Add installation instructions for Home Assistant (OS, on Raspberry Pi) or even let it install as addon

[tloebhard]

Hi,

I'm running SolvisSmartHomeServer on Home Assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi 5 since a year as addon, it works very well and maybe someone else wants to let it run in Home Assistant.

After you know how to make an addon - it's quite easy:

Next to SolvisSmartHomeServer.jar and base.xml you need following files:

config.yaml

name: "SolvisSmartHomeServer"
description: "https://github.com/GollmerSt/SolvisSmartHomeServer"
version: "1.0.2"
slug: "solvis_smart_home_server"
init: false
arch:
  - aarch64
  - amd64
  - armhf
  - armv7
  - i386

Dockerfile

ARG BUILD_FROM
FROM $BUILD_FROM

# install openjdk
RUN apk add openjdk11

# Copy data for add-on
COPY run.sh /
RUN chmod a+x /run.sh

COPY SolvisSmartHomeServer.jar /
COPY base.xml /

CMD [ "/run.sh" ]

run.sh

#!/usr/bin/with-contenv bashio

echo "Starting SolvisSmartHomeServer"

java -jar SolvisSmartHomeServer.jar

...and put all the five files in /addons/solvis_smart_home_server. Then you can install it from "Local add-ons" on "Add-on Store" in Home Assistant.

Maybe this repository could also be made to a Home Assistant Addon repository - but I'm currently not into that. And you could also let Home Assistant generate your base.xml using the GUI configuration of an addon - but for me it was fine doing it in the file, as you usually just once set the settings.

Have fun - and thank you for that great Solvis interface!
