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 the script ./bin/lxdbuild to build with a LXD container, which will install all necessary tools and remove them after completion. This is the preferred method during development of this recipe.
