Raspbian + Docker + Hass.io and static ip?

Installation
1

I installed succesfully Hass.io to RaspberryPi 3B+:

sudo -i

apt-get update

apt-get install -y apparmor-utils apt-transport-https avahi-daemon ca-certificates curl dbus jq 
network-manager socat software-properties-common

curl -fsSL get.docker.com | sh

usermod -aG docker pi
    
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-build/master/install/hassio_install" 
| bash -s -- -m raspberrypi3

But problem is, after this Raspberrys mac address changes every time when Raspberry is rebooted, so I cannot set static IP for it in my router. So how to do it?

I know this is more Docker question, but I’m sure that here are many people who have similar setup.
I’m trying to learn both, Hass.io and Docker, so be gentle :slight_smile:

As you are running on top of raspbian that would control the IP address of the host.

It’s not, because Docker doesn’t have anything to do with the IP address on your host. :wink:

Is it normal behaviour that after I installed these packages MAC address (propably) changed, beacause it got a new ip from my routers dhcp?

apt-get install -y apparmor-utils apt-transport-https avahi-daemon ca-certificates curl dbus jq 
network-manager socat software-properties-common

Im trying to understand what is behind this.

It is NETWORK-MANAGER causing it, but it’s not a problem

Is network-manager necessary for this kind of setup?
I tried some other methods to setup static mac for wlan, but no success. Even macchanger didn’t work.
With google I found some others complaining same issues with Pi 3B+.

sudo apt-get remove network-manager

Fixes the problem, but does this affect necessary processes?

No idea. I don’t use hassio.

I use home assistant in docker. :wink:

It is not normal at all for a mac address to change. At least not on a non-mobile device. The whole purpose of a mac address is to hard code an identity of the hardware.

Hardcoded stays same, but the mac visible to the network changes when network-manager is installed.
When I tested macchanger it identified macs as

Current MAC:   bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb (unknown)
Permanent MAC: aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa (Raspberry Pi Foundation)

So mac spoofing any other ways but random mac didnt work.

This all changed in the last couple of years. It’s a network manager thing.

Hi everyone. I reopen this topic because I have a strange problem with this kind of installation.

After installing Raspbian, i have assigned the static IP 192.168.1.30 in the dhcpcd.conf file. That IP is outside of the DHCP range of my router. I have used Raspbian without Home Assistant for several days without problems, and it has only the fixed IP (192.168.1.30).

The problem begin when I installed Home Assistant Supervised because it needs NetworkManager. After installing docker and Home Assistant, i have observed that i have 2 IPs for my Raspberry, one i had fixed outside the DHCP range (192.168.1.30) and other one within the DHCP range.

I think DHCPCD get the fixed IP, and Network Manager ask a DHCP for my router, i don’t know why.

have any of you had this problem? How have you solved it?

Try

sudo apt-get purge network-manager
