⚠️ UPDATE: The written guide was last updated on April 22nd, 2020. Updated the command to install Home Assistant Supervised. Link --> www.juanmtech.com/set-up-hassio-in-docker-and-in-an-ubuntu-server/
"This install method has been deprecated". It is no longer possible to use this install method. Do you have a workaround? Your instruction videos are much appreciated :)
@@jand187 I had the same experience. It failed for me so then I tried and was able to get HA Core installed on Pi running Raspbian via docker but I do not get the supervisor with it. I noticed it appears as a separate repository in the Docker Hub but it beats the hell out of me on how to install it and get it to interact with the core. Before they deprecate these things they really should provide clear instructions on alternate methods. I know they recommend VM but I have not been able to find a way to get virtualbox installed on raspbian and the gnomebox seems useless. Also, while ubuntu server install on the pi was successful, I could not get the 1st GUI (Lubuntu) I tried to work. On boot up, the Pi just freezes. I figured if I got a GUI on the server I could then get VB working. If the developers of HA thinking of becoming mainstream, they got to do better than this. Not everyone wants to virtually become a developer to be able to implement something like this.
I've been running this setup for a few months and it's been by far the most reliable, moved over from a Raspberry Pi3 to an Dell i5 and performance is great. Never going back to Raspberry Pi.
The video was done just in time when I acquired an old Dell Optilex 7010 i3 to upgrade from rpi3. Made the whole process a walk in the park. I have been seeing your posts on Twitter for weeks on this topic. A lot of hard work goes behind making a well structured functional video. Just the right amount of information. Thank you :-)
I was not looking forward to moving from Raspberry Pi 3 to a mini pc running Ubuntu, was expecting it to be super hard, but this tutorial made moving over a breeze! Thanks Juan! :)
This is exactly how I have my Hassio installed, I will be sending people this video whenever they ask installed Hassio. Thanks Juan. If anyone runs into issues with sudo -i try sudo su instead to get to root. Also on my server I had to run apt-get update after adding the docker repository before I was able to install the latest version. I would also recomend installing the ssh addon after installing hassio but run it on a different port than 22 (the port your ubuntu server uses) because you still want to be able to SSH into ubuntu server to install security updates but you need the Hassio SSH addon to SSH into Hassio in the case that home assistant crashes.
I'm a huge fan of all of the checks you do throughout the setup process. It makes it much less stressful given that there is no GUI that easily tells you of issues.
Thank you. I hope to see more "next steps" videos. For example, what to do to keep everything patched and upgraded, especially if there are any got-chas associated with apt-get upgrade on the Ubuntu side when running HASSio in docker on a Oracle VM, etc. Thanks! Keep them coming.
Thanks Juan. After pulling my hair out failing to get the hassio vmdk booting all the way on esxi I found a comment that the vmdk is running docker containers under the hood anyways. Could have figured the ubuntu install with the docker containers out from the web pages, but with your video it was a breeze. Big time saver. Thanks again.
Hello Juan. I started having issues with RP3b locking up and needing a reboot. Decided to purchase an NUC and follow this well documented procedure. The goal is to make my home assistance instance as bullet proof as possible. This was a significant step in that direction. Thanks again for the great work you are doing!!
Thank You Juan! Installed my first system into Raspberry pi 3 according to your instructions - it was my first ever RP experience. Was looking for a more stable SSD solution and thanks to You I have now a passive Ubuntu computer running HA in Docker - My first ever Linux experience. Wery good and detailed instructions! Waiting for additional instructions for Docker from You: ssh, Grafana and InfluxDB. Keep up the good work!
@@JuanMTech It is amazing that i was able to complete the setup and get it running without any knowledge of Linux commands. There was 1 small step where I got stuck actually - the Samba share part, that You did not cover and slided over. In Raspberry You need to define Interface eth0 for ethernet connection, but it did not work for Ubuntu this way, after leaving it blank all worked as a charm. If I now have a Ubuntu system, it seems logical not to install programs inside HA, but install in Docker instead. At least there is a difference in my head :D
So question for you... Why would I do this, Hass.io over just doing a Home Assistant container? It was my understanding that Hass,io was nothing more than a container type install of Home Assistant to begin with. I run mine with home assistant container only, and often wonder if I'm missing anything.
