Home Assistant Setup

This is my Home Assistant setup. I have Home Assistant have set up on Ubunutu Server on ESXi, hosting Docker.

In order to get Haaska working, I used NginxProxyManager to server Home Assistant along with other services.

Home Assistant was set up using the homeassistant/home-assistant Docker Image. /PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG was remapped to /docker/homeassistant The equivalent docker run would be:

docker run --init -d --name="home-assistant" -e "TZ=America/New_York" -v /docker/homeassistant:/config --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant:stable

Update 2020-01-23: Docker run command migrated to docker-compose. This will make it easier in the future to update Home Assistant releases.
