Relative URLs in the config

[filmgarage]

I run AppDaemon on docker together with the installation of Home Assistant on another docker container.

For the two to work together I have to 'hard code' the IP number for my HA instance:

---
secrets: /config/secrets.yaml
appdaemon:
  latitude: 12
  longitude: 5
  elevation: 69
  time_zone: Europe/Paris
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: http://192.1681.25:8123
      token: !secret appdaemontoken
http:
  url: http://127.0.0.1:5050
admin:
api:
hadashboard:
  dash_url: http://192.168.1.25:5050

Is it possible to put some "relative" links in stead of the fixed IP addresses?

localhost does not seem to work...

Maybe I can put poll the local IP with home assistant and use that sensor to provide the IP address? I need this to be able to take the machine around to other locations without resetting this address all the time.

I don’t run my setup like this but I know if multiple docker instances are running on the same docker network, you can access docker containers internally by their name. You may want to experiment with that.

Cool!

That sounds like a viable option!

After some reading: AppDaemon configuration using the Home Assistant Add-on file does not require the IP address to be set in the config file!

https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-appdaemon/blob/main/appdaemon/DOCS.md#home-assistant-access-tokens-and-ha_url-settings

So I do not even have to set up relative URL's!

Consider this solved and perhaps keep this topic open as a tip for future reference...
