I always use a version tag, but I don’t spend any time reading release notes for 95% of my containers. I’ll go through and update versions a couple times a year. If something breaks, at least I know that it broke because I updated it and I can troubleshoot then. The main consideration for me is to not accidentally update and then having a surprise problem to deal with.

I think the main page has been untouched for a few years now. I think JDM went all in on the forum and Discord and stopped focusing on the static webpage.

The discord is active. There is some problem with the hosting, I don’t remember the details, but they are recommending people use the internet archive to find information posted on the forum for the time being.

I think this is just a terminology difference. The documentation says that “Add Ons” are not supported in Container and Core, but “Add Ons” means the easy button you press to install those services. All of those Add On services are just containers that HAOS manages for you. Every single one of them can be set up as a container manually and function the same as the official “Add Ons.”

I don’t know for sure, but I wonder if the reason for this is that it’s not technically possible for a container to manage other external containers. Does anybody know about this?

To be fair, Addons are just other containers. If you’re using a Docker install for Home Assistant, I think the idea is you already have a handle on your docker host, and you’re capable of adding whatever other containers you might need.

I have server2 (which replaced server1). I also have ‘nvr1’.

telegraf is so easy to use and extend

Definitely… you can write custom scripts that Telegraf will run and write that data to Influx. For instance, I have one that writes the Gateway status information from pfSense so I can track and graph any internet downtime.

CPU/RAM/Disk/Network etc. get written to Influxdb via Telegraf, and visualized with Grafana.

Logging and errors go to Graylog stack (Mongodb, Opensearch, Graylog).

Unraid

If you look at the markings on the baffle in the T320, it’s marked to indicate the second CPU as well as the second bank of RAM slots. I think it’s safe to say it’s identical.

Is there not a native Nextcloud app for your tablet?

That doesn’t make any sense… the fact that it’s only used in part of the world makes it even more useful for the bot to define it.

Is there a reason why your bot doesn’t define CSAM?

I use a Graylog/Opensearch/Mongodb stack to log everything. I spent a good amount of time writing parsers for each source, but the benefit is that everything is normalized to make searching easier. I’m happy with it as a solution!

Given the choice between RAID but no backup, and backup but no RAID, it’s backup but no RAID by a mile.

I like my Venstar Explorer Minis. They have both a local API and cloud, both of which can be disabled independently (so you can have local ON and cloud OFF).

I really think there’s nothing better than Photostructure in terms of viewing and re-discovering your photos. It’s still a young product going through growing pains, but the things it does, it does well.

Take a look at Photostructure… I think that will meet your requirements!

If I’m being honest, I’ve never even looked to see what language most of the stuff I run is written in. Out of 16 apps that I’m running, only 3 are accessible from outside my LAN. Those three are high-profile open source projects that are actively maintained. That’s enough for me to be comfortable security-wise in my environment.

I wrote my personal website in PHP, and I’m pretty happy with the security I’ve got going on. I’m not an expert, but I paid close attention to best practices to avoid pitfalls like SQL injection. My instinct is that it’s certainly easy to code insecure applications in PHP (and probably many other languages as well), but the language does provide means by which to code safely.
