Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

No idea why the OS of someone should be better than your favorite distro. Sounds like bull shit.
But, the docker version is a second class citizen for home assistant. You have to manually install stuff yourself. Which is usually no problem but the how tos and tutorials etc. Aren't as easily visible and hence it's unneccessarily complicated in my opinion.
If you install it via docker and it's the first time, you won't know that the stuff is missing. Look for how to install HACS.
I'd always go the container route. You can just move the files to a new server, you can spin it up and down, install a second isntance, back it up, share it with friends. Containers are awesome.
I already have a server running Unraid, where everything else is containerized. I just simply wanted to find a use case for this RPI as it is just collecting dust atm.
Do you have hyperhdr? If not, then use the pi for it :)
~~Nope, never heard of it either. Care to elaborate?~~
Ohh, so its for building DIY TV backlighting, seems cool!
Yes! And it's very good. If you already own a pi, the rest doesn't cost a lot. Look on aliexpress or whereever you can get cheap parts from china.

Thanks, I'll see around where I can get lights to an OK price. I've never thought about having ambient lights around my TV before. I might make another lemmy post on that, ask lemmies if they have ambient lighting or not and what they think of it. I personally always thought it was one of these marketing points from TV companies, but looking around now and it does seem a little cool haha!
Good idea, looking forward to that post.
I think it's great. The LEDs only cost a few bucks. They are mostly heavily overpriced unless you buy directly from china
Yeah that's true, but am trying to fight against the "boy from cheap online shops" mentality. We're fortunate that amazon isn't a thing in my country, although they do ship here. But I'll look around to see where I can get some good ones, compatible with what I want to do.
I understand the logic, yet you are just buying from a reseller. There is no need for the middleman in that case. It's not all bad.
I was mostly referring to this chart they have on their website.

That's wrong and missleading.
You have to install HACS yourself (which isn't difficult). That's why they can write that it has no addons. They are stupid for doing this
Managed restore? With a container you just backup the folder. No fancy weird backup stuff required. Idiots.
Managed os? No idea what that means. Probably bs as well. Your computer is yours, not theirs.
