I recently setup Music Assistant and have been trying to make it work in my VLANs with my esp32 devices. It has been slow going. Nothing has the level of logging required to easily debug the issues I’ve encountered but I’m slowly working through it all.

How’s your experience with meshtastic been? I’ve just started experimenting with it. There are very few nodes in my area, so my potential use cases seem limited.

And if you really want to burn it good look into getting/making thermite.

Homepage is great, especially if the services are deployed on docker or Kubernetes. You can just add some metadata to each service and Homepage will automatically pick them up. No need to remember to update it directly for a new service.

I got a Venstar T2000. Its at a decent price point, HAOS has built in support for it, and it can work entirely without internet.

An easy option is VaultWarden. Pretty painless to host AND it’ll store your passwords. There are probably better dedicated tools, but it’s functionality is pretty solid.

I haven’t used it, but agendav - https://github.com/agendav/agendav looks like it might be what you’re looking for. There are similar projects for iCal format, which many calendar apps can emit as well.

Fcast seems pretty promising but it looks like it’s only implemented in Grayjay thus far.

I’ve got a handful of Android-based TVs that I’m becoming increasingly irritated with. Google regularly pushes updates that break stuff. I already have Jellyfin and Navidrome running on my network and can play them on the TV without issue. Netflix et al are also no issue, but being able to stream other sources such as YouTube/NewPipe.

I am not a fan of Apple either, so adding to them to the mix is a nonstarter.

This looks exactly like what I’m looking for!

Oh that isn’t quite what I was looking for but I’ve got Home Assistant and Jellyfin already. I’ll have to play with this! Thanks!

Pretty sure Immich allows you to act on existing directory structures of images now. The database itself is hardly an issue there.

It’s the THIRDREALITY Motion Sensor https://a.co/d/giK2dvw. It’s worked really well so far.

Neat. I did something similar but simpler. I put a cheap zigbee motion detector in the mailbox and hooked it to a routine to toggle a flag and trigger a notification. Yours sounds like more fun though.

Totally agree. I run both Immich and Nextcloud. Both are great.

For image hosting I would look at Immich. It aims to be a full Google Photos replacement. It isn’t quite there yet, but it is quite featureful and rapidly improving.

If you just like the personal heat map then checkout grrrmin_heatmap. It’s a pretty flexible python script for generating them.

Kubernetes is great if you run lots of services and/or already use kubernetes at work. I use it all the time and I’ve learned a lot on my personal cluster that I’ve taken to work to improve their systems. If you’re used to managing infra already then it’s not that much more work, and it’s great to be able to shutdown a server for maintenance and not have to worry about more than a brief blip on your home services.

That’s my naming scheme as well. All the big servers are named after the realms. Other devices get monsters, etc