Hi Juan, I really like you approach to instructional videos. They work well. I used this video to set up my HA on a NUC-i3 I know you did an update in April 2020 to the written doco. Since then Home Assistant has changed a lot and one of the changes is that they no longer support Ubuntu! I was wondering if you had some advice on how I/we could move over from the installation that you recommended to the now supported debian install? I know I could do a complete rebuild but was hoping that there might be an easier way? Is there an easier way? The current symptoms... Every so often now I get an "unhealthy" message in supervisor. This stops any HA updates. The work around that I have found is to : 1. Do all outstanding Ubuntu Updates . I try and keep on top of these. 2. Reboot NUC (warm boot/restart) 3. Wait for HA to start and then check "unhealthy" is gone 4. If "unhealthy" is gone, do HA update. It works for the time being but I don't know how long it will. Looking forward to hearing your views. Thank you Ron
Hello. Thanks for your great work!...I Am a Linux noob :-) in which folder can the HA installation be found? I am asking this because I want to use hacs and need to place the custom folder.
Great video! One thing I'd point out is that updating container state from within the container (e.g. updating hass via the gui) goes against docker best practices. I'm not a hass expert, but I'd imagine you can export your config file, copy that to the host that is running docker, then launch a new container built from the latest hass image and use your config file to apply your changes. I imagine this can probably be done by mounting a volume on the host and keeping the config there as well.
Hi Juan, I followed the whole procedure and it worked without any problems, BUT I can't create a folder or a file with Winscp, a Permission denied message appears. Error code: 3. I believe this refers to permissions on the docker. I would know how I can change the permissions because I can't install the hack to install samba to restore my old backup.Thank you
Great video. All goes well until I get to the hassio install line( curl -sL "raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-installer/master/hassio_install.sh" | bash -s). I get the 404 message. Is there a newer link?
Why install Portainer separately? As in, the Portainer add-on would give you the same Portainer, but does support Ingress (and thus available via Nabu Casa Cloud). Nevertheless, great video again!
@@JuanMTech That makes sense in a way, but is a false sense of security though. Once someone has access to your HA (remotely), one would already have full access.
@@TuncayAyhan :) It is fine though, but good to know add-ons run separate and are accessible without HA as well... Ingress would be additional functionality.
Great video! However, things seem to be changing and docker with supervisor might get deprecated if it isn't already (?). From what I can tell, we don't actually need supervisor and so I would love a guide that shows how to install home assistant in docker (not supervisor) and then how to install various add-ons in their own docker containers.
FYI! If someone wants to have the samba share for docker you can use this same channels guide for that but in the smb.conf for the home-assistant path use: /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant
Can we do the same with with Unraid? Minimal setup would be to have Unraid without the need for Portainer. I had tried a similar setup with CentOS but HassIO never worked.
I'm wondering this same thing . . . still trying to find info. on how to run HassIO via Docker on Unraid; there's a good video on running it as VM, but I don't have enough RAM to block it off for a VM....
Having an issue getting supervised version. I'm trying to install HA in Ubuntu. I got it to work but its a non supervised version. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong???? Followed your steps in the April 22, 2020 guide.
Hello, I’m fairly new to all this and very new to Linux. I’m wanting to move from a Pi to a PC. The instructions are great and easy to follow but I’m just wondering, what did you have installed in the PC prior? Ubuntu? And then you download the server to that? Thanks
hi jan great video. I followed to the letter, all went as expected no errors, all looks good until you login and try to install the samba addon to get my backup restored. the supervisor says my system is unhealthy when i click the learn more link it tells me the supervisor not privileged and to fix re run the install script. Done that no help. Does anyone know how to work around this. with out installing buster.
I am going be migrating from my VM to a Docker install, just curious as to how you are persisting your data with docker for hassio? Does your install script mount a volume? Thanks for the great vids BTW!
Excellent video as usual. It fell apart however at the last stage of installing hassio. Perhaps an updated command line with a different URL? Thanks for the excellent work!
The command to install Home Assistant Supervised was changed. I updated the written guide with the new changes. You can find the link in the video description.
Hello Juan Great guide, it worked like a charm. I have one question. When going in home assistant when going to supervisor --> system it says "You are running an unsupported installation. Learn more". When clicking on Learn more it says "operating systems to run the Supervisor on: Home Assistant OS Debian 10 (Buster)" What is the reason that we use Ubuntu instead of debian?
Hi Juan, your videos on home assistant have been extremely helpful. It seems like the command to run the scrip to install hassio to docker isn't working for me. I seem to just be getting a 404 from the github address?
The command to install Home Assistant Supervised was changed. I updated the written guide with the new changes. You can find the link in the video description.
Hello. Followed your instructions, brilliant. Installed docker, hello worked etc. Installed HA which I think is fine. But I can not access it through a browser. Any ideas how to find a fault? My browser just displays that the page can not be reached or says it’s not secure. I added the page to trusted sites but nope. Any ideas. Thank you
Hi there, thanks for great tutorial, but I've a question, Can I use docker with home assistant in windows 10? I think you have used virtualization , it is necessary?
