Install Home Assistant with Docker
- So first we need to make sure our system is up to date
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade - Then we need to install the pre-reqs for Home Assistant
sudo apt-get install network-manager apparmor-utils jq -y
- Then reboot the Pi
sudo reboot
- Once the Pi is back, then we need to get the official docker script for RPI
curl -fsSL <https://get.docker.com> -o get-docker.sh
- Once the script is downloaded, then we need to run it
sudo sh get-docker.sh
- Then we need to give the PI user docker permissions
sudo usermod -aG docker pi
- Then we can grab the Official HA Installer Script. You can find the latest version here: https://github.com/home-assistant/os-agent/releases/tag/1.2.2
sudo curl -Lo installer.sh <https://github.com/home-assistant/os-agent/releases/download/1.2.2/os-agent_1.2.2_linux_armv7.deb>
- Finally we need to run the installer
sudo dpkg -i os-agent_1.2.2_linux_armv7.deb
- Now we install Supervisor
wget <https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/releases/latest/download/homeassistant-supervised.deb>
- Now once the install is complete, we can test by going to:
<http://localhost:8123> or <http://homeassistant:8123>
