## Installation of home-assistant on Synology

Follow https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/alternative/:

The steps would be:

* Install “Docker” package on your Synology NAS

* Launch Docker-app and move to “Registry”-section

* Find “homeassistant/home-assistant” within registry and click on “Download”. Choose the “stable” tag.

* Wait for some time until your NAS has pulled the image

* Move to the “Image”-section of the Docker-app

* Click on “Launch”

* Choose a container-name you want (e.g., “homeassistant”)

* Click on “Advanced Settings”

* Set “Enable auto-restart” if you like

* Within “Volume” click on “Add Folder” and choose either an existing
  folder or add a new folder. The “mount path” has to be “/config”, so
  that Home Assistant will use it for the configs and logs. It is
  therefore recommended that the folder you choose should be named
  “config” or “homeassistant/config” to avoid confusion when
  referencing it within service calls. 

* Within “Network” select “Use same network as Docker Host”

* To ensure that Home Assistant displays the correct timezone go to
the “Environment” tab and click the plus sign then add variable = TZ &
value = Europe/London choosing your correct timezone

* Confirm the “Advanced Settings”

* Click on “Next” and then “Apply”

* Your Home Assistant within Docker should now run and will serve the
  web interface from port 8123 on your Docker host (this will be your
  Synology NAS IP address - for example http://10.0.0.142:8123, dethlefsen:8123) 


## Update and restart HA on Synology in Docker

Remark: to update your Home Assistant on your Docker within Synology NAS, you just have to do the following:

* Go to the Docker-app and move to “Registry”-section

* Find “homeassistant/home-assistant” within registry and click on
  “Download”. Choose the “stable” tag.
  
* Wait until the system-message/-notification comes up, that the
  download is finished (there is no progress bar)
  
* Move to “Container”-section

* Stop your container if it’s running

* Right-click on it and select “Action”->“Reset”. You won’t lose any
  data, as all files are stored in your configuration-directory

* Start the container again - it will then boot up with the new Home
  Assistant image
