This looks really nice, fast and well considered. I’d love to understand more about these lighthouse nodes.

Translating documentation

And translations for the application itself in some cases, so that it can be ran and used in different languages. Human contributions to the language files of the application is what my project needs more than anything else, and if you do speak a non-English language fluently, I’d be very grateful! Here’s how I’ve worded it for my project:

If you would like your language to be supported, please create a new pull request, or a new issue with your language file, using an existing language file as a template.

It’s a PHP container On the front end I’m using Bootstrap and theming it with Catppuccin. The data for the home energy charts are populated from the Home Assistant API. They’re drawn with chart.js. The server stats are pulled from PHP exec commands, and drawn with Bootstrap progress bars. The temperature card also takes data from the Home Assistant API, which also has an endpoint for local weather data. This doesn’t update as often as I’d like. But it compares the outdoor temperature with the reported temperature of my thermostat, and then the messages below that are determined by a comparison of those values. I’m also using HTMX to load each card, and each tab of the energy card separately so that I don’t have no wait on all requests for the dashboard to load. Not that it’s slow - the home assistant API is surprisingly efficient at loading a great deal of logs. When you click my dogs face, she says WOOF WOOF WOOF in a modal to offer me a search with searxng.

I’d add “time to next meal” but she seems to know that already down to the minute!

I built a dashboard themed around my dog. It uses the Home Assistant API to get various stats from the house. I’m pleased with it!

Oh I see! I’m not the OP. I’m not sure if you meant to respond to my comment initially.

It just allows you to quickly make pages of content, like Wikipedia. It has a tree navigation and search. Here’s a demo site: demo.leafwiki.com/home

I keep my container volumes in sub-directory of that of the docker compose file and tar them up and put them somewhere safe. I spent ages trying to figure out how to back up a container, because I thought that the state of a database was in memory, which I suppose it is, but when you stop it, it’s just a bunch of files like everything else, so I elected to keep it simple. I’ve been thinking of creating a cron job to do it routinely. I’m not sure what you mean regarding the codeberg question.

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.

That’s awesome! I would never have expected that kind of throughput. On the day of your popular post, did you feel the traffic while trying to use the internet yourself at all? I sometimes fear that I’m going to get hit by something that interrupts what I’m doing and I’ll have to take the server down temporarily. It hasn’t happened yet though. I use a cloudflare tunnel mostly because I don’t have a static IP address, but it does help reassure me in the event of a DDOS and blocking bot traffic. Those services are free by the way (for the time being at least! Who knows about the future)
