I’m actually in the process of switching over from docker to podman. Its definitely a learning curve, ie. Setting up systems integration etc.

I do love it but its been a bit of a pain, for instance I’m still trying to figure out the errors I’m getting when trying to deploy my matrix and vikunja containers, I’m getting permission errors and can’t find dB errors. I k ow little about podman right now but I would definitely recommend it since it is open source and runs rootless by deafult.

These look nice unfortunately I can’t seem to find them on Amazon Canada, any other smart light changing bulb recommendations? I’m also looking for rgb outdoor pot lights but they need to be completely local.

This ^^ I thought this whole controversy was because they don’t support the HA nix package BUT when people use it and their HA instance breaks…they go to homeassistant support… Doesn’t sound like a dictator but just saying they don’t support that nix package etc. ?

I’m currently looking for something like this as well. I’ll have to give go access a try

I have vaultwarden in docker but I don’t expose my instance externally as you really don’t need to. Put the bitwarden app on your phone sign into the instance and it will work even if your instance is borked. You can’t add items but it works.

My suggestion, run it in docker and just back up the entire docker compose and folder structure as that includes the database as well.

If you want to expose it use nginx proxy manager its dead simple and awesome.

I’m currently using osmc on raspberry pi 3s with the jellyfin kodi add-on installed. Works like a charm and can also install other video addons as well. Its been rock solid and you can airplay and stream from your phone. Been running this replacement for a year.

I have all reolink cameras. I put them in a separate vlan with no internet access or DNS just LAN access. They are by far my favourite and already have tight integration support in home assistant.

Can somebody shed some light on why this doesn’t create a systemd entry? It works when I manually run it specifying the config.yaml file but there are no systemd entries. I’m on Ubuntu desktop.

I just picked up a banglejs 2 and I love it. I was using a galaxy smart watch 5 but didn’t work without gapps on my lineage phone. Its obviously not as good as the Samsung smart watch but I’ve been super happy with it. No creating accounts, getting tokens etc. Just pair it via Bluetooth and gadget bridge and you are good to go. Its a little pricey but for open source watch its awesome, I’ve heard good things about pinetime as well.

I’ve got a 80$ ZigBee centralite pearl thermostat. Took a bit to setup automations for it but its been rock solid

I do this too, have acls setup for my main LAN ips and all my internal hosts setup in opnsense in hosts override so they get redirected to NPM. Not sure if this is the correct way but it gives me all valid certificates. You could also do domain override and redirect just that domain to your NPM.

Hmm yeah makes sense, I just can’t do it since then I would need VPN app and home assistant app running 24/7 lol. I need location for home assistant and both appa are too much for my wife’s iPhone. I might tey again but with gpslogger instead of home assistant for location.

I would be interested to hear how this goes. I had this setup with tailscale but having it run 24/7 on both our phones drained the battery really quickly. That being said I was running full tunnel and also needed home assistant background location running as well.

+1 they are completely local, cheap and have a tight integration with home assistant, I have 5 of their cameras.

I tried this for 2 months with tailscale and love it, however having it run 24/7 on both my wife’s and my phone was too much. It literally wiped out the battery on my wife’s iPhone 12 unless she charged it in the middle of the day. I lost about 40% more battery throughout the day on my android. I had to switch back to cloudflare and nginx proxy manager for now.

Hmm ok I’ve only tried accessing the login page via my browser using the fqdn but haven’t tried from another source like davx. I have 10 other services working fine over the internet so I’m not sure what im doing wrong with this setup.

I have a proxmox hassio VM with 2gb ram and it runs everything smart in my house. The main purpose would be for automations IMO. Like when my phone chargers at night the house lights, TVs locks all shut down and the cameras go into alerting mode. Home assistant is amazing since you don’t have to have 5 apps to control stuff and your data is completely private unlike when using Google home etc. When buying IOT devices I would say stick with zigbee, zwave and only buy WiFi stuff if it works locally without having to have internet wccess.

This exactly what I’m trying to do, get valid https certificates via a domain name on cloudflare. I have nginx proxy manager running and working to serve a couple of sites like home assistant. The problem I’m having is how do I get valid certificates for my internal services via npm but only be able to access them inside my lan not the internet?

Not a shameless plug at all. Damn this is super nice! Thanks for posting this I’m definitely going to be looking into this project!

I would also love one 💕
