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.

Gotcha… as long as you understand that any device that receives that traffic can see exactly what’s in it! (no sarcasm intended at all… if you’re informed of the risk and OK with it, then all is well!)

What’s your reason for using HTTP? That seems like a really bad idea this day in age, ESPECIALLY if that’s something you’re going to make available on the internet.

A reverse proxy is basically a landing place that acts as a middle man between the client and the server. Most people set it up so that all traffic on 80 or 443 go to the reverse proxy, and then the reverse proxy gets the correct website based on the host header of the request.

If you are currently serving multiple websites on your server, then that means you are serving each website on a different port.

So, just make sure that the reverse proxy is serving on a port that is not used by your other sites. It will only respond on it’s own port, and it will only serve the site(s) that you have configured in the proxy.

You’ll be fine!

I hear you… it’s definitely not about one tasting better than others, but maybe more about the eating experience. I do think there’s a legitimate argument about how different pasta shapes encourage different pasta to sauce ratios, but at the end of the day it’s just the two elements coming together and the taste is what it is. We should all enjoy it the way we want to! I just wanted to explain why some people talk about certain sauces and certain pasta shapes “belonging” together.

It has everything to do with the consistency of the sauce and how well it sticks to the pasta. For example, spaghetti with a meat sauce isn’t a great choice because the meat won’t actually stick to the pasta and you’ll have to scoop up that meat “manually.” Better is pappardelle, which has a huge surface area that causes the meat to stick to the pasta.

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

I’m not sure what caused your problem, but I can tell you that I am using the Venstar integration with https, and it works fine for me. With that in mind, have you tried removing the thermostat from home assistant entirely, and then adding it back fresh?

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

Just curious… How is your mini pc less dedicated?

My Reolink cameras are firewalled from communicating with the internet, so I can confirm that they function fine without cloud access.
