To get HACS installed I followed the instructions at:
https://lazyadmin.nl/smart-home/install-hacs-home-assistan/
But HA couldn't see it to add. So I decided to launch HA using composer on my laptop rather that the CLI "docker run" command.
But first I will relearn docker CLI by watching this video..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQdB7wFEygo&t=48s
Gave up and used the CLI to restart HA..

So next to see if it can see HACS now.. Nope!
Lets go through these steps..
https://www.simplysmart.house/blog/how-to-install-HACS-on-home-assistant-Docker
That worked when I followed the instructions to a tee include Github sign on :)
Now to add some HACS stuff! Such as "local tuya"
But cannot access https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi/blob/master/docs/SETUP.md
page at present! Huh?

I tried on a Raspberry Pi first after being excited by watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhJIycywIA0&t=133s
but it failed to find an image for that architecture:
pi@tarbh:~/HomeAssistant $ cat compose.yaml

So next I thought I'd try it on my Linux Mint Laptop..

So success! It did take an age on onboard after I created a user account at localhost:8123 and eventually hanged.
But eventually I could login in and access at in another tab at: http://192.168.1.193:8123 event while the first tab was hung :)
Here's how it looks now..
So next to get HACS on it.
