You're welcome!

Thanks for that, I will test that out! Something I had not yet dug into, and running anything at root is... not great!

This guide is specific to ARM-based SoC's (notice the architecture type: aarch64). I suspect you will want to follow the x86_64 guide on Home Assistants' website. It will be similar, but all of the package names and builds will be for x64 CPU architecture.

Hard to tell if you're using the correct URL from your comment; I'll put brackets around them here so YT comments wont go crazy on us here :) Are you trying to use [get.docker.com] or are you trying [get.docker.url] ? Your comment sounds like the latter of the two? If you are in fact using [get.docker.com] which is correct, then I suspect you're having a local DNS issue, as it sounds like the machine cannot resolve that URL.

@@OMGTheCloudI’m using the correct one. It must be the local DNS issue. Any pointers on that? I’m new to all this.

The step "Install Prerequesites" overwrites /etc/resolv.conf with something useless. DNS is longer working.

Thanks and welcome! Traefik is a reverse-proxy which will allow you to present FreqTrade (or any web app) with real SSL certificates, when the target site itself is not SSL, or possibly using self-signed certs at best.

Hard to say exactly from that description, but if this referring to an SSL cert you have issued, ensure the root of the domain itself is the Common Name (CN), then your subdomain namespaces are listed as SANs, ie: CN: example.com SAN: www.example.com SAN: somename.example.com SAN: someothername.example.com Hope this helps!

Home Assistant OS is fully supported and the easiest method by far!

​@@OMGTheCloud I have Raspberry5 and I use this for multiple purposes. HA, Pihole, Plex etc. So I setup my HA on Docker. But it is not supervised mode. May I use this method on RaspPi5?

@@tufantokatl6963 I see what you’re saying. In this case, you are using the Containerized install option of Home Assistant. It’s not my favorite, as it means you have no ability to use Add-Ons directly (though “Add-ons” generally are just containers, so you can manage them fully on your own). My experience in home automation has lead me to have a strong desire to keep my Home Assistant fully deployed to separate hardware, and treat it more as an appliance that is part of my home, much like an alarm panel, irrigation controller, etc. I dont really like it doing double-duty, as things can go poorly, which reduces the Wife Acceptance Factor drastically :) I would be interested in learning more about your setup, please share!

Not quite sure what you're referring to, can you describe a bit more?

@OMGTheCloud cmdline.txt afterall in my rpi5 latest OS was in /boot/firmware/ folder.

@@OMGTheCloud it's ok, I used sudo nano cmdline.txt. Also the cmdline.txt is in boot/firmware/ path.

Good question - in practice, the solar panel outputs ~6v during full sun, which keeps the charge circuit running. With an ESP32 configured to run in deep-sleep, and only wake up every 10 min to send sensor values, it is plenty to keep the battery topped off during daylight hours, and run continuously. I have a weather station that has been running in a distant corner of my property for about 3 years, with no issues. It wakes up every 10min, reports temp, humidity, batt voltage, wifi RSSI, all via MQTT, then goes back to sleep. The other key for remotely managing a deep-sleep device, is when it wakes up, it also checks for a retained MQTT message to see if it is supposed to stay awake. When this message is posted and it sees it at its' next wake cycle, it stays awake. This lets me do config changes or firmware updates, then send it back to sleep. This is all ESPhome firmware, hooked into Home Assistant.

Deep sleep is best, for power saving. It should wake up on a configured interval, send its' sensor data, and check to see if the MQTT retained message to "stay awake" is set to true / 1, if not it goes back to sleep. Hope this helps! BTW, I have a battery powered weather station that has been running for about 3. years like this :)

Glad it was helpful!

Root CA should be valid for 10+ years.

Fair question. I suspect Home Assistant is not putting much in the way into development efforts for supporting outside of their own HA OS, which is understandable. Drawing the line in the sand and saying "pure Debian 12 only" is probably as much commitment to third-party OS'es as they can justify.

Good question! First, Raspberry Pi OS is not supported, so we’ll toss that one out straight away. Debian can be in-place upgraded very easily, as I demonstrate in the video, by starting with Debian 11 (bullseye) and upgrading to Debian 12 (bookworm). Simple process of updating the repository to look for the new target branch, and kicking off the upgrade. By design, Debian and pretty much all modern Linux distributions, can be upgraded in-place, indefinitely.

@@OMGTheCloud I think the question is more: what with Debian 13, 14, etc. Do we disable upgrades or will it be OK once we've completed the initial set-up of HA Supervised on Debian 12?

