Manage your HA Docker host from Dockhand (new add-on for Hawser)
If you haven't run into it yet, Dockhand is a free, self-hostable alternative to Portainer that's been quietly picking up over the last few months. Cleaner UI, proper Compose stack support, the usual container/volume/network management — worth a look if you've been on Portainer for a while.
To manage a host with it you run a small agent called Hawser. On a normal Linux box you drop a systemd unit, but on HAOS that's not really an option, so I packaged it as a Supervisor add-on:
It runs the official Hawser binary (no fork), downloads it on first start with SHA256 verification, and caches it on /data so the image stays small. Supports both Edge mode (HA dials out — best behind NAT) and Standard mode (HA listens on a port). amd64, aarch64, armv7.
Install via Settings → Add-ons → Add-on Store → ⋮ → Repositories → paste the repo URL (or click the badge in the readme). One thing to know: you have to turn Protection mode off on the add-on so it can reach the host Docker socket — without it, Dockhand sees the agent but every Docker call fails silently.
Once it's connected, the HA host shows up like any other host in Dockhand — logs, restarts, exec into containers, Compose deploys, all from the dashboard. Feedback / issues / PRs welcome.
