Home Assistant (former Hass.io) is a container-based system for managing your Home Assistant Core installation and related applications. The system is controlled via Home Assistant which communicates with the Supervisor. The Supervisor provides an API to manage the installation. This includes changing network settings or installing and updating software.
Installation instructions can be found at https://home-assistant.io/hassio.
The development of the Supervisor is not difficult but tricky.
- You can use the builder to create your Supervisor: https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-builder
- Access a HassOS device or VM and pull your Supervisor.
- Set the developer modus with the CLI tool:
ha supervisor options --channel=dev - Tag it as
homeassistant/xy-hassio-supervisor:latest - Restart the service with
systemctl restart hassos-supervisor | journalctl -fu hassos-supervisor - Test your changes
