Home Assistant Continuous Integration Workflow 2024

Overview

A minor tweak to the Home Assistant CI/CD pipeline worth mentioning. The deployment process now replaces public call to a webhook to a VPN based solution. This comes in the form of Tailscale who also provide an example github action step to integration Tailscale into your Github pipeline.

The changes in the YAML Github action file was minimal. Get and store an auth key, add a step to establish the Tailscale connection and change the Home Assistant domain name to the internal Tailscale FQDN or IP address. Job done.

The updated Github Action file can be found here.

Summary

The implementation was so quick and easy. The fact Tailscale provides their own example shows their use case for their technology extremely well.
