Tutorial: add Homebridge to Hass.io using Portainer

Third party integrations Homebridge
41

Hi, could you please help me to remove HomeBridge from Home Assistant?
I’ve been runnning HomeBridge on Home Assistant for about 4 months now.
The only problem is that Home Assistant supervisor complains that the installation is unsupported.
I would really appreciate if you could help me how I will uninstall it?
Thanks a lot

If you don’t need homebridge:

Go to portainer, remove the homebridge stack, then remove the homebridge image. Reboot ha, supervisor should be clean.

Is there another way to add HomeBridge to the same Raspberry Pi running HA now that Portainer is discontinued?

Wait - wouldn’t the Home Assistant supervisor complain that the installation is unsupported? Same as with @Mr.ToR, I ran into this a couple of months ago:

So… Has that changed since? Are we good to do portainer and homebridge in HAOS these days without the “unsupported” alert?

You’ll definitely get the unsupported installation alert by doing this.

HomeBridge Installation inside Home Assistant (Docker)

Today I was helping a friend and I did a fresh install of Home Assistant Operating System on a Raspberry Pi 4, and installed Portainer and Homebridge on Docker.

I used that docker-compose code to spin up homebridge:

version: '2'
services:
  homebridge:
    image: oznu/homebridge:latest
    restart: always
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PGID=1000
      - PUID=1000
      - HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI=1
      - HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI_PORT=8581
    volumes:
      - /homebridge

Here are additional useful links:

what does that entail?

Nothing really, HA will continue to function the same way. I think you’d just get less official support if you need to request help from mods or developers down the road.

Has anyone tried this? hassio-addons/homebridge at main · davide125/hassio-addons · GitHub

Looks like a way to use homebridge without putting HASS into insecure mode

I tested it and it’s working fine for me.
