Hi Mick - Thanks, glad it worked and was easy to follow, one of my rules is that I strive to keep things easy to follow after various tutorials I find on YT and websites I found them not very easy to follow, some are good of course but a lot are complex and difficult. So thanks. Yeah I guess having it do something would be good 😆. I have it controlling smart plugs and smart lights which is always a good start, something fairly easy if you're a beginner/just starting out with HASS.
Hi Reza - you're most welcome. Hello to all the Iranian viewers of my channel. Where ever you live you're most welcome to participate in MrTimTech's comments and watch too.
You're very welcome @The Fogbound, glad the video helped you out. Let me know if there's anything you would like me to produce videos on and I will consider it.
Hi all! After installing HA, the Run button is greyed out in Container Manager's Image. I followed the instructions, which are very straight forward. I have a DS920+ which is compatible
Hello, thanks for this video. I have one question. I followed exactly each step you did and everything worked. But I would like to also install HACS (Home Assistant Community Store), and I was not able to do so. I enabled advanced features for admin account, but I was not able to add SSH integration in HA (it is not visible there) to perform HACS command line installation. Can you please create followup video how to do add HACS on synology docker installation? Or at least guide me how to get HACS there? Should I use Synology build in terminal to docket image instead? Thanks for letting me know.
@@MrTimTech2022 Hello, I did the research meantime and found a solution and did it by myself. However, not everybody migt be so lucky. 🙂 Also it would be good to add explanation how to perform upgrade of container and not loosing changes made. What do you think? Again, thank you for your videos and guidance.
@@Lopata_Lopatnicek Excellent, glad you were able to find the solution. I agree with you and your suggestion, I will certainly note to do a video on this. Thanks for the suggestion 👍
@@Lopata_Lopatnicek I have also not been able to find how to install HACS, when Home Assistant has been install on a Synology NAS in a docker container.
@@MrTimTech2022 I have also tried a few internet searches but have not been able to find how to install HACS, when Home Assistant has been install on a Synology NAS in a docker container. There are lots of how to for other types of HACS install but I am still yet to find how HACS when it is installed on a Synology NAS in a docker container
You shouldn't lose data after an update, there must be something you are doing wrong. I suspect you have skipped some instructions, maybe start again from scratch (do a backup of Home Assistant first) and then restore the backup.
@@MrTimTech2022 Thanks!!! your video helps me to solve this and indeed al the data/config are stored in my shared folder which i am on daily bases backing up to the cloud :)
Same for me, lost everything with the last update. And my ./docker/homeassistant folder is empty. I think (maybe i m wrong) that you miss the /config folder creation
I suspect you might have missed one of the steps from my video. If you enter the IP address in the internet browser address bar without ':8123' what happens ? If it loads your NAS page then the IP address is correct. If it does not load your NAS page then you might probably have the wrong IP address or maybe a firewall rule is blocking access, maybe you have it in another VLAN. Also check that the Docker Container for Home Assistant has a green dot against it's name to show it's loaded and running.
Thank you very easy tutorial but a the end when I try to connect to nas_ip_address:8123, the home assistant log in page does not open and the browser is unable to loading page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's difficult for me to assist without seeing your setup, but I would probably go through the steps one by one and check to make sure that you haven't missed something. You could try opening up a Command Prompt and try using the ping command to see if you get replies from your NAS IP address & port.
Firstly, what an excellent video. With a little bit or tweaking for my system I seem to have set up HA on my DS920+. I also encountered the same issue of not being able to access HA via the 8123 port (using Google Chrome). I tried the same URL on Firefox and it went straight in. I noticed that URL was modified by the browser to 192.168.1.130:8123/onboarding.html (130 being the ip address on my network for the NAS). I then pasted this same URL into chrome and it also went straight to the HA welcome screen.
@ianbeck5897 - I think it's web browser related as I'm using the Brave internet browser which is Chromium based as Chrome is, there must be some security settings in Firefox that's preventing http url's from being opened, check Firefox settings to allow http addresses (as it's not a https address for Home Assistant with only local access). I suspect the same applies to @eneaas6690 as well.
@@MrTimTech2022 My NAS didnt show Container Manager as my model DS718+ didnt automatically update to 7.2. This is not unique to this model, as there are multiple models that need a manual update to DSM 7.2. Once this was done, Container Manager was there and your video flowed perfectly. Thank you.
Got me running Homeassistant in 15 minutes, excellent tutorial. 🏆
Woohoo great stuff @ardlab7962 - Glad it worked and you've found it helpful. Thanks very much😄
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Worked perfectly.
You're very welcome, glad you found it helpful
Agree!
Super tutorial ! it took 15mn for me too ! Thank you !
Thanks Jean, glad the tutorial worked for you and you were able to do it in no time!
Duidelijk toelichting. Werkt perfect op deze wijze !

I may well do a video re HACS, but you could maybe try doing an internet search in the meantime which might provide a solution quicker.

hello. Thanks for this video. One question : Is it a HA Supervisor ? for install more adds on
Hey Greg - Yes you certainly should be able to add more add ons, you may need to enable to Community add-on.
I am losing always after the update my Data, will this be solved by using the shared folder? this will helps me!!

@@Bboygate Thanks, excellent - good to hear you have a robust backup routine. As always 'Backup your data' people.
I think there's something that you've missed, however I don't think you should be putting it in a shared (Data) folder.
sit is not aviable. i cant go to the :8123. What changes do i have to make?

If it loads your NAS page then the IP address is correct.

needs updating do not see container manager it only show Docker and it is completly different to your install.
You should be downloading 'Container Manager' from the Synology Store. You can search for Docker but only 'Container Manager' shows up.

@@Ritewy Great stuff, glad you were able to do a manual update and get Container Manager up and running with the VM. 👌