Juan, Thank you, I installed Ubuntu 19.10 on a NUC and followed your instructions to install Hassio. I had issues with loading docker..but there was a github issue #833 "Docker-CE package is missing for Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan"" that helped me get around this. I am new to Linux so your video was very helpful. Thanks again.
Hi I love your videos. So relaxed - makes it very easy to follow. I have tried installing ubuntu server 20 on an old laptop. No problems, but there is no network. Laptop is connected via ethernet. Can't see the laptop on my network.
@@JuanMTech Fast answer Juan :) Thanks. I´ve found som threads about this but I havent figured It out yet. I´m not so familiar with docker so its a slow progress :) I also would like to dedicate eth0 to one container (hassio prod) and eth1 to container (hassio dev)
Everything worked fine for me the first time, but now I don't know how to configure a ZWave usb, and manage the nodes. Could you explain this? Thank you,
Most likely I did not listen well. I see you are running the instance on a VM. I did not see anything about the in your video. Is this video only for ones who want to run just Ubuntu solely on a PC? Do you recommend runniing home assistant on a VM? Thanks for your time Juan Chad from Minnesota!
Hi, @JuanMTech! I have installed hassio in a docker like you did above. I have a question: I'm trying to run a command in the terminal like 'python my_script_python.py' and then the terminal retuns 'python: command not found'. I did search all folders but none. How I could install python on my hassio docker image?
Great video, how to remove Home Assistant,?I Need to reinstall to fix some problems. Tried to run all the commands again but the configuration is still there.
Great Video, I installed on a old Mac-mini and works properly, the only problem is that I can not see any USB to flash the ESPhome for the first time, is there a command to activate?
Hi, apologise in advance for the question that I'm about to ask as I'm quite new with docker. is it correct to say that the curl command you entered for hassio installation (with the install.sh script), will automatically pull hassio image and run it within docker? if yes, then I should be able to do this within debian too, right?
Hey Juan, thanks for the clear and simple instruction to install. But I cannot find anywhere on how to install supervised-version (one with hass.io) on a mac with docker already running. Do you know or does anyone other know. Or work-around?
It worked perfect the first time. Now docker installs perfect, but when installing the hassio I get: Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. HELP!!!
This is a really simple way to get started with HomeAssistant and thanks for your effort. I have a custom ite, I want to add, but I'm not sure how with the script. This needs to be added to the docker run command. My server has 3 IP Addresses and I want Home Assistant to map to just one of them. Any input on how I can make this happen?
Is this video still relevant? I’ve just set up an Ubuntu server and I would love to know if I can still follow these instructions successfully or will any links/commands be outdated?
Your video and getting this setup worked great. Thank a bunch. But would like to get my use ports working so I can just update my boards from the Ubuntu Server. How do you get USB Device to work with Esphome in Hassio and running on Ubuntu server in docker. Also when I downloaded the Binary file I got a empty txt file in Win 10 home. Any help would be great.
To set up Home Assistant from scratch on Ubuntu , not transferring from a pi would I just do this same process except the step at 7:40 since it's new and there is no backup file?
Thank you for this movie. I followed your steps, but the Hass.io web interface is still not reachable. In portainer however the container is running. Any idea how to fix this?
Hello, I followed your instructions. But with this setup it is not possible for me to access HomeKit. My iPhone doesn't find home-assistant. I added "HomeKit:" in the configuration file. I also added the DNS server with: "sudo echo '{"dns": ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]}' > /etc/docker/daemon.json" What could be the problem?
Juan, Enjoy your videos and they have been a great resource. Question: What is the benefit from setting up Ubuntu and hassio on docker over not doing this migration? This is new to me and want to know if it's worth the time and trouble. Thanks.
Hi Juan, your tutorial helped me a lot in setting up everything and learn a lot. I also installed a unifi container on the same host, but i got a lot of problems with discovering my unifi devices. After a bit of research i found out how to setup macvlan and give the unifi controller an IP and more important a mac-adress in my local network so it could make L2 discovery. It works like a charm now and was wondering, if you could do the same for the Hass.io setup, so that i can access it via a local lan ip adress and i'm also worried about l2 discovery problems. It didn't seem trivial because there are three containers and the supervisor seems to do some things in conjunction with devices I found a few posts here and there on the internet but nothing really helpful or understandable. Any idea on how to set this up? I'm about to just change the network of the homeassistant container from host to my macvlan adapter. But i hoped to get some help or information before i risk shutting down my home xD
Thank you for a great guide. I followed it and it worked well for me on an Intel NUC8i3BEH with 8G RAM, with 2 x 240GB SSD. It would be great if another video was put together on how to integrate the Z-Wave stick. So far I have not had success in getting this to work. I tried the Wipe & Restore option of a snapshot from the RPi3 everything from the RPi3 but the z-Wave seem to work. I will keep trying but any hints would be great.
