The Home Assistant Management Tool is something I built for my personal use, but can easily be modified to suite different setups. Adjust the variables to your settings and setup shared SSH keys (if desired). Probably a million other more efficient ways to do this, but it has worked out so far for me. I had a previous version that I was using before converting to a Docker based installation. That one works with a more traditional installation. You can check out that version here

Overview:

• Bash Shell script, should work anywhere you can use Bash
• All HA configs are stored on my local workstation within Dropbox (doesn’t have to be but I like the versioning and access to it from any machine).
• Edit locally with Text Editor. Currently using Visual Studio Code and VIM

Options:

1. Deploy Home Assistant Configs
   • Creates tar file of current configs
   • Backs up tar file to local workstation (I use a Dropbox Folder)
   • rsyncs config directory from local workstation (Dropbox Folder)
2. Restart Home Assistant
   • Restarts the Home Assistant Docker container, thus restarting Home Assistant
3. Stop Home Assistant
   • Stops the Home Assistant Docker Container
4. Start Home Assistant
   • Starts the Home Assistant Docker Container
5. Upgrade Home Assistant
   • Does a docker pull for the latest version of Home Assistant
   • Stops the Home Assistant Docker Container
   • Deletes the Home Assistant Docker Container
   • Creates a new Home Assistant Docker Container
6. Check Database Size
   • Check the size of the MySQL Database
7. Validate Home Assistant Config
   • Runs a config check using a Docker Container
8. Backup Home Assistant
   • Creates tar file of current configs
   • Backs up tar file to local workstation (Dropbox Folder)
9. Copy Configs to GitHub
   • Copy’s current config to local workstation Github, scrubs any data that is listed in redacted.txt using ha-github-scrub.sh.
10. Renew SSL Certificate
    • Runs a certbot (Let's Encrypt) Docker container that generates a new SSL certificate

x) Exit – I shouldn’t need to explain that one

Variables:

hauser=“USER_ACCOUNT” <-- Home Assistant User Account

habin="/usr/local/bin/hass" <-- Home Assistant Binary

haconfigdir="/home/USER/.homeassistant" <-- Home Assistant Config Directory

hahost=“HOSTNAME/IP” <-- Home Assistant Hostname or IP address

localuser=“USER_ACCOUNT” <-- Local Computer Username, account from where this shell script will run

localhost=“HOSTNAME/IP” <-- Local Computer Hostname or IP address

localpath=“PATH_TO_LOCAL_HA_CONFIGS” <-- Where I store my local HA configs and backups

docker="/PATH/TO/DOCKER/bin " <-- Docker Binary

Within the local folder, variable localpath="PATH_TO_LOCAL_HA_CONFIGS", I have two folders:

Config: All of the .yaml files for Home Assistant

Backup: Place for backup tar file
