Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent experience with setting up Home Assistant on my Synology NAS using Docker. After losing everything due to an SD card corruption, I decided to go with a more reliable setup. The Synology NAS seemed like the perfect choice since it’s always on and has RAID protection.
However, I ran into some issues with the UI configuration. I installed HACS, but I’m missing the ‘frontend’ tab, which is essential for custom cards. I also tried installing different themes, but none of them seem to work. I noticed that I don’t have a ui-lovelace.yaml file, which is required for applying themes and custom cards.
Questions:
- Is the ‘frontend’ tab supposed to appear in HACS after installation?
- Do I need to manually add the ‘themes’ section to my
configuration.yamlfile? - How can I construct the
ui-lovelace.yamlfile if it’s missing?
I understand that the ui-lovelace.yaml file is automatically generated, but since it’s missing, I’m not sure how to proceed. I also tried manually editing the .storage/lovelace file, but that caused Home Assistant to crash.
If anyone has experience with this, I’d greatly appreciate any guidance or tips. Thanks in advance for your help!
