but after they ended the user plans I switched to duplicati. For the music/movies items I use greyhole with success.

19

I think all those are based off librsync (rsync). Rsync is differential backup.

I am looking into encrypted backup. This is not super critical since it’s just stuff like movies and non supersecret files but just for thoroughness I will be looking for encrypted backup solution.

Duplicity looks good. I saw this and think it may be good solution. I think running this in docker may be just the trick.

For backups I’d recommend Restic:

Hi,

I’m trying to move my zoneminder vm to a docker container but couldn’t find a good one. The one you are using is the 1.29 version. Did you get a newer one? thanks in advance!

p.s. it seems that there’s not a official docker file yet, and the ones i tried didn’t worked :-(.
