I’m trying to migrate from HAOS to HA Container but that’s no way to restore the backup. Is there any other way to do this?

    Then find exactly what environment variables, config files, port mapping, etc… need to be placed in each container with 0 documentation at all.

    Not as simple as writing a compose block.

      Yeah, that’s what you put in a compose file, and you shouldn’t care about anything else, port mappings can be read from the Dockerfile if it’s not documented, and if the container was built correctly you shouldn’t care about config files.

      I never met a container with 0 documentation. You can read the Doockerfile at least, it’s not magic.

      I mean, I can understand why someone want to use HAOS and neber deal with such things, but if someone can set up HA in a container, the second and third container from there is not an unbelivably big step.

        https://hub.docker.com/r/hassioaddons/vscode-amd64

        https://hub.docker.com/r/hassioaddons/bookstack-amd64

        In fact, here are 347 containers with 0 documentation whatsoever:

        https://hub.docker.com/u/hassioaddons

        The point is that there are hassio addons which do not have any regular docker counterpart, and for the ones that do, there is little to no documentation that gets them actually integrated into the Home Assistant sidebar. They work as their own separate entities and can communicate, sure. Sometimes that is even more desired. What if I want ESPHome as an item in the home assistant sidebar? I have yet to find a guide on how to do that.

        How can you get the Home Assistant Google Drive Backup working in docker compose as another example? Extremely useful and only available in HAOS or supervised. Yes there are workarounds and other services, but they are workarounds and other services
