I love my smart house, but I also self host Home Assistant and nothing that I rely on uses a cloud provider.
It’s really nice having motion activated and time based colored lights, and I don’t have to worry about the privacy or connectivity concerns from the majority of Internet of Shit products.
As long as you have your config files and whatever data from the app (both should be mapped from the container to the host), just copy it to the new system and start your container.
I have all my config files on my nas, but too many of my apps run off dbs so I need to figure out a way to backup the local database folder so I can have the actual data on my nas as well as just the configs.
