Hi,
Long time Home Assistant user. Originally via Docker on Unraid, then Hassio on a couple of RPis (both of which got corrupted SD Cards) and currently running in a Docker on a dedicated laptop with Ubuntu 16.04.I have a bit of everything in my current config - ZWave, Hue, Xiaomi, IP Cams, MQTT, ESP8266, and a bunch of integrations.
I want to get to a point of having things as clean as possible…get rid of as much cloud dependency as possible, simplify my integrations, and make it so that if something breaks - it’s easy to get back up and running.
I’ll have a i5 NUC coming available soon, have ample RPis and a rock-solid Unraid environment to choose from. I’m leaning towards the NUC for purposes of isolation, with the RPis being for some of the ancillary functions (PiHole, MotionEyeOS, etc), but I have a feeling doing something virtualized on the Unraid might be the best for the long term.
Anyone have personal experience on this they’d be willing to share? In some ways, I feel paralyzed by all the potential options, along with their respective pros & cons, that lie in front of me.
Thanks much.
