Very nice and detailed guides.

The guide for Shellys [0] is highly appreciated. I always thought about touching those, but all the guides I've found required knowledge I didn't have. I guess it's a precaution because one can cause real damage doing this wrong, but I feel now, I could do it.

Dzieki.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Error establishing a database connection

Hug of death

Problematic design. It's a static page, and should be served as such; a Raspberry Pi could probably handle that, and it's easy to put behind Cloudflare or similar.

Hugged to death but what i like about zerotier is that I can access my Home Assistant instance (and other home services) with same ip address (resolved from dns and then TLS terminated with traefik) from home network and from zerotier.

And it does not matter if I have ZT network connected when home.

Not sure if that is possible with tailscale (from my understanding, it generates always tailnet ip for hosts).

It does, but it should connect over LAN when both devices are on the same network. The tailnet IP doesn’t exist outside the WireGuard network, so it’s up to the WireGuard routing algorithm.
