Comment on My selfhosting setup so far

Awesome! I have a very similar setup to you. I recommend installing pi-hole regardless and putting at least Hagezi’s normal block list on it, just for a sane web browsing experience.

Home Assistant is also really good, because it includes a bunch of stuff that you probably wouldn’t first think of. For instance, I’m using its API to request the indoor temperature from my home thermostat and the outdoor temperature from a weather module that it has built in, and I’ve programmed it to let me know when it’s too hot to walk the dog, and when to open/close the windows in the house to keep it as cool as possible in this heatwave.

I’m using LeafWiki for home documentation. A list of things I intend to try hosting, my backup strategy which I’m bound to otherwise forget. I’m thinking about putting all of our meals on there so that we when we get tired of a particular meal for a while, we can return to it when we’re at a loose end with the shopping.
