2.3  update Home Assistant Docker Via Docker Compose

However, this could be a little easier using a compose.yaml file (which holds all the details of the last command) and would look like:

services:
  homeassistant:
    container_name: homeassistant
    image: ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
    volumes:
      - etc/homeassistant:/config
    network_mode: host
    privileged: true
    restart: always

then, your commands would be reduced to:

docker compose pull

and

docker compose up -d

 

2.4 Update Home Assistant Docker Via Portainer

I really recommend looking into and installing Portainer. It is installed in a docker container as well and simplifies a lot of things you normally do with docker.

For example, to update home assistant all I do is open the container in Portainer and click on ‘recreate’. there is a check box there asking if you want to pull the latest image. then click recreate.

it will download the latest image, stop the container and restart the container using that image.

 

You can delete any images that are tagged unused.
