Quick Home Assistant setup with Docker

Russ

I wrote this start.sh bash script to run Home Assistant for the Youtube demo but you could also use it to try out Home Assistant and/or the TRIGGERcmd integration for it:

#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p ~/ha/config
docker run -d \
  --name homeassistant \
  --privileged \
  -e TZ=America/Detroit \
  -v ~/ha/config:/config \
  -v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro \
  -p 8123:8123 \
  --rm \
  ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable

This shows my session where I ran it, then confirmed it's running with the docker ps command:

russ@RussHP:~/ha$ cat start.sh
#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p ~/ha/config
docker run -d \
  --name homeassistant \
  --privileged \
  -e TZ=America/Detroit \
  -v ~/ha/config:/config \
  -v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro \
  -p 8123:8123 \
  --rm \
  ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
russ@RussHP:~/ha$ ./start.sh

After it was running, I was able to access it at http://localhost:8123
