I wanted to have direct 3.5mm pulse audio from Home Assistant container via the host with 3,5mm jack.
I added the following code in the docker-compose:
homeassistant:
build: /home/docker-compose/homeassistant-custom
restart: always
volumes:
- /dev:/dev
- /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
- ~/.config/pulse/cookie:/root/.config/pulse/cookie
- /run/user/1000/pulse:/run/user/1000/pulse
- /var/run:/var/run
- /run/dbus/:/run/dbus/:rw
- /dev/shm:/dev/shm
environment:
- PULSE_SERVER=/run/user/1000/pulse/native
- PULSE_COOKIE=/root/.config/pulse/cookie
devices:
- /dev/snd:/dev/sndThis code is added on top of your normal docker-compose lines. Furthermore i created the home-assistant-custom dir and add the following in dockerfile
FROM homeassistant/home-assistant:latest
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y vlc-nox apt-utils alsa-utils nano pulseaudio && \
usermod -a -G audio root && \
usermod -a -G pulse-access rootNow you can get TTS pulse audio from HA, just add a media_player:
media_player:
- platform: vlc
name: speaker_1
arguments: '--alsa-audio-device=hw:0,0'And use it in a script or automation.
Thanks for sharing that! Its exactly what I’m trying to do. I installed hassio on a generic Ubuntu-machine and everything works great using Frenck’s script. Where do I find the docker-compose file and where did you create the hoem-assistant-custom-dir?
Thanks for helping me out!

Please read docs to use custom docker containers with a dockerfile and Docker Compose. Then you can use my Docker Compose file. In the meantime i migrated to Google tts and not using this any more.
