home-assistant (hass / homeassistant) image for Docker

This is a home-assistant image for Docker. Compared to the official image⁠, this image:

• Will get automatic security updates to base OS components (though not all the additional components home-assistant installs)
• Has proper support for certbot for free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, thanks to its proper support for cron
• Properly installs the hass tool (to /usr/local/bin)
• Runs as the hass user instead of root

This is a docker-debian-base⁠ image. Please see the important instructions at the docker-debian-base homepage for information on proper docker run paramaters. The timezone can be set through this system.

The home-assistant.io docker installation instructions⁠ mostly still apply as well. One other difference is that logging will be to /var/log/homeassistant instead of to /config and stdout.