Awesome, glad this was helpful!

Sure can! Volumes can mix and match, and are independent of each other. For example you can have your Plex config as a named-volume mount, while passing your media directories as NFS mounts. Stay tuned, I have an updated version of this deployment coming soon, as Plex has changed a bit, and I've learned some new tricks along the way myself :)

@@OMGTheCloud I am very much looking forward to your updated guide. I am kind of stuck trying to get this to work with my configuration. I use a different branded NAS (ASUSTOR) and am struggling with permission issues. The permission/options I am using on the VM to successfully mount NFS (on proxmox) are not working inside the container. I assume you can simultaneously mount NFS on the VM and inside the container? (Let's leave the LXC discussion for another time!). It may also have something to do with your naming. I follow the recommended naming schema of TRaSH guides to accommodate direct copy as described there. Your naming schema differs from this.

Actually, I figured it out tonight. Got everything working. Let's see if my Plex server stays stable now, for long periods.

Great question! Certainly depends on which SBC and OS you are using. Some may have ssh enabled by default with a known default user/pass, in which case you could just flash the uSD card and boot, find the device's IP on your network, and ssh right in, others may require you to install it. Raspberry Pi OS for example in previous iterations, you just had to have a "ssh" file present in the /boot directory, which you could do right after flashing it, and that was enough. Short answer: It depends!

That sounds like a fun one. I don't think I've done that specifically before with all the pieces you describe, but I think it could be done! Any reason you want to use OpenVPN specifically, rather than the native IPSec client on pfSense?

@@OMGTheCloud Hi Bro really appreciate your reply. I am having issues with openvpn that is configured on my ubuntu 18.04 client. pfsense openvpn split tunnel is configured on the server end but on my client its not working when I connect VPN it disconnects my base machine internet but I can connect to remote nodes. I want internet to be simultaneously working on my base ubuntu machine as well should be able to connect to remote nodes. Can you please help

Haven’t worked with OpenVPN much myself, so I’m not much help there. Can you use native IPSec VPN instead?

Sounds great, let us know how you do! Running extra things on the OS, you have to be careful about, but HA will tell you right away if it's unhappy. One thing for sure, is you do not want to try to run other Docker containers with this method. If you do have the need to run other containers, I recommend checking my HA Container video (last one in this series) if that's a good option for you.

Glad you like them!

That should be possible, but probably not super helpful, since it needs to talk to devices physically in your home. Can you run a simple VM on your computer using Hyper-V, VMware, or even VirtualBox? That aside, to your original question: If you really wanted to just run it in AWS in order to test it out, I would recommend using AWS Lightsail, as the cheapest possible option, to run a Debian 12 instance. Once you have that instance up, my guide will take you the rest of the way. Let me know how you do, happy to help along the way if you have questions!

Give it a try! I wonder how strong the 3D pen method is... maybe can do a comparison?

That's right! Let us know how you do, especially coming from an experienced welder!

@@OMGTheCloud I will I might just design a weld coupon and print a couple lol

Certainly can do that with subdomains and hostname matching. For what you want to accomplish, would this be something like: website1.example.com website2.example.com or example.com/website1 example.com/website2 ?

@@OMGTheCloud man, u r just amazing, thanx a looooooooot it worked just fine :) thnx bro for ur efforts

Glad I could help!

Thanks!

Great idea! I'm not sure I have the equipment to measure the strength in a scientific way (other than me pulling on it until it breaks!). The goal and theory behind friction welding is as you mention: we are bonding the pieces using the same material and thermal adhesion properties as the part was originally formed from. If we think of this a bit in the "weakest link in the chain" concept, we do not gain any overall strength in the part by making the bond between them stronger than the overall 3D printed parts' layer adhesion. So, if we can make the bonded joint equally strong with friction welding, we've made the overall part as strong as it possibly can be :)

I guess that a priori if same materials are involved in the friction welding we should expect the highest bonding "potential" as if 3d printed however intuitively a deposit of molten filament vs a high friction speed does not enable the same entanglement of the polymers at the interface. For the normal 3D printing, there is some time left for the molten plastic to adhere with the lower layer with the help of gravity. For the friction approach, it is quite a sudden (i guess higher temperature than with the extruder) rearranging/melting of the plastic locally. You never know, might be that with a thermal camera to check at which rotation speed corresponds to the 3d printer extruder temperature. You can even plan for a DOE/publication/partnership with a university, because to me all what you are showing is subject to fields in tribology (applicable in many fields).

