homebridge-config-ui-x VS docker-homebridge

There is already a report https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/issues/1912

I can't even search for plugins without getting a similar timeout error. I've tried everything in the Troubleshooting page, and the only thing that works at all is disabling ipv6 on my Eero Pro 6e network, which seems like a less desirable option. The Pro 6e doesn't have Homekit security features, and I don't have advanced security turned on. I've tried disabling ipv6 on the RPi and in Homebridge, but I'm only following random posts I find online, so I'm not even sure if I did that correctly. Sometimes I make a change and can no longer get into Homebridge through the portal, then I have to reinstall.

All these Terminal commands can be found here or in Terminal by typing

You should post a new enhancement issue to the repo

hb-service is part of the config-ui-x plug-in. You’ll need to install that first.

The UI has its own rest api

You should be able to remove specific accessories from displaying in Home via your homebridge, you can start homebridge in insecure mode: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Enabling-Accessory-Control which should enable you to control accessories.

According to the description the file paths should always be "homebridge", so at the moment both instances would interfere with each other when they both run (only one runs atm)...however, I could try to setup another homebridge instance and link that to another "homebridge" path in a sub-folder and see if that works. I'll give it a try.

Or just spin up a Docker container either one will do nicely

One physical PC is my "management" server. It's on my trusted VLAN/network. It hosts my wifi controller, homebridge, and scrypted and watchtower.

I recommend using the compose template straight from the source, to avoid issues like this in the future https://github.com/oznu/docker-homebridge
