For others, beware that in a docker, each plugin needs its own docker container.

I run everything in docker except for HA which I run in a VM (HaOS) which makes it super easy to use.

Edit: by plugins I meant add-ons

each plugin needs its own docker container.

What are you talking about? This is simply not true.

No it's true. I run ha in a docker container too, and it doesn't support the plugin supervisor at all. You have to spin up your own plugin containers manually and configure the connection to them in the core ha instance, that's what I did with piper/wyoming. I'd be happy to share a compose file if someone wants it.

With plugins you mean add-ons like Z2M, Mosquitto or VSCode Server, right?

[–] OutOfMemory@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Correct, yes, the word I meant is addon, not plugin.
