Summary
In this chapter, we covered a very helpful topic, which is how you can create backups for Home Assistant using the Home Assistant operating system installation.
After learning how to do backups, we guided you through how to explore a new type of Home Assistant installation, which is the Home Assistant Container. We did that by using a pre-formatted installation tool called IOTStack. IOTStack is an open source project that not only includes Home Assistant Container installation but also many other types of software that can be used with IoT devices. In our case, it was used to install software to handle Home Automation applications.
We understood how the IOTStack architecture is configured, how to install container applications, and how to configure, use, and manage them.
In the next chapter, we will cover another hands-on project, which is a fun idea to support you during the festive holiday season. I hope you enjoy it!
