My HA install was on a Synology and in Docker, with a UPS so power outages weren’t a things. However the lack of WAN occurred a few times. It didn’t ever cause trouble, no matter what order it started up. What was the issue it caused for you?

The docker Synology setup is very good in my experience. When an update is available for HA you can just clear the container and start it again, provided you have correctly mounted the volumes.

I even got my Zigbee USB Stick working, you just gotta start the container once via the terminal on the synology and then I can clear it later to update it etc.

I don't know the exact problem but have have noticed that whenever router(with dhcp) starts after the home assistant. HA doesn't get's an IP and thus it's not accessible ever after waiting for 5-10min. Also, that it not always the case sometimes it works(and I don't know how).

Oh that makes more sense. It sounds like you have moved away from it but a static IP on the device might help that.
