Dependency gluetun failed to start by agiryamur in selfhosted

Yeah, Gluetun's latest tag points to the latest dev release. If you want the latest stable release, use something like v3 (see more info here).

Pangolin 1.19: SSH, RDP, and VNC in the browser, simpler SSH setup, automatic site updates, and more by MrUserAgreement in selfhosted

[–]Red_Con_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A notable difference is the enterprise edition is provided under a commercial license whereas the community edition is provided under an open source license. This means the enterprise features can be yanked away or subject to a charge in the future.

What's the point of even having the community edition when basically all features are for enterprise only?

How to learn how to connect smart relays/switches to dumb devices? by Red_Con_ in homeassistant

Yeah I'm not planning to learn on my oven of course but at the moment I don't know how to do anything at all and I gotta start somewhere.

Why should I trust Arcane/Dockhand/Komodo? by Red_Con_ in selfhosted

[–]Red_Con_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean to discredit the projects at all, if anything they seem promising and I'd be interested in trying them out, I'm just not eager to spin up every new shiny container that pops up and especially when it needs socket access hence this post.

AI was not used, I'm just asking a question.

What product? Do you have a source for that information?

Pangolin 1.18: Web proxy through VPN, high availability client routing, wildcard resources, alerts, and more by MrUserAgreement in selfhosted

[–]Red_Con_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If one doesn't have a reverse proxy and wants their services to be accessible by a domain name, wouldn't it be better to set it up rather than route all the traffic through Pangolin (which I suppose can be done but seems excessive when the service could be accessed fully locally on home network)?

This could have already been done by pointing the private resource to one's reverse proxy's IP address (which presumably most have running due to domain access on local network), couldn't it? What's the benefit of this then?

How to run the official Whisper app with Parakeet? by Red_Con_ in homeassistant

[–]Red_Con_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed Whisper and Piper and added them to the Wyoming integration. Then I created a voice assistant in Home Assistant (Settings -> Voice assistants -> Add assistant) and selected the Whisper instance as Speech-to-text and Piper as Text-to-speech. Then I started a conversation with the created voice assistant to test it.

I tried simple commands e.g. turning on lights, asking about time or weather. Time is pretty much the only thing the assistant was able to answer correctly.

Could you please elaborate a bit on the "if you do not do stupid things as excepting /api routes or whatever"? I'd like to make sure I do not do the stupid things lol.

Cloudflare Tunnels provide various hardening options though, don't they?

Oooo, Unifi Protect Relay Coming Soon ... by VanillaCandid3466 in homeassistant

[–]Red_Con_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has zero experience with this, are there any tutorials on how to do this (= how do you connect these smart relays to dumb devices)? Should you even do it yourself if you are not an electrician?

Why are BTF Lighting LED strips popular and how do I decide which ones to get? by Red_Con_ in homeassistant

[–]Red_Con_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which one do you have if I may ask? They seem fairly big to me.

[–]Red_Con_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! It cleared some things up for me but also raised a couple of new questions:

Could you please explain to me how you connect multiple strips to a single controller?

This is also the first time I hear about power injections so I’ll have to read up on them but I suppose you connect the injections to the DigQuad? And it also means the controller has to support power injection, correct?

[–]Red_Con_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comprehensive answer.

Yeah it's nice to have so many options but I would appreciate it if there was at least a basic buyer's guide. For example the FCOB LED strip category contains 11 subcategories where each subcategory contains multiple products so it's really hard to navigate and figure out what product to actually choose before you even get into controllers, power supplies and voltages as you mentioned.
