I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

    I wish HA was reliable. Every time I get motivated to set something up it inevitably stops working eventually.

    I think this is mostly down to hardware vendors wanting to keep you in their walled garden and breaking APIs as well as the overly convoluted steps you have to go though to get stuff working (hello Google). But it still kills any enthusiasm I have for it.

      Well, don’t use devices from waited garden ecosystems. My Home Assistant is up and running for years without any issues.

      Yeah this is an issue not exclusive to Home Assistant unfortunately. I’ve been dabbling in home automation for years, and every single piece of equipment I have every purchased has at least once gotten flaky or straight up died for absolutely no reason. It’s just part of life with home automation it seems like.
