Which reverse proxy guide would you recommend? I tried NGINX and Traefik but may not be understanding some steps. I have website, Gitlab and Nextcloud docker containers. But they may be split up into different machines or moved to Kubernetes.

I did put together a garage door opener using a RaspberryPi back in 2016. I also used magnetic switch to detect the status of the door and push notification when the door remained open for too long. Unfortunately the push notification service is no longer active. Also "wrote" the code to check the status of the door and send out notifications in a really poor way so I figured you might be THE one guy who could figure things out in 10 minutes and doing it better than I would in a week.

This is becoming my favorite channel.

Dude I work for openSUSE at the rancher project. You gave me some ideas for my dev environment 🎉 Awesome Video!

Awesome, I've been struggling to make home assistant to work on my docker in my ubuntu home server and it helps me a lot, thanks Bro, hugs from Brazil!!!

Great video! Now do one on how to convert Home Assistant Supervisor to run as a set of deployments in Kubernetes

Thanks, I’ve been fighting with containerizing supervisor. You made me realize I don’t need supervisor I can containerize core and that will suit my needs

Hopefully my first smart device will be delivered tomorrow. A little Smart Speaker/clock. Going to add some smart bulbs as well. Just got Home Assistant up and running on a new Docker host I just set up this morning. Can't wait to give it a try.

Thanks for the demo and walk-thru. Have a great day

Excellent Guide Tim! I am starting with home automation and what not and covering many different apps and settings can be tedious - I like this guide and will follow it and adjust/repurchase my devices if needed to get going! Thx a million! Perhaps you could do a video on suggestions for devices, hubs and sensors or at least explain what you have there! Cheers!

Hey Tim, great content. I’ve got HA installed on K3S cluster. However i dont think you can use the HomeKit integration outright. Given its sitting in a container i think there needs to be a workaround to get it to work. Are you familiar with how to do this?

@TechnoTim

I think all of the home assistant plugins are containers themself so you might need to get creative, install them manually, or use a vm.

@@TechnoTim HomeKit QR code scan integration uses multicast DNS for identifying the device (HA) in the network. Pods in k8s have an internal network with a different IP range from the normal network and network routing is used. The problem is that broadcast and multicast is blocked by default from any router between networks. So the Apple device will never find HA. Have the same problem... running currently HA on bare metal (on a pi 2) instead of my k3s pi cluster bc of this... Any idea on how to solve it in k8s?

Hey Tim, I've been following your videos for a while now. Is there a particular reason why we would need Kubernetes for these applications: Plex, Home Assistant, pfSense. I'm just trying to see what the real-world use case would require K8s for these apps, what benefits they provide vs traditional deployment.

I have been using Home Assistant for a few years, mostly on a Raspberry Pi. I don't have a large install, but I found the Pi was just getting a bit frustrating due to the slow restarts and the SD card issues. A Raspberry Pi is great if you are just playing initially, but for a permanent solution you want better quality installation. Obviously there are a few ways of doing this. Thanks for bring this video to show this way of doing it. Edit: The official Home Assistant app has a couple of serious bugs at the moment so it has been temporarily taken down as the developer has not had time to fix it. There is only one developer working on the HA iOS app. The Android app works well still and will work with Nabu Casa cloud. When it is fixed, the official App well work with Nabu Casa cloud.

If you install Home Assistant and configure all your devices can you still you "Hey Google" to control them when you aren't on your LAN?

So not sure you can setup dependent devices like zwave or zigby without settings up a standalone docker container.

I thought OMG I can HA on docker, until I found out it's only core and you don't get the supervisor. which is huge for administrating HA, so I went back to a VM running HA.
