  1. More progress on the #homelab renovation.. mostly software-related at the moment though. Managed to get #nomad to correctly mount the NFS volumes I needed for #smokeping and #mariadb, and figured out how template files work for simple config files being passed in to containers.

    I'm currently using my old #unraid server as the storage backend.. but I'll most likely still be upgrading to a new unraid server soon so what I setup now can easily be translated to the next server. Once I have everything transferred I'll setup a backup task across the storage on unraid so that I have all application states protected.

    Last thing to figure out is the load balancing for my services. I want them all accessible via IP/port on my LAN and by service under #tailscale. Not sure how this will all fit together - I probably need a dedicated box for the LB.. maybe just a simple #nginx proxy with #consul configuration so that it's somewhat dynamic. Would love to get feedback on this, and if you know of a simpler/better way!

  2. I have more than enough technical hobby projects, and #HomeAutomation runs flawlessly with #HomeMatic/ #RaspberryMatic and #CUxD.

    But taking a look at #HomeAssistant as an umbrella front-end is definitively worthwhile. Tons of supported 3rd party systems and protocols, a flexible modern GUI, and a resource efficient #docker container are only a few advantages. Also helps to retire some obsolete services like, e.g. #SmokePing.
