Home assistant add-on: Portainer_agent

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!

About

The Portainer Agent is a workaround for a Docker API limitation when using the Docker API to manage a Docker environment. The user interactions with specific resources (containers, networks, volumes and images) are limited to those available on the node targeted by the Docker API request.

This container is based on the official docker image (https://github.com/portainer/agent) and modified using @homecentr logic (https://github.com/homecentr/docker-portainer-agent) to use in the homeassistant base images.

WARNING

The portainer_agent add-on is really powerful and gives you virtually access to your whole system. While this add-on is created and maintained with care and with security in mind, in the wrong or inexperienced hands, it could damage your system.

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other add-on.

  1. Add my add-ons repository to your home assistant instance (in supervisor addons store at top right, or click button below if you have configured my HA) Open your Home Assistant instance and show the add add-on repository dialog with a specific repository URL pre-filled.
  2. Install this add-on.
  3. Click the Save button to store your configuration.
  4. Set the add-on options to your preferences
  5. Start the add-on.
  6. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
  7. Open the webUI and adapt the software options

Instructions (thanks @Mincka) : Disable protection mode, then from the other Portainer cluster, add a new environment of type "Agent" with the IP address of HA and port 9001
