Configuration questions - no players found #1511

Hey all. I'm having some issues setting this up. I'm currently running HomeAssistant and Music Assistant Server through Docker on a Synology NAS. In order to get to the MA web interface, I had to map 8095 to 8096 explicitly in Docker. However, in the MA interface, I have no players (I'm expecting at least two chromecast players). I've also troubleshooted a bit to see if network discovery was the problem; I've made sure that "External Access Enabled" shows in Setting > System > Network in HomeAssistant. I found this referenced in the FAQ.
However, I don't seem to have this menu in MusicAssistant if I'm supposed to. It feels like the right idea to be able to manually specify the HA location, but I'm unsure how to do that. MusicAssistant's server settings menu have an "X" for "HomeAssistant Addon" so I'm guessing MA isn't talking to HA properly. My only settings are "Providers" "Players" and "Core"; I don't seem to be able to change anything in "Core." Any thoughts of what I could do? |

Oops, that documentation is really outdated and more pointed at Music Assistant V2 while you have the V2 beta installed, we should update it. If you are going to host the Music Assistant Server yourself in Docker you will need to make sure to enable host networking, just some port mappings is not going to work at all. |

Good to know! Unfortunately, I can't seem to get back to the interface while creating a new container in host networking mode. This is my console output. I've tried creating a new container, new container with a new data directory, etc.

I'm afraid you run into the limitations of using a NAS as docker host. Looks like some networking stack issues now.
Can't you just run Home Assistant OS on some dedicated pi or something or worst case in a VM ?
I've seen the strangest issues with using Synology as docker host, mainly because its underlying OS has all kind of missing features. In the end it is a NAS, not a server OS.
