I have HA running in docker on a Pi 3 and Z-wave JS running in another on the same Pi. Added a purpleair integration for outdoor air quality, national weather service, some local sensors, and sql to get data from another node. People have made me paranoid about SD card failures, so I regularly image it to my main server. I mostly use HA to visualize environmental data, but it also runs the lights in a hydroponic farm and the house during vacations, via z-wave outlets. Have not tried to integrate it with google or amazon.
The only inconveniences I've found with docker is that you can't restart HA from its web interface and, if you update regularly, old images quickly fill a smaller card, so you have to remember to purge.
It's now possible to restart HA from the web interface. P
I pulled the latest HA version based on you comment in this old thread, and you're right! There is a restart button now. Thanks.
