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

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

• Go to the Docker-app and move to “Container”-section

• Right-click on it and select “Action”->“Restart”.
