# matter-server — the Matter controller for Home Assistant, on esh-matter (CT 111 # on esh-pve, whose ONLY network leg is VLAN 90 / esh-iot, 10.0.90.20). # Requested by ha-dev, operator-approved 2026-09-26. # # matter.js server (matter-js/matterjs-server), the drop-in successor to # python-matter-server that HA has used since 2026.2. Same websocket API on # :5580/ws. Pinned: 1.4.0 (stable, 2026-08-07) by digest. # # host networking is REQUIRED: Matter is IPv6 link-local and mDNS. The server must # see eth0's Thread ULA and the border routers' RAs directly. # # ⚠ :5580 (websocket + dashboard) is UNAUTHENTICATED. The CT's nftables admits it # only from HA at 10.0.50.46 (playbooks/esh-matter-lxc.yaml). # ⚠ /data holds the Matter fabric ROOT CREDENTIALS. Losing it means re-commissioning # every device. The whole CT is in esh-pve's vzdump job (PBS-ANA → PBS-NH3). Never # put it in git. name: matter-server services: matter-server: image: ${MATTER_IMAGE} container_name: matter-server restart: unless-stopped network_mode: host volumes: - /opt/docker/data/matter-server:/data environment: - STORAGE_PATH=/data - PRIMARY_INTERFACE=eth0 - TZ=America/Los_Angeles - LOG_LEVEL=${MATTER_LOG_LEVEL:-info}
