Summary

Package Spoolman as a native HomeAssistant add-on for easy deployment.

Upstream Issue

https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman/issues/406 (3 reactions)

Use Case

Users running HomeAssistant Supervised want to run Spoolman as a native add-on rather than a separate Docker container. HA prefers add-ons over standalone containers.

Proposed Solution

Create an add-on following HA guidelines:

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/add-ons/
Package as Docker container with HA add-on config
Submit to HA add-on store or HACS

Benefits

One-click install from HA
Automatic updates through HA
Integrated with HA backup system
No separate Docker management

Notes

Existing HACS integration handles API connection
This is about deployment, not integration
Lower priority - works fine as standalone container
