Home Assistant applications

A media stack your Home Assistant can install.

A media, download and automation stack, packaged as Home Assistant applications — add-ons, if your Home Assistant still calls them that. Built for aarch64 and amd64, and kept in step with their upstream projects automatically.

Applications
Packaging

Two architectures, one image name

Each application publishes a multi-architecture image to ghcr.io/kanso-labs/home-assistant-application-<slug>, covering aarch64 and amd64.

As little mapped as possible

An application is given write access only where it actually writes. Radarr and Sonarr get /media and /share, because moving and renaming files is their job. Prowlarr manages indexer definitions and gets neither, even though its upstream packaging maps both.

Cold backups where the state is a database

Most of these keep their settings in SQLite, so Home Assistant stops them for the duration of a backup. Copying a database while it is being written produces a backup that will not restore.

Updates that arrive

Renovate watches each upstream project's releases, release-please cuts a version, and Home Assistant offers the update. The arr applications' own updaters are switched off deliberately — they would announce a new version and then refuse to install it — so this packaging is the one route in.
