About the HACS module

[Napoleon-BlownApart]

Thanks for the nice HA w/ Node-RED video. I have a couple questions and a point I would like to make. I tried posting in the video's comments, but they were disappearing.

1. Some of those commenting on the video had a permission problem when trying to start the Node-RED container. I had the same issue though I use Portainer instead of docker-compose. After some searching and help from the Node-RED community, the reason for the problem is that the host's folder that binds to the container's /data folder must be owned by UID = 1000. So, if you're on a Raspberry Pi, you would probably use chown pi:pi <folder>. https://discourse.nodered.org/t/docker-portainer-gives-error-eacces-permission-denied-copyfile-data-settings-js/51797

2. I noticed you have the HACS module installed. I installed it in my HA instance, but I can't find it anywhere in my control panel. Could you briefly explain how you set this up or share a link? (Edit: I managed to install HACS and, after waiting for ages to receive all the git repo stuff, was able to install Node-RED Companion and then install it as an integration in HA as well. However, if you can, I think it would be useful for others if you outlined the necessary steps to do this. I found the process quite confusing and I'm not sure if I could replicate it a second time more smoothly than my first.)

3. I don't have a file called panel_iframe.yaml in my Home Assistant Core, thus I am unable to add things to the side-panel. Could you explain how you were able to set this up or share a link? (Edit: I found iframe Panel, which seems to do the same thing, but it's configured through configuration.yaml. I'm guessing you have this as a sub-file of the main config.)

4. Where did you get the icon si:node-red? (Edit: *Found it at: https://github.com/vigonotion/hass-simpleicons *)

You most likely are already aware of the Home Assistant Discord, but in any case, here is their invite link: https://discord.gg/QdutUksG

Cheers, Nap.
