Setting Up DuckDNS in Home-Assistant.IO

This quick tutorial lets you walkthrough how to setup the DuckDNS in your Home Assistant.IO.

I am using Home Assistant.IO installed on my Raspberry Pi 4 sitting at my home and I would like to access my Home Assistant portal remotely when I am away from home. With DuckDNS, I can access your Home Assistant remotely.

DuckDNS Setup

Go to www.duckdns.org and logon using your preferred credential method. Once you logged on, add a domain and take note the token information. We will be using this token to configure the DuckDNS in Home Assistant.

Also take note the domain information you created (e.g., https://myhomeassistant.duckdns.org). You will be using this information to access the Home Assistant remotely.

Install DuckDNS

Go to Supervisor and Add-on Store and search for Duck DNS.

After you have installed, go to Configuration.
