FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Home Assistant add-on from an existing GitHub repository?▼

Home Assistant add-on creation from a GitHub repository is automated through discovery-driven scaffolding, analyzing the project to generate an add-on skeleton with minimal manual steps. It guides the workflow from initial discovery through deployment configuration.

What is needed in a Home Assistant add-on config.yaml file?▼

A Home Assistant add-on config.yaml requires structured metadata including architecture, ports, volumes, and translations. This skill provides config guidance and templating to generate these validated fields and documentation stubs based on discovered repository data.

Can I use Docker and docker-compose files when building a Home Assistant add-on?▼

Docker and docker-compose files can be used when building Home Assistant add-ons. This skill orchestrates optional file collection, validating and organizing artifacts like Dockerfiles and docker-compose configurations to ensure compatibility within the Supervisor ecosystem.

Do I need Docker and git installed to scaffold Home Assistant add-ons?▼

Docker and git are required dependencies, along with curl, jq, and tar, to scaffold Home Assistant add-ons. These tools are necessary for the skill to execute repository discovery, analyze Docker images, and perform file extraction operations.

What is the best way to wrap an existing application into a Home Assistant add-on?▼

The best way to wrap an existing application into a Home Assistant add-on is through discovery-driven scaffolding, which analyzes the Docker image or repository to generate a validated add-on skeleton. This approach produces proper config.yaml metadata and documentation stubs for the Supervisor ecosystem.
