Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.

Requires ocijail with annotation support (≥ 0.6.0)

This image needs the jail permission allow.raw_sockets, applied via OCI annotations. FreeBSD quarterly ships ocijail 0.4.0, which has no annotation support — the container starts but the permission is silently dropped, so the app can crash or misbehave. Point your pkg repos at the latest branch (ocijail ≥ 0.6.0) and run with the annotation flag shown below. See the ocijail guide.
Registry ghcr.io/daemonless/home-assistant
Daemonless daemonless/home-assistant
