No Add-Ons option : Ubuntu / Docker install

Installation
1

Hello guys,

I followed this tutorial to install HA in Ubuntu Server + Docker as I had an old laptop that wasn’t being used.

I wanted to install HACS but I don’t have the Add-Ons option.

Do I have done something wrong or should I installed other “version” of HA?

  1. Add-ons only exist with Home Assistant OS.
  2. HACS is not an add-on, it’s a custom component you have to install

Start here for installing HACS

Thanks!

When running the WGET , I get a message saying “Error : Version 2022.9.7 is not new enough, needs at least 2022.11.0”

When I go to Settings/System/Updates it says I have no updates available.

How can I update HA?

It looks like you used Docker, so you just need to pull a new image and create a new container. Unless you were sensible enough to use Docker Compose, when you just have to pull and up the container.

I must have done something wrong when I first installed this some months ago…
I was able to pull a new container into /home/na/homeassistant/config and install HACS
But when I go to https://myip:8123 I still see the previous version Home Assistant 2022.9.7

My previous installation was on /home/na/HAConfig so it seems it’s still getting something from there.

I removed everything inside /home/na, removed all containers, docker ps -a returns an empty table, then rebooted ubuntu.

After the restart, the /home/na/HAConfig pops up again…

I tried to run the docker run… into /home/na/HAConfig again to try to update it but it still keeps showing 2022.9.7.

As I don’t use this Ubuntu for anything else, isn’t there a way to clear all HA installations and start over?

As detailed in the link I provided if you’re using docker run then:

  1. Stop the container
  2. Delete the container
  3. Start the container fresh

You are a lot better off switching to Docker compose.

I just did that. It still shows the wrong version:

image

But strange enough it let me install HACS
image

After restarting HA, HACS still doesn’t show.
Anything missing?

Then the container you’re connecting to isn’t the one that you’re interacting with on the command line

Or you’ve got a local venv install too.

Well, I just went and reinstalled Ubuntu, Docker and HA.
I now have 1 container with the most recent version of HA 2023.2.3
I installed HACS per your instructions, restarted HA, still doesn’t show up.

The reason I want HACS is to install the custom Daikin AC integration from GitHub - rospogrigio/daikin_residential: Cloud control of Daikin devices that are supported by Daikin Residential Controller app.

Did you follow the HACS instructions?

Particularly this page and the section above the Danger box.

And there it is. Thanks.
