    Ingress

    A way for an app to show its web interface inside Home Assistant, behind the Home Assistant login, without opening a port.

    In code
    ingressingress_portingress_panel

    An app turns it on with ingress: true in its configuration, and serves its web interface on the ingress port, 8099 unless it sets another one. The Supervisor passes the requests on to the app, only for users who are logged in to Home Assistant. With ingress_panel, the app also gets its own panel in the sidebar. See Add a web interface with ingress.
