Home Assistant without Docker

Hi, I have an older Synology DS214play which doesn't support Docker. Does anyone have instructions for setting up HA without Docker?

Best way is probably to look at the home assistant documentation https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/

Though I believe HA does use containers even if you just install it.

Avoid Docker for HA.

It wont run in supervisor mode so you can't get the recent API stuff from on here to work properly if at all.

yandards sorry but that is simply incorrect. I run HA with the supervisor in a docker container with influxdb, node-red, grafana and GivTcp in their own containers.

In fact if you install it not in a docker and then backup you config and then re-install it into a docker container, and restore the backup, it puts all the other items in containers.

I re-installled mine over the weekend when I upgraded my rpi4 to raspian 64bit. Took a couple of hours to sort start to finish.

Oh and I also use node-red to pull the data from the givenergy servers using the api’s so that works too.

anglefire I stand corrected, apologies for any confusion.

I don't think Synologys Docker plug in allows an install in supervisor mode but I might be wrong there too.

yandards now that I don’t know - but if it supports dockers then the answer is probably yes!

anglefire Seems the simplest approach is to add http://packages.synocommunity.com/ to the Synology sources list: Package Center -> Settings -> Package Sources. And then add it from the Community area. I got version 2021.9.7-15 HA Core this way.
