Hi! I have been wondering about whether investing into home assistant would be worth it to control my media center as well. Do you happen to have handy links to any resources you found helpful?
I just used the standard integration documentation on HA's website.
Mosquitto MQTT Broker. Its main purpose is to receive published system status (free disk space, memory, load, temperature) messages from other servers. The clients all use mosquitto_pub in a 5-line bash script run by crontab every 5 minutes. It's secure, has a very low overhead all round and I can access the topic from any device that has an MQTT client without needing SSH, VPN etc access. I also use it for publishin…
That sounds like a great use case of MQTT. Do you have any tips or references to copy your approach? Is it easy to display the last message received on a collection of topics? It would make it easy to watch a custom summary of a large system.
I did a writeup at https://petergarner.net/notes.php?thisnote=20190811-Lightwei... which should give you some ideas. As regards clients I'd recommend the cross-platform MQTT Explorer https://mqtt-explorer.com/ and for iOS, I've settled on EasyMQTT which also provides some graphing options. I don't use Android but most of the clients are good (and free). Hope this helps!
Pihole. DNS-level ad-blocking for my network. Jellyfin. Movies/TV/Music server with a variety of clients, including a built-in web client, but also AndroidTV/Shield, Roku, Kodi, and more. It's like having a personal Netflix. Minecraft. The old Java kind. May be leaving for something open-source soon because MS has fucked up the account transitions so badly, and also make buying new copies bizarrely painful, error-pro…
Home assistant. Incredibly versatile and complete home automation software.
Home assistant is fantastic. The number of integrations available is unbelievable (and also somewhat scary, security wise): What I have right now: - integration with Tuya lights/electrical outlets - integration with AirThings air quality sensor - integration with EcoBee thermostat/presence sensors - integration with an LG Oven (status only as far as I can tell) - integration with Garmin ecosystem - integration with p…
I guess I technically self-host things like E-mail, web, dnsmasq-based spam blocking, and so on, but I don't consider them applications either, so much as they're basic out-of-the-box Linux services.
Clicking through to the article, I have never heard of any of those applications, so I guess I don't self-host anything. Such an odd question, really.

Caddy is great but there sadly isn't anything like nginx-proxy-manager for it. The proxy manager is actually a full little identity provider and authenticating proxy--it's very slick and perfect for simple home self-hosting scenarios with a handful of users.
Could you please go into more detail regarding "a full little identity provider and authenticating proxy"? Does nginx-proxy-manager do something like SSO?

I will most likely move this to a Hashicorp Nomad job on my home server once I find the time.
