How does Ingress work for add-ons?

Ingress allows your add-on's web interface to be securely tunneled through the Home Assistant UI, eliminating the need for users to open extra ports on their firewall.

Why should I use official Home Assistant base images?

Official base images (ghcr.io/home-assistant) include essential components like S6-overlay for process management, bashio for configuration helpers, and specific environment variables for Supervisor integration.

How do I handle data persistence in my add-on?

You must store all persistent data within the /data/ directory. Using the bashio::addon::config_path helper ensures your data survives add-on updates and restarts.

What is a Home Assistant add-on?

An add-on is a Docker container managed by the Home Assistant Supervisor that provides additional functionality, services, or applications to your smart home system.

What is bashio and why is it important?

Bashio is a set of shell script helper functions provided by Home Assistant to simplify common tasks like reading user options, logging, and interacting with the Supervisor API.
