Rationale:
The advantage of this solution as opposed to run home assistant natively
on your machine: you only need git and docker installed, it won't clutter your linux
installation.
It runs on raspberry and PC (and probably also on Mac)
git clone https://github.com/ludwigprager/home-assistant-in-container.git
./home-assistant-in-container/start.sh
You need to install docker and git, nothing else. So the advantage is that you won't clutter your installation.
FYI: I run home assistant with a sonoff zigbee stick.
