I get why there are people that don’t like how some installers do this, but this trope is really turning into the “but I don’t even own a TV” of OSS commentary.

Just use the Docker image if you don’t like it. Or get their appliance which actually supports ongoing development.

Yea; I run HomeAssistant via the official Docker container and have been pretty happy with it. It's only accessible on my local network, and my phone/laptop/etc use Wireguard to talk to it if I'm somewhere else.

Just installed that, myself. Same way. Instantly worked. Kicking myself for not installing this sooner, it's pretty rad.

Once you’re kind of settled there take a look at NodeRED. Integrates really cleanly with Home Assistant and for most of the kinds of people on HN that are already technically inclined, it makes much more complex automations and integrations a piece of cake.
