Help needed with portainer on Hass.io

[The-May]

Hi,

I tried running a docker container with portainer inside Home Assistant (Hass.io). Unfortunately I cannot get it running because I cannot implement my customized config.json at all. I'm a very beginner though and despite the official docs how to do this are pretty confusing and/or do not help me at all unfortunately. I would really appreciate a (maybe step by step?) help so I could contribute a further detailed instruction for the beginners that struggled like me. Thanks in advance.

Sounds familiar... The installation in HA by using Portainer is slightly different than a regular docker install.

In short;

• Create a config file in /share/ICantBelieveItsNotValetudo/config.json with your settings
• Install Portainer
• Add new ICantBelieveItsNotValetudo container
• Forward port (3000:3000) in the Manual network port publishing setting
• Map container json: Advanced container settings -> volumes -> Container: Path in container: /app/config.json and select bind option; Host: /mnt/data/supervisor/share/ICantBelieveItsNotValetudo/config.json and I think read-only will do.

Let me know if this helped. Maybe it's good to add the HomeAssistant path to installation notes as its slightly different than just /share/...

Hey randy993,

thanks for the help. Unfortunately I coult not get it running.

I am goint to sum up what I did:

1. Created Volume with a name:

The Volume has following details:

2. Then I Created the Container with the parameters that I could figure out:

An SMB directory gets created automatically in the \share folder of my Home assistant Directory:

3. I am adding my Credentials to the config.json file and I add them in this newly created folder

4. I check the logs and I get following error:

> i-cant-believe-its-not-valetudo@0.2.0 start /app,
> node app.js,

I guess the config.json file is somehow wrongly mapped but I cannot figure out what is wrong. Do you maybe know what the Issue might be?

Here is another Picture of my Host (which could also help)

Thanks in advance