hi, can you please cover a little bit more on how to update portainer, because it keeps on showing update is available, but not sure how to update this, apt-get update / upgrade dont help. i followed all your tutorial and managed to moved from raspberry to NUC, my home has 30-40 devices connected, and the performance are awesome after moved to NUC, Thank you!!
I’ve already installed the Ubuntu Server but I’m following your tutorial for HA. My question is, Docker was installed as it was already ticked. Should I uninstall first and then reinstall with your instructions? Great vid btw.
JuanMTech wow, that was a speedy reply. Thank you. No idea if I have the correct settings. It was a recommendation and was already ticked when I did the install. Guess it won’t hurt to try.
⚠️ UPDATE: The written guide was last updated on April 22nd, 2020. Updated the command to install Home Assistant Supervised.

The command to install Home Assistant Supervised was changed. I updated the written guide with the new changes. You can find the link in the video description.
Hey, I just spoke with them and the issue was corrected. You should now be able to install it using the command in the written guide with no problem.
When I try to copy a backup I get the message '/ usr / share / hassio / homeassistant /' permission denied (winSCP)
Hello. Followed your instructions, brilliant. Installed docker, hello worked etc. Installed HA which I think is fine. But I can not access it through a browser. Any ideas how to find a fault? My browser just displays that the page can not be reached or says it’s not secure. I added the page to trusted sites but nope. Any ideas. Thank you
Hi there, thanks for great tutorial, but I've a question, Can I use docker with home assistant in windows 10? I think you have used virtualization , it is necessary?
Juan, Thank you, I installed Ubuntu 19.10 on a NUC and followed your instructions to install Hassio. I had issues with loading docker..but there was a github issue #833 "Docker-CE package is missing for Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan"" that helped me get around this. I am new to Linux so your video was very helpful. Thanks again.
Glad to help. 😁
Hi
I love your videos. So relaxed - makes it very easy to follow.
I have tried installing ubuntu server 20 on an old laptop. No problems, but there is no network. Laptop is connected via ethernet.
Can't see the laptop on my network.
Hi, Great video.
Is it possible to make two containers with two instances of hassio. One for dev and one for prod ?
🤔 Not sure. It's an interesting idea. I might actually look into it. If you find something before me. please share it with us.
@@JuanMTech Fast answer Juan :) Thanks.
I´ve found som threads about this but I havent figured It out yet.
I´m not so familiar with docker so its a slow progress :)
I also would like to dedicate eth0 to one container (hassio prod) and eth1 to container (hassio dev)
Without even watching it.... Thumb up.
Everything worked fine for me the first time, but now I don't know how to configure a ZWave usb, and manage the nodes.
Could you explain this?
Thank you,
Most likely I did not listen well. I see you are running the instance on a VM. I did not see anything about the in your video. Is this video only for ones who want to run just Ubuntu solely on a PC? Do you recommend runniing home assistant on a VM? Thanks for your time Juan Chad from Minnesota!
I followed step by step (I hope), do not see Supervisor tab so I can restore backup. Should I start again?
Thanks for the video, is there a way to install this unsupervised?
Will there be any updates to this tutorial soon? It's been almost a year since the last update.
Hi, @JuanMTech!
I have installed hassio in a docker like you did above. I have a question: I'm trying to run a command in the terminal like 'python my_script_python.py' and then the terminal retuns 'python: command not found'. I did search all folders but none. How I could install python on my hassio docker image?
Great video, how to remove Home Assistant,?I
Need to reinstall to fix some problems.
Tried to run all the commands again but the configuration is still there.
Great Video, I installed on a old Mac-mini and works properly, the only problem is that I can not see any USB to flash the ESPhome for the first time, is there a command to activate?
Hi, apologise in advance for the question that I'm about to ask as I'm quite new with docker. is it correct to say that the curl command you entered for hassio installation (with the install.sh script), will automatically pull hassio image and run it within docker? if yes, then I should be able to do this within debian too, right?
HELP! I am unable to stop or delete the containers running. If i delete them all, they just automaticly gets recreated.! How do I delete them?
