# home-assistant-config
🏠 Home Assistant configuration & Documentation for my Smart House.
## Linux post installation
Install Docker
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
Note: do the post install to be able to run docker without sudo.
Install Docker Compose
https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
Install git
```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
```
Verify git is installed:
```bash
git --version
```
## Configuration folder
First of all we need a folder to wrap Home Assistant files, in my personal case I started to create a folder in my home account called `homeassistant` and a subfolder called `config`, now you don't need a subfolder you can have a root folder if you want and I'll moe all my files ASAP to this config:
```bash
# home/my_user/
> mkdir homeassistant
```
If you create also a `config` folder and want to share also the file `compose.yml` you can have all in the same folder and use a symlink if you want for running the container from outside.
```bash
# home/my_user/homeassistant
> ls -s config/compose.yaml compose.yaml
```
## Secret.yaml
Move `secrets.yaml` to a different folder, in my case up to one level
```bash
# ~/homeassistant/config$
mv secrets.yaml ../secrets.yaml
```
Than add a symlink to this file
```bash
# ~/homeassistant/config$
ln -s ../secrets.yaml secrets.yaml
```
Why this position for the secret.yaml file?
Now, this is optional, you do not need this if you already have the file secrets.yaml excluded in `.gitignore` but to have a more level of security I moved this file to another folder and create a symlink https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/secrets/
