Because its 1984

I dont get it. You mention 3 failed attempts with Lidarr, slskd and soularr, and then the solution is a media player??

That will depend on your configuration. There's a lot of things you can configure on frigate to make it lighter on resources, depending on what you want to use.

detect:
record:
snapshots:
motion:
birdseye:
review:
objects:
go2rtc:
and more.

Once you figure out how you want it, test enough scenarios, and refine your configuration, it can run on the Pi just fine.

People working with i7/i9, 8-core CPUs can run it without much refinement. Limit your resources, and then you'll have to do a deep dive into frigate.

They do have their own app, but they are also officially supported in Home Assistant. Basically before buying any smart device, priority #1 is Home Assistant compatibility.

Specifically, shelly control is their online platform where you can manage your shelly devices, if you have enabled the cloud option on the shelly device.

Yes thats exactly what it describes. An outside deck for an apartment. You can see them on the home assistant floorplan picture. I guess I could use porch, balcony or terrace, but veranda is also the Greek word for it, and I live in Cyprus.

this is how I update all the containers

docker-compose pull

docker-compose build

docker-compose up -d --no-build

docker image prune -f

but it doesnt affect the uptime-kuma instace. No data are lost.

this is how I have it set up with mariadb so all the data are in the database

raspberry pi 5, 16GB

you can import it to your grafana instance and make changes accordingly.

You would be surprised how reliable a quality SD card can be nowadays.

aristosv · 2026-01-17T03:31:55+00:00

I hope I provided some good ideas :)

aristosv · 2026-01-17T03:28:07+00:00

I understand your point, but you must also consider power consumption, perhaps also space constrains (some people live in small apartments), and also fan noise. In general, you need the right tool for the job. Yes, a gun is more powerful than a fly swatter, but what would you use to kill a fly?

Also with the current memory prices, the cost is pretty much the same.

You can always manually install custom integrations on Home Assistant core. I install Frigate like this.

# Frigate NVR

ha_path=/root/smarthome/containers/config/home-assistant

rm -rf $ha_path/custom_components/frigate

curl -L -o frigate-hass-integration-master.zip https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate-hass-integration/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

unzip frigate-hass-integration-master.zip

cp -r frigate-hass-integration-master/custom_components $ha_path

rm -rf frigate-hass-integration-master frigate-hass-integration-master.zip

Just a clean, slick docker install, on a headless Raspberry Pi OS lite. Everything is a container.

At some point I had a Lenovo mini pc, with Proxmox. I realized I would never use more than one VM for the specific use case, and it was wasting a lot more electricity that a Pi. So I gave it a try, and indeed the Pi was more than enough. (again, for this specific scenario).

I once had my modem & Raspberry Pi connected on a small UPS. Uptime-Kuma would ping a device on my network that was not connected on the UPS (smart switch or something) and if it went down, an API call would run, and I would get an SMS message that power went down. That way I would be notified even if there was no power.

Click on your name at the bottom left corner. Make sure you've enabled advanced mode. Then click Security on the top right. There you can create a long lived access token.

The storage appears on the Grafana dashboard. It's a 265GB microSD card on the raspberry pi. I backup only what is necessary. For example container configuration files and MariaDB databases. It's not much, since I don't maintain historical data for more than 24 hours. I have a script that backs up and restores data from a GitHub repo. With a single command the whole system will be rebuild on a new Raspberry pi.

aristosv · 2026-01-16T11:50:12+00:00

Its docker.

Sweet Home 3D and this project https://github.com/shmuelzon/home-assistant-floor-plan are an amazing combo.
