  • It depends on your motivations and security requirements.

    If you’re already hosting Home Assistant, there is an add-on for CloudFlared which will take care of most of everything for you, using CloudFlare secure tunnels.
    It even does simple subdomain reverse proxy, to serve your other services.

    It requires that you use CloudFlare for your DNS entries, and it won’t secure your host for you (they do offer some free services to help a little), and you still end up depending on a cloud service provider so it’s not pure self hosting.
    But it’s free, you’re still mostly in control, and it’s less likely to catastrophically mess up your netsec if you’re a beginner.













  • I’m still trying to figure out my network settings so that I can have my IoT one one network while still being able to access my home assistant from the other network.

    Unfortunately, my ISP is also my cable company, and I have to use their modem/router combo else the cable boxes won’t accept the cable signal. I’m using my own wireless access point (which also doubles as a switch for the handful of Ethernet devices I have), and it can split off a separate SSID, but that’s not really doing much.




  • I’m frustrated that Immich doesn’t have a “back up new photos only” option.

    All the photos on my phone are already in a huge external library with my backups from previous phones. I don’t want to delete them from my phone just so immich doesn’t freak out, and I don’t wanna have them on my NAS twice
    Immich seems great, but this seems like the bread and butter migration path that nearly everyone would take.
