Use of HAOS add-ons without the Add-On Store | Home Assistant | Page 1

I'm running HA in a Docker container, and I'm wondering if it's possible to install some features that are normally only available via HAOS.

I don't mind doing manual installs and updates. I don't mind how individual add-ons are installed, whether they are packages or docker images.

One Add-On that comes to mind is the Steam addon, which doesn't require any hardware.

Can this be done? Is there any information or resource avialable?

Use Docker containers of those software packages.
You will have to manage it yourself and it will not be that seamlessly integrated in HA.

Thanks, and I understand what you're saying about the integration.
Is there a resource that lists all the Addons in the Add-On store that points to their respective repos etc?

You can look at the code in the GitHub repos:
https://github.com/home-assistant/addons
https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository

It might be a bit of work to track down the dockerfiles.

Understand, but you've given me a starting point.
