Docker and Home Automation

I think it so - it could be very useful, wouldn't it?

See, I'm not a "Linux" guy, and a lot of HE users I think are not too, so, having an easy way of installing "companion" services on a RPi would be a really nice addition to HE itself.

One of my worries was on how to manage Docker images - install, update, remove, configure and so on - so it could be easy for a Linux newbie - like me! - to work with Docker images. But I saw a comment in one of the posts here that there is already something available to do that: Portainer! It seems to be perfect for that.

One of the feasible and I believe easy to implement Docker images would be:

It would solve the problem that so many HE users talk about: getting HE backups out of the HE itself, periodically and automatically.

What I'd like to do is to get the attention of someone versed in Docker and take the lead on this. I hope I'll do.
