!!!WARNING!!! DO NOT DELETE CREATED CONTAINERS

This installer will create the base homeassistant container for you, but if you delete if (docker rm or docker prune) the supervisor will not be able to re-create it for you. Hass.io is a Eco System and Container Orchastrator they don't support manual adjustments.

If you wish to still safelly use docker containers prune you might want to add the --filter flag to your command.

Example:

$ docker container prune --filter label!=homeassistant

or, for a greater peace of mind, you can add the following config to your ~/.docker/config.json:

{
  "pruneFilters": ["label!=homeassistant", "label!=hassio_supervisor", "label!=addon*"]
}
