    I think the wording is off.

    Many or most add-ons need their own docker containers, that is what the add-ons are.

    Every integration does not need its own docker container.

      Well, the thing is, you don’t need add ons when running in Docker.

        There are a few add-ons that are very handy that don’t have a docker equivalent. Namely the google cloud backup.

        I also agree that you generally don’t need add-ons and hopefully if someone is running HA on docker, they don’t need them, but for a few select ones, it is “needed”
