Tinkerer ,

I would be interested to hear how this goes. I had this setup with tailscale but having it run 24/7 on both our phones drained the battery really quickly. That being said I was running full tunnel and also needed home assistant background location running as well.

Tinkerer ,

Hmm yeah makes sense, I just can't do it since then I would need VPN app and home assistant app running 24/7 lol. I need location for home assistant and both appa are too much for my wife's iPhone. I might tey again but with gpslogger instead of home assistant for location.

So what provider does everyone recommend instead of cloudflare for proxy? I use cloudflare to protect all my websites but I've been trying to find some other place to proxy them from.

Tinkerer ,

I mean no but the added security kind of trumps everything else. It helps to not expose my public IP and the added bonus of firewall rules too.

Tinkerer ,

I host all my stuff locally including my nginx proxy manager and I do also have opnsense firewall rules with geoip blocking as well.

    Tinkerer ,

    I like lineage is and have used for 5+ years. I'm now using it without google services. I mainly use it because I can't really afford a pixel phone and the many supported devices lineage is has is phenomenal. That being said I would love to tey graphene os.

    +1 they are completely local, cheap and have a tight integration with home assistant, I have 5 of their cameras.

    Tinkerer OP ,

    Hmm ok I've only tried accessing the login page via my browser using the fqdn but haven't tried from another source like davx. I have 10 other services working fine over the internet so I'm not sure what im doing wrong with this setup.

    Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

    I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

    Tinkerer ,

    I have a proxmox hassio VM with 2gb ram and it runs everything smart in my house. The main purpose would be for automations IMO. Like when my phone chargers at night the house lights, TVs locks all shut down and the cameras go into alerting mode. Home assistant is amazing since you don't have to have 5 apps to control stuff and your data is completely private unlike when using Google home etc. When buying IOT devices I would say stick with zigbee, zwave and only buy WiFi stuff if it works locally without having to have internet wccess.

    This exactly what I'm trying to do, get valid https certificates via a domain name on cloudflare. I have nginx proxy manager running and working to serve a couple of sites like home assistant. The problem I'm having is how do I get valid certificates for my internal services via npm but only be able to access them inside my lan not the internet?

    This is why I have my cameras locally and can't reach the internet. 2fa screw up, accidentally sending other peoples cameras to users then this!? Not sure how this company is still alive. They have no idea what they are doing security wise.

    Tinkerer ,

    Good thing I have frigate nvr setup and don't need their app at all. This is super sad since these are my go to cameras. I will still buy them since I put them on a vlan and block all internet access. This is sad though 😕
