home-assistant-snap

Snap (Snapcraft.yaml) recipe for the Open source home automation software that puts local control and privacy first.

Current Home Assistant version: 0.90.1

Build

1. Clone the repo git clone https://git.giaever.org/joachimmg/home-assistant-snap.git.
2. Go into the directoy cd home-assistant-snap.
3. Check out the latest tag. The versioning is following the version of Home Assistant (e.g 0.90.1) plus a letter describing revision, e.g 0.90.1.b.
4. To compile the snap you can use two options:
   1. Make sure you have all necessary tools to build a snap, and issue the command snapcraft to build with multipass (VM).
   2. Run git submodule update --init to fetch the build module, then run the script ./lddbuild/lxcbuild to build with a LXD container, which will install all necessary tools in the container and pull the built snap to the host system. This is the preferred method during development of this recipe. The container can be deleted with lxc stop home-assistant-snap && lxc delete home-assistant-snap.