Hey Juan, thanks for the clear and simple instruction to install. But I cannot find anywhere on how to install supervised-version (one with hass.io) on a mac with docker already running. Do you know or does anyone other know. Or work-around?
Thanks bro this works like a charm for me.
Glad to help 😁
It worked perfect the first time. Now docker installs perfect, but when installing the hassio I get:
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
HELP!!!
This is a really simple way to get started with HomeAssistant and thanks for your effort. I have a custom ite, I want to add, but I'm not sure how with the script. This needs to be added to the docker run command. My server has 3 IP Addresses and I want Home Assistant to map to just one of them. Any input on how I can make this happen?
Great video Juan! What ssh terminal client are you using?
The new windows terminal.
Is this video still relevant? I’ve just set up an Ubuntu server and I would love to know if I can still follow these instructions successfully or will any links/commands be outdated?
Your video and getting this setup worked great. Thank a bunch. But would like to get my use ports working so I can just update my boards from the Ubuntu Server.
How do you get USB Device to work with Esphome in Hassio and running on Ubuntu server in docker. Also when I downloaded the Binary file I got a empty txt file in Win 10 home. Any help would be great.
To set up Home Assistant from scratch on Ubuntu , not transferring from a pi would I just do this same process except the step at 7:40 since it's new and there is no backup file?
Thank you for this movie. I followed your steps, but the Hass.io web interface is still not reachable. In portainer however the container is running. Any idea how to fix this?
It seems that a step might've been missed. Try to set up the container again. If it doesn't work I would try doing everything again.
@@JuanMTech I tried this (thanks) and have the same problem
Hello, I followed your instructions. But with this setup it is not possible for me to access HomeKit. My iPhone doesn't find home-assistant. I added "HomeKit:" in the configuration file.
I also added the DNS server with: "sudo echo '{"dns": ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]}' > /etc/docker/daemon.json"
What could be the problem?
Juan,
Enjoy your videos and they have been a great resource. Question: What is the benefit from setting up Ubuntu and hassio on docker over not doing this migration? This is new to me and want to know if it's worth the time and trouble. Thanks.
For me and for what I’m using HA and my server, huge advantage. I guess it all depends on what you have and what you are using.
Hi Juan,
your tutorial helped me a lot in setting up everything and learn a lot.
I also installed a unifi container on the same host, but i got a lot of problems with discovering my unifi devices. After a bit of research i found out how to setup macvlan and give the unifi controller an IP and more important a mac-adress in my local network so it could make L2 discovery.
It works like a charm now and was wondering, if you could do the same for the Hass.io setup, so that i can access it via a local lan ip adress and i'm also worried about l2 discovery problems.
It didn't seem trivial because there are three containers and the supervisor seems to do some things in conjunction with devices
I found a few posts here and there on the internet but nothing really helpful or understandable.
Any idea on how to set this up?
I'm about to just change the network of the homeassistant container from host to my macvlan adapter.
But i hoped to get some help or information before i risk shutting down my home xD
Thank you for a great guide.
I followed it and it worked well for me on an Intel NUC8i3BEH with 8G RAM, with 2 x 240GB SSD.
It would be great if another video was put together on how to integrate the Z-Wave stick.
So far I have not had success in getting this to work.
I tried the Wipe & Restore option of a snapshot from the RPi3 everything from the RPi3 but the z-Wave seem to work.
I will keep trying but any hints would be great.
I don't get the Hassio tab in home assistant. Help?
hi, can you please cover a little bit more on how to update portainer, because it keeps on showing update is available, but not sure how to update this, apt-get update / upgrade dont help. i followed all your tutorial and managed to moved from raspberry to NUC, my home has 30-40 devices connected, and the performance are awesome after moved to NUC, Thank you!!
Why set a static IP on the router rather than the device itself? Is there any functional difference?
I'm getting an error saying please set machine for aarch64 after trying to install hassio on docker
how can I make my machine autologin if I reboot? or the machine shuts off for some reason. And can I reboot remotely?
Juan, once you setup this way, how do you get access to the Samba shares? Also, how do you get to the HASS cli?
I’ve already installed the Ubuntu Server but I’m following your tutorial for HA.
My question is, Docker was installed as it was already ticked. Should I uninstall first and then reinstall with your instructions?
Great vid btw.
If you have the correct setting for Docker to use home assistant then you are good.
JuanMTech wow, that was a speedy reply. Thank you. No idea if I have the correct settings. It was a recommendation and was already ticked when I did the install. Guess it won’t hurt to try.
I almost got it and right at the end: [error] Please set machine for aarch64 and had to add -- -m raspberrypi4 to the end of the ha install command
