Strit

I technically still have a hosted website, but it’s rarely updated anymore. It’s very low priority compared to my self-hosted stuff.

I have the WTR R7 (N100 model 2 bay) and I can’t really complain. It was fairly cheap and it does what it says it does. Power draw with 2 2.5" SSD’s is about 11W average, but the RYzen one will be more.

I have some on freezers, and one on an air fryer that does 2400W. That’s the biggest loads I have.

I can whole-heartedly recommend the Aqara Power Plugs. They are Zigbee, has energy monitoring, works flawlessly with Home Assistant via ZHA and come in US/EU/UK formats. I have about 10 of these and I have not been disappointed in the 5 years I have had them.

I assume that your inbox size counts against the cloud storage they provide?

Seems it only handles “archived” games. So they need to be archived in a single .zip/rar/gzip/tar file.

Would it be able to handle .ISO files?

Answer: Yes. Found it in their documentation.

I had an experience like that. The droplet was used as a seedbox for Linux ISO torrents (truth, not a cover) and after a couple of months they contacted me, saying they where seeing abnormal activity to and from the droplet and I should investigate and take action within a week, else they would turn the droplet off.

After I explained it to them they replied that using a droplet as a seedbox was not allowed, poinnted to the relevant part of their TOS and I agreed to shut it down.

What the OP is experiencing is a poor way of doing business for them.

I host mine just like you want to do. Ghost running in a docker container on my homelab, with reverse proxy and domain pointing to it.

Haven’t had any issues so far.

It means that clients and bots for Discord will also work with this.

As far as I can tell, it’s not Discord, but an open source alternative. So I don’t think it talks to regular discord servers, but you can use any Discord compatible client to talk to SpaceBarChat.

I don’t use the share via email function so I can’t tell if that’s working or not. But I haven’t seen the other issues you mentioned. I can install/update apps fine in the web-interface and I haven’t seen any errors regarding whiteboard.

I don’t know if it has androd widgets, but ServerBox monitors any machine over SSH.

I opted for the version with RAM and nvme for $270. had to pay shipping, but no import tax (lucky me). So all in all it was about $300 for me.

And yes I run Linux on it. Arch Linux to be precise. Have not encountered any driver issues.

Exactly. It handles Jellyfin + other services very well.

I bought a “cheap chinesium” one a couple of months back and have not regretted it (yet). It does what it claimed it would.

The one I bought: Aoostar R1

I was thinking the same. Could be an IP conflict.

Maybe you where on an older Ubuntu LTS. I don’t know which Ubuntu they consider “supported”.

I’ve been running my HA in Docker on Arch Linux for the last 4-5 years and I have never been notified that my OS is unsupported. Could be portainer related.

You didn’t mention in your OP that it had to be debian distro packages. I just gave examples of HA being packaged in other ways than a complete OS.

I could have said: “If you want to run HA from packages, you need to install Arch!” But I didn’t. Chill out.

It is both.

Home Assistant created an OS for appliance like installations.

But there is also the docker images, repo packages (I know Arch Linux has it in the repo) and pip based packages too.

Shipping prices would vary depending on location though, right?
