It's literally the same thing as running the app from base repo. There is no "fuckery". The entrypoint of a container is the same as just running the python runtimes for any project. You have zero idea what you're talking about.
No it’s not and yes I do you goober. How are dependencies handled in each scenario?
pip install for both. Apparently you are new to 'puters. Go play elsewhere.
Why are you running pipinstall when using a docker container?… Or are you talking about manually creating your own container?
Read the dockerfile. Do you know how any of this works?
Why exactly are you comparing the docker file to bare metal, and implying you need to do more than run a docker command?
You don’t install anything when using docker (beyond docker of course.)
If you watch your process monitor...
Dudebro, I write software and run servers for a living. Admittedly I don’t work with python, but I have developed web applications that run both on bare metal and in docker containers and I’m telling you that the amount of fuckery required to spin up anything on bare metal will 99% of the time be more than what’s needed to spin up the same application in a container. The end result will be more brittle and more likely to conflict with other software on the same machine.
Also, sure it’s not hard to install HASS in a pyenv now, because the dev team specifically ensured it. Maybe that requires tradeoffs that they don’t want to make anymore?
Seriously quit being a dick to people in niche software communities, it’s pathetic
