This is a backup of my Home Assistant configuration.
- homeassistant/home-assistant - Home Assistant
- Traefik - reverse proxy and certificates
- UniFi Security Gateway takes care of updating DNS dynamically
- Ouroborus takes care of updating images
- healthchecks.io takes care of service pings and emails me when something is down
- uptimerobot.com takes care of HTTP monitoring and emails/webhook when something is down
- Gotify for mobile notifications via healthchecks.io/uptimerobot.com.
- Syncthing - this is how I choose to modify configuration files remotely
- GitHub for configuration backups, [this script] is used to backup the host
- Travis CI/Azure DevOps provides automatic builds/test for repository changes
- Run Home Assistant in Docker and skip all the other ways of installing/hosting - save yourself headaches!
- Home Assistant Integrations can be fun and addictive at first, but, will ultimately be a constant source of failures and issues. Stick with the basics. Lights, presense, smart-home devices like thermostats...
Ubuntu Server, Docker Swarm, 1 on-prem node (old HP laptop) 2 nodes in Azure via site-to-site VPN (too costly, one node swarm for now). Home Assistant does not run in Swarm due to the fact that you cannot map in the Z-Wave USB device.
