In this thread we can discuss running Homey Self-Hosted Server with Docker on Linux.
Installation
Learn how to Install Homey Self-Hosted Server with Docker on Linux.
Known Limitations
None at this moment.
I get “Network request failed” when the app tries to connect to the server. (Android app, Linux Mint/debian) in docker container running host network – as specified in instructions.
Anywhere we can see more debug info maybe?
Works like a charm, Emile.
Old HP Elitedesk 800 8GB RAM, Debian13
I also had that, just wait a few minutes and add it again (Add Homey → Homey SHS)
@homey I’m running Ubuntu on an intel MacBook pro with 16gb or ram. I was wondering if the 8gb memory of SHS can be increased ?
Why is it needed to run the container in privileged mode?

Seems it autodetected the instance using something that looked like IPv6 that didn’t work.
Manual IP entry of the IPv4 (it showed as example) did work!
How can I restore my Homey pro backup on the Self-Hosted Server?
I am wondering the same. For now, I’ve not enabled privileged mode. Homey SHS appears to be working as expected for now. This includes a setup with:
- Homey Bridge
- a few Zigbee devices
- a Hue Pro Bridge
- some virtual devices using Device Capabilities app
- MQTT Broker & Client
- Modbus
- a few flows to update the virtual devices from MQTT and Modbus
- …
The only area where I’m seeing that something is not working is in memory use. All apps are reported as using 0 bytes (web interface) or null bytes (iOS app). For me this is not critical as I can check the memory use of the individual apps in the Container Manager on Synology.
HI,
Is there a future tutorial for installation onto ZimaOs , or better, an integration of Homy in the appstore of Zima ?
this would be great 
Sure, add RAM capacity (which is impossible with apple hardware when I’m right?)
Watch this NAS, it provided SHS with 20+ GB…
Your macbook doensn’t seem to allow more than 8GB for some reason.
But I wonder why? You can run 150 - 200 apps on 8GB…
(I know, I know, when purchasing my first PC back in the early 90s, I opted for 8MB RAM instead of the standard 4MB’s. With 8MB I was future proof!
Yes, MB, not GB

love that NAS
I thought there’s a way to tweak the docker container.
I know what you mean about those 8gb, but I am freaking out thinking how fast I filled the 4gb on my HP23. I might have some flows that are leaking
Are you running Ubuntu on bare metal, or inside a virtual machine or something? It seems strange that Docker would impose a memory limit to any container when running the OS on bare metal (however, if you run Docker on macOS, it will run inside a virtual machine that is, by default, limited to using 50% of available RAM, but that’s configurable).
Ubuntu on bare metal. No VM. That’s why I found it strange
Docker will (at least by default) not limit the amount of memory used by a container, and I don’t think it’s even possible for an image to configure a limit, so it seems there’s something local to your system that’s causing this limitation.
Thank you, @robertklep
I’ll dig deeper.
works perfectly 
Oh @burrikido I just found this great remark by Robert:
So the % of RAM should be configurable
