So I have just installed Home Assistant (0.80.3) on my Epenology (Synology) Nas Via Docker. I can get to my install, see all my Google Home minis. Which are pretty much my only smart device in the house.
I do not see a Hass.io tab, from my understanding this needs to be installed as I’m using a vanilla Home Assistant install. But I can’t for the life of me find an install instructions for just Hass.io, all my searches come back with RasberyPie images of full Home Assistant installs.
You need to install Hass.io in Docker not home assistant. They are two different things.
Oops just realised Dake’s Script is unfortunately not going to work on Synology…
Instead take a read here but I’m not familiar with Synology so might not be appropriate. They have their own app manager don’t they ?
One thing more…if you are running Hass.io then make sure make sure to enable the Hass.io panel by adding either discovery: or hassio: to your configuration.

Where do I add this?
Synology uses www.docker.com which is not their own app application manager but virtual environment. You can run a ton of stuff in it.
The instructions are in the middle of the page. It doesn’t give the option to install a container with Hass.io on it. Installation - Home Assistant
you can run hassio in docker in fact hassio ONLY runs in docker. I did a generic linux install of hassio with a host OS of debian and it works fine (with the hassio panel)
to the OP you installed Home Assistant in Docker which is not hassio. I don’t know if you can install hassio as a generic linux install on synology. You will have to check the hassio installation instructions.
thanks for reply.
I already installed hass.io and worked with deconz addon too.But I want to add new cluster through deconz UI . But I cant able to access Deconz file. [ I cant able to see the deconz file [tat folder path is missing] in hass.io so i cant able to add “custom.xml” to the deconz UI ]
I understood they run on different instance . So i thought of installing home assitance in manual way . But there is no hassio tab .
I found this Whitelist_external_dirs: and the Fatal error while loading config: 'packages' problem
From above link I understood Installing hass.io and should edit the configuration.yaml file with /whitelist-external-dirs and reboot or restart hass.io to access the files https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/basic/
I didnt try yet. I dunno whether it will work or not.
How do you suppose we did it before “the configurator”? How do you think people use Home Assistant without Hassio??
Seriously…I don’t use hassio, but I have full access to my configurations. You have access to the OS, edit the files as you need. Or install Samba, or use ftp, or use sshfs, sftp, blah blah blah. There are a hundred ways to do this.
how is the folder path missing from hassio?
What exactly are you trying to do???
if you want to whitelist a directory, whitelist the directory!
I want to add new cluster and intergrate with home assitance . By default you have general.xml in deCONZ folder . So I thought of adding my custom.xml to the file through ssh.

From above , Chapter 10 says we can add custom cluster.
I cant able to access the file . They run on different instance .
if you want to whitelist a directory, whitelist the directory!
If I whitelist the directory , tat particular directory will be available in hass.ioso that i can access the file from deconz UI.

I want you to think about this. How would anyone use home assistant if this were the case? Do you really think that many people would run home assistant at all if this were true?
This is some of the craziest stuff I have ever heard. Home Assistant has many options to install, hassio being only ONE of them. Everyone that is NOT running hassio still has access to their configuration files. Hassio isn’t magical…
