Lol. I (Quebecer) have 200a panel, electric resistive heating (in every room including a detached garage, no central AHU) + mini-split heat pump + electric car charger + electric water heater and my power demand never go above 15 kW (which equates to ~ 62 Amps).
Should I bother to keep using it or shall I just bite the pill and move to SCALE? I have 3 jails and I’m seriously considering my TrueNAS instance as a storage only, and resort to VM and containers on a dedicated machine to use applications.
I know nothing about what a BPI R4 is. My take : let the router be a router : don’t run container(s) on it. If you need containers: Take a x86 box, Run an hypervisor OS (e.g. Proxmox), create a VM for your router OS (openWRT, OPNsense, etc.) and pass through your Network Interface Card(s). Then run your containers on the host OS or in a dedicated VM.
Personally, I have colour-capable bulbs in my bedroom (paired with a smart switch). Using Adaptive lighting (https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting) was a breeze to setup and offers more capabilities than I even need.
That’s an impressive stack you were able to build. How long did it take you?
Thank you for the good work you (and the mods-to-be) are doing. Seeing this community grows is awesome!
Hello all,
I'd like to get a bit of your help to get me started in the right direction.
I have a project that, I think is simple :
- Trigger : I press a Zigbee action button
- Expected result : Music is playing in my Bluetooth headphones and will stop in 30 minutes.
The gotchas that I have, for now :
- The source file of the music is actually Tidal (a streaming platform similar to Spotify, but better).
- My Home Assistant installation lives in a VM and has no Bluetooth capability
- I have both a RPI3B and a ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1-N8 to my disposal
So, far, my researched lead me to come with this solution. 1 - Install Logitech Media Server (aka LMS or SqueezeServer) [Done] 2 - Install Tidal Plugin on LMS [Done] 3 - Flash my ESP32 with SqueezeLite-esp32 [Not done]. 4 - Craft an automation to glue everything together. [Obviously, not done]
The problem I think I have is that my ESP32-S3 doesn't meet the 4MB PSRAM required by the SqueezeLite-esp32. Before purchasing another ESP32 with more PSRAM, I wanted to ask if you thought that I understood this properly?
Other solutions that I haven't thought of? Would using Volumio be a better solution?
Thanks for your help!
Ratio Six prepared with water (to the 4 cups mark) and ground coffee (35 g) before going to be on the eve. Wake up, press the button, and get delicious coffee in ~6 minutes.
Why not do both ? As I understand it, to do kubernetes clusters, you must have at least 3 hosts. They don’t need to be 3 different physical hosts: they could be VM (hosted on Proxmox).
Proxmox also having a very strong implementation of ZFS, then it could be used as the storage « host », and it gives you also the option to do snapshots of the VM (and the storage pool), as well as replication/etc.
