So this is my “testing” phase as we are building the dream home currently and the main purpose will be for Smart home / Automation via Home assistant.
In this current set up i am running;
- Proxmox hypervisor “Supermicro Server”
- Home Assistant Virtual Machine
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS virtual machine with Docker + Docker Compose.
- Portainer - to give me a GUI interface.
- NGINX - proxy to allow administration and Home assistant to the outside world.
- PI-Alert - to monitor what is on the network and find IP addresses.
- Unifi Controller - to manage the unifi range.
- Guacamole - Provide 1 solution to administer SSH, VNC etc.
- Uptime Kuma - Monitoring states of dockers and virtual machines “soon will configure alerts”
- Vaultwarden - Password manager.
- Linkwarden - bookmarking tool.
- Exclidraw - made that pretty picture and others.
- Flame - a dashboard for shortcuts to all my services.
- Windows 10 “NAS” (will rebuild to somthing else)
- Plex
- All ARR’s to acquire media to plex for streaming around the house.
- Unraid “Daily Box”
- Network Shares.
- 2x Windows 10 clients
So i have been changing Dockers as i find better ones that suit my case, style and wanted to see what you guys think about the selected tools?
What Dockers do you think are better in your opinion and why?
Not sure if proxmox supports vhdx from hyper-v, so would be a full rebuild.
But you can restore HASSOS and backup docker configuration files to new instance.
I didn’t have too many devices on ZHA at the old home maybe 10, but new home I’m going all out. Z2mqtt I’ve had no issues so far.
I’ve seen there’s some conversion utils, though a full rebuild wouldn’t be too bad as it’s only hosting some docker containers.
HASSOS should indeed be a backup & restore piece of cake.
Just finished the switchover from ZHA using a WiFi controller to Z2MQTT using a USB controller.
Hopefully solves my drop off issues, I do actually like Z2MQTT’s interface, and the devices seem faster…
Nice mate, hope it fixed it
