  • must not add insane amounts of cost to my power bill
  • Has to be upgradable if I need to add upgrades to the hardware in the future
  • Has a speaker
  • may want to possibly also set up node red but it depends on if I need it or not because I may just be fine with home assistants automation
  • has to have wireless connectivity
  • mainly setting this up to add automation around my reolink cameras linked through the reolink home hub for example getting a second camera in the same area to start recording when one detects motion or link other smart home security products like sirens or floodlights

@the_boxhead @x4740N Are you running all your apps independently on Proxmox or are you using a framework to bring them together? (Like #Yunohost or #coopcloud) - I have been running Yunohost on a VPS but moving to #Proxmox on DellMini - I am still getting my head around Proxmox but like the idea of knitting apps like HomeAssistant, Nextcloud etc with LDAP/Oauth, Email, DNS and ReverseProxy, Backup - all the underlying stuff that keeps your environment running.

I’m just running them independently. Although the proxmox helper scripts automate the creation of a load of bits that I use. https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/

I don’t run much, just a Debian-vm, Unifi docker, Jellyfin and Jellyseer (and some *arr) apps.

Discussion of Home-Assistant adjacent topics is absolutely fine, within reason.
