The `advertise_ip` option can be used to run this integration even inside an ephemeral Docker container with network isolation enabled, e.g., not using the host network.
You may also need to set `zeroconf_default_interface` to `true`.
To use `advertise_ip`, add the option to your `homekit` configuration:
```yaml
homekit:
advertise_ip: "STATIC_IP_OF_YOUR_DOCKER_HOST"
zeroconf_default_interface: true
```
Restart your Home Assistant instance. This feature requires running an mDNS forwarder on your Docker host, e.g., `avahi-daemon` in reflector mode. This kind of setup most likely requires `safe_mode` during the bridge setup.
