Installation on Docker


Installation with Docker is straightforward. Adjust the following command so that /path/to/your/config/ points at the folder where you want to store your config and run it:

$ docker run -d --name="home-assistant" -v /path/to/your/config:/config -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant

This will launch Home Assistant and serve the web interface from port 8123 on your Docker host.

When using boot2docker on OS X you are unable to map the local time to your Docker container. Replace -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro with -e "TZ=America/Los_Angeles" (replacing America/Los_Angeles with your timezone)
