How do I live without Add-Ons when running Home Assistant Container?

These are the three main things that I see people struggling with when moving from Home Assistant Operating System to Home Assistant Container.
1. How to easily edit the Home Assistant Configuration file without the File Editor or Studio Code Server Add-Ons. For this I use Visual Studio code, connected directly to my Ubuntu server using SSH.
2. How to map a USB device from your Host computer to your Docker container. You'll need to do this if you want to use ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT or Z-WaveJS2MQTT.
3. Replicating the functionality of any 3rd party application add-on like Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitto, Wireguard VPN or Plex Media Server. This can be done by adding those services as Docker Containers. It's actually far better this way because you're no longer limited to the services that are available as Home Assistant Add-Ons. You have a whole world of applications available on Docker that you otherwise wouldn't!
