* feat(portainer_be): add Portainer Business Edition add-on Adds a new `portainer_be` add-on based on the existing Portainer (CE) add-on, requested in #873. Business Edition has no public GitHub release tarball like CE, so the binary and web assets are pulled from the official multi-arch `portainer/portainer-ee` image via a multi-stage build and placed under /opt/portainer, mirroring CE's layout exactly. All runtime scripts, nginx/ingress config, options schema, SSL and password handling are unchanged from CE, so behaviour is identical apart from the edition. Users obtain a free (up to 3 nodes) Business Edition license key by registering with Portainer and enter it in the web UI on first launch. - config.yaml: slug portainer_be, BE image name, BE description/name - Dockerfile: multi-stage COPY from portainer/portainer-ee (no CE tarball) - updater.json: dockerhub source tracking portainer/portainer-ee - apparmor.txt: unique profile name (portainer_be_addon) - CHANGELOG/README/DOCS: BE-specific, documents the license-key step Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(portainer_be): address PR review feedback - nginx finish: move shebang to byte 0 (leading blank line prevented S6 from recognising the interpreter, so the finish hook could fail to tear down the supervision tree) [Codex P2] - ingress: tighten CSP to `frame-ancestors 'self'` to match the adjacent X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN; HA ingress embeds same-origin so the panel keeps working [CodeRabbit] - README: correct login note (password is the configured option value, never printed to logs); drop MD012 consecutive blank lines [CodeRabbit] - DOCS: fix "environement" -> "environment" typo [CodeRabbit] Skipped: nginx SSL "idempotency" finding — /etc/nginx lives in the read-only image layer and cont-init re-renders from the pristine template on every container start, so in-place sed edits never accumulate or need restoring. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * revert(portainer_be): keep CSP frame-ancestors * for ingress compatibility Reverts the frame-ancestors 'self' change from the previous commit. The wildcard is required for the Home Assistant ingress iframe to embed the Portainer UI; tightening it breaks the ingress panel. Matches the CE add-on.

Home assistant add-on: Portainer Business Edition
I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons
If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!
Addon informations
This is the Business Edition variant of the Portainer add-on. It ships the portainer/portainer-ee build instead of the Community Edition. Business Edition is free for up to 3 nodes with a license key you obtain by registering at https://www.portainer.io/take-3; enter that key in the web UI on first launch. Without a key it runs in a time-limited trial.
Forked from : https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-portainer Implemented changes : Business Edition image ; update to latest versions ; ingress ; ssl ; password setting through addon option ; allow manual override
