Run the container to set up the local filesystem.
Modify the created config file, in config/configuration.yaml to allow the traefik proxy, or generally everything on the local network. NOTE: Traefik breaks homeassistant, needs to be over local network for now.

# Configure HTTP settings
http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 192.168.96.0/24

Optionally, set the log level

# Configure logging
logger:
  default: debug
  logs:
    homeassistant.core: debug
    homeassistant.components: info
    homeassistant.components.mqtt: debug

Note these snippets should go above the automation line.
docker compose down && docker system prune -f && docker compose build && docker compose up -d && docker logs -f homeassistant

Home Assistant Setup

Set up devices/smart lights according to manufacturer instructions to get them on the local network.
Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration
For my WiZ light, the automatic scan did not find it. I had to manually use nmap to find it on the network and enter the IP.

nmap -sn 192.168.1.xxx/24 (adjust for your local network)

Home Assistant configuration

Automation

Navigate to Settings > Automations & Scenes > Create Automation
Configure based on time, location, or other triggers.

Issues

Bad Proxy

2025-03-15 09:13:37.969 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.forwarded] Received X-Forwarded-For header from an untrusted proxy 172.18.0.2

Homeassistant container is receiving request from the docker proxy network, which it doesn't know about. Add the local proxy so that the container knows that it is ok.

  trusted_proxies:
