so I’m running HA on HASS right now, and to be quite frank, it’s my first development/hacking project that’s heavily containerized and I am not perfectly sure I understand the best workflow for hacking on this yet. (By which I mean I definitely don’t.) I would know how to do this in a package-based install, but I want to try something new
Say, for example, I want to pull in a new version of a python library (such as pyvlx) into my local instance. Or try any other patch really.
What’d be the best workflow to do so? Is there a recommended way to install an overlay to the container image, rebuild the container image myself …?
I’m sorry if this is covered in the documentation; if I missed it, I shall be quite grateful if you could point me to the URL.
What does pyvlx do? Is it to run a component? If so, you can use your custom component to use a new version of any library you wish. You can use custom components to overwrite core components or enhance them.
If you want to just learn how to develop core, I suggest you read and use docker.
I’m not really sure what you are trying to accomplish.
