Create a cloud flare accounts and change the name servers at you current registrars to what cloudflare gives you when you try to migrate. Its best practice to split up registrar and DNS anyway. then create an API token so your reverse proxy can build records and certbot a new cert.

What rock do you live under if you’re using MySQL over MariaDB?

Thx!

Ain’t nobody reading that novel past “sudo apt install”, least of all OPs girlfriend from Canada there.

I was just curious what functions you were running on the PC that you wanted to control via HA.

That’s a good solution. What is your PC controls yaml if it isn’t too private?

And more fucking shit in the left navbar that doesn’t belong there, I’d imagine.

I know what you mean. Trying to get automations working in HA annoys me, I’m way more comfortable in Node Red. I find HA a good way to get the devices into the system and display data, then NodeRed to actually do my automations. So much more you can do in there.

If you’re on the same install that long you might never have seen them. Iirc the only thing you’d get 10 years ago was overview and maybe Map. Now it’s got a dozen stupid headings you have to turn off, it’s confusing and silly. Some of them are completely empty with no obvious way of using them, like Climate.

They do on a new install as long as I can remember. Maybe you turned them off in Settings and forgot? I haven’t seen anything that will turn them off for you, other than maybe adding something to configuration.yaml that does it.

I don’t think we want to see what the world’s biggest military would do if there were large-scale attacks on American soil. This planet would be a smoking ruin before calmer heads prevailed. They lost their fucking minds for more than a decade after the WTC strikes and still haven’t recovered, and are currently backsliding.

Man, fuck that.

If you get a camera that is ONVIF compatible, you won’t need an app to set it up. Vikylin, amcrest are a couple I’ve used.

Use tailscale to access your cameras, don’t portforward them. They are pathetically terrible for security.

OPNsense

Its affirmation therapy for insecure people. “Somebody likes the thing I like!”

Its literally being done now. Its excruciating.

Dammit, I knew there was a downside to avoiding people so thoroughly.

NC is fine. Ignore the haters.

Why the hell would the FUTO guide recommend OpenVPN? It’s a nightmare. I guess they also recommend pfSense instead of OPNsense so there’s that.

For your own sanity, learn about Wireguard.

Happy to help.

The docker setup is probably less maintenance than a straight install, but your usecase might need the bare install. there’s also Home Assistant that can add Piper as an Addon (which is a docker container inside the HassOS docker container). Also the Hass install will let you add faster-Whisper and Openwakeword for a full voice assistant that autoconnects via the Wyoming protocol.