Hi, the solar panel is 90m x 60mm, and output ~100mA; just enough to charge an 18650 over a few hours. You can pick up a 4-pack of them pretty cheap! amzn.to/471oyQj

I've only done it with PLA, would be interested in what you find with nylon!

@@OMGTheCloud it would act like a chainsaw lol.

haha, yes great point! That'd basically be the same type of material as what a weed whacker uses... chop chop!!

Awesome, you're welcome! Appreciate the support!

This is PLA. It should work equally well with other filament materials, just a matter of whether higher-temp filaments could benefit from running your rotary tool a bit faster!

Both great questions! Lowest energy consumption would be fully dependent on the ESP32 board chosen, which we can look at its' spec sheet for operating power requirements. Without the battery, the project should still fully work! ... when the sun is shining :) If you had a use case with only wanting to get sensor data during the day, that could do the trick, just leave the battery out of the circuit!

@@OMGTheCloud thanks for the reply, Actually I meant would this IoT work from short burst of sun or where the energy is stored to a capacitor or instantly used to power the device at short intervals..

A capacitor may be helpful, if you did not have a battery. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

:)

I’ve heard of those, but never tried one. Any suggestions? I wonder as far as structural strength, would a 3D pen also be melting the material on the pieces you are joining, or would it just sort of “inject” plastic into the crack? Could end up with a cold joint 🤔

​@@OMGTheCloudI doubt it. 3d pen is basically hand held extruder, so bond strength is roughly the same as layer adhesion. Friction welding is probably stronger. I prefer fusing parts together using brush and DHM.

I’ll have to try that! Not familiar with the process, is that a solvent based solution?

@@OMGTheCloud Yes it is, dichloromethane is a solvent that disolves PLA just like acetone disolves ABS, it evaporates in seconds, so you've got to be quick: apply little bit of DHM on one of the surfaces, quickly press it to another and hold for 5-10 seconds, it will fuse together very fast, but it will take about half an hour for PLA-DHM mix to cure completely and reach it's full strength. Caution: DHM is moderately toxic, so it is recomended to use it in well ventilated room and use eye protection and gloves

Fair enough! I like to learn and teach as many techniques as possible to extend my tool belt and knowledge.. thanks for checking in!

Thank you so much!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks!

Do you recommend an alternative?

@@OMGTheCloud For example the CN3791 module. There different types of this module and it was specifically designed to work with solar panels and liion batteries.

Great suggestion! I read up more on the topic, and I agree.. TP4056 can handle >5v input, but isn’t rated or designed for it, and conversely performs poorly in under-voltage, all things that solar panels will be throwing at it. I have a CN3791 on order now, cant wait to test it out! Appreciate your input!

I am using a tp4056 as well, did add a power path for load sharing. Was under the impression that should be OK and till now works fine. That said, i got some CN3791's as well. Will see how those do

Great question! Typically socks5 proxy is for outbound web traffic originating from inside your network. HA Proxy is allowing you to serve up web services to the Internet, and should be fully separate from your socks5 proxy

@@OMGTheCloud can you suggest me alternative? And I will be glad if you make a video about it for pfsense.

Can you describe your goals and your setup a bit further? There are several good paths forward

Fair question! At the time of the build, the challenge was finding cost-effective 2.5" HDDs that were at least 4TB, and did not use SMR layout, which is a massive performance killer on a RAID array. Certainly other ways to approach it, based on your storage needs, and this area has changed a bit since this project debuted. What would be a good target size for mass storage in your opinion? For me, I'd like to see at least 8-10TB usable space!

@@OMGTheCloud A typical home has at least a couple (2-3 PCs/Macs). Assuming each has a 1TB of storage, you would need at least double of that for Time Machine or similar backup. So that's a min of 4-6 TB right there. Then you have your mobile phones, which....if you were to have an equivalent of a $10/mo 2TB iCloud storage, would get you up to ~8TB. But then you have your PLEX/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and general file storage. Realistically speaking, if you want room for growth, it has to be a minimum of a 24TB of usable storage. That said, why not just throw a basic TrueNAS Core set up with multiple drives in the garage, and point your Homelab server to that box for targeted storage? I'd rather fill the box you made with SATA or NVME SSD's for faster access and longer term storage in garage. Heck some of the stuff you can get off AliExpress now is dirt cheap and would easily do the job of a general purpose NAS.
