As much as I would love this to kick MS in the backside, it won’t. The public at large has no idea what this is or why it’s bad and evil. They will buy a computer, it will come with Windows, and they’ll use it like they always have. Companies and Govts will gripe initially, but give in because their ancient VB enterprise apps only run on Windows.
I have been using purelymail with my own domains, and at $10 a year with no limit on domains or users under those domains, it’s amazing value.
Been using Purelymail, full email, but SMTP as well, and love the service thus far.
Headscale server, open source, self hosted, with the open source tailscale clients are the way to go.
Short answer, yes, you can forward port 11500 to port 443, but it means you’ll have to go to www.yourdomain.com:11500 and this may or may not work great with you applications inside the network depending on how they are set to run.
I used to use one years ago called yEd graph editor. Supremely amazing. It is free to use, but I don’t think it’s open source.
To the title of this article /post, all I can say is Duh.
I’ve seen this project just get better and better. Thes improvements are awesome. The tool gives you so many ways to do things, it’s amazing. I covered it on my channel a while back, and someone who watched reported a bug and it was fixed within a couple of days. Try that with any of the big tech giants. You all rock! Well done!
I have to agree with this. It’s your mom. If she isn’t hurting you, or asking you to watch them, and you have the space and bandwidth, just do it.

Home Assistant is the brain of the operation. Your smart phone is just an arm or hand in the operation. It’s the same for any of the services you perceive to be just using your smart phone. They actually call out to servers owned by the various companies, and then return requested operations to your devices at home. So with Home Assistant you have the opportunity to use devices and a server that all remain in your own network. Your data and information aren’t being sent to a third party. This, of course, depends on the devices you buy.
But that’s the power behind Home Assistant.
This. 100%
I’d like to highly recommend QOwnNotes with. File system sync like Nextcloud. Superb.
I’m kind of loving Zabbix, but not sure if it’s the right solution for your needs. I’d say it would definitely work, but does take a bit of setup initially. This article is interesting, and seems to have a lot of what you want. Not sure if you want to do all of this. https://opensource.com/article/23/3/build-raspberry-pi-dashboard-appsmith
If you want to self host check out Wireguard options like Netmaker, Headscale, Netbird, etc. these all allow you the ability to setup a machine as an exit node into a LAN, and allow LAN to LAN communication. If you are just looking for a VPN and don’t have to self host, then Tailscale might be a good starting point. Figure out the setup you like, then move to a self hosted headscale setup later using that as a model.
I run OpenSprinkler Pi on my raspberry Pi 3 and HomeAssistant on my Pi 4. Works incredibly well for both.
This! If you can get them for UK voltages and plow style. They are inexpensive and handle 15A, and give the power consumption data as well.
