Home Assistant Setup and Customization

I need help deploying and customizing a self-hosted Home Assistant setup using Linux and Docker.

Project Scope:

* Install and deploy Home Assistant with Docker on a Linux server.
* Replace the default logo and brand name with my custom branding.
* Apply simple UI styling updates (colors, logo, homepage appearance) without changing functionality.
* Keep all changes update-safe using themes, CSS overrides, or mounted custom files.
* Remove unnecessary external links or references where possible.

Requirements:

* Do not modify core functionality or system logic.
* All branding files should be organized separately for easy maintenance.
* The setup must continue working after standard Home Assistant updates.

Deliverables:

* Fully working Docker-based Home Assistant instance.
* Custom branding/theme files in a clean folder structure.
* Instructions or proof showing branding remains after updates.

Skills Needed:

* Home Assistant + Docker deployment
* Linux server management
* Basic CSS/HTML customization
* Experience with Docker volume overrides or theme customization
