I'm getting this error message with trying to setup HACS in a docker-hosted HA, no idea what's causing the error. Thanks

#

What do the HA logs show? How did you install HACS?

#

What version of HA are you running?

#

Let me think for a second how I managed to get HACS to show up in the integrations, it took some work.

You should follow the official instructions

#

https://www.hacs.xyz/docs/use/

#

yes, this is correct. This is how I installed it.

#

but see its telling me it isn't compatible with docker version of ha

#

here is the error message "his redirect is not supported by your Home Assistant installation. It needs either the Home Assistant Operating System or Home Assistant Supervised installation method. For more information, see the documentation."

You're using the addon link, which doesn't apply to you

#

Use the container tab

#

i just saw that. sorry

#

I think this is what i did before but quick question: where is the terminal? Am I using the one in the docker container GUI, the NAS?

sweet pulsar Aug 31, 2025, 8:37 PM

#

Some terminal that allows you to navigate to you config directory

#

Such as ssh, or I think you can shell into the container itself

#

Usually the same place you start the container, but it sounds like you're using a GUI for that

#

I got it. I went into the terminal inside HA docker container and ran it there

#

damn yeah I'm still getting the same error.

#

it seems to be looking for this module

#

'custom_components.hacs.helpers.functions.configuration_schema'

#

100% of the time this is caused by an old version of HACS installed

#

You restarted HA?

lost tulip Aug 31, 2025, 8:44 PM

#

yea

#

OK let me put the terminal feedback in here. I think you're right its not getting the correct version maybe?

#

sweet pulsar Aug 31, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

You didn't run the command properly

#

Copy and paste it. Don't try to type it

lost tulip Aug 31, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

I did copy and paste it. I'm sorry this is getting a little beyond my knowledge. Thank you for working with me. Let me show you what I'm doing

#

#

I'm hitting OK and then its spitting out that string

#

ok let me start by running the bash command first per the instructions. I thought I didn't have to do that part because I was doing it inside the container

#

strange

#

I got it!

Yes, you definitely needed to follow all the instructions
