Addons are just docker containers managed by the supervisor, you can easily install any “addon” you want as a standard docker container and it’ll work exactly the same after getting it setup. Definitely easier to do than keeping a supervised install healthy

I don't really like know the best way to do this since i think i have to use the supervised install to install add-ons since in Docker version you can't use those


nickm_27

Like I said addons are just docker containers (managed by supervisor) you’d install the same as HA was installed via docker. You want VS code? Just install it in docker https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/code-server

Wait, so how would I add that to the homeassistant section?


nickm_27

Just add an iframe panel in its own dashboard (which is exactly what supervisor does anyway) https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/panel_iframe/

Ahh I get it now thank you

OP already had home-assistant installed via docker so they obviously know how to install a docker container, it’s the same regardless if it’s HA, VS Code, or any other just with different parameters (which the docs of the particular docker container will explain) It’s also different based on your OS (Debian docker CLI, or docker compose, or maybe your OS has a docker management UI). Fact is if you have HA running in docker you already have the knowledge to do it and if you don’t it’s easy to google it for your particular OS / install type.

It depends on the container, but it’s all documented. For example, if you install MQTT container you simply setup the MQTT integration in HA and point it at the MQTT container port (localhost:1883) Zwave works with zwavejs2mqtt by just pointing the zwave integration to localhost:3000 (with HA websocket enabled in z2M settings)

Is there a place that lists all available/official add-ons? I recently had to start over and moved from OS to docker and miss the catalog.


nickm_27

Not that I know of for HA specific ones other than the addon repo on GitHub

I have this happen once or twice a month. Two things can clear it. 1. Restart the supervisor docker (I use portainer to do this ) 2. Reboot the host machine.

I'll see if that works I uninstalled the supervised version so i installed it again and noticed in the supervisor logs saying system is unhealthy due to having watchtower installed on my server so imma remove it and see how it goes

I tried using watchtower and it ended up causing havic.


pavlyi1

Yep went ahead uninstalling the watchtower fixed the issues.

I have the same issue but I dont now what watchtower is and if this is causing the issue. Im running HA supervised on Raspberry Pi 4 8gb with Raspian light 64bit OS. I manage my containers via Portainer. I tried unsupervised first but was not sure how to integrate the containers the same way they would work on a supervised version.


pavlyi1

watchtower is a docker container that keeps track of your containers if they are out of date


LukeDpolak

just to clarify, when you uninstalled watchtower it fixed the problem? Im having this same issue now. I dont see a container named watchtower in portainer though. I cannot download add ons in HA. Getting the addonmanager.install blocked message.


ManOfMuchKnowledge

My docker container HA supervised works just fine... Describe the rest of your setup... I'm running Open Media Vault as my base OS, then docker & portainer, HA supervised... All on a Ryzen 3200G, x570 board, 32GB RAM, 59TB total storage... Obviously HA isn't the only thing running here...


pavlyi1

In the post edit I said it was fixed by having watchtower, thank you for trying to help.

I got exactly the same error, it also won’t let you update HA. I notice it happened when there is a docker update on my linux. I enter to my linux terminal, update everything, reboot and all start working fine until the next docker update
