Home Assistant Docker > Hass.io Supervisor Migration

[SauRoNZA]

So I see they now have a Docker image for this distribution to finally have Hass.io on a device other than a Raspberry Pi.

My question is what's the simplest way to migrate to this version of it? Just copying the entire configuration doesn't seem to be the right answer.

Or should I just take this as a good incentive to start mostly fresh and do it all from scratch?

I would suggest taking a complete backup.

Unzip this on your personal computer, and selectively copy the files that you want into your shared config folder, after you have installed the basic addons.

No answer for you, but what would be the benefit of using hass.io on docker instead of home assistant on docker?
The one thing I know is that addons would need to be installed yourself from docker directly, but that doesn't seem to be an issue so far (depending I guess on all the addons you're using)

What else is there?

Make backup of whole hassio config folder.
When you have supervisor installed, only restore the yaml files first.

The dB and the storage folder I will hold off on because that could be more tricky.

Yaml + integrationa that wasn't in the yaml.
Install HACS and your add-ons.

Yeah I tried it first time nuking the database but had no luck, but forgot about Storage so need to try it by killing that as well.

HACS? I thought that comes built-in on the Supervisor?

Yeah primarily it's the add-ons factor, none of it works the same if you run it "manually" in Docker and of course not everything is available or as easily integrated.

But it's also a mission for me to find out what the difference really is, there must be a good reason they've worked so hard to release this now.

Yeah, I've seen a few addons that are not easy to setup without hassio - but then I see there's the supervisor as well, which is another thing I'm not how it ties into the ecosystem.

Wasnt when I installed it. But its an addon install like any other on hassio.

Oh so it’s basically just to enable third party Addons, not addons themselves?

Also you’ve exposed your domain to all these heathens, so you can nuke that image now.

Correct its for the community addons. Useful stuff there like:
- ShellyForHass (Using this to auto discovery shellies and configure them in HA)
- customer header (lovelace header customization)
- auto-entities (lovelace card)
- fold-entity-row (lovelace card)
- Themes

Basically it makes installing and updating community addons easy.

I have rate limiting set up in Traefik and not to worries what else they want to do. Besides, my home domain is all over google already from past links.

I included the url, to show, it shows 'hassio' as part of the store, which means its the same store on supervisor as on hassio. Like exactly the same store for official addons.
