Running in dockerized home assistant (ha core) #26

Hi Rasmus,

I find your software very interesting and would like to use it. However, I run my home assistant on a k8s cluster - so I don't have a supervisord and certainly no HA-OS. I see that you have a Dockerfile in your repository - so I could easily build a container image. As far as I can see your software consists of a server component and a vue.js frontend. What I need to know: how does the integration into a HA core happen when the server is running? Gruß Volker

Hi, you're correct. You need a mqtt server that talks with your HA and the plugin in question. You don't have to run it with a supervisor, just give both HA and the plugin correct credentials to talk with each other.

Yes, I get it. And connecting your software to MQTT is no problem at all!

The question is: how can your frontend be integrated into home assistant?
