HOOBS is a self-hosted Homebridge wrapper with a web interface for managing configuration, plugins, and an API. It is a standalone parent application, not a Homebridge plugin, that keeps plugins in a local scope instead of the global Node.js scope. It is useful for homelab users who want a contained Homebridge deployment with easier plugin management. For container deployments, set the network type to Host and change the port to a non-default value such as 8082.
