page Installation on Docker Instructions to install Home Assistant on a Docker. 2016-04-16 11:36 true false true true

Installation with Docker is straightforward. Adjust the following command so that /path/to/your/config/ points at the folder where you want to store your config and run it:

$ docker run -d --name="home-assistant" -v /path/to/your/config:/config -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant

This will launch Home Assistant and serve the web interface from port 8123 on your Docker host.

When using boot2docker on OS X you are unable to map the local time to your Docker container. Replace `-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro` with `-e "TZ=America/Los_Angeles"` (replacing America/Los_Angeles with [your timezone](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones))

If you change the config you have to restart the server. To do that you have 2 options.

  1. You can go to the service developer tool icon service developer tools, select the service homeassistant/restart and click "Call Service".
  2. Or you can restart it from an terminal by running docker restart home-assistant
