Add a user named hassio:

  • sudo useradd -r hassio
    Give it docker privileges:
  • sudo gpasswd -a hassio docker
    Make it owner of the home-assistant dir:
  • sudo chown -R hassio:hassio /opt/home-assistant

Put this in /etc/systemd/system/, run a systemctl daemon-reload, and you should be able to sudo service start home-assistant start

Run systemctl enable home-assistant to enable it automatically starting on every boot
