Back in 2021 I created a Home Assistant add-on for Portainer (Portainer CE v2.x) – as mentioned here. I finally got around to creating a Portainer BE version of the add-on today. Portainer make a 3 node business edition license available which is really cool, as there’s some nice features in BE that I was hoping to use.

Installation requires an additional repository to be added to Home Assistant. The repository URL is: https://github.com/MikeJMcGuire/HASSAddons. You still need to turn off protected mode (as it needs to manipulate the docker host on which it runs), and turn on the sidebar option. You’ll need to specify your license key when the add-on starts. If like me you were using my Portainer CE add-on already, you can use the Portainer CE user interface to download a backup of the Portainer configuration and then import it into Portainer BE when Portainer BE first starts.
