  I’m currently using osmc on raspberry pi 3s with the jellyfin kodi add-on installed. Works like a charm and can also install other video addons as well. Its been rock solid and you can airplay and stream from your phone. Been running this replacement for a year.

  I do this too, have acls setup for my main LAN ips and all my internal hosts setup in opnsense in hosts override so they get redirected to NPM. Not sure if this is the correct way but it gives me all valid certificates. You could also do domain override and redirect just that domain to your NPM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this a bad idea? Mesh/VPN⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm yeah makes sense, I just can’t do it since then I would need VPN app and home assistant app running 24/7 lol. I need location for home assistant and both appa are too much for my wife’s iPhone. I might tey again but with gpslogger instead of home assistant for location.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this a bad idea? Mesh/VPN⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be interested to hear how this goes. I had this setup with tailscale but having it run 24/7 on both our phones drained the battery really quickly. That being said I was running full tunnel and also needed home assistant background location running as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a proxmox hassio VM with 2gb ram and it runs everything smart in my house. The main purpose would be for automations IMO. Like when my phone chargers at night the house lights, TVs locks all shut down and the cameras go into alerting mode. Home assistant is amazing since you don’t have to have 5 apps to control stuff and your data is completely private unlike when using Google home etc. When buying IOT devices I would say stick with zigbee, zwave and only buy WiFi stuff if it works locally without having to have internet wccess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally got my server to work properly. (Routing with custom local domain instead of ports)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This exactly what I’m trying to do, get valid https certificates via a domain name on cloudflare. I have nginx proxy manager running and working to serve a couple of sites like home assistant. The problem I’m having is how do I get valid certificates for my internal services via npm but only be able to access them inside my lan not the internet?

  I listened to a podcast 2 years ago that explained the history of covid/vaccines and where covid came from. I really wish I could remember what it was called but it was fantastic, I sent it to my family members who were anti-vax
