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 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!:+1:

How can I restore my Homey pro backup on the Self-Hosted Server?

[image] Migration of devices from Homey (Pro) to Homey Self-Hosted Server Homey Self-Hosted Server At this time, there’s no way to transfer your settings. Maybe in the future we’ll consider bringing the optional paid backups service to Homey Self-Hosted Server.

[image] ThunderStone: Why is it needed to run the container in privileged mode? 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 ?

[image] burrikido: MacBook pro with 16gb or ram. I was wondering if the 8gb memory of SHS can be increased ? Sure, add RAM capacity (which is impossible with apple hardware when I’m right?) Watch this NAS, it provided SHS with 20+ GB… [image]SHS Server [image] 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 :laughing:
