When I was getting started with home assistant a few years ago, I remember being put off with thinking it was hard and expensive to get up and running. This isn’t true, and you can get started with it within 10 minutes easily.
Note that for this method, you’ll need to be running Mac or Linux – it’s still possible on Windows, but you’ll need to do it through a Virtual Machine, as windows doesn’t support the Docker Host configuration.
This is the Docker Compose YAML I use in the video:
“`
version: ‘3’
services:
homeassistant:
container_name: home-assistant
image: ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
volumes:
– /Users/ben/Desktop/home-assistant/config:/config
– /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
– “8123:8123”
“`
